“赛博格”与“元宇宙”:虚拟现实语境下的“身体存在”问题

″Cyborg″ and ″Metaverse″: Issues of ″Body Existence″ in the Context of Virtual Reality

作为后人类文化关键词,“赛博格”与“元宇宙”分别指出了未来人类身体和互联网演化的方向。下一代互联网技术将逐步沟通起“虚拟”与“现实”这两个“身体存在”的场域。“虚拟现实”空间的建设让“身体存在”问题出现新的变化,身体存在的场域不再局限于现实世界,还延伸到了基于人工智能和移动互联网的“虚拟现实”领域。技术的发展正在深度介入人类社会的演化进程,信息技术为人类开拓出了新的体验路径,深刻影响着包括美学在内的诸多学科的未来走向。

As the key words of post-human culture, ″Cyborg″ and ″Metaverse″ respectively point out the future direction of human body evolution and Internet evolution. The next generation of Internet technology will gradually communicate the two fields of ″physical existence″ for ″virtual″ and ″reality″. The construction of virtual reality space brings new changes to the issue of ″body existence″. The field of body existence is no longer limited to the real world, but also extends to the field of ″virtual reality″ supported by the artificial intelligence and mobile Internet. The development of technology is deeply involved in the evolution of the human society, and the virtual field has opened a new experience path for the human beings, which profoundly affects the future trend of many disciplines including aesthetics.
