The Diyarbakır Cultural Road Festival, the 14th event in the Turkish Cultural Road Festivals organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, officially opened on Oct. 12.

Turkey's first robot actor Aypera took the stage at the Contemporary Istanbul art fair, telling the visitors her story.

"Hi! I am Aypera. I am a digital human," she says in video footage being played at the exhibit's Plugin section that focuses on new media and digital arts. "I wonder about the world and humankind. I do not have a body like you."
