幻觉的触觉:从绘画“制作过程”到“非人图像”的媒介转化路径研究

The Tactility of Illusion:A Study on the Medium Transformation Path From the “Facture” of Painting to the “Nonhuman Image”

在绘画、摄影与电影的媒介转换过程中, 图像的“人之维度”正逐步被技术机制与光学操作所重构。本文以恩斯特·卡莱伊 (Ern Kállai) 对“制作过程” (facture) 与“触觉价值” (tactile value) 的强调, 和拉兹洛·莫霍利·纳吉 (Moholy-Nagy László) 关于光影逻辑与“机械幻想” (mechanische Fantasie) 的再定义为理论起点, 考察图像如何从依赖人类手工与物质感知的“人类图像”, 演变为依赖算法、机械装置和观看系统控制的“非人图像” (nonhuman image) 。文章指出, 静态摄影 (statischen fotografie) 作为过渡媒介切断了传统绘画中的触觉延续性, 却也为电影构建了更加复杂的时间感知与空间运动结构, 催生出“操作图像” (operational image) 的先声。进一步地, 本文将东方图像传统如山水画的“无我”构图、“道法自然”视觉经验, 与现代AI生成图像比较, 提出“非人图像”并非西方数码时代的独有产物, 而是媒介哲学、感知结构与观看伦理三者共同作用的历史结晶。文章尝试在图像“去人性化”的进程中寻找一种更为多元的视觉思想, 为当下图像理论提供来自中国经验的哲学补充。

In the shifting media landscape from painting to photography and cinema, the “human dimension” of the image is increasingly restructured by technological mechanisms and optical operations. Beginning with Ernst Kállai’s emphasis on facture and tactile value, contrasted with László Moholy-Nagy’s redefinition of image-making through mechanische Fantasie (mechanical fantasy) , this paper explores the transformation from materially grounded, hand-produced imagery to nonhuman images governed by algorithms, machines, and systemic viewing structures. Static photography (statischen fotografie) is examined as a transitional medium that disrupts the tactile continuity of painting, while paving the way for cinema’s dynamic spatial-temporal logic and the early forms of operational images. The analysis expands into comparative perspectives by incorporating traditional Chinese visual systems, such as wuwo (non-self) composition in landscape painting and Dao Fa Ziran (道法自然) as an epistemic mode of seeing. By juxtaposing these with AI-generated images, the paper argues that nonhuman images are not solely products of Western digital modernity, but historical outcomes of evolving relations between media, perception, and ethical vision. The article attempts to find a more diverse visual idea in the process of “dehumanizing” images, providing philosophical supplements from Chinese experience for current image theory.
