论数码艺术的非物质性

On the Immateriality of Digital Art

从逻辑分析和历史溯源的角度界定非物质性,以阐明数码艺术的非物质性的内涵。认为20世纪60年代所兴起的系统艺术、信息艺术、控制艺术都属于非物质性艺术,具备观念性、过程性与编码性。数码艺术继承了系统艺术、信息艺术和控制艺术的特点,长于在信息平台上流动,以此和依存于特定载体的物质性艺术相区别。非物质性给数码艺术的创作、收藏与流通带来了新的机遇和挑战。

An analysis is made to define immateriality from the perspective of both logical and historic analyses with an objective to clarify the connotation of the immateriality of digital art, and a conclusion is that the rise of the system art, information art, and cybernetics art in the 1960s had the nature of concepts, processes, and coding. Inherited with their characteristics, digital art is good at flowing on the information platform, distinguishing itself from the material art that depends on specific carrier substance. The immateriality has brought new opportunities and challenges for the creation, collections and circulation of arts.
