Halil Sezgin, an Izmir security guard, took his passion for painting to a new level. Sezgin opened the gallery, which presents 50 local and international painters. The paintings in the gallery were virtually placed on the surface of Mars. When you click on the pictures in the gallery, which can also be viewed in three dimensions, information about the artist and the sale price of the picture are displayed.

Stating that he has been interested in painting since his childhood, Sezgin said, “There have always been plans to go to Mars. I thought I’d go and open a gallery there before anyone else. This idea was interesting to my painter friends as well. We opened a virtual gallery in May 2021. At that time, pandemic restrictions were intense. Our gallery is completely computerized. Those who want to visit the gallery can visit www.resimcenneti.com/mars.html. Those who wish can also view the gallery with VR glasses.”

Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that Istanbul’s Çamlıca Tower has hosted approximately 2.3 million visitors since its inauguration by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 29, 2021.

Standing at 587 meters above sea level, the tulip-shaped tower is the tallest structure in Istanbul and combines architecture, technology, and visitor experience. It includes 49 floors with observation decks, restaurants, and interactive exhibits showcasing Istanbul’s landmarks.

Uraloğlu emphasized the tower’s role in broadcasting, currently supporting 100 FM channels, 16 analog TV, and 15 DAB+ stations, along with services for GSM and public institutions. He noted that Çamlıca Tower has significantly reduced electromagnetic emissions in the area, lowering levels from 39 to 2.5 Volts/meter—well below EU safety standards.
