Technology brings convenience and plenty of possibilities to life. In the meantime, modern media provides arts with new materials and chances of combination among different fields. On the other hand, the development of technology gives the issue of over-urbanization. Over-urbanization makes people rush their everyday life. Therefore, it is getting more and more difficult for people to spend enough time to get below the surface of everything’s value; such as the shape of commodities, people’s dressing, package of products and so forth. It eventually forms contemporary social sense of value.

The work of “Defacement” emerged from my own perception. It combines videos, interactive installations, sounds, instant transportation, and finally displays by interactive installations. This paper contains five sections of Introduction, literature review, methodology, conception and conclusions. Based on the media used and conception of creation, the literature begins with “what is new media art?” Then it leads into discussion and research of the development, attributes, concept of new media art, and the characteristic, application, connection of media. It also analyzes the topic about bodies, deconstruction, nihility and reality in new media art. Finally, it engages the results of discussion, research and analysis with the conception of creation step by step.

The main conception of “Defacement” is the reconstruction of the monitored environment in today’s life. The audiences touch the sensor unconsciously. Scanners capture their appearances and actions. Then it deconstructs and re-combines the pictures with sounds and displays by interactive installations. During the audiences’ interaction with this work, they not only realize the creator’s perspective, but also find out that the appearance by sight gradually influences the tracks of life. This display of motive graphics shows the twist of people’s appearance because of contemporary social sense of value. It recalls people to deconstruct image and emphasize self consciousness.
