重读“银幕”——兼论银幕与观众关系之变迁

Rereading“Screen”: Also on the Changing Screen-Audience Relationship

面对新媒介,当今的电影处于一种扩展的现状之中。银幕作为电影装置的核心构成,同样面临形态、内涵以及与观众关系的重塑。曾经,影院作为柏拉图的洞穴,银幕成为展示或遮蔽的装置,观众的位置被限定。随着新技术的引入,银幕或成为观众进入镜像世界(AR)和“元宇宙”(VR)神话的入口,回应着早期电影“乔西叔叔”进入“活动影像”的预言。此外,屏幕也逐渐摆脱影院装置,新屏幕正在成为全景监视工具和数据流的集合,并建构着屏幕与观众/受众的新关系。

With the advancement of new media, cinema today is in an“expanding”situation.“Screen”, a core component of film installation, is also reshaping its form, connotation and relationship with the audience.At one time, cinema was regarded as Plato’s cave while screen became a device for display or shielding, which confined the audience’s positions. With the introduction of new technologies, screen may become a portal for the audience to enter the myth of the mirror world(AR) and the meta-universe(VR), echoing the prediction in the early film that“Uncle Josh”will enter the“moving pictures”. In addition, screen is gradually getting away from cinema devices, and the new screen, which is gathering the functions of panoramic monitoring tools and data streams, is constructing a new relationship between the screen and the audience.
