Backtopoints is an artist duo founded by brothers Zafer and Tuna Topaloğlu. Before forming the Duo, Zafer was a practicing video artist who was 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.
