碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 應用設計研究所 === 95 === Because of attending rave party, the author is attracted by expression of vision. But the newspapers and media regard "Rave" culture and "Ecstasy" as the same thing. Therefore, the author tries to explain and analyze it systematically, and lead each reader to see this culture and art at the other side. So first stage of this research collects related references, and the main content consists of: (1) The origin of "Rave", (2) Current situation and development "Rave" in Taiwan and overseas, and (3) The vision art categorization of the Rave culture. The second stage is the selection and analysis of the samples. For the active space which personally participation and collection of domestic and foreign flyers, the author makes some discussion and the classification to analysis this research easily. The third stage discusses its visual psychology according to image significance of classified samples. After discussing the front three stages reorganizations induction, the forth stage develops the possibility and the method of other related creations to help future persons working on the related design. From historic researches, "Rave" culture mainly emphasizes the essence of "PLUR"; "P" represents "Peace", "L" represents "Love", "U" represents "Unity", and "R" represents "Respect". From the collection of flyers of vision art of rave culture and discussion with six members by KJ method , we categorize flyers: personage series; molecule series;(space, celestial, UFO, andsaucerman) series; sun series；(flower and mushroom) series; surf series；cartoons series；(religion and fable)series；pyramid series ；insect series；fractal series；Optical art series, which are 12 styles. We induce vocabulary of flyer topic: personage series brings people famed and star-endorsed; molecule series brings people biochemical and technologic; ;(space, celestial, UFO, andsaucerman) series brings people future, unknown, and mysterious; sun series brings people hopeful and bright; (flower and mushroom) series brings people spring-like, florescent, and illusional; surf series brings people wavy; cartoons series brings people adorable and childlike; (religion and fable) series brings people mysterious, born, old, ill, and dying; pyramid series brings people permanent; insect series brings people flying and free; fractal series brings people illusional, vertical, and electric; Optical art series brings people illusional and spatial. By analyzing flyers of vision art of rave culture, we find the hopeful and bright essences in sun series, and the flying and free essences in insect series are close to spirits of "Love" and "Peace". But "Unity" and "Respect" are not obviously related to flyers of rave. Only a few(religion and fable)series appear respectful. This research does first step study just in the Flyer of the vision art in Rave culture, and its cultural spirit and vision expression of Flyer have similar and different point. To what degree they can influence? We will do more advanced test statistics and analysis later.
