Abstract:

With the latest developments in digital technology, spaces can be built where the meaning of reality is changed and redesigned with different visions. One of these spaces is called “Augmented Reality (AR)”. This technology, which can already animate flat surfaces via computer systems, attach virtual images in the real space, and add new layers, has also brought a new field of action to the art of painting. It has reconstructed futurism in a broader perspective in painting. After speed and dynamism made their way into every aspect of life at the beginning of the twentieth century as a consequence of mechanization, they became the focus of the art of painting as well, bringing up the movement of futurism into the center of attention. The digital age, on the other hand, subverted the notions of time and space by pushing speed and dynamism beyond the physical limits. Along with augmented reality, the futuristic movement surpassed its physical limitations and began not only to show and evoke dynamism but also to make people experience it. At the point of conjunction where the art of painting meets the technology of AR, motion doesn’t limit itself to image movement but rather, occurs in-between spaces where it is exhibited. In fact, the combination of interaction and interactivity results in a art game where the viewer moves as well. In addition, there has been a journey towards new interdisciplinary contexts with other fields of art and multimedia specific to AR. As a new reality technology, AR plays a role when it comes to the adaptation of futuristic aspects in painting to the present and the future in many respects. As a descriptive quality analysis; this study will provide a general view on futurism in the art of painting, explain the AR technology, describe the use of AR in painting with examples, and discuss its place within the context of futurism.
