    Dismantling the self : exploring the infinite becomings in Orlan's body of work
    (2010) Baykan, Burcu
    This study is an attempt to elaborate the significance of multimedia and performance artist Orlan’s body and identity altering practices along the lines of Deleuzian theory, and to explore the points of overlap and resonances between their projects. It focuses on a range of conceptual resources, primarily Deleuze's formulations together with Guattari on ‘becoming’ to explore the artist’s fluid states of being that are always in the process of transition and her body’s constantly changing nature as a transformative experience. It also includes their theories of ‘rhizome’, ‘machinic assemblages’ and ‘body without organs’ to provide insights into her work as a form of expanded art practice that enables proliferating connections and collective arrangements, as well as to characterize it as a non-dualistic process that is no longer contingent on binary divisions.

    Experimental video art : on the borders between theory and practice
    (2011) Tepehan, Neslihan
    The aim of this thesis is to explore the new image and thought in reference to philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Thus, his discussions on art and cinema are studied thoroughly. The revelation of affects, percepts and sensations in art constitutes the important amount of this thesis. In reference to that the revelation of movementimage and time-image in cinema explored, in order to understand the identity of the image in different art forms. Finally in the light of these explorations on image, experimental video art is discussed in individual works, in the hope of discovering borders between theory and practice aside the discovery of the possibilities this new image can offer to thought. These discussions on cinema and experimental video art enlighten not only concepts of cinema and video, but also alter their relation with other practices and theories.
