运动图像的操作化:对触屏视频流装置及其姿势现象的考古

The operated moving of images: a media-archaeological analysis on the touch-screen streaming-video apparatus and its gestural symptom

本文将智能手机触屏硬件和应用软件所实现的视频流,视为一种参与造就了"后"感知模式危机及转型的计算机媒介问题,并在媒介考古学和姿势现象学的框架内为"刷视频"这种新的观看症状提供一种理解路径。为了说明触控图像机具的媒介特性,文章考察了数字触屏装置与"前电影"光学装置、经典电影装置的关系,分析了"刷视频"姿势的动作模态和标准意图,并追溯了触控技术的历史。触屏视频流的视觉生产基于硬件和软件的可供性与手部智能的互动关系,这种触控图像是一种基于身体连续性的操作图像,彰显了信息表面与屏幕边框之间的冲突。

The paper examines the streaming video that are realized by the smartphone touchscreen as a problematic of computer media,which participate to generate the"post-"status that characterizes the perceptual crisis and transformation.It orients to provide a mediaarchaeological and gesture-phenomenological understanding on the new viewing experience that is symptomized by the"video brushing"gesture.To illustrate the medium specificity of the touch-controlled image apparatus,the paper explores connections of the digital touchscreen dispositif with the"pre-cinema"optical dispositif and that with the classical-cinema dispositif;it also interprets the specific modalities of the"video brushing"gesture,and reviews the underlying histories of touch-controlled technologies.It argues that the visual production of the touchscreen streaming videos depends on the interplay of the hardware-and software-affordance of and the hand intelligence;touchscreen images are characterized by the operativeness basing on the corporeal continuity,and they manifest the clash between the endless information-surface and the limited screen-frame.
