Synthetic Life

In the context of robot installation art,the topic of “Robot synthetic life”should not be studied in the vacuum context of digital media and modern intelligent technology,the development of robot art should not be limited to the study of physical machine structure and static robot modeling.Modern technology challenges dualism in a variety of ways,making and being in the relationship between man and machine has become indistinguishable,and the development of intelligent robots is increasingly confusing what is mind and what is body.Since the Renaissance,machines and robots have been endowed with “Life”.They can talk,move,be worshipped,and be ruled.Cyborg's body pursuit is not pure,so it is constantly generating binary oppositions.The relationship between man and machine has gradually developed from simple use to interaction and now the developing state of body and machine integration.The development of more digital media technology makes the boundary between biology and machine gradually blurred,a decomposition time diagram of “Synthetic life”including birth,growth and death is constructed.From the consumer's point of view,the body of robotic life operates on silica and natural resources,connecting humanity to all parts of the planet through Invisible Commerce,Science,politics,and power.Donna Jeanne Haraway describes cyborg as a hybrid of special machines and special organisms of the late 20 th century,reflecting the hybrid relationship between modern technology and living things.Through the analysis and research on such issues as “The remolding of technology”,“The robot art breaking the duality”,“The construction of the body beyond automation”,“The fusion of digital media”,“The activation of multi-sensory experience of the robot art”,“The change of narrative mode and flowing field”,and “The realization of the aim of constructing the aesthetics frame of the robot installation art with more vitality”.Finally,the author puts forward the essence of “The power to show life to the robot which is more familiar to human beings after the intervention of digital technology in the contemporary technological context”.
