TY - JOUR T1 - The Adaptation of Digital Art Installatıons to the Space in the Case of the Tophane-İ Amire Building TT - Tophane-İ Amire Binası Örneğinde Dijital Sanat Enstalasyonlarının Mekâna Adaptasyonu AU - Aytar Sever, İldem PY - 2026 DA - July Y2 - 2026 DO - 10.30785/mbud.1884708 JF - Journal of Architectural Sciences and Applications JO - MBUD PB - Süleyman Demirel University WT - DergiPark SN - 2548-0170 SP - 136 EP - 147 VL - 11 IS - 1 LA - en AB - This study explores the symbiotic relationship between digital art installations and historical sites, focusing on the adaptation processes within heritage environments. Using the Tophane-i Amire building as a primary case study and the Hâne exhibition as a practical reference, the research employs descriptive analysis grounded in Lisa Moran’s holistic installation framework. The findings suggest that digital artworks transcend their status as physical objects, evolving into dynamic processes that redefine the spatial narrative. By applying Moran’s concepts of passive-active change and still-moving relationships, the study demonstrates how digital interventions reshape the perception of historical space. Ultimately, the research confirms that architectural design serves as a core actor in this transformation. Therefore, it is argued that design integration must be considered an intrinsic part of the creative process from the outset when implementing digital art within historic contexts.

Tophane-i Amire binasını örneklem, Hâne sergisini ise uygulama alanı olarak ele alan bu calısma betimsel analiz yöntemini Lisa Moran’ın bütüncül enstalasyon teorik çerçevesi üzerinden kurgulamaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, dijital sanat yapıtlarının fiziksel birer nesne olmanın ötesine geçerek mekanı yeniden tanımlayan dinamik birer sürece dönüştüğünü göstermektedir. Moran’ın pasif-aktif değişim ve durağan-hareketli ilişkisi kavramları aracılığıyla, dijital müdahalelerin tarihi mekan algısını nasıl şekillendirdiği ortaya konmaktadır. Sonuç olarak çalışma, mimari tasarımın bu süreçte etkin bir aktör olduğunu doğrulamakta; tarihi çevrelerdeki dijital sanat uygulamalarında tasarımın, yaratıcı sürecin en başından itibaren sürece dahil edilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
