| Popis: | 107 The body is the most basic platform from which to construct the definition of “Who I Am”. Without the body, there is no me; without me, there would be no cognition or feeling of the world. However, due to the tendency for people to be visually dominant, people desperately present “Who I Am” to the outside world in a way that relies on superficial clues. They lean on specific ways to strengthen their identities; such as through the intervention of photography and editing software, to manipulate the final result of external bodily images and the internal mind. Thanks to digital photography, the body is able to break through the shackles of reality and reorganize in the form of zeroes and ones to construct a self-portrait projected from the subconscious. Now that we are in the era of the smartphone, this tool has become a physical extension and a third eye of the body. What we view in the eye is no longer remembered in the brain, but stored in the smartphone as digital images. All these images have been through editing, collaging, reorganization and re-production to construct a new self-shaped world. By the baptism of digital technology, the limited life of human beings transform into a new form of digital existence. This creation discusses the motivations, points out the frequent daily behaviors of using smartphones to capture surroundings and view digital images, which carry out the singular relationship of “seeing” without “truly seeing”. Then, it will discuss how the body reorganizes from a pure essence into the digital virtual world. The literature focuses on two ideas, in two parts; the first is the analysis of the body that introduces the body as material, splicing body and landscape, above all extending the possibility of interpretation of the body. The second part introduces lens-based art which takes lens as the creation medium to reach the unconscious experience, and in the meanwhile, blends self-imagination to create a new world made by digital composite images which unveil the personal mind. The concept of this art work starts from the author herself trying to break through the limitation of the human form and remove the human label. By using the benefits of photography technology and image editing software, the body is staged into digital transition process with the physical axis of XYZT, including editing body images as experimental collages, reaching surrealistic shapes of artistic beauty and searching for new forms to rebirth myself. Therefore, “Me” experienced a complete three-dimensional demise in the art works to abandon the original human form, and welcome the reborn of a new virtual form. |
