新媒体艺术的现代性审美维度

Modern Aesthetic Dimension of New Media Art

现代性毫无疑问是我们这个时代最重要的焦点性话题之一。在众多艺术门类中,20世纪末诞生的新媒体艺术通过对各种传统艺术所进行的美学观念的改造,确立了自己现代性的美学方法和原则,形成了新媒体艺术的现代性审美维度。新媒体艺术的现代性审美维度主要体现在其突显的精神性维度和制度性维度这两个方面,而在这两个维度中又分别包含有机联系的若干个重要维度。在精神性维度中,新媒体艺术又包含了人的主体性的立体维度、解放维度、体验维度;在制度性维度中包含公共领域的自律化维度和公共权力的民主化和契约化维度。新媒体艺术审美现代性的内在维度分析,对于我们理解新媒体艺术在当代的复杂命运具有十分重要的意义。

Modernism is no doubt one of the most important hot topics of our time. Among numerous art categories, new media art, born at the end of the 20th century, has, by reforming aesthetic concepts of all kinds of traditional arts, established its modern aesthetic method and principle and formed its modern aesthetic dimension. The modern aesthetic dimension has shown itself mainly with its two outstanding branch dimensions： spirit dimension and system dimension. The two branch dimensions, furthermore, contains a number of important and closely-related sub-dimensions. The spirit dimension includes man-centered stereoscopic dimension, liberty dimension and experience dimension while the system dimension consists of self-dlscipline dimension, dimensions of democracy and charter of public power in public-related areas. Analysis of inner dimensions in the new media art＇ s aesthetic modernism has a great significance to our understanding of the new media art＇s complicated fate in modern times.
