Abstract (EN)
LEGO has established itself as a significant tool at the intersection of culture, art, and technology, fostering creativity within the art world. This study explores the multifaceted relationship between LEGO and art, examining the reinterpretation of classical artworks, its applications in independent art projects, and the innovations brought about by digitalization. The pixelated aesthetic of LEGO has enabled both physical and digital reinterpretations of art, offering artists diverse means of expression. Notably, the reconstruction of classical works using LEGO has facilitated the transformation of two-dimensional images into three-dimensional forms, ensuring the timeless relevance of these masterpieces for new generations. The research highlights LEGO's extensive influence, spanning from art history to modern and digital art practices. Digital platforms, NFT technology, and online collaboration environments have elevated LEGO from a physical medium to a global artistic platform. LEGO serves as a bridge between the classical and the modern, the physical and the digital, emerging as a medium that supports innovation in artistic production processes. This evolving role underscores LEGO's continued contribution to creative processes and its significance in the future of art.
