About

The New Memory of Digital Culture

As the Digital Culture and Screen Industries Association (DİKED), we examine the effects of our era's technological transformation on cultural production, narrative forms and creative industries through a human-centred lens. We are an independent civil society organisation based in Istanbul, committed to supporting the future of cinema, new media, data arts, screen industries and creative disciplines on an ethical, inclusive and sustainable foundation.

We place creative labour, equity and accessibility at the centre of our activities, building a dynamic ecosystem through evidence-based research, capacity-development programmes and international partnerships. We recognise the digital evolution of cultural narratives not merely as technical progress but as a social and artistic transformation, offering a space for enduring interdisciplinary public dialogue.

We operate across a broad field spanning generative AI to creative coding, immersive technologies (XR/VR/AR) to the traditional screen industry, bringing together industry professionals and academic expertise under a shared roof. Acting with a sense of collective responsibility, we are committed to channelling the opportunities of the digital world into social benefit and high-quality artistic production.
