Plastic Art and New Media
Tristian Evans
Abstract：This article examines shared characteristics in minimalist music, the plastic arts and new media. With references to existential semiotics and other analytical techniques, a selection of case studies will be examined, in particular Philip Glass’s Glassworks (1981) and Symphony No. 4 (1996); Richard Serra’s ‘Open Ended’ installation (2007-8), and Chuck Close’s artistic techniques as evinced in his portraits of Glass. The study will demonstrate how certain approaches, significations and perceptions are common across various media. The article will examine how minimalist music has been employed in new contexts, namely in the form of television commercials and, more recently, as applications for smartphones and tablet computers, for instance Glass and Beck’s REWORK project (2012).
Keywords：Minimalist music, art, sculpture, new media, Philip Glass, Richard Serra, Chuck Close
“开放”的互动？：对极简主义音乐、造型艺术和新媒体的探讨
崔斯坦·埃文斯
摘要：本文讨论了极简主义音乐、造型艺术和新媒体的共同特征，从存在符号学等分析工具出发，选取艺术个案，如菲利普•葛拉斯的音乐作品《玻璃》（1981）和《四号交响乐》（1996）、理查•塞拉的“开放”装置艺术和查克•克洛斯在葛拉斯肖像中展示出的艺术手法，来进行讨论。研究旨在论证在不同的媒介中，所使用的方法、意味和引起的感知是共同的。本文同时检视了在新的语境之中，也就是在电视商业节目中、以及更为新近的、如向葛拉斯和贝克致敬的REWORK程序那样的智能手机和平板电脑的应用软件中，极简主义音乐是如何被使用的。
