By attending a 3D tour of And Now the Good News: Works from the Nobel Collection exhibition, which features over 400 works by 164 artists who have used a variety of media, such as painting, photography, collage, drawing, installation, and video, participants have the opportunity to view the most important periods of modern and contemporary art. Then, under the guidance of Bager Akbay, an artist known for his many works on physical interaction, artificial intelligence and art, we attend a workshop on the Scratch platform. Using visuals, texts or sounds we have produced or found elsewhere, we code our own work of art, deriving inspiration from some of the Dadaist work that captured our attention in the exhibition.

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
