后现代图像景观中的超空间——城市智能视频监控的空间哲学反思

Hyperspace in Postmodern Spectacle of Image:A Critique on the Space Philosophy of Urban Intelligent Surveillance

人工智能在安防行业得到广泛的应用。智能视频监控将数据转换成屏幕图像,这些后现代的图像景观将日常生活卷入“图像过程”之中,形成了日常生活的精确摹本和再现,后现代超空间由此形成。尤其在资本主义社会里,超空间使人与周围环境发生严重断裂,后现代躯体丧失了空间坐标和空间审美感知能力,构成对生活真实的遮蔽,并导致主体专业技能退化;在美学层面上,超空间导致了空间意义的祛魅和世俗化,造成空间生活诗意的失落;对隐私空间的侵犯和对精神空间的“污染”,亦是超空间带来的负面影响。对此,可以分别从理论和实践层面探寻解决路径。

Artificial intelligence has been widely used in the security industry. Intelligent video surveillance converts data into images on the screen. These postmodern spectacles of images involve daily life in the “image process”, forming an accurate copy and representation of daily life. As a result, a postmodern hyperspace is created. Such a hyperspace, particularly in the capitalist society, produces a split between human beings and their surroundings. The postmodern body thus loses the sensibility of space coordinate and aesthetics, which veils the real in life and causes the degradation of subjects’ professional skills. In aesthetic terms, hyperspace leads to the disenchantment and secularization of the meaning of space as well as the loss of the poetic in space life. The invasion into the private space and the “pollution” of the spiritual space are also negative impacts that are brought by hyperspace. Theoretical and practical solutions to these problems are indeed worth exploring.
