從身體行為到影像觀看 －江明學的創作論述
From Body Art to Imagery ─A Video by Ming-hsueh, Chiang
摘要
摘 要 本篇論述的基本架構，是研究自己的創作歷程；在進入研究所階段之後，從認識新媒體到走進新媒體創作這個領域，不斷的摸索與學習，從自我為出發點，進一步的發掘與自我剖析，來作為新階段創作的開始；在自己的作品中，充分表達自我理念，創作就是對自我的認知與交代。 第一章節簡單談論當初選擇新媒體創作的動機，在經過一連串的摸索與學習之後，開始進一步從作品與文論之中逐一釐清。 第二章節則淺談創作媒介的發展與應用，錄像藝術與身體行為藝術，在國外早已相當成熟，藝術家的創作及靈感能夠充分運用新科技媒材加以表達，表現出與以往不同的藝術表現。 第三章節分析自我作品與藝術的關係。2004-2008這段創作期間，不斷的尋找自我的創作出口，期待能將身體與心靈的能量，在作品之中完整的呈現。 第四章節則檢視作品呈現的方式，連結觀眾的感受與作者內心的思緒。 最後章節為結論，美國新媒體藝術評論家金、楊布柏勒（Gene Youngblood）曾說：「藝術就是實驗」（All art is experimental ,or it is not art）；這些實驗啟蒙藝術家的視野，帶動藝術風格的變革。筆者自認為本創作是一種自我實驗，企圖從作品中找出自我存在的意義，進而規劃對未來創作的方向與努力的目標。

Abstract The basic structure of this thesis is to examine my creation process. After entering the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts, I started learning new media art and immersed myself in the field. Since then, I never stopped gaining knowledge of artistic creation. I analyzed the question of 「who am I? 」during the process of creating my works. The start point of all my creations is the concept of “myself”. My artworks are expected to express myself fully since I consider that creation is self-recognition and self-acknowledgement. Chapter one expounds the motivation of my creation and my choice of new media art. After I went through a series of exploration on the topic, the reasons why I chose new media were gradually made clearer through my artworks and essays. Chapter two briefly discusses the development and application of art medium. Video art and body and performance art have maturely developed in some foreign countries by now. The artists have been able to employ new technological media to present their creation and inspiration, and those presentations are noticeably different from former times Chapter three analyzes the relation between my works and art. In the period of 2004 to 2008, I have been looking for ways to completely deliver the power of my body, mind and soul to my creations. Chapter four inspects the manner with which I express my works: can the viewers perceive the creator’s feelings behind the works？ The last chapter draws out the conclusion. The critic of American new media art, Gene Youngblood, once said: “All art is experimental, or it is not art.” These “experiments” open the artists’ eyes and initiate the revolution of art styles. I consider my creation as a self-experiment, in which I intend to discover the meanings of self-existence. The experience made me understand that it is always not easy to utilize any medium on an artwork. With this understanding, I am able to think deeply about the possibility of my creation, and subsequently, map out the direction and the goal of my future works.
