趙士禮多媒體作品發表會 含輔助文件 《瀏覽無界-你, 窺視》：原創作品與註釋

Abstract

結合數位科技之多媒體互動劇場在近代表演藝術領域已有相當發展。1965年一個最早的多媒體互動舞蹈作品“variations V”出現，由比利•庫律維（Billy Kluver )與約翰•凱吉（John．Cage)及摩斯．康寧漢（Merce Cunningham）共同創作，直到當代Chunky Move的“ Mortal Engine ”及K. Obermaier的“ Apparition ”等都運用數位科技，將舞台表演知新形態做了突破性的詮釋。

本作品“瀏覽無界-你, 窺視”結合音樂、影像與舞台裝置，並融入劇場元素鋪陳，探討原本以開放性資訊為宗旨的網路資訊瀏覽，在現今強調訊息接收界面的個人化及社群媒體的普及，個體所接受的資訊往往在日常可被追蹤的搜尋偏好中被初步智慧化的資訊媒體自動定位，造成個人喜愛資訊類型偏好及其他資訊接收管道的限制；以方便性為前提所設計的個人化瀏覽界面在許多方面已讓個人接收的網路資訊有所偏頗。

有鑒於此，以『瀏覽無界』為此多媒體劇場的表現目標，以人所活動的空間（包括表演者和觀眾）象徵總體網路架構，加上表演者和其他媒體的互動，都象徵在資訊結構裡彼此溝通交流的行為。在演出過程中將會劃分四大段闡述「人」與「訊息獲得」間的主從關係，並以「多面向的訊息接收取代單一個人化偏好訊息接收」作為主要的觀念傳達。

本論文共分五個章節，第一章節為緒論，第二章節講述創作動機、概念與背景，第三章詳述作品及舞台編制、段落架構設計及各個媒體在各段落間之互動關係。第四章分別就音樂、影像、舞台裝置設計三個運用媒體細述設計運用。第五章為本論文之結語。

Interactive Multimedia Theatre plays an important role in contemporary performing art. The now known earliest interactive multimedia dance theatre piece “variations V”(1950), was composed by J. Cage. Later, the “Mortal Engine” created by Chunky Move and “Apparition” by K. Obermaier, both using digital technologies, took the definition of stage performance to a whole new level.

“UltraSurfing” is a multimedia interactive musical theatre piece scored for vocal, electronic music, video projection and stage installation. While browsing the Internet, there are different methods on how to search, each giving a different process. In terms of process, one of the two main points is “Personalization Searching Interface”; the other is “Social Community Group”. When people search for information that interests them on the Internet, the search engine will sort the search result automatically according to the search preference set. When searching, the Internet launches an algorithm that filters information irrelevant to the users’ preferences. The algorithm makes information searching more convenient and efficient. On the contrary, they narrow the search range and neglect unimportant information.

“UltraSurfing” presents the view of efficiently searching for information and no limitation on searched results without the “Algorithmic transformation. The performance stage and the auditoria are analogous to the cyberspace of “world wide web (WWW)”; the interaction between performer and other media symbolizes the relationship of human being and Internet. “UltraSurfing” consists four parts, which introduce different processes and transformations of “web search engine” as well as the algorithmic effect on searching action. The main concept emphasizes the view of fair treatment within web search.

This paper consists of 5 chapters. Chapter 1 gives the preface. Chapter 2 presents the compositional incentives, conception and background. Chapter 3 covers the compositional form and design of each section and structure, including the relationship of each medium. Chapter 4 is a detailed analysis of music, video projection and stage installation. Chapter 5 will bring this paper to a full conclusion.
