An Interference with the available presence of a historical artifact/artwork is also an interference with the historical meaning-building around that artwork. From that moment on, a new meaning is constructed around that artwork which points out to both the present construction and the former one. The virgin is a construction/an artwork questioning this situation by also interfering sharply the main structure of the virgin as the work places it in a fresh meaning-building situation, thus taking it out of its well-established historical construction, and replacing it with a new historical presence.

Backtopoints is an artist duo founded by brothers Zafer and Tuna Topaloğlu. Before forming the Duo, Zafer was a practicing video artist who is active at the international video/film arts scene, and exhibited at many international festivals such as European Media Art Festival, Darklight Film Festival, Videobrasil, Videomedeja, Videoformes, India Art Fair, Room Art Fair, Les Instant Video Art Festival, Art Bengaluru Fair among others while Tuna was working on his own video game.

Their passion for being and working together brought them together and they started the duo. They work on a practice that transports the audience to a space where they could meet an understanding of beauty beyond the visible world by using particle, fluid, smoke and rigid body simulations and combining these with 3d modeling operations in their works.

Aside from many NFT platforms, such as Nifty Gateway, Foundation, Knownorigin and Makersplace among athers, Backtopoints has recently exhibited at the Muze Gazhane, EmaarArtHub İstanbul, Turkey Innovation Week 2022 and completed a commisioned NFT work for the international marketing agency YKONE.
