Summary/Abstract: With the post-modern society, changing perceptions and lifestyles have also shown themselves in the field of art. This change, which is reflected in the museum-gallery where the works of art are exhibited, has also affected the profiles of the artist, artwork, viewer-participant. Today's art trends, where installation, performance or interactive art applications are rapidly becoming widespread, have become projects that allow this change.

These installations, which center the audience through ceramics, an indispensable part of human life; It is planned as big projects and it is delivered to a large part of the public both one-on-one as well as being able to form a source for new studies to be made in terms of reaching them via social media.
