| For centuries, artworks belonged to determinate
spheres of art media like painting
or sculpture which have had their own
boundaries and laws. But after 1960s, the
boundaries between media and also in
general between art and non-art have been
disappeared. By the increasing possibility
of an ordinary object to be an art object,
the meaning of media started to change. In
60s, the origin of artwork was not in its object
but the origin was searched in everyone’s
experience. The object, just by being
in field of perception, could make
possible aesthetic perception. When every
day perception and the experience find the
main role in art of post-modernism, the
theory of French phenomenologist Maurice
Merleau-Ponty will give us possibilities
to take an accurate look in these changes
in art. In this article, his ideas of
embodied perception and the correlation
of sensations, and also the relation of them
with new media are studied. |
