查拉圖斯特拉：精神三變 – 一個視覺與音樂的敘事創作研究

Abstract

本研究探討概念對象的聽覺和視覺傳達，這是音樂與視覺藝術的交纏，也是音樂傳達的另類語言。

首先分析尼采《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》文本中的「精神三變」與「永恆輪迴」思考，並藉由符號學的「符號衍義」與「符號鏈」、「身心變容」的轉變過程，來思考尼采《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》文本所傳達的概念，以及其他藝術家的相關創作表現。

研究中除了回顧關於視覺與音樂的藝術創作發展脈絡外，也進行相關的媒體技術與創作實驗，最後完成本研究作品《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》的視覺與音樂創作。過程中透過與視覺藝術家合作，完成了富含技巧性與內在思維的藝術創作。

視覺音樂（Visual music）的創作邏輯，是將音樂與音效轉換為相對應的視覺表現，透過不同感官之間的聯覺共感，與音樂產生緊密的滲入，從而產生視覺表現張力，強化了視覺和音樂之間的關聯變化。最後在可見聲音與可聆聽音樂之間，加入不同變化的色彩和光線，產生一個充滿音樂空間與視覺意像的多重表現。

研究主要探討了幾個問題：1. 不同感官、語言之間如何跨域交流。2. 沒有物件的概念對象如何表現。3. 表現方式與跨域創作。創作以概念對象方式來傳達「精神三變」和「永恆輪迴」在虛擬空間中的多維度表現，是自我超越，同時也是思維成長的建構與循環過程。

The research explores the auditory and visual communication of conceptual objects. This is the entanglement of music and visual art, and is also an alternative language for music communication.

This research begins with analyzing Nietzsche's concepts of “Three metamorphoses” and “Eternal Return” in his book of “Thus spoke Zarathustra”, then uses the theory of “Unlimited Semiosis”, and “Chain of Semiosis” and “Emersiologie” (Emersiology) to try to explore Nietzsche's concept, and to create some schema to analyze, and review some related artworks.

In this paper, the development of visual music is reviewed. After gaining experience of communication between visual art and music from their artistic creation, and finally completed thevisual and music creation of the"Thus Spoke Zarathustra".

The logic of creating visual music is to convert music and sound effects into corresponding visual expressions. Through synesthesia between different senses, the infiltration of music is closely induced, thereby generating tension in visual expression, and strengthening liaison between visual art and music. At the end of this research, variations of color and light between the visible sound and the audible music is added to produce a full expression of sounds and visual images.

The main purpose of this research is to explore three areas: 1. How to communicate between different senses and languages across domains? 2. How to create conceptual object without physical object? 3. How to transform and present Interdisciplinary Arts? The virtual space and dimensional performance of the “Three Metamorphoses” and “Eternal Return” are conveyed through the method of conceptual objects, which is also the process of constructing positive thinking for self-transcendence.
