Abstract
This article entitled ‘All that is solid is being digitised’ will discuss on the basis of the field of art in the uncertainty, insecurity and unsafety context of the post-truth period and the dynamics which make it exist. Today all that is solid is being digitised. We are living in the post-digital period in which the experiences in the digital world complement the experiences in real life and the borders in-between are blurred and create a new meaning. In Baudrillard’s (2011) words, we are somewhere beyond the hyper-reality where fiction is more real than the reality. In some place where everyone distorts everything according to herself/himself and determine her/his own reality, in a place which is uncertain, insecure and unsafe. In such a world, Art needs to make a choice, now. It will either redefine its sphere of freedom, or it will adapt to the system by being drawn into the wheels, the whirlpool of the post-truth world.
Keywords: Post-truth, post-modern, post-humanism, post-digital, truth, virtual, millennials (Generation Y), freedom.
