當流動科技闖進藝術殿堂：從博物館視聽導覽之使用談其對藝文消費之介入

When Mobile Technology Enters the Temple of Art: Incorporating Museum Audio Guides into the Consumption of Art

如同手機流動科技展現了社會的流動現代性，博物館的視聽導覽同樣展演了物質文化、流動科技與社會性的複雜交織。援引行動者網絡理論，本研究將使用視聽導覽的參觀者當作人機組裝體，並探討引入「影音」時間性如何轉變了空間式的博物館「展覽複合體」與藝文參觀的速度政治。最後討論使用導覽所需的文化、經濟與社會資本，思考流動科技中介對藝文接收實踐之影響。透過田野觀察與深度訪談法，本研究以2007－8年台北故宮的「華麗巴洛克：偉大的哈布斯堡收藏家—來自維也納藝術史博物館之鉅作」展為展覽個案。

As mobile technologies are applied to perform the fluid mobility of the social, museum audio guides facilitate the complex interaction among material culture, mobility, and society. Based on actor-network theory, this study considered the user of audio guides to be both a human and a nonhuman hybrid assembly. I examined the process of how an audio guide combines narrated text with a temporal rhythm to transform the museum as a spatial 'exhibitionary complex'. Thus, audio guides introduce a new speed politics in museum visiting. Finally, I analyzed the cultural, economic, and social capital of users employing audio guides as a mobile technology. This research was based on the observation and in-depth interviews of visitors to the 'Splendour of the Baroque and Beyond' exhibition at the National Palace Museum in Taipei between October 2007 and February 2008.
