The developer solution of history
The modern life is too fast to lose lots of our culture and traditions, and to decrease our sense on time and historical memories. The craze of retro and nostalgia has made our experience of space and time staggered frequently. The digital technology has become more and more popular, also we use virtual technology to imitate historical scene as a new image has increased frequently, and it is difficult to distinguish from an original edition and a remake. The ambiguity of the text has become much important because the rising of the Postmodernism in this modern society. All of these promote the artists quote the file data from a variety of period, and then transform the famous image/text become a whole new meaning.
In addition, the developing media makes the reproduction more complex. The modern people receive information from a variety of media, and our interpretation of history has been mixed with our attitude on the media. This influence on creation is a topic worth of study.
This paper reviewed the time and memory behind nostalgia and retro pop, with the media evolution on historical memories, also analyzed creations on context of representative creation of historical archives as main inspiration; and then discussed the background of this rising situation and developing trends and the problems need to overcome in Taiwan. In this paper one can found our knowledge on history is influenced by the "collective memory" and imagination about the unfamiliar past. I used historical archives as materials, combined with repeated stimulating on sensory perceptions in my series of works, to demonstrate historical memory changed like an after-image through the transform of media.
I sincerely hope that this paper could make more people pay attention on our sense of historical memories changed under future media environment and I wish there will be more people follow closely to all the relational creations.
