新媒体艺术变革的政治与美学价值

The Political and Aesthetic Value of New Media Art

当代资本主义政治意识制造了大众文化,推动新媒体艺术从机械复制阶段进展到文化工业阶段,呈现了当代艺术中的商业化危机。新媒体艺术是受后现代艺术思潮影响的创造性活动,具有不断发展的内在诉求,不断打破已有固定模式。新媒体艺术在科技推动下,不断改变原有的生产方式,承担着技术意识形态功能,让艺术不再是少数人才能欣赏的东西。新媒体艺术生产的重要因素是审美意识,审美意识对艺术变革具有重要作用,让新媒体艺术变革呈现着政治与美学价值。艺术作为充满矛盾的政治形式的异托邦的政治美学诉求,体现着对后现代生存境遇的人性关怀,能够促进人们反思社会,推动政治革新,提升人的审美意识。

The political consciousness of contemporary capitalism created a mass culture, advanced the new media art from mechanical reproduction to cultural industry, and exposed the crisis of commercialization in contemporary art. New media art is a creative activity influenced by the postmodern art, with an appeal for constant development and constant subversion of the fixed mode. Motivated by technology, new media art tries to change the mode ofproduction and the elite conception ofart. Aesthetic consciousness is an important factor ofnewmedia art production, endowingthe transformation of new media art with political and aesthetic values. As a political form with inner conflicts, art expresses humanistic thoughts about postmodern context, driving people to reflect on society, promote political innovation, and enhance people's aesthetic consciousness.
