碩士 === 長榮大學 === 視覺藝術研究所 === 94 === Many artistic creators take the genuine presentation of themselves as the major idea of creation. The purpose of artistic creation is to reflect the subjective mental feelings of the creator, to create a connection between the unspeakable things hidden under the image and the appreciators through artistic presentation; this connection is just the genuine feelings and ideas that the creators want to show and transfer. By showing the things hidden in the artworks to the association of thoughts by the appreciators, the interaction between the creators, the artworks and the appreciators is formed. Phenomenology philosopher Heidegger considers: the existence of a human being is necessarily “concerning or involving” others, i.e., “I” exist by the recognition of others. My existence is not just for “I think”, but for interaction with others, and only by the recognition of others can I exist in the recognition of the others. Therefore, artistic creation is the communication between the consciousnesses of people, or to “materializing” aesthetic imago at the bottom the mind to a substantial realistic artwork through artistic creation; it is to endow the imago with image through labor, and then the appreciators think and assume the spiritual connotation created by the creators. The image produced in the mind of the appreciators is actually the “appearance” of “ideas” of the creators in the form of realistic materials, it is a process of “qualitative change”; The “Phainein” of the creators’ “ideas” through substantial image is a spiritual communication, a “phenomenon”. Therefore, artistic creation is the “desire” of human being both in term of the communication between the consciousness of different people and the seeking for spiritual comfort and satisfaction. While “desire” is the nature of human being, we express our ideas and mind through various material media just because of the “desire”. Therefore, artistic creation is a instrument for consciousness communication between different people, artworks are media to deliver information: communicating the experience of life of “human being”.
