Üretken Sanatta Müzikal Sistemlerin Kullanımı

Öz

Üretken sanat sanatçının oluşturduğu kurallar çerçevesinde kendi kendine kararlar alabilen bir otonom sistemi içeren sanatsal üretim yöntemidir. Bu alanda ortaya konulan eserler hem sayısal hem de sayısal olmayan (dinamik ve mekanik sistemler gibi) çok çeşitli teknikler ile kurgulanabilmektedir. Günümüz teknolojisinde gelinen son noktada ağırlıklı olarak bilgisayarlar ve kodlama yöntemiyle oluşturulan algoritmalar kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen tasarımlar ile üretken sanatın erken döneminde geliştirilen müzikal sistemler prensip olarak benzer temellere dayanmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada üretken sanat alanında ortaya konulan erken dönem ve son dönem müzikal sistemler incelenmekte ve üretken sanatın tanımlanmasında geçerli olan ölçütlerin müzikal anlamda karşılıklarının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmanın giriş kısmında üretken sanat ve üretken sanatı ortaya koyan parametreler tanımlanmış ilerleyen bölümlerde farklı müzikal sistemlerin çalışma prensipleri irdelenerek otonom sistem kavramına getirdikleri özgün yaklaşımlar incelenmiştir.

Use of Musical Systems in Generative Art

Abstract

Generative art is an artistic production method that includes an autonomous system that can make decisions on its own within the framework of the rules created by the artist. The works produced in this field can be constructed with a wide variety of techniques, both digital and non-digital (such as dynamic and mechanical systems). At the last point reached in today's technology, designs produced by using computers and algorithmic coding and musical systems developed in the early period of generative art are based on similar foundations in principle. In this study, the early and late period musical systems in the field of generative art are examined and it is aimed to determine the musical equivalents of the criteria that are valid in the definition of generative art. In the introduction part of the study, generative art and the parameters that reveal generative art are defined, and in the following sections, the working principles of different musical systems are examined and their approaches to the concept of autonomous system are examined.
