碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 103 === The research revolves around the concept of Cyborg (short for “cybernetic organism), meaning the synthesis of machines and lifeforms, and explores the correlation between the aforesaid by integrating the author’s love for animal paintings and wildest imagination for mechanical lifeforms. Through the study in cybernetic organism, this research presents the significance behind the notion of Cyborg. However, as there have been many types and forms of cyborgic lifeforms, the research focuses solely on cybernetic horses in which the author has had an interest since young, and presents a more in-depth interpretation of cyborgic aesthetics through the synthesis of horses and mechanical forms. This research demonstrates the beauty of cybernetic science and organic lifeforms and turns the aforesaid into the aesthetics of Cyborg, thereby giving Cyborg the possibility of a new interpretation. The research is closely related to the series of paintings – the paintings mainly focus on visual experience through the depiction of horses and machines in cyborgic forms. The author also wishes to enhance the semblance of horses through the study in Cyborg, so as to give mechanical forms and horses a new manifestation, which helps to stimulate the author’s future mode of creativity. This research explores the combination of mechanical and life forms, as well as the significances behind it, through four series of paintings. Each series is different in terms of composition and aspects of significance – to discover the correlation of Cyborg with lifeforms, environments, the past and the future. In the four series of paintings, cyborgic aesthetics will be depicted through the portrayals of horses, while mechanical forms are gradually transmogrified. The exploration and discovery of various themes also reflects the author’s creative inspirations and points out the direction for future research.
