網路藝術中的接受美學與藝術實踐

Abstract

此研究將藉由分析網路藝術的特質與其環境發展，來研究網路藝術對社會的影響及兩者間的互動，並探討其批判的和美學的經驗建構。網路藝術的創造與接受涉及了創作者與觀者在互動過程中的認同和美學經驗形塑，其獨特的開放式互動、集體共構的特質更有異於其他數位互動藝術之經驗，因此，網路藝術中觀者的經驗創造、美學建構有必要具體地在藝術體系中被正視及討論。本計畫首先將以姚斯的接受美學理論來詮釋欣賞者的美學經驗，以及網路藝術實踐活動與社會場域兩者間的互動，接著論述網路藝術作品如何影響當代藝術實踐的再生產，例如階級、種族與政治等等文化議題。之後，再進一步探討網路藝術中批判的和美學的經驗建構，而這些基本的關懷與探討，構成了本研究計畫進行的實際架構。

This research will focus on the following three aspects of Net Art: (1) the analysis of the characteristics of Net Art and its development, (2) the interaction between Net Art and the society, (3) the configuration of critical and aesthetic experiences of Net Art community. The identity shaping of artist and the audience, and the formation of aesthetic experiences in the interactive process are related to the creation and acceptance of Net Art. Its uniqueness of open interaction and collective configuration are distinctively different from the experiences given by digital interactive art. Therefore, the experiential creation and the configuration of aesthetic experiences of the viewer are important enough for study. In this research, theory of “Reception Aesthetics” by Jauss will be used to provide the researcher a perspective to interpret aesthetic experiences of the viewer and examine the social interaction via the internet. Then, discussions will include how the Net Art response to contemporary topics, such as class, race, politics cultural issues, and how Net Art has affected the reproduction of contemporary art practice. The concerns and explorations evolved from NET Art constitute the structure of this research.
