影像媒介的本性——论影像艺术价值的一种标准

The Nature of Image Media:One Criterion on the Image Artistic Value

20世纪以来,对艺术媒介属性的探讨日显重要——在身份区别的意义上,媒介属性成为界定各门艺术本性的关键。克拉考尔、本雅明、爱浦斯坦、德勒兹等理论家有着对摄影和电影等影像艺术媒介本性的充分认识,他们在影像、自然、运动、感知等范畴之间建立起其本质的关联。影像使自然现实以绵延的、未改动的面目复现,更以一种揭示力将封闭于其中的隐秘形式打开;影像提供了人们与日常生活无限接近的感知形式,甚至以对对象的充分揭示带来无限深邃的感知、意识与精神的世界。这是影像媒介的本性,即影像-自然-感知的统一。这种认识,提供了影像艺术价值判断的一种标准,即是否充分发挥了影像-自然-感知的影像媒介本性,是否充分呈现、揭示了自然现实的丰富性,进而扩展了人的感知与精神世界。

The discussion on the characteristics of artistic media has been increasing since the 20th century.In the sense of the meaning of identity,the character of media becomes the key to define the nature of differ?ent arts.Theorists such as Krakauer,Benjamin,Epstein and Deleuze have profound understanding of the nature of image artistic media including photography and film,so that they are able to establish essential re?lations among image,nature,sport and perception.Natural reality can re-appear in a continuous and un?changed manner through image which can then open the hidden forms inside the natural reality with its re?vealing force.Image provides the sensible form which is infinitely close to the everyday life and even pro?vides the infinite world of sense,consciousness and spirit through the revealing of the subjects.The unity of image,nature and perception is the nature of image media.This understanding provides a criterion to judge the image artistic's value,meaning whether or not the nature of the image media of image-nature-percep?tion is fully exerted,whether or not the richness of natural reality is revealed and presented,so as to expand?ed human's sense and spiritual world.
