內容 Content
藝術的存在與人類文明的關係可以說是密不可分。不論地域、語言、膚色，有史以來，藝術似乎都是社會中不可或缺的一部分。
而藝術作為一個獨特的媒介，有著無法被取代的位置。它傳遞訊息的方式並不依賴於語義。這種獨一無二的存在，能夠幫助我們的溝通有效地超越文字的限制，將那不能訴諸言語的，一一轉化為意會的可能性。尤其在這個言語傳遞受到外在力量限制的時代，這些能夠巧妙地將思考安放在有形的載體中的技巧，無疑變得更加重要。
但是，身處當代社會，我們的環境賦予了我們一套熟悉的語言，而這種思考上的框架卻讓我們與藝術的關係變得曖昧。
當藝術變得陌生，接觸並體驗藝術似乎變得無從入手。甚至，當它確實的輪廓已被遺忘，我們可能會誤會藝術只不過是一場又一場解密的遊戲，又或者只是煽情又俗套的表達。
那麼，我們究竟該如何好好體驗藝術，並體會它試圖傳遞的意涵？又或者說，藝術真正的意義到底是什麼？我們又如何才能好好地體驗藝術呢?
Ever since the dawn of human culture, art has been an inseparable part from our civilization. Regardless of region, language, ethnicity, art has always been an irreplaceable part of the society.
By itself an unique medium, art’s uniqueness is self-evident. The way that it conveys message does not rely on semantics. By virtue of its characteristic, art can help us communicate in a way that transcend the limits of words. All those that cannot be expressed in words, are transformed into shinning possibilities of comprehension through art. Especially in light of the current ime, in which the room for speech is being significantly confined by external force, these techniques of concealing our thoughts and ideas into tangible vessels, have become remarkably important.
Nevertheless, subjagated to the modern society, our environment has bestowed upon us with a set of language that determines our ways of thinking. This framework of thought in a degree obscures our relationship with art.
When art is alienated from us and becomes unfamiliar, the idea of experiencing art appears to become a perplexing task. Indeed, with its silhouette having been forgotten, we might have the wrong impression that art is nothing but games of deciphering and representation or only tricks to invoke futile sentimental resonance.
Then, how could we experience art and understand the depth that it consists of. Or, put differently, what is the meaning of art after all, both personally and collectively?
