当代表演主体的媒介化嬗变

The Mediating Evolution of the Contemporary Performing Subject

身体作为表演艺术的主体,在走向当代的进程中借由两种方式彰显自身的物质属性并活跃于舞台之上:一种是通过血肉之躯的痛楚强烈昭示着身体的当下存在并带动观众进入共振;另一种是不断通过物质技术媒介增强自身并呈现一种抗衡博弈的姿态。在这个进程中,随着媒介的智能化,刚抽身于“角色”的物质身体又有隐匿于媒介之后而不显的风险。在当代表演艺术的发展进程中,身体作为表演的主体,其地位正面临媒介的“侵占”。

As the subject of performing arts, in the contemporary era human body has been active on stage in a twofold manifestation of its physical presence. The first demonstrates the present existence of the body and resonates with the audience into resonance by revealing pain and madness in flesh and blood. The second is constantly self-enhancing through material and technological media and presents itself in a game-like manner. In this process, with the intelligentization of the media, the material body has withdrawn from its given “role” and faces the risk of becoming hidden behind the media. In the development of contemporary performing arts, the body, the subject of performance, faces “occupation” by the media.
