The Research On Virtual Art In The Digital Age

Regarding the study of "virtual art" in the digital age,the academic community does not have a clear definition of this.Therefore,it is first necessary to clarify what "virtual" in virtual art refers to in order to further establish a clearer understanding of virtual art.By combing the trajectory of the concept of "virtual",we can trace and define the virtual from the perspective of Chinese and Western etymology and the philosophy of technology related to virtual,and combine the technical connotation of "virtual" given by the digital and networked era.To further clarify the meaning of the virtual,the virtual refers to the realistic effect of high realism and high reduction achieved by the contemporary digital network technology.Therefore,in a broad sense,artistic creation done with all digital technologies that can realize virtual effects belongs to virtual art.In the narrow sense,the term “virtual art” was officially proposed by the German contemporary philosopher Oliver Grau.He believes that virtual art refers to an art type that uses virtual reality technology to create art.Whether in the broad or narrow sense of virtual art,it is inseparable from the background of the era of digital technology.The gradual blending of technology and art has become a significant trend in the development of art in the digital age.The technological dependence of virtual art is a typical explanation.The creative mode of virtual art refers to digital virtual creation.Digital virtual creation is a comprehensive artistic creation method that combines imitation,fiction,reproduction,etc.,and has its own unique advantages.It can not only reproduce and virtualize the real world,but also reproduce and virtualize the imaginary world.Digital technology provides more possibilities for new artistic creations,mainly in the three aspects of virtual creative thinking,non-linear narrative and integrated artistic language.The expression of virtual art refers to the way in which digital virtual factors are involved in the creation of general art.The existence of virtual art refers to the art form produced by digital virtual technology and network multimedia itself.In the context of today's digital age,the development of digital technology and network multimedia has constantly updated the expressions and ways of existence of various arts,and the development of art is inevitablyinvolved in the process of digitization.Whether it is a general art with digital virtual factors or a new art type created by technology and the media itself,it shows a high degree of dependence on technology.Digital technology not only brings new vitality to music,painting,literature and other arts,but also promotes the transformation of various art types from isolated development to mutual integration,creating new art forms,including digital film and television art,digital interactive installation art,and network.Media art,virtual reality art,etc.Digital technology is the most important development power and technical foundation of virtual art.Therefore,digitization has become a prominent feature of the way virtual art is expressed and existed.The quasi-art works break through the traditional concept of time and space,creating a virtual world with zero displacement on the body and unlimited shuttle and perception in the mind,which in turn affects the appreciation of virtual art.The appreciation of virtual art has two characteristics: First,relying on technical tools to appreciate,forming a new aesthetic way-interactive aesthetic;second,the content of appreciation is virtual,essentially an immaterial aesthetic.Therefore,the appreciation of virtual art has the following three characteristics: the virtuality of artistic aesthetics,the immersion of artistic aesthetics,and the interactivity of artistic aesthetics.In the whole process of artistic appreciation,virtual art provides a new aesthetic experience of unlimited space-time shuttle conversion,realizing the transition from watching to immersion,more realistic and vivid,and at the same time changing the appreciator and creator,appreciator and virtual The relationship between art works,the appreciation of virtual art or aesthetic activities also become a part of virtual art creation,which plays an important role in the direction of the content and the formation of the form.The significance of virtual art research is reflected in the profound influence of the development of literary and aesthetics,and also has important significance and necessary reflection on technology,social life and human thinking.For literary theory,the use of digital technology in artistic activities has had a profound impact on the way literary art is created,the way in which works exist,and the way they appreciate it.The influence of virtual art on aesthetic theory is reflected in the transformation of traditional aesthetic concepts and aesthetic methods,which provides new research content for the development of aesthetics and forms a new research direction such as virtual aesthetics.For art itself,virtual art provides a reference for the integration and development of various art types;for the technical level,the virtual art promoted by digital technology makes creators and and artistic beauty.In the experience,technology and enhances the aesthetic taste.For social life,the rise of virtual art accelerates the process of art going down the halo and going to the general public.At the same time,we need to pay attentionto the rational use of the instrumentality of technology,to develop artistic imagination and creativity,to give full play to subjective initiative,rather than being controlled by technology,to give artistic thinking and artistic emotions to technology.
