Abstract

This work shows that What is augmented reality? What are its' contributions to digital art? And How are the reflections on environmental factors? Everything in a dynamic environment is affected by all kinds of developments and changes. This century is the information era and technological innovations and changes in informatics influenced art. The technology that artists who could not remain indifferent to these developments and innovations brought to their work led to the acquisition of new identities of art and structural and visual changes. So art has moved to an unimaginable point without technology. The type of art we call digital art or computerized art has emerged and augmented reality; an interactive experience for art lovers. Computer-generated software enriched the real world with the addition of multimedia objects such as images, audio, video, animation, 3D models simultaneously on to real image with the camera, i.e. the combination of real-world and virtual images it makes you look like. Augmented reality applications provide information about a real-world place and enable exploring learning while contributing to the city's visual identity.

Abstract

Mersin was established in the 19th century and maintains its existence as a city that holds many cultures together. While being established as an industrial city, it could not overcome the risks it brought with it. Air pollution, threatening human health with excessive pollution, and the relocation of people from nearby villages, whose hopes from agriculture have been discouraged, to the city in the hope of work and education determined the fate of Mersin in terms of migration. Settlement in the outlying neighborhoods led to the establishment of unplanned neighborhoods, meanwhile also led to the establishment of culturally large villages. In addition, immigration from the Southeast due to terror caused the formation of other unplanned villages. Later, the Syrian war offered Mersin an unlucky future.

Distorted urbanization and excessive migration have changed the city's physical and artistic stance negatively. Mersin, which has poor infrastructure, is unable to overcome all these negativities and local administrators find it difficult to respond to their needs while evaluating this gap. Due to economic difficulties, scrap and garbage mafia cause all kinds of common crimes in the city, while traffic problems are turning the city into a theft and drug market. Although Culture and Art is a tool for the development of good emotions and creative emotions and even as a method of treatment, it is difficult to show sufficient quality and quantity due to the lack of support.

Apart from the Archaeological Museum and the Maritime Museum, it is almost impossible to see our history or art exhibition. It has become a city where the wrong development strategy is driven and artistic developments are almost stopped. Today, we are faced with a society that is covered by the concern of communication created by the constantly expanding gap between the information that is understood and should be understood. This causes chaos in the city. Attempting to identify the underlying order of irregular phenomena, people, clusters of people, culture, society, all become irresistible with this distorted urbanization as chaotic phenomena. In this case, it is necessary to present an alternative paradigm which tries to conceptualize the phenomenon of communication with regularities and challenges this process with simple models in order to determine the tendency of the public on a certain subject in search of new paradigms.
