Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in aesthetic experience according to the level of audience participation. Flow experience and aesthetic distance were utilized as proxies for aesthetic experience. A total of 70 undergraduates participated in the experiments of this study. In terms of flow experience, active participation groups were found to have relatively greater flow experiences compared to contemplation groups and passive participation groups. However, there was no difference in flow experience between the contemplation groups and the passive participation groups. In light of aesthetic distance, which means psychological distance, people in active participation groups were found to have a closer psychological distance from artwork than those in contemplation groups and passive participation groups. Also, those who belonged to the passive participation group showed a closer psychological distance than the contemplation group. The results of this study provide artists and art organizations with implications for enhancing audience attraction as well as the completeness of artwork.

본 연구의 목적은 관객의 참여수준에 따른 미적경험의 차이를 탐색하는 것이다. 미적경험을 대변하는 변수로써 몰입경험과 미적거리가 활용되었다. 총 70명의 학부생들이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 몰입경험의 측면에서, 적극적 참여집단은 관조집단 및 소극적 참여집단과 비교하여 상대적으로 더 큰 몰입경험을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 관조집단과 소극적 참여집단 사이에 몰입의 차이는 존재하지 않았다. 심리적 거리를 의미하는 미적거리의 측면에서, 적극적 참여집단의 사람들은 관조집단과 소극적 참여집단에 비하여 예술작품과 심리적으로 더 가까운 거리를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 소극적 참여집단에 속한 사람들은 관조집단 보다 더 가까운 심리적 거리를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 예술가 및 예술조직에게 작품의 완성도뿐만 아니라 관객 유인력을 높이기 위한 함의를 제공한다.
