However, the digital revolution has also radically influenced the conservation processes surrounding art, including archiving, preserving, and remembering. This paper explores the conservation of digital （or ＂variable media＂） artworks for the future benefit of culture, with particular reference to creators and viewers of art, as well as participants in interactive artworks. More specifically, this paper focuses on the philosophical and technical approaches adopted by creators, conservators, and philosophers involved in the preservation of variable media artworks. Issues of programming, interoperability between archival systems, and enhanced public access increasingly inform the design of digital archives. Indeed, the continuously shifting technological landscape-marked by the centrality of digital technologies to everyday life-problematizes the preservation of digital art through mainstream museological paradigms. Part of this analysis of digital art conservation will be drawn from the archival philosophies of Boris Groys and Rick Prelinger.展开更多

Gustav Klimt interprets this motif in a very personal manner, which throws a totally different light on the status of the knight than traditional interpretations. The aim of this paper is to indicate and analyze the very features that make Klimt＇s knight different from that established through the historic, literary, and artistic canons and reveal it as closer to Nietzsche＇s modern man--afflicted by the malady that the philosopher diagnoses and whose symptoms he describes as follows： A weakened personality, and the absence of a strong will, associated with the specific age and culture.展开更多

With its unique hypothetical language as the human spirit and emotional material carrier, animation art passes various social messages to people. The value of animation art lies in the certain form of expression to convey characteristics of the content and spirit, which is the core issues that Chinese animation industry worthy of attention and research. Animation art as a cultural transmission symbols, bears culture spreading. The combination of cultural heritage and the new animation language means is an important way for animation art to direct towards the life of road.
