「擬神獸」以神獸圖符演變紀錄網路時代下窺視行為之創作
「Virtual Mythical Animals」 The Recording of the Creation of Peep Behavior in Internet Age through the Evolution of Mythical animal Symbols
摘要
神獸的誕生與當時人們生活的形態及生活冀望有很大的關係，隨著時代的變化在形態與裝飾上有所改變，這變化都與當時文化與思想有密切的關連，間接紀錄一個時代的記憶與特色。因其圖符紀錄脈絡，啓發筆者認為網路媒體為現代人所依賴與寄託，是這時代的特色與文化，希望藉由神獸紋飾的演變紀錄當代人們沈溺於網路窺視的文化。 本創作探討網路資訊時代的演進與了解網路行為－「窺視（peep）」，針對中國紋飾與神獸的造形進行分析，整理並與網路窺視文化結合，再創造新世代網路神獸，藉此探討網路時代使用者隱性躲避行為透過創造巨大的網路巨獸，滿足自我慾望之心理。本創作運用電腦手繪技法及影像後製，結合後現代的拼貼、虛擬、轉化等手法，創作出多元的繪畫語彙，希望藉以傳達多樣虛幻的網路窺視文化。 創作目的有以下三點： （一）、整理中國紋飾與中國神獸相關文獻理論，作為與網路窺視文化的結合與紀錄，並供未來其他創作者之參考。 （二）、「擬神獸」創作研究中，以十二章紋為第一創作階段，融入網路窺視文化及社群符號，創作出具有網路意象的「擬十二章紋」。進而融入第二階段的創作，結合神獸造形與寓意，創造出全新的網路窺視神獸，構成一組完整的創作計畫。 （三）、本創作研究希望可以藉由神獸演變的脈絡，以圖符敘事的方式紀錄網路窺視文化，得以讓世人注意到此議題，反身自我是否也深陷其中。

The birth of mythical animals has a great relationship with people's living styles and living hopes. As times changed, the styles and decorations have also changed. These changes are all closely related to the cultures and ideologies during the times, and indirectly record the memories and characters of an era. Because of the contexts recording of the symbols, the researcher had been inspired to believe that internet media is the sustenance and what modern people are relying on. This is the characteristic and the culture in this age. The researcher hoped to record the culture of modern people sunk in peep behavior on internet through the evolution of the ornamentation of mythical animals. This creation research investigated the evolution of internet era and had understood the internet behavior, "peep", and analyzed the Chinese ornamentation and the mythical animal’s models; organized and combined to internet peep culture to create a new generation of internet animals, and to investigate the internet users’ hidden avoid behaviors and mentalities of satisfying their selves’ desires through the creation of huge monsters. This creation adopted computer hand-painted techniques and video post-production, and combined them with post-modern collage, virtual, transformation, and other skills to create diverse vocabulary of painting. It is hoped that the idea of the diverse illusory internet peep culture can be conveyed. The creation purposes were as following: （1）Organizing Chinese decoration and related literary theories of Chinese Mythical animals to be the future recording of combining into the internet peep culture, and to be the reference of other creators in the future. （2）The first phase of the creation research of “Virtual Mythical animals” was about the “Twelve Symbols of Sovereignty”. This mixed the internet peer culture with community symbols to create the images of “Twelve Pseudo-Symbols of Sovereignty”. Furthermore, in the second phase of this creation, the images were combined with the models of the mythical animals and their meanings to create the new internet peeping mythical animals. Thus a complete set of creative projects had been constituted. (3) This creation research had hoped to record the internet peep culture in the way of narrative symbols through the context of the evolution of the mythical animals, and made the world aware of this issue. Has the reflexive self sunk in it?
