Abstract

The development of technology has always been influencing the worldview of the time, and this has been embodied through artistic media and contents throughout history. This paper begins with an overview on how the notion of movement in art has developed with the juxtaposition of materiality and immateriality or the conversion between the two by rethinking Kinetic Art which was popularized in the mid-twentieth century in America and Europe. Then, this is compared with New Media Art which employs advanced digital media techniques to generate virtual images. New Media Art requires some kinds of physical mechanisms and space for the embodiment of virtual images to some extent. The coexistence of material and immaterial aspects of New Media art is investigated through the contextualization with certain aspects of Kinetic Art.

역사적으로 과학기술의 발전은 그 시대의 세계관에 영향을 미쳐왔고, 이는 예술매체와 콘텐츠를 통하여 시각화되어왔다. 본고에서는 20세기 초반에서 중반사이에 아메리카와 유럽을 중심으로 발전하고 단기간 주목받았던 키네틱아트에 대한 재조명을 통해서 '움직임' 의 개념이 어떠한 방식으로 작품의 물질성과 비물질성의 전환과 공존을 통해 발전해왔는지에 대해 알아보고 이러한 키네틱아트의 개념 확대가 현대의 새로운 과학기술을 반영한 뉴미디어아트에 어떠한 영향을 끼쳤는지 논하였다. 디지털미디어로 창작된 작품은 항상 관객과의 대면에 일종의 환영을 구동시키는 장치부터 물리적 공간이나 인터페이스가 필요한데, 이러한 면이 키네틱아트의 전례와 '물질과 비물질의 병치'라는 면에서 유사한 점과 차이점을 모두 내제하고 있다고 보고 두 미술사적 운동에 대하여 비교분석을 통해서 탐구하였다.
