摘要

當今數位文化之新興藝術形式與數位現象，正處於同步發展的演化關係。視覺文本之圖像意義的建構過程在世界各國不同媒體文化與世代背景相互交融之下產生多樣的藝術風貌。本研究基於解構主義（Deconstruction）大師德里達（Jacques Derrida）的「延異」（difference，或譯為差異、衍異、分延）的中心觀念，運用「藝術審查」（artistic audit）的方法檢視數原位生世代如何建構藝術創作主體之視覺圖像意義與社會脈絡的關聯性。其視覺圖像所承載多重文本的意涵因為時代潮流、外在環境、文化經驗、知識背景等等而產生差異。本研究樣本選取係運用「立意取樣法」（purposeful sampling）揀選具代表性的數位原生藝術家作品為研究樣本。在藝術的演化持續受到質疑之下，本研究總結（1）數位文化之潮流呼應德里達「延異」之時空流變哲學，虛擬網路環境加快既定意義鏈上的圖像符號之解構與重組，滋養數位原生之多元創作題材如神話、幻想；（2）視覺物件與其符碼涵義經由數位文化的時空潮流「延異」產生轉換，其所載述之新美學視域，表現數位原生之個人內在經驗與外部環境交錯演化的對話型態，更承載著創作文本之主體價值。

The relationship of emerging art form and digital phenomenon in the contemporary digital culture is evolutionary and synchronized. Through interaction among different media cultures and generations with diver e backgrounds over the world, the construction of meanings for the text of visual images merge, producing a variety of artistic styles. Based upon Jacques Derrida's Deconstruction philosophy (differance, translated as difference, derivation. or extension), this study applies an artistic audit research method to examine how the digital native generation constructs visual meanings and relates to the social context through creative artworks. The multiple meanings that visual images convey differ due to trends, environments, cultural experiences, and knowledge backgrounds. Samples are selected through ＂purposeful sampling＂ to analyze the interactivity of the creative subject and the environment. While the evolution of art is constantly under query, the research concludes that (I) Digital culture endorses the space-time rheology philosophy of Derrida as the virtual environment accelerates the deconstruction and reorganization of visual symbols within an established meaning chain, nourishing manifold creative theme of digital natives such a myth and fantasy; (2) Through spatial and temporal differance within the digital culture, visual objects and their symbolic meanings evolve and new visual aesthetics develop, demonstrating a staggered dialogue pattern involving digital native's personal experience and external environment which carries the subjective value of creative text.
