Network Exchanges Of Aesthetic Reflection

The popularization of network has greatly gone beyond the bound of pure technology and formed a cultural phenomenon and character of the times. Under such background, the study of "cyberculture" has naturally become a popular issue across the global area and thus opened up a new theoretical field of vision for the development of aesthetics. According to this paper, in comparison with the formal shapes of media culture, the most significant feature of cyberculture is that, to a great extent, it has broken the limits of one-way communication and thus developed entirely new types of interaction communication. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to review the cyberculture from the view of communication, try to reflect the Internet communication standing in an aesthetic position, and finally gain some achievement toward the extension of paradigm in contemporary aesthetic study. The paper consists of the following three parts:Chapter 1 'General View' : Firstly, demonstrates the theoretical premise that communication is the realistic way of being; Secondly, analyses the feature of cyberspace serving as the media of Internet communication; Finally, divides the internet communication into three basic types and specializes in their formations and characters.Chapter 2 ' Contradiction of Internet Communication' : Reviews and analyses the issues of communication contradiction dominated by the network technology which embodies in three aspects: Firstly, the coexistence of "truth" and "falsehood" during the interaction between men and virtual world. Secondly, the integration and separation during the self-attestation on the Internet. Thirdly, the coexistence of carnival and loneliness during the hypertext communication.Chapter 3: 'Perplexity and Reconstruction' : For one thing, reveals the puzzle caused by the network technology: Firstly, the superficial aesthetical consciousness which tries to convert the communication of Internet into games of pure formalization; Secondly, the reoccurance of the significant issue concerning the relation between technological criterion and aesthetical living. For another, to make the communication of Internet an all—round understanding of human value, reexamines the importance andfunction of network in a position of aesthetical reflection, and finally puts forward the theme of "aesthetical communication of network" as a completely new idea of communication in the era of Internet.
