后现代的形象工业在第二次世界大战之后悄然出现,在近半个世纪的发展历程中制造出了种种视觉幻象和视觉奇观,极大地改变了图像时代的地形图。摄影艺术、绘画艺术和博物馆陈列,是后现代形象工业的重要生产线。它们分别以自己不同于现代主义艺术的方式制造了碎片化的、拼贴式的视觉形象,改变了我们的感知方式和观看之道,折射出了后现代社会转型中时空快速转换和压缩所造成的感知与表达方式的深刻裂变。
The image industry of postmodernity arose quietly after the Second World War. In nearly half a century of development, it has produced a variety of visual illusions and spectacles, which greatly changed the landscape in the postmodern age. Photography, painting and museum display have become the important production lines of the image industry of postmodernity. They produced the fragmented and collaged visual images in the way distnguised from the modernist art and changed our perception and viewing,which reflected the deep fission of the modes of perception and expression caused by the fast conversion of time and space and time-space compression in the social transformation of postmodernity.
