Art Producing Hypothetical Reality Under the Influence of Digital Culture

Abstract

Objective reality refers to the material, affective and mental perceptions related to the object. Alternative reality is that the world of emotions and thoughts offers options to the objective world. Art produces alternative reality by involuntarily transforming objective reality into a representation even while directly conveying it. In today's society, which is influenced by Digital Culture, the perception of reality moves to a different dimension, transforms alternative propositions into a conscious design and creates a virtual universe. Virtual reality, on the other hand, goes beyond alternative reality and includes a hypothetical reality that does not exist in the objective world and is designed in the mind.  These hypothetical propositions; Instead of producing alternatives to reality, they create new forms of art and blur the line between the real and the virtual, as tools that convince that the artificial universe is real. This study, which is based on the perception of reality by examining written and visual documents, is of importance in terms of questioning the connection of art with reality within the framework of the digital cultural policy that has taken over today's society.
