Abstract:

 In the study, the phenomenon of art was evaluated by creating contexts based on the way people perceive life. This research focuses on the Transhuman ideology rather than trans-humanism and examines the impact of the futuristic perspective under the domination of hegemons on todays cultural transformations and artistic trends. A questioning approach was taken while evaluating cultural transformations and artistic projects within the frameworks of transhuman ideology. It can be said that this research, which offers a different perspective on the use of new technologies that have permeated every aspect of life in the postdigital culture, will contribute to raising awareness. Explanations and examples of glitch art, holographic art, and mixed reality art, which could be evaluated within the scope of postdigital art, are not included in the research. Due to the evaluation of art in terms of the Transhuman Ideology, more focus has been placed on post-digital artistic projects that emphasize the human-machine unity and the human transformation process. In the Introduction section of the research, general evaluations were made within the framework of the research subject with humans as the point of reference. In the section title Transhuman Ideology, explanations were given on topics such as the epistemology of the concept of humanism, the philosophical foundations of transhumanism, and its impact on culture. Regarding cultural changes, which constitute the main content of the study, explanations were provided with examples reflecting transhumanism in art under the title Transhumanism and Art in the Relationship of Postdigital Culture within the defined scope. In the Result and Discussion section, findings related to artistic orientations in relation to cultural transformations on the axis of transhumanism were interpreted, and evaluations were made from a holistic perspective.

 Bu çalışmada sanat olgusu, insanın yaşamı algılayış biçimiyle bağlamlar oluşturularak değerlendirilmiştir. Trans- hümanizmden ziyade Transhüman ideolojiye vurgu yapılacak bu araştırmada hegemonlar tahakkümünde gelecekçi bakış açısının, günümüz kültürel dönüşümlere etkisi ve sanatsal yönelimler irdelenmiştir. Araştırmada, kültürel dönüşümler ve sanatsal projeler transhüman ideoloji ekseninde değerlendirilirken sorgulayıcı bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Postdijital kültürde yaşamın her alanına yayılan yeni teknolojilerin kullanımına ilişkin farklı bir bakış açısı sunan araştırmaların farkındalığın artmasına katkı sağlayacağı söylenebilir. Postdijital sanat kapsamında değerlendirilebilecek; aksaklık sanatı, holografik sanat, karma gerçeklik sanatı ile ilgili açıklama ve örneklere araştırmada yer verilmemiştir. Sanatın Transhüman İdeoloji ekseninde değerlendirilmesi nedeniyle, insan-makine birlikteliğini ve insanın dönüşüm sürecini vurgulayan post-dijital sanatsal projelere daha fazla odaklanılmıştır. Bu minvalde araştırmanın Giriş bölümünde insan referans alınarak araştırma konusu çerçevesinde genel değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Transhüman İdeoloji başlığında hümanizm kavramının epistemelojisi, transhümanizmin felsefi temelleri ve kültüre etkisi gibi konularda, bulgulara ve açıklamalara yer verilmiştir. Çalışmanın asıl içeriğini oluşturan kültürel değişimler ilişkisinde transhümanizmin sanattaki yansımalarına Postdijital Kültür İlişkisinde Transhümanizm ve Sanat başlığında, belirlenen sınırlar dahilinde, örnekler verilerek açıklamalar yapılmıştır. Sonuç ve Tartışma bölümünde transhümanizm ekseninde kültürel dönüşümler ilişkisinde sanatsal yönelimlerle ilgili bulgular yorumlanıp bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirmelere yer verilmiştir.
