Yeni Medya Ekolojisinde Heykel Sanatının Dijitalleşmesi

Abstract

This study discusses execution and creativity in new media ecology by focusing on contemporary sculpture art and artists residing in Turkey. This study analyzes how sculpture artists interpret digitalization and understand its relationship with new media technologies. It is insufficient to evaluate the period’s artworks only in terms of form (Huntürk, 2016). Therefore, in this study, how contemporary sculpture artists make sense of art in new media ecology gains importance. To understand the adventure of contemporary Turkish art, which started with the Republican period, and its position in the new media ecology, I will discuss its historical background and previous studies. I will study interviews with contemporary sculpture artists and the examination of their portfolios to shed light on the present. This thesis looks at the relationship between the sculptor and the new media through the expressions of the sculptors. This thesis covers topics from the relationship between New Media and Sculpture Art and focuses on digitalization of the artist’s concept and creativity. It aims to look at the conveniences provided by new media technologies, the cultural dimension of digitalization and how artists make sense of their bond with society with these developments.
