Dissertation in fulfilment of the degree of Master of Arts in Fine Arts by coursework and research report at the University of the Witwatersrand 2014 / My research intends to appropriate and recast Jacques Derrida’s ideas by seeking to interpret the written text as supplementary to photographic images. I use a close reading of Judith Coullie’s introductory text to Selves in Question: Interviews on Southern African Auto/biography (2006) to explore Santu Mofokeng’s representation of his biography and autobiography. Through selected works by Mofokeng, I highlight photographic ways and writing modes of expressing and locating his voice, drawing on the artist’s own subjective reality, memory and metaphor. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in conjunction with the introductory text to Selves in Question serve to provide much historical evidence and contexts to the complexities of writing a personal narrative in an exploration of freedom within the confines of oppression. I nevertheless acknowledge that some narratives are heavily dependent on a collaborative relationship. The negotiated different moments and perspectives that make up various presented narratives are born from spaces and places that act as intersections within the private and public in a constant state of stasis and movement..

科技在過去十多年的迅速發展，成就了電腦及互聯網絡的普及，將人類推向一個未知的新紀元。我們正處於一個影像數量前所未有地泛濫、流通的時代，更多影像媒體的出現，導致我們對於觀看的方式有了新的體驗。視覺媒介與及影像長久以來也在藝術創作、以至人類文明中佔據著主導地位，作為當代藝術家如何對應這個時代的科技與影像文化變遷？本文從三個章節去探討當代藝術創作在數位科技下對新媒體影像的探討與反思。一）影像的定義與科技發展的歷史脈絡：先探討當下數位影像跟觀看方式的轉變，透過檢視影像建構意義的過程去確立一個討論的環境前提；並追朔媒體與空間概念跟影像科技發展的歷史脈絡。二）新媒體與數位影像：界定新媒體的定義，及其發展對影像意義、角色定位所帶來的轉變；延伸至當下虛擬與真實的空間概念轉變。三）非物質的物質化呈現：以當代藝術創作為例子，去闡述新媒體影像及其媒介平台在當代生活中的各種面向。本章所論述的藝術創作集中在以傳統媒介為基礎去對應新媒體影像的藝術作品，而非以新媒體本身為作品媒介的「新媒體藝術創作」。在文末附以本人的藝術作品以供參考。 / The rapid development in technology caused the popularization of computers and internet over the past decades and it generated a new era to human beings. We are at the age of unprecedented number of image, the new visual media has led to a new way of looking. Images and visual media have long been a dominant position in art and human civilization, how to respond with this era of technology and visual culture change as a contemporary artist becomes an important issue. This thesis is divided into three chapters which aim at exploring contemporary artistic creation, discussion and reflection of images of the new media in the digital technology. 1) The definition of image through historical context and development of visual technology: The first phase discusses the change on the way of looking according to the present digital images, the process of constructing meaning through looking the image are introduced to establish a background for the discussion; and traced the historical context of media technology with image development. 2) Of the digital images and new media: The second phase defines the definition of new media, and its influence on the meaning and role of extends to the changes in the concept of virtuality and real space. 3) Representation of the non-material substance: Use contemporary artistic practices as examples to describe the various aspects of new media image in contemporary life. Discussions in this chapter of artistic creation is concentrated in the work of traditional media that use new media image as subject rather than works of new media art". At the end of the thesis, my artworks which relate to the topic are introduced for reference. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 李天倫. / "2012年8月". / "2012 nian 8 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 77-79). / Abstract in Chinese and English. / Li Tianlun. / 引言 --- p.7 / Chapter 第一章 --- 影像的定義與科技發展的歷史脈絡 / Chapter 1.1 --- 當代生活的視覺經驗 --- p.8 / Chapter 1.2 --- 觀看與再現 --- p.9 / Chapter 1.3 --- 影像的意義構成 --- p.10 / Chapter 1.4 --- 數位影像的意義構成 --- p.11 / Chapter 1.5 --- 媒體與空間概念 --- p.15 / Chapter 1.6 --- 影像科技發展的歷史脈絡 --- p.17 / Chapter 第二章 --- 新媒體與數位影像 / Chapter 2.1 --- 新媒體的定義 --- p.23 / Chapter 2.2 --- 新媒體的特質 --- p.24 / Chapter 2.3 --- 觀看方式的轉變 --- p.28 / Chapter 2.4 --- 數位影像的複製、原真性與「靈光」 --- p.29 / Chapter 2.5 --- 虛擬與網絡－空間觀念的轉變 --- p.31 / Chapter 第三章 --- 非物質的物質化呈現－對應新媒體影像的藝術創作 / Chapter 3.1 --- 感知的回歸 --- p.34 / Chapter 3.2 --- 當代視覺語言的體現 --- p.37 / Chapter 3.3 --- 從無形到有形－資訊影像化 --- p.41 / Chapter 3.4 --- 網絡與影像流通 --- p.45 / Chapter 3.5 --- 數位影像與流行文化 --- p.49 / Chapter 3.6 --- 虛擬與真實的糾結 --- p.52 / 結語 --- p.55 / 附錄 / 我的作品 --- p.57 / 圖片來源 --- p.75 / 參考書目及資料 --- p.77
