Abstract

This paper investigates how digital technology innovates the aesthetic ontology of film images. The modern civilization of computer and internet bring about the new ontology of film images. Digital hybrid image expands the contradictory combination of physical reality and filmic fantasy. It is inevitable to recount Walter Benjamin' s concept of mechanical reproduction in the age of digital cinema. The modern condition of image arts changes the concept of mechanical reproduction to the logic of digital configuration. In addition, computer simulation innovates the film aesthetics of montage to the aesthetics of digital collage. The technological and aesthetical development of computer simulation and internet network leads to the new ontology of digital hybrid images. This study suggests a new theoretic point that the aesthetic ontology of digital hybrid images leads to the expansion of filmic fantasy and expression.

이 논문은 디지털 테크놀러지가 영화 이미지의 미학적 존재론을 어떻게 변화시키고 있는지에 대해 다룬다. 영화 예술의 물질적 기초로서 셀룰로이드 필름을 통한 이미지 생산과 소비의 시대는 이미 막을 내렸다. 컴퓨터와 인터넷 시대의 도래는 영화의 세계에 새로운 이미지 존재론의 출현을 불가피하게 만든다. 오늘날 디지털 시네마 시대에 벤야민의 기계 복제 개념을 재해석할 필요가 있다. 필름 이미지의 기계 복제는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 기초한 디지털 합성 개념으로 변형된다. 또한, 디지털 테크놀러지는 영화의 몽타주 미학에 중대한 변화를 초래한다. 쇼트들의 시간적 연결에 기초한 필름의 몽타주 미학은 컴퓨터 데이터와 픽셀 이미지의 공간적 시뮬레이션에 기초한 '디지털 꼴라주' 미학으로 변화한다. 이 논문은 영화적 환영과 표현의 미학이 확장되는 디지털 하이브리드 이미지 존재론을 탐구함으로써 기존 연구와의 차별성을 제시한다.
