Abstract

Aristoteles, in Poetics, said that the art is embodied through an imitation of nature and placed a meaning on the essence of art form. In this respect, artists have been trying to enhance the experience of viewers on art works by integrating the relationship between nature and human into the work. According to John Dewey, who emphasized that art works can maintain the aesthetic standing only through the human experiences, today’s media art which induces viewers’ voluntary participation and tactile experience, can be referred as the art pursuing the most active experience. Media art has been developed by imitating or combining the previous art forms using digital media. The course of art work using digital media follows the theme of traditional art that dealt with the essence of human and nature, or changes the viewers’ experience from passive state to active with the interactive relationship between the artwork and viewers. In this way, Media Art imitates a traditional art form and aesthetic categories of subjects and at the same time expands the new concept by changing the art form with different mediums and tools. In this sense, this study analyzes through case work how the embodiment process – that began from the relationship between human and nature, nature and art, and human and art - is implemented in today’s media art. This study also present the media art work, Fine, which generates active human experience with the subject of nature and analyzes the interactive relationship between human and nature that is formed in the work.Aristoteles, in Poetics, said that the art is embodied through an imitation of nature and placed a meaning on the essence of art form.
