摘要 本文結合媒體考古學與新物質主義的觀點介入虛擬媒介的討論,提陳一個觀看虛擬媒介作為一種技術美學的新視野。從物質文明發展的歷史進程中,透過梳理科技發展、文化情境與社會網絡關係等面向,探問如何從媒介形構與受眾感知間的體現關係來理解虛擬媒介。在美學辯證的邏輯中,先從媒體考古學的視野勾勒虛擬媒介作為虛擬現象的物質基礎,再探詢由「技術圖像-科技介面-受眾感知」此關係網絡所構築的虛擬現象。本研究認為虛擬圖像仍是以攝影影像作為其基底,並對應於再現空間的感知與認知範疇;於此之中,科技須被視為鏈接機器與人類的介面,在不同歷史情境與文化脈絡中展開其互動性。而虛擬影像中的物質構成和時間屬性不僅改變了身體的運動力,更在與媒介接觸所激發的個人情動與心理成像之整體過程產生回響,並改變人們對虛擬世界的感知和思考模式。最後,本文聚焦於推論新物質主義視野下的虛擬物質化過程,依此理解虛擬美學。
Abstract This study combined media archeology with neomaterialism as the entry point to the discussion of virtual media, thereby proposing a new perspective of viewing virtual media as a type of technical aesthetics. By referencing the evolution of material civilization, this study collated the dimensions of technological development, cultural context, and social network to investigate how virtual media can be understood from the embodied relations between media configuration and audience perception. Following the logic of aesthetic dialectic, this paper outlines the material basis of virtual media as virtual phenomena from the perspective of media archeology, then examines the virtual phenomena arising from the relational trinity of “technical image–technological interface–audience perception.” This study argues that virtual images are still based on photography and correspond to the scopes of perception and cognition of represented spaces in which technology must be viewed as an interface that links machines with humankind and develops its interactivity in varying historical situations and cultural contexts. The material composition and temporal property of virtual images change the motricity of the body, reverberate in the overall process of personal emotion and mental imaging stimulated by contact with media, and alter people’s perception and mode of thinking about the virtual world. Finally, this study infers the process of materialization within the horizons of neomaterialism, according to which the aesthetics of the virtual can be grasped.
