From the 19th century Nietzsche's body-centered pragmatism aesthetics,with the deepening of the understanding of the relationship between mind and body and the re-examination of the dualistic relationship between body and mind,aesthetics changed from metaphysical logical thinking to the practicalism that emphasis on aesthetic experience.In twentieth century,due to the continuous transition of the academic and cultural context,the discourse of aesthetics has undergone new changes.The body problem beyond Aesthetics is becoming increasingly prominent in the postmodern cultural context.In the postmodern context,“Body Aesthetics”becomes a broader academic topic.Since the beginning of the 21st century,with the development of digital technology and electronic media,the era of art digitalization has rapidly arrived.The human aesthetic field has been gradually transferred from the traditional space to cyberspace,and a series of social and cultural problems have formed the new vision of contemporary literature and art research and major theoretical challenges.The“disembodied”phenomenon brought by cyberspace also highlights the importance of people' s reflection on the problem of“self-involved".The elaboration of body aesthetics should also make a deeper understanding with cyberspace as the background.Cyberspace refers to the virtual space that the computer information technology controls.Cyberspace culture is formed through the people's social exchanges and becomes a new culture.The virtual,symbolic and interactive experiences of cyberspace are able to make the aesthetic inside further embody as wholly body-immersed cultural activities beyond the time and space.On the one hand,the virtuality of cyber technology makes aesthetic activities surmount the boundaries of time and space,showing a multicultural orientation;On the other hand,the development of electronic media technology makes the aesthetic way of people undergo an important conversion.Cyberspace' s digital symbol has changed people's aesthetic habits,showing a trend of fragmented and deep experience.Compared with the traditional aesthetic space,the aesthetic space of cyberspace presents different characteristics,and the aesthetic activities are shifted from one direction to multi-directional interaction and from reality to virtual.The experience and immersion of aesthetic subject are greatly enhanced,and poetic experience is replaced by the desire to conquer.The classical spirit has declined,and the meaning and delights of aesthetic space have also been reduced.Therefore,body aesthetics also presents many new problems.As the mind and body unity of main body,the body in cyber space has practical initiative.It is the most original tool to perceive the world.It is also a place and intermediary to carry out aesthetic activities produce pleasure.The virtual reality of cyberspace provides a great place for the“body-subject" to practice.In the post-modern cultural life which is controlled by cyberspace technology,the "body" seems "absent",but it is not in fact.When people are immersed in virtual reality,"the world is the thing that I perceive”.It means that the subject fully relies on physical perception.Hence,the so-called“embodied world"metaphor is self-evident.Cyber technology changes the relationship between people and information in a basic and thorough way as well as the relationship between the aesthetic subject and the object-As the aesthetic subject,the "body"manifests an increasing number of problems.As the immersion experience is too realistic,the technology is more and more involved in the body,and the boundaries of the body' s aesthetic subject and object become blurred.The modern aesthetic subject pursues the absolute control of the material world.The pursuit of the absolute control of self-body make the aesthetic body become the equivalent as a symbol in the consumer carnival.With the popularity of digital media and the change of aesthetic values toward the body,the body as a carrier of gender symbols brings aesthetic activities to power conversion and confusion.In the field of aesthetics,how to construct the criterion of aesthetic value in cyberspace,and how to regulate the aesthetic order of cyberspace,are the urgent problems to be solved.This paper deeply reflects on how to construct the aesthetic life of cyberspace ethics through the concrete practice of physical aesthetics in cyberspace.The popularity of cyberspace has spawned the possibility of new aesthetic art and also promoted the transformation of its new aesthetic paradigm which is different from the traditional aesthetic ideas and methods.Cyberspace which is constructed by the virtual reality technology and digital media Virtual space technology is facing aesthetic challenges as well as the practical needs to construct cyberspace aesthetic value criteria and regulate the physical aesthetic order.The discussion of the aesthetic issues of cyberspace not only reminds us that we should continue to pay attention to the cultural situation in development and make our theoretical research more realistic but also show a more emotional,more dynamic and emancipative aesthetic construction direction.It can be said that a series of physical problems caused by the development and use of cyber technology constitute a new vision and significant theoretical challenge of contemporary aesthetic culture research,which provides an opportunity for the transformation of contemporary aesthetic culture and expands a new space for the development of aesthetic culture.Where will the contemporary aesthetic culture go with this opportunity?This is the fundamental question that this article explores.
