Abstract

The unthinkable things prompt us to think and determine the boundaries of the thought. Thinking will play its role in the best way when it has the power to face all kinds of new concepts and images in its time without any effort to search for a specific or predetermined method to understand or order the world. Technology and art, with all their power and speed of transformation, have provided this possibility to humankind through various ways and tools. In art, we face affection in its purest form, which seeks to create new ways of thinking and influencing. Also, nowadays, various technological possibilities can help us think better, and by showing the repeatability of functions and thoughts, we can face the repetition of mechanisms differences and provide a basis for creating new techniques to help humankind. Therefore, as a meeting place of technology, art, and thought, cinema can offer many possibilities to represent modern thinking and its accompanying issues. The issue discussed in this article is the way of creating new concepts and analyzing them through cinema in the context of art technology, and always looking at the existence and impact of two concepts, namely transformation and unthinkable affairs. With research related to these fields, Deleuze considers cinema to be one of the most efficient methods to create and understand concepts in today's world and emphasizes its ability to create new possibilities and ideas. This article, to measure the limits of the action power of the art of cinema about the modern way of thinking and its technological tools, seeks to answer these questions in the framework of the theoretical current of humanism and whether it is possible to create from the perspective of creation. Could we take the cinema director as a philosopher? Or is a cinematic work dealing with a new issue or issues as reliable as a philosophical work or concept created with its argumentative method? And finally, to what extent is knowledge of today's technology necessary for thinking in our contemporary world? In this descriptive-analytical research, the latest available library and internet tools have been used.
