Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 101 === This thesis is a study of reconstructuring Painting in the era of Mass Media. It explores the disambiguation between two thoughts present in the media: “Depth” and “Superficiality”. The essence of “Culture” and “Painting” is “Depth”, while the essence of “Mass Media” is “Superficiality.” “Superficiality” is the minimal state of social moral, perception, subjectiveness, debauched, complying with desire, and disintegrating meanings. “Depth” is the full state of civilized creed, rational, objectivity, precision, self-reflection of desire, and raising meanings. This thesis put forth “The Third Party” relationship with media. “The Third Party” is not only a combination, but a new one. It is absolutely not subordinate to its original compositions, instead brings them other definitions and meanings. The processes of creation are the practice of “The Third Party”. This thesis also explored the concept of “Sense of Mentality Purpose.” It is the purpose that an author raises viewers’ mentality consciousness by various media. The viewers’ “Inner Mental Consciousness” happens before written words, speech, and expressions. It is the complex of emotions, attitude, and psychological reaction. The researcher explains the inner mental consciousness of political art by this term. For the phenomenon of visual culture in Media and society in Taiwan, these key words are used: factor in culture - Han Chinese people’s core cultural value is “perfection,” “consistency,” “lively”; factor in geography - “fluid” and “integration” in ocean culture. Its “lack” of natural heavy industry resources and “agitation” arises from the threat of natural disaster. Taiwanese have the “pirate” psychological archetype caused by history – “freebooting,” “trade” and “honor.” The situation of “modernization under pressure” reflects the developing contemporary society of East Asia. Therefore, Mass Media in Taiwan shows endless “noise.” Even though Taiwan has departed from colonization, Taiwanese grope for cultural self-concept and seek international identification. Regime and culture here are multifarious influenced. It shows the becoming type of “seeking,” “conferring” and “integration.” This creation derived from the mode of culture experience that make “Painting” restructured from “Mass Media” and the form of integrating “Reversed Drawing” with inkjet print. “Painting – Image” the identity has been given, so image and material could be decoded together and make viewers gaze “noise” from “mute” then “induction less” and “detached” inner mental consciousness arise. And then think over and self-reflect for the force of “Mass Media” and “Painting” as the political practice in this creation.
