在场数字化:虚拟现实视域下的戏剧数字化路径

Digitalization of Presence:Digital Pathways of Theatre in the Context of Virtual Reality

相较于其他艺术形式,戏剧艺术因其对“在场性”的要求长期以来难以找到令人信服的数字化表达。而随着虚拟现实技术的崛起,戏剧艺术迎来了全新的发展可能。虚拟现实的沉浸特性让戏剧的“在场”能够以数字化的姿态存在,从而推动戏剧艺术快速跟上时代节奏,演变出“虚拟环境戏剧”这一数字化表现形式,其成果丰富,传播高效。此外,虚拟现实的交互特性也将继续发展戏剧艺术的存在形式,应运而生的“赛博戏剧”作为未来戏剧的一种表现形态从技术维度拓宽了它的边界。

Compared to other art forms,theatre art has long struggled to find a convincing digital expression due to its inherent demand for“presence”.However,with the rise of virtual reality technology,theatre is encountering new possibilities for development.The immersive nature of virtual reality allows the“presence”of theatre to exist in a digital form,enabling the art to quickly adapt to the rhythm of the times and evolve into a digital form known as“virtual environment theatre”,which has produced abundant results and efficient dissemination.Furthermore,the interactive nature of virtual reality will continue to develop the forms of theatre art,with the emerging“cyber theatre”broadening its boundaries from a technological perspective as a future theatrical form.
