人类世的身体:当代艺术中的身体转向

Body in the Anthropocene:The Turn to the Body in Contemporary Art

人类世的显著特征是在“人类能动性”视野下,后工业时代技术发展对地球产生的不可逆转之影响,以及“身体”与“社会”在“归化”和“社会关系重塑”的双重变化之间再次交替。在此影响下,身体的边界不断扩展,身体正在转变为一个与技术、文化和社会交织的物质网络,这一特征引发了身体在当代艺术中的转向,即身体—环境、身体—技术,以及物质—话语三个主要向度,这三个向度同时触及了身体的重新定义对当代艺术创造性发展的拓展之维,以及身体政治的有效性对未来艺术发展的引导之维,它们共同为当代艺术的未来发展打开了新的面向。

A notable feature of the Anthropocene is the irreversible impact of post-industrial technological advancements on Earth,viewed through the lens of"human agency",This era marks a recurrent interchange between"body"and"society",amidst the dual transformation of"naturalization"and"restruction of social relations".Influenced by these changes,the boundaries of the body are continually expanding,transforming the body into a matter network interwoven with technology,culture,and society.This transformation has prompted a pivotal shift in contemporary art concerning the body,characterized by three main dimensions:Body-Environment,Body-Technology,and Matter-Discourse.These dimensions not only touch upon the redefinition of the body,expanding the creative development of contemporary art,but also emphasize the effectiveness of body politics in guiding the future of artistic evolution.Together,they open new perspectives for the future development of contemporary art.
