This thesis is an investigation on the changing concept of space and its
production, through a reconsideration of montage in the digital
environment. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, collage and
montage have been one of the key terms that lead the movements of art
and architecture. Towards the end of the 80s, however, as a result of the
introduction of the digital environment, the quality and quantity of methods
of production and transfer of knowledge have increased and the flow of
information has gained a noticeable importance. Through recent
developments, the digital environment offers many opportunities for
representation in architectural field as well as other professions.
Montage, which is a technique for construction of a new meaning or entity
throughout its history, now changes its character with the infinitely many
opportunities digital environment proposes as well. Therefore, this thesis
tries to examine the changing scope and formulation of montage in this
specific environment through the example of digital compositing which is a
recent design and production technique used in the field of photography
and cinema.
Digital compositing provides layering, editing and merging numerous
elements in one frame. Through its inherent potential of decomposing time
and juxtaposing different modes of realities, the concept of space and
production and visualization techniques in the digital medium change also
affecting the roles of the designer and the user in the process. Thus, this
new formulation brings forward a new understanding of design process
that acts as an interface both spatially and temporally.
