Görünenin Ötesi: Sanatta X-ışını Estetiği.

X-rays have a wide range of applications due to their ability to visualise the internal structure of bodies and objects. As well as diagnosing many medical conditions such as bones, internal organs and teeth, it is used in industry for quality control and materials testing, and for security checks in places such as airports and shopping centres. In addition, in the field of art, some artists offer innovative approaches with technological preferences such as X-rays for aesthetic expression. The use of X-rays in art is realised in two ways. Firstly, it is used for purposes such as dating by penetrating to the lower layers of artworks, determining the origin, originality and possible damage in the work, and determining the materials used. Secondly, X-rays are used directly for visual expression, allowing the final image to emerge. This research focuses on the use of Xrays in the field of art and is based on literature review on the subject. The aim of the research is to examine the role and impact of X-rays in the field of art and to analyse innovations in this field in the context of the relationship between art and technology. X-rays, and with them the curiosity about what lies behind the visible, allow for interaction between radiologists and artists working in different disciplines. The research findings indicate that among radiologists, there are those who use X-rays not only for medical diagnosis and treatment but also for various purposes such as taking artistic photographs. On the other hand, some artists use the technical characteristics of X-rays to focus on the aesthetic qualities, composition and tonal values of radiological images, as well as their symbolic, conceptual or emotional meaning.
