Research On Virtual Image Art Incontemporary Landscape Sculpture

The technological development of every era combine with its media experimentation will bring new forms of art,and change public views and participation in art.The integration of the digital information brings the thinking and practice of art to a new stage,as an exploration mode that integrate high technology with multimedia expression,by means of its abundant avant-garde experimentation such as conceptual art,video experiment,installation art,interactive art and so on,virtual image art is extremely attractive to the audience in integrating into artworks,and in consciousness,way of thinking,relationship and emotional experience of people.From the theory by Guy Debord : <the society of the spectacle>,the whole life of human being show a huge buildup of spectacle.Today,image has been a kind of material force in social life,and the subservient consumption of the spectacle allows people to stay away from the active participation and creation of life.In such a historical background which has reinforced the isolation of the "lonely people",to restore the vitality of the human race,and to bring the public's attention back to the real life through creative activity is a big theme in the contemporary era.Situationists International have tried to resist the illusion and erosion of people in the society of the spectacle by "constructing the situation",while artists have tried to inspire the audience's new,multidimensional and different perspectives of viewing and thinking by using landscape sculpture as a public facility that people can enter and participate in,for the physical and independent characteristics,visual narrative ways and the existence of public properties that belongs to landscape sculpture and reconstruct the fragmented way of life of modern people through the consideration and creation of the site.In this state,in order to make art and the world have a wide connection and the real tactile relationship,the virtual image is no longer only the technological means thatneed to be tried,to serve the public entertainment,or to satisfy the desire of the people,but because it has many advantages such as diverse forms,creative intensity,diversity of expression,rapid transmission,portable storage,and adaptable to the display space,therefore,it's inevitable that the combination form of virtual image with landscape sculpture appears.The virtual image,via the intervention of digital technology in real field,has the characteristics of virtual,spatiotemporal,conceptual,free and crossover,which expand the space of artistic expression.This is not only a continuous exploration and extension of the boundary of sculpture,but also an artist's praise for The Times.Hegel thinks that "the way to think is to be influenced by the traditional thinking of the forward and the material conditions at that time," so I think it might be possible to think of the virtual image as the material that The Times gave us,because it exists in contemporary era and reflects a certain essence of the age,which contains the algorithms that modern science and computer technology can achieve,and the mix concept of era.As a kind of material space with materiality,multidimensionality,touchability and accessibility,landscape sculpture can interact with human beings,combining virtual image as a virtual medium with a variety of expression techniques and great creative space,the interactive art form can bring a full range of feelings--visual,auditory,tactile,multistructured time sense and spatial sense,etc,so that modern people can get out of the state that to be attracted and occupied too much by the false life online,to rethink and back to real life.The landscape sculpture itself has reached the point where the artist wants to get involved in the environment and to interact with the audience,which opens up a dialogue space for the unconsciousness that exists in the society of the spectacle.To sum up,the involvement of virtual image in contemporary landscape sculpture holds the attraction and vitality whether in its form or in its content,which make people achieve meanings form the experimental process.The interaction between people,and people with the environment is exactly the original intention of landscape artists,moreover,it is also a reason why we artists get involved in the world——to make difference and build up a better place.
