Our today's art with in the context of speed and technology

Speed and technology have been creating each other in a reciprocal relation since the very beginning. In this thesis study, the process in our today?s art experienced within the context of speed and technology had been researched and sampled. The first breaking point experienced in the art as the result of speed and technological developments was the representation problem, having been started with the invention of photograph machine, and brought the fragmentation of figure and dispersion of perspective, along with the dispersion of representation, esthetic and image in the superficial virtuality of display units. Transformation of ready to use products into art, starting with pissoir, had accelerated the development process of art and increased the diversity of materials used in art, but it caused to the loss of individuality, genuineness and aura of the art. Nowadays, art had entered into a new age, where art lost its greatness and where everything can be art, therefore art had entered into a new age, where an irrecoverable emptiness will be witnessed. Technological developments create visual bombardment in the century, in which we are living and caused to the change of proportions between our sensations. While these visual and audial bombardments have been making it possible to experience and consume everything speedily, it also created amnesia. Engine of speed and technology caused to the irrecoverable loss of something in the plastic arts. Art could not have been able to renew itself against the speed and technology and there do not remain any perception, focus and perspective in the motorized imagine. Accordingly and as a results of all of these, art had been exposed to an accident and the process, which had been started after this accident, is considered herein. Making an art is free and hard nowadays and had entered into a very painful process. In this thesis study, this process had been sampled with art-works of various artists and examined within the context of speed and technological features. The result obtained from these determinations and studies showed us that staying out of the speedy and advanced technological developments becomes more impossible day by day. Opportunities and possibilities of our age widened pluralistic art environment and increased the diversity of artistic production. However, what an artist should do, is to review and evaluate the opportunities, possibilities and conditions of his/her time and age, to become aware accumulations of art, which survived until today and to follow and research the works accomplished in the name of art in our today?s world and to think a lot and to apply and to become sincere, while doing these, passing through our own reality. ?ngilizce Anahtar Kelimeler: 1- Contemporary Painting 2- Technology 3- Speed-Space 4- Simulasyon 5- Web Art
