Following Mezo Digital, Mezo Academy was established in 2017, Mezo Techno in 2019, and Mezo Digital Art in 2020 intending to fill a significant gap in the digital art field in Turkey and bring digital art projects to the public.

At Mezo Digital Art, we aim to explore the rich and diverse world of digital art in our country. We bring art enthusiasts together by showcasing examples in different disciplines of digital art such as AR, XR, VR, as well as in fields such as Textile and Bio-Art. Through our exhibitions and festivals, we expand the boundaries of digital art and emphasize the universality of art. We have built a growing family with over 200 local and foreign artists in our portfolio. By exhibiting the works of our curator AVIND, Turkey's first artificial intelligence curator, we aim to bring a new perspective to the art world. Besides, we continue to embrace the works of Shusha, Azerbaijan's first artificial intelligence artist, and exhibit them all over the world. Mezo Digital Art moves forward with the vision of being a platform not only for digital art but also a platform where technology and innovation meet art. Our goal is to push the boundaries of art and offer the possibilities of the digital age to art enthusiasts while building a community in this field.

As a pioneer in the field of digital art, the Istanbul Digital Art Festival has been one of the most significant achievements of our company over the past years. IDAF (Istanbul Digital Art Festival) focuses on presenting art and the impact of the ongoing digital transformation on digital art in the current era where digitalization has spread to all aspects of life and society's relationship with evolving technologies irreversibly increased. The festival started its journey in 2020 under the leadership of academician, digital transformation expert, and entrepreneur Dr. Nabat Garakhanova. IDAF, prepared with the support of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is carried out under the coordination of Mezo Digital. The festival aims to create space for artworks produced with technology, increase their visibility, and organize exhibitions in line with the requirements of the transformation art is going through. It is not only Istanbul's but also Turkey's first and ongoing festival that features only digital artworks. The conceptual framework of the festival and the festival artists are selected by a different curatorial team each year. Within the scope of the festival, every year a different historic structure in Istanbul hosts works produced by new media artists at the intersection of science, art, and technology.

We continue to work globally with our international partners. SHUSHA, Azerbaijan's first artificial intelligence artist, will come together with art enthusiasts at the Dance of Symbols Exhibition at Cercle Royal Gaulois in Brussels on February 12-13. The Preview of the Istanbul Digital Art Festival, curated by AVIND and in its fourth edition this year, will take place at MEET DIGITAL CULTURAL CENTER, one of Europe's leading art galleries in Milan, on March 4 at 19:30. In this special screening, the unique works and experiences that will take place at IDAF 24 will come together with art lovers.
