摘要

我們很難想像去博物館看到的文物是複製品、贗品等，文物需具有一定真實的價值與意義，但是面對現在（及未來）的數位典藏、虛擬實境、影像合成、網路串連等技術，以及沉浸式劇場的策展方式、COVID-19疫情限制問題等，都加速文物以虛擬的影像文本方式呈現。本文觀察到此現象，並進一步研究文物價值與意義在生產過程中的流動與變遷，並以國立故宮博物院為例，發現故宮博物院的宮廷文物價值與意義，其生產者與生產方式在各階段中出現移轉的現象，而觀眾親身經驗更是文物價值與意義的重要來源。並以此再探討博物館的後現代性特徵，以及回應ICOM對博物館新定義的未來想像。

We could hardly imagine that the artifacts that we see in the museum are replicas, given that the artifacts should carry the value of authenticity.. However, current (and future) technologies such as digital collection, virtual reality, image synthesis, network connection, as well as the curatorial approach of immersive theatre, the epidemic restriction of COVID-19, etc., have accelerated the presentation of artifacts in the form of virtual image text. Observes this phenomenon, and further studies the value and significance of artifacts, the flow and changes in the production process, and takes the National Palace Museum as an example study found that the value and significance of the artifacts of the National Palace Museum, its producers and production methods have been transferred in various stages, and the audience has personally experienced more important sources of artifacts' value and meaning. It also discusses the postmodernity characteristics of museums, and responds the future imagination to ICOM's new definition of museums. In observing such a phenomenon, this paper further studies the fluidity and changes of the production value as well as the significance of the artifacts. In taking the National Palace Museum as an example, we discover that the value and significance of artifacts in the Palace Museum shifted according to its producers and production methods in various stages. This shifting phenomenon reveals that the audience's personal experience is an essential source for the value and significance of the artifacts. With that findings, we further debate museums' postmodernity characteristics, responding to the future imagination of ICOM's new definition for museums.
