The tension between contemporary and modern art: The emergence of new media in Turkey, the development of digital art and the changing institutions/institutional structure
Abstract
As a new art form of a new world that technology has changed and transformed, new media art and other forms of creation associated with it have different stages of development in different countries. Questions such as the development of this form in Turkish art, the visibility of the artists working in this field in the international art field, what qualities the created works have and what stages they have passed through to capture the current digital identity (aesthetics) have not yet been fully clarified in the literature. In this context, the research takes an important role in filling the gap in the literature by chronologically addressing this change process in Turkish art and analyzing the progress of new media art from past to present. In accordance with this purpose; first of all, the relationship between modern art and contemporary art and the changing dimensions of cultural structure are examined. In this context, new media arts and digitalized art creations, which exist as a new form of contemporary/contemporary art, are included in the research through the development of the screen phenomenon and analyzed. In the continuation of the research, the development of new media in Turkey, the pioneering steps taken in this context, the first exhibitions, different creation mechanisms, collaborations in the formation process, alternatives for exhibition strategies are analyzed. Then, the development of new media and the process of change in institutions and institutional structures are discussed in two different aspects in terms of the exhibition process of the work and the creation process, and the collaborations of different disciplines in the creation process of digital art are examined with examples from the world and Turkey. The research, in which the foundations of the change between contemporary and modern art are analyzed through new media art and digitalized art creations, is a qualitative research using the relational analysis method and the analyzed works are included in the research with purposeful element sampling.
