碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 科技藝術研究所碩士班 === 94 === Contemporary so-called “true” question, not definition of “the true in itself “, but we receive baptism of digital era, indulging in sense of physical experience constantly with “ true experience “. “True“ will not be a hardly definable word, because of that had already changed into the personal perception feeling with succession of images in our daily lives. Our bodies have to accept environment that numerous image files duplicated limitlessly in the digital era. This kind of image experience is no longer a question of expression or abstract as usual, it is a qualitative change question that becomes out of shape of quantity. This era is full of digital, electronic image interfaces. The images had lost the depth of field what caused the qualitative change of flat images. The abundant linguistic meanings in different cinema scenes were gone. We can get different information in digital images, but few of meaning. This kind of images can only be read, not for appreciating vision experience. That is the exactly characteristic of image in digital era, as our thesis had mentioned. The Question of the reality of the image, in fact having close relations with the digit image, some of them had information instead of the view. The image is no longer a certification to reality. All vision experience may be unable to relate with reality, lose the basis of the rational concept. We are gradually far away from the rational concept of the spoken and written languages in such image environment, and full of uncertainty as we treat image as the new texture. How to discuss the authenticity will be a brand-new experience. Because of the various lives background, individuals may demonstrate different perceptions even if what faces the same scenario. The perception experience is the intersection point of the audience’s body and the works. A simple and unadorned psychologically feeling will wake up while we are staring at the works. This kind of feeling is of wordless, private feeling. Interactive video installation "I am just here" will directly bring the audiences participate in the works, that is recording and monitoring in the same time. The author wants to explore the new character of the tool what is used in our daily lives.
