New media art's transitions from festivals to museums transitions from temporary exhibition models to museum shows and collections

In this thesis, the effects of technological innovations that emerged with the possibilities of new media on artists, institutions and art in general are examined. The works of the artists who use technology and make experiments by collaborating with engineers were mentioned, and various events such as festivals and symposiums that paved the way for these experimental studies are mentioned. It is thought that the relationship of new media art with festivals and art institutions will give a general idea about how new media art has been taking its place in mainstream art. With the reshaping of societies by new media, institutions have also begun to change. These changes in the art environment have also led art museums to an inevitable change. In this context, new museology is a concept that needs to be mentioned. Today, with the emergence of important art investment platforms such as NFT, a new channel is formed for artists in the digital field in terms of exhibition, auction and sale of works. In this context, collection and copyright issues were also investigated in the thesis.
