디지털 영상정보환경에 의한 감각기능의 확장과 예술표현

Abstract

본 논문에서는 정보이론 측면에서 인간=기계시스템에 대해서 논하였다. 즉 20세기 후반의 과학기술이 인간이 신체기능을 변용 시켜, 그것이 영상 예술표현에 어떻게 적용되었는가를 연구하였다.

특히 전자영상예술의 조형성을 신체감각의 확장이라는 관계에 대해 논하였다. 즉 영상테크놀러지에 의한 정보전달기능의 확대가 인간의 시각적 한계를 초월, 비 시각적인 인식으로 확대되어진 경우 어느 정도 예술형식이 가능한가라고 하는 문제와 함께 또 그 예술양식이 인간의 의식을 어떻게 변화하여 왔는지를 연구하였다.

현 시점에서 테크놀러지에 의한 신체확장은 육체확장과 정신확장으로 전개되어가고 있으며 그 예로 물질=인공현실(AL), 정신의 확장=가상현실(VR)이라는 가설을 설정 논증하였다. 또 디지털 영상정보환경에 의해 전개되고 있는 인터럭티브·미디어·아트의 특성은 자율성을 갖는 의식확장예술이라는 것을 명확히 하였다.

This provides the deals with 'human = machine system' from the perspective of information theory. It is discussed how the science and technology in the late 20th century has transformed the human body function and how it has been applied in the expression of art. Especially, the artistic expression of electronic image art is discussed in the line of the expansion of the bodily senses. Two questions are raised and examined. One is to what degree the art form is possible when the expansion of information transmission function by image technology is interpreted as non-visual recognition. The other is how the art form has transformed the human consciousness. Under the hypothesis that the expansion of the body through technology is materiality as the expansion of the body (=Artificial Reality) and non-materiality as the expansion of the spirit (=Virtual Reality), image expressions that possess multi-directionalcharacteristics are analyzed in order to prove the hypothesis. It is clearly shown that they are the art of consciousness expansion
