Abstract
Concept based Design-Art is a flow formed while focusing on works not dividing boundaries with concept on top in a transition to content-centered communication methods from medium-centered communication methods so far dividing design genres. This movement begins in a try to create upper-level concepts before works and products come into being in pure art and design respectively. This thesis draws out the definition of Concept based Design-Art through its researches, diagnoses directionality of Concept based Design-Art by analyzing Concept based Design-Artists' works and considers their social duties and roles. Outcome of this study will help working authors, designers, and Design-Artists grasp the changing phases of design and art, establish their own directionality, and predict how the Concept based Design-Art market will change in the years ahead. Besides, it will be a good reference by which for them to build their own 'concept,' consider their relationship to the society and check where they are.
