Digitalization changes the forms of communication in our age, as it does in every field. Along with the changing forms of communication, daily life and habits are also changing, and the mass structure is undergoing transformation. Demassification in the field of media, combined with digital and technological developments, has increased the importance of individuals and local small groups in society, who have started to use the media and digital space as a creative and expressive tool. In this context, the concept of "demassification", which includes new cultural forms and structures, the use of these structures in the social sphere, digital universe and identities, digital interaction methods, digital art production forms that are part of the blockchain, and similar topics, has been chosen as the theme for our exhibition.
