Body Illusions Under Quantitative Indicators

With the promotion of the macro strategy of "Healthy China" and the rapid development of media intelligence technology,the "human-computer interaction"represented by fitness intelligence media has gradually become closer and closer,and the"body" has begun to attract the attention of the academic community.The use of fitness intelligent media has become an important cross-section in the study of "the body from the perspective of media" or "the media from the perspective of the body".In the process of human-computer interaction in the current motion-smart media,and as the body becomes more data-driven and bodily practices gradually become representations of human-computer interaction,a number of issues arise.The "human being" is reduced to a"digital individual" that is stripped of all social relations and political identities,retaining only the biological characteristics of the body and its trajectory of action.This paper attempts to focus on the issues related to the intelligent medium of fitness from the perspective of the body.Based on textual analysis and semi-structured interviews,this paper firstly examines the history and current situation of sports and fitness,the historical origins of fitness and the evolution of related policies in China,and the fundamental position of the "body" as a sport and a medium.Then,through the conversations of eight interviewees and the method of auto-ethnography,the logic of the intervention of the body by the intelligent medium of movement is thoroughly sorted out,including the quantification of the body under the tracking technology,the regulation of the body from others to the self,and the display of the body as a kind of capital.It also summarizes and analyzes the specific manifestations of a series of body ethical issues brought about by it,including the reduction of the body to the representation of technology,the proliferation of body privacy,the lack of social responsibility,and the homogenized body.Smart sports devices,as new media forms,amplify issues concerning body ethics while reshaping body image and body experience.Later,we consider how to get out of this dilemma from three perspectives:upgrading mediatechnology,strengthening human subjectivity,and relying on external regulatory supervision.To make intelligence return to intelligence and the body belong to the body itself in the policy regulation as well as moral environment,people can better know and grasp their own bodies,and instrumental rationality can better serve value rationality.
