A Study on the Immersive Communication Mechanism of Artistic Experiences in the Context of Technology-Mediated Interactions

Abstract

The digital technology deeply rooted into cultural behaviors gives way to a new form of artistic communication defined as "immersion" in place of "seeing." This work proposes a technology-mediated perspective, which integrates media ecology, embodied cognition and technology-mediated theory. This produces a 3D analytical framework which can be identified as "sensory-symbolic-social", and shows how technology clusters stimulate the generation of immersive art experience through multi-modality and sensorial recognition, narrative reconstruction and social relational re-definition. It further proposes a closed-loop mechanism model of input-mediation-output-feedback, explaining the dynamic synergy among art communication, technological systems and users. Furthermore, a randomized controlled experiment in which there were 60 subjects revealed how highly interactive mediation considerably enhances spatial presence, emotional awareness and social presence. A process of evolution transforms the user from ‘spectator’ to “co-creator” where the meaning of art is written through algorithmic interaction or embodiment. A model of theoretical inspection from this work, verifiable and empirical, should give an understanding as to how technology reshapes the power structures and mechanisms of value determination involved in the artistic communication sphere.
