Affectivity of New Media Art Based on the Phenomenology of Aesthetic Experience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the development of both media and technology, new media technology has cast a significant influence on art creation, creating an aesthetic paradigm different from that of traditional art. Meanwhile, owing to the different aesthetic appeals of the new era, basic components of art, such as content and form, are constantly changing. The ultimate goal of art is to express the artist’s emotions and communicate with the spectator in the same aesthetic flow. Additionally, new media art attempts to convey emotions to the appreciators and provide them a multidimensional aesthetic approach by subverting traditions and innovating in artistic expressions and aesthetic experience. This study aims to explore the aesthetic perception and perception-based emotions in new media art from the perspective of aesthetic experience. Specifically, it applies Dufrenne’s phenomenological aesthetic theory to analyze the aesthetic process. Through the analysis of affectivity in aesethics, the creator’s aprroaches of constructing the emotional aesthetic space, as well as the role of emotions in art creation, is reflected upon to inspire the future affective creation of new media art.
