Sonar Istanbul 2018

Sónar, one of the world’s most important electronic music festivals, has just turned 25. The Istanbul leg of the festival was organized for the first time last year and made a very big impact. The festival, which was held at Zorlu PSM again on 6-7 April this year, brought together many names from musician to an academic, researcher to a scientist that produce in the music world; it went beyond being a music festival and offered an instructive and experimental platform. Audiovisual performances with a Digilogue presentation were among the most notable at the festival, which featured over 100 artists. Audiovisual performances have been in almost every festival in recent years and are an interesting area for many.  It is very important for the artist to make their creativity uninhibited through technology. Behind those kinds of performances, which also paves the way for multidisciplinary works, can sometimes be a single artist and sometimes a group.

The Istanbul leg of the Sónar Festival, which celebrates its 25th year, hosts amazing DJ/producers from the electronic music scene, as well as many artists who bring together creativity and technology together. Creativity is one of the main forces that changed reality in the 21st century.  Digi.logue, which focuses on creativity and technology, is the main sponsor of Sonar + D, which nurtures creativity with technology and is based on cultural interaction within Sonar, one of the most important platforms of our time.

Sonar + D Istanbul has created a space where inspiring ideas that shape the present and the future are discussed with panels, conferences and presentations that examine how art, technology and creative power transform industries. In addition, the marketlab and workshops brought together artists, research centers, universities, brands and individuals with innovative ideas for two days. Here are the most inspiring moments of Sonar+D Istanbul, where professionals from different fields and audiences come together!
