| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 美術創作碩士班在職專班 === 101 === Soft articulation represents two series of my artwork; they are: “Invitation” as a series of installation and “Movement” as a series of painting. Externally the term Soft refers the overall character of my artwork’s form and content, and internally it indicates the status embedded in the civilized and masculine society. Articulate as a verb means to express, reveal, and voice from the inner part of myself, expanding to a deeper meaning of movement. Movement is seen as the behavioral state developed throughout the process of creation, or it also can be referred to the expressive articulation evolved through the kinesthetic sensitivity in relation to my artistic creation.
This thesis focuses on my creation of “Invitation” and “Movement,” using the soft element as a form of art to inquire its characteristics, conditions, and nature. I examine how the soft element can be used to articulate the privacy related to content revealing, and how the inner artistic space connects to the outer space construction.
As the industrialized society shifting from machinery industry to information industry, the machine-oriented way of thinking has replaced human rationality. As a result, the perception of body loses its balance. I look into body perception to investigate the probability of technology as a medium and then intend to reconstruct a cross-disciplinary system. I ask, while the body becomes the focus, how can we articulate the text through an extension of body representation? The soft articulation provides an overview to express the soft characteristics and integrate the demonstration of private spaces through a cross-disciplinary installation. This cross-disciplinary articulation highlights not only visual and auditory, but also kinesthetic and olfactory sensory engagement in a holistic way.
