Aesthetic Salvation Contemporary Art Criticism Under Marcuse Technology Horizon

Technology as the existence of a purpose is to help human to achieve a free and comprehensive development, but the reality is counterproductive. Technology makes people’s lives more convenient, but it does not bring more happiness. Technology improves the work efficiency, but it also speed up the toil and life rhythm of the people. Technology treats the disease of human, but cannot comfort the broken hearts. Technology makes knowledge available easily, but we feel poorly understood; Technology upgrades the material and brings a large number of goods, but more and more people are oppressed by the material. The inequality and the rich-poor divide between different people are revealed dramatically. Thus, these also foment the technology owners’arrogance and increased their power. And also change the technology to the technology of power, strong technology, and dissimilate the technology at last. Technology Alienation brings split technology with its own, split with the interests of the majority, split with the good and beautiful and split with human nature. These make more and more people today no longer to pay attention to the real demand, unique personal charm and distinct personality, but to measure the value of human beings as "usefulness" to keep up with the negative tendencies of the whole society.This technology transformation and the downfall of human nature force human beings urgently need some kind of critical spirit. This is what we want to remove the sense of servility of the human soul, and reject the external standard used to measure their own and others. Based on the nature of human needs, we should to eradicate the social roots and mandatory conditions which cause painful to the human heart. And at the same time, we must to believe that human beings have the potential to change the actuality, and can be redeemed from many problems due to technology alienation. Also based on this, the famous contemporary philosopher, Herbert Marcuse has pointed out a road that can change the actuality and liberate their own aesthetic. Advocate human use aesthetic and extraordinary sensibility of art to emphasize the unique significance of its own existence. And save mankind from the plight of extreme instrumental rationality with aesthetic sensibility brilliant. Aesthetic as a human-specific perceptual awareness stems from the pursuit and longing for the good things and from instinct and an innate love. So, we need to use the aesthetic value judgments to disperse the significant harm caused by instrumental rationality. And explore the way to put technology into the aesthetic category. To find the starting point of human harness technology to correction the extreme and utilitarian of technique, and return the technique to the service of the comprehensive development of human freedom. Let the glory of the aesthetic scour off the denouncement of technology.
