디지털 매체 예술에서 스크린 활용의 미학적 고찰

Abstract

The contemporary image is reproduced infinitely by multiple users based on the network and survives in the virtual ecosystem. If the existing digital art is interpreted from the perspective of production-delivery-acceptance, the image data based on the network space are formed in a circular relationship and are entangled in a more complex network. In this text, I recognize that there is a limit to analyzing Digital Media Art with the specificity of traditional media in this diversified flow of Contemporary Art, and insist on the need for a new aesthetic. The research method is to look at the changed media concept, set the screen that cross-mediates virtual and reality as the analysis target, and analyze the expression aspects inside and outside the screen from an anatomical point of view based on the works of contemporary video artists. Accordingly, in this article, as digital images are democratized due to multiple users of the network, the concept of media in the Post-Medium era is changing from a physical format to a data format. Inside the screen, the production method of the image appears in a variety of techniques, from actual filmed footage to Found Footage that recycles found images. In addition, it was possible to observe that the traces of video installations where projections in the physical space were architecturally arranged and video narratives were experimented with, outside the screen, were again attempting to transform the platform into an intangible network space. In conclusion, under the end of media specificity, it was considered that the screen is related to the distribution of images through the network and to the architectural style as a physical frame inside and out. Therefore, based on the medium format of the screen as an object and its background phenomenon, it was attempted to prove that it is possible to grasp the topographical map of Digital Media Art in contemporary and to explore its new aesthetics.
