科幻影视对新媒体的展望与批判

The Outlook and Criticism of Science Fiction Film for New Media

作为以创意的科幻性、载体的影像性为特征的艺术类型,科幻影视对新媒体的审视具备前瞻性,因而成为我们认识当今新媒体发展趋势的重要参考系。根据科幻影视的描写,未来新媒体开拓进取的途径集中在身体新功能的开发、网络新应用的拓展、装置新特性的构思等方面;新媒体起作用的范围将从地表通信扩展到星际通信,从媒介通信扩展到脑际通信,从同维通信扩展到维际通信。在肯定新媒体服务社会、造福人类的重要性的同时,科幻影视也预言了新媒体走火入魔的可能性,这是通过对媒体世界化、现实化与灾难化的描写展现的。

As an artistic type characteristic of creative science fiction and image of a carrier,science fiction film is forward-looking in examining the new media,thus becoming an important frame of reference for us to know the current trend of media development.As depicted in science fiction film,the approaches of future new media to forging ahead are concentrated upon the development of new function of the human body,expansion of new web applications as well as the conception of a device new features;the scope of the media's functions will extend from terrestrial communications to interstellar communications,from medium communications to mind communications and from dimensional communications to inter-dimensional communications.While affirming the importance of new media in serving the society and benefiting the mankind,science fiction film also predicts the possibility of new media going too far,which is revealed in its description of media as globalized,actualized and catastrophized.
