Abstract (EN)

In this dissertation, whose subject is "Play and Interactive Art Relations in the Postmodern Society", the phenomenon that the representation of interactive artworks that includes ludic elements increases according to the dissappearnace of frontiers between art and daily life has been studied within the context of play, motivation and desire concepts. The postmodern culture that originated from globalization enabled a communication via instruments like cell phones and television, and internet also made it possible for everyone to access information of any kind simultaneously, therefore, it leads to an evaluation towards a new social structure. In this era which is also called the consumption society, individuals are guided through an image bombardment and constantly pushed towards consumption as a mass. Internet, on the one hand, increases the variety in lives of individuals via information flow between different cultures and geographies, on the other hand, it leads to monotypes as an effect of popular imagery. It is a necessity to create spaces for the masses who are in a race between the options they are presented in the constant consumption madness. As a result of acculturation of everything in postmodern society, art while offering a space as it is creative and free in this context, it also provides an increase in oppurtunity of experiencing interactivity by giving a chance to be part of the artwork.
