Technological change leads to a value shift in human society. Various cultural experiences through the digital paradigm influence the expression of fashion. This article considers fashion film as a new form for presenting fashion and explores the distinctiveness of expression in digital fashion film. For the methodology, a literature review was conducted to examine the concepts and features of digital fashion film and metareality. Empirical research was also performed by drawing from Nick Knight's digital films, "Sans Couture", "#asif", and "The Elegant Universe" and by specifically analyzing the classification of the themes, visuals, and auditory expression. The results are as follows. The proliferation of fashion film has accelerated in the internet environment. New media in the digital era allows images to become more realistic and variable through immaterial conversion. Metareality is the notion of a reality beyond existence. A metarealistic image maintains the metaphysical nature of an object and transcends empirical appearance. It possesses immaterial, transboundary, and multidimensional features, and the image is realized by digital technology. The expression analysis identifies the metareality expressed in contemporary fashion film appearing as atypical forms, irrational combinations, and the playfulness of motion. It shows a positive attitude, transcending the immaterial limit of reality toward fashion. This study indicates how fashion as products challenges the metaphysical transformation in the digital era. The exploration of metareality in digital fashion film promotes a wider perspective and understanding of the concept of fashion.

Differently from instruments which synthesized sounds and tones in the past, voice synthesis engine for music production has reached to the level of creating music as if actual artists were singing. It uses the samples of human voices naturally connected to the different levels of phoneme within the frequency range. Voice synthesis engine is not simply limited to the music production but it is changing cultural paradigm through the second creations of new music type including character music concerts, media productions, albums, and mobile services. Currently, voice synthesis engine technology makes it possible that users input pitch, lyrics, and musical expression parameters through the score editor and they mix and connect voice samples brought from the database to sing. New music types derived from such a development of computer music has sparked a big impact culturally. Accordingly, this paper attempts to examine the specific case studies and the synthesis technologies for users to understand the voice synthesis engine more easily, and it will contribute to their variety of music production.

Animation in Taiwan has been profoundly influenced by the production of labor intensity for American and Japanese in the early days of its development. This phenomenon of the labor intensity reached peak in the 1980s. Information Bureau of Taiwan began to establish a system of supportive funding for its animation industry in the 1990s. During this period, the animation industry in Taiwan gave special emphasis to the theme of the local culture and to the creative works of the animation. By the 2010s, the elements of Chinese culture were introduced in the animation production in Taiwan. Through cross-national cooperation in production with other advanced countries, the Taiwan-made animation was successfully expended to the international market. However, the animation industry in Taiwan is facing the following problematical challenges: Firstly, the Taiwan government gives special attention to the financial support of animation industry rather than training university students to become professional experts in animation production. Secondly, there is no professional higher institution established to train specialized professional animation film-makers. Thirdly, Due to the lack of the cultural inspiration and the original mind, the form of its creative animated production is primarily imitated from other advanced countries. And fourthly, despite the fact that there is a cooperation and exchange programs between Taiwan and other foreign animation industries.

The Petroglyph is a drawing on the rock which reflects the art, religion, myth, and life style of prehistoric society. Recently lots of researches have been studied to develop the contents applying the petroglyphs in the fields of exhibition, education, entertainment, and commercial. This research aims to find some possible VR contents based on the petroglyphs text. The review on the Ulsan petroglyph museum which is the first and the only petroglyph museum in Korea was the first step. Some limitation and problems were found in the current contents which could be overcome by using VR technology. The next step was the overall review of VR system and devices, and then I analyzed five cases of VR contents which specifically applied to the cultural heritages. Based on the analysis of case studies I propose some possible VR contents more immersive and interactive covered with whole range of petroglyphs context, environmental, social, cultural, technical and artistic.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술이 문화예술 분야에 접목되면서 수동적이었던 전시 관람 형태가 능동적인 관람 형태로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 지능형 가이드 시스템의 등장은 기존의 관람 문화를 크게 변화시켰다. 지능형 가이드 시스템이란 사용자에게 전시물에 대한 정보 및 전시장의 위치 정보를 제공해주는 시스템을 말한다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 지능형 가이드 시스템은 크게 휴대폰, PDA, 게임기 등의 휴대형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템과 HMD와 같은 착용형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템으로 나뉠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현재 상용화된 시스템들의 한계(예를 들어, 특정 장치를 직접 착용 혹은 소지해야 함)를 서술하고, 이를 보완하는 프로젝터 기반의 가이드 시스템에서 더 나아가 임의의 공간에 원하는 전시물 구성, 설치 등을 신속, 정확하게 수행하는 지능형 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 프로젝터 기반의 지능형 가이드 시스템은 기반 기술로 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 필요로 하는데, 이는 임의의 환경에서 임의의 위치에 다수의 사용자에게 고화질, 대화면 영상 정보를 제공해 준다. 그러나, 기존의 지능형 프로젝션 기술은 성능 및 안정성을 위해 대부분 가시적인 패턴 및 마커를 사용하는데, 이는 사용자에게 제공되는 정보를 관찰하는 데 방해가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 관점에서 유용한 비간섭 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 사용한다. 즉, 본 논문에서는 마커나 패턴을 사용함으로써 정확성이나 안정성은 보장하지만, 마커나 패턴을 은닉하여 사용자의 눈에 띄지 않도록 함으로써, 사용자는 원하는 정보를 아무런 방해 없이 제공받을 수 있다. 제안된 시스템을 미술 작품 감상을 위한 가이드 시스템으로 적용해 본 결과, 사용자는 자유로운 환경에서 자신의 위치나 작품에 대한 설명을 대화면으로 제공받으면서, 편안하게 그림을 감상할 수 있었다.

This study intended to examine the nature of image which uses the network as the medium in the context of 'post-internet art' and categorize and analyze the cases of applications within art images. In the post-internet art which embraces the background of Web 2.0 and extended digital and network environment, image is transformed and re-mediated into various formats beyond fixed forms. Hito Steyerl defined the image, copied, downloaded, and reedited digitally in low quality as 'poor image.' Young artists, the digital native generation, capture and re-contextualize the changed network environment and depict it in various images. In this context, the application of image in post-internet art can be categorized and analyzed into the 'Image Collected as Material' produced by collecting and recomposing images found in social media, operating system, and website, 'Image Processed through Work' which is newly processed and re-contextualized by using editing programs, and 'Combined Digital-Reality Image' which represents the section of the digital society as the film and image that combine virtuality and reality.
