This study deals with the new aesthetic experience process that emerged with the audience's participation in contemporary art practices, which have turned into an interdisciplinary experimental field with new materials and expression ways since the second half of the 20th century. In this context, it is aimed to reveal the role of the game as a fun and interactive experience process and the relationship between the artist, the participant, and the artwork, which is effective in the formation of the process. For this purpose, the "spectator" who participates in contemporary art practices through play was redefined as a participant and examined in terms of the relationship between game theory and relational aesthetics. In this context, the role of play in contemporary art practices has been investigated using Huizinga's "Homo Ludens" and Bourriaud's "Relational Aesthetics" theories.Rather than a simple field of childhood and imagination, the study game was carried out from a cultural formation that builds life.Within the framework of this approach, the audience, which is involved in contemporary art practices with the play, has been repositioned in the space, and accordingly, a new understanding of representation has emerged. The aesthetic experience that emerged from the play was attempted to be questioned through five different works of art, depending on the new understanding of representation.
