自二十世纪后期物质型经济转化成知识型经济,产品由“有形”渐趋“无形”,例如信息、知识、知识产权等便是“无形”产品。“无形”产品不仅没有遵从传统“有形”产品固有的内在物质性,并且已经完全融入到每天的生活当中,让你很难意识到它是一件产品。例如,过山车就是常见的“无形”产品。它既具有娱乐性也有经济价值,我们都愿意为之付钱。在迪士尼游玩一天让这个“无形”产品变成各式各样的现实。

类似的情形以不同的方式和强度存在于我们生活当中——在工作中,在我们经常光顾的快餐店里,在购物商场,在周末的足球比赛,在世界一流的博物馆,在家庭式度假胜地,甚至是在医疗服务中。所有的这些产品都基于一个简单而重要的理念:即为一个特定的群体、消费者/客户或普罗大众提供一种“特别的体验”。

“体验”逐渐成为一种产品给我们带来的启示是,市场和商家都已经深刻认识到消费者对商品所带来的体验的喜好远远大于其传统属性,如价格和质量。 在与市场相对的高雅文化领域,许多美学观念,如由利帕德和钱德勒在1968年提出的“艺术去物质化”也指出了一种发展方向,即让观众通过各种抽象的体验参与其中比物品制作的工艺和技巧更重要。

这些例子不禁让我们思考以体验为主导的文化能给艺术、工艺和设计等领域的传统概念带来怎样的新思维? 一种可能是,主张“聚合体验”,让不同的行业领域汇聚一起形成一种综合体验。像建筑、剧场或是舞蹈这些领域,都是从时间上发展而成的多感官体验。它们可以为这些活动提供概念上的蓝图。然而“体验设计”作为独立学科仍需要探索与其他学科及专业领域的关系并明晰自身定位。

内森·谢卓夫在《体验设计1》开篇中写道:“体验设计是一个新兴领域,它的定义还在不断变化之中” (谢卓夫,2011)。尽管在1999年第一版中已经开始论述“体验设计”,但在2011年版《体验经济》的序言里,约瑟夫·派恩二世与詹姆斯·吉尔摩也发出类似的感慨:“这本书自1999年已被翻译成超过15种语言,全球各地有超过30万人购买阅读此书。但是这本书还未深刻影响到足够多的商界领袖和政策制定者,让这个新兴的但却是社会迫切需要的经济秩序蓬勃发展起来。”

视觉艺术硕士课程(体验设计)不畏挑战,糅合独特的多元化创作实践与跨学科研究,超越艺术和设计的传统边界,探索新技术发展、心理学知识系统、经济理论和日常生活的联系,使设计体验的理论与实践形成一个更协调统一的有机框架。因此,视觉艺术院的体验设计硕士课程走在专业领域及学术领域的前沿,致力于打造一个激动人心且意义深远的新兴学科。

Wen Yau: Occupy Movement expands imagination, experience of city space

25th November 2014 by Peter

Dubbed ‘the city of protest’, Hong Kong has seen various demonstrations that effectively engaged a growing number of people and redefine their experiences of using public spaces.

According to Wen Yau from the Academy of Visual Arts, HKBU, civic-led campaigns have negotiated the desired ‘openness and transparency’ as claimed by the government and re-interpreted the site-as-an-open-platform for civil engagement in Hong Kong.

Artist, architect re-animate history with Open Cinema

20th November 2014 by Peter

You might have gone to an outdoor cinema, but what about ‘getting immersed’ inside a structure from waist up and having your feet grounded in open space while watching movies?

That was the temporary structure (pictured) that artist Marysia Lewandowska and architect Colin Fournier created for the Portuguese town of Guimaraes—the European Cultural Capital 2012.
