Art and Media in the Post-Truth Era

Problem statement:

 Post-truth was the Oxford English Dictionary Association’s 2016 Word of the Year. In the post-truth era of 2016, the gap between reality and truth began to form a space of substitution with facts. Art in this space is another output that, as the development of an all-round visual medium evoking an immediate or credible experience beyond the boundaries of representation, enters the political game and serves the audience with alternative truths to understand the truths beyond the bounds of tradition.

What is the nature of the post-truth? And how does artwork in this post-truth world? This research aims to understand the nature of the post-truth era and investigate the performance of art in light of the complex nature of the post-truth era.

The research method is qualitative and descriptive-analytical. Data collection tools include observation and new scanning tools.

The results show that art has become a critical issue in the post-truth era. The art arena focuses on spatial relationships that put the audience at the center of a sensory game and becomes an idea that explores the dynamics of immersion in alternative facts. Immersion is timeless; this timelessness is a refinement of traditional boundaries between the audience, the media, and the artist’s personality.
