書風漸變的動力觀

Dynamic Development of Calligraphic Writing

當代書法或手寫文字風氣朝圖像發展，造成整體構成講究視覺效果，內容則多抄襲傳統詩文，是明顯的特徵。分析這一現象，前者或在於當代書寫閱讀的電子工具及其傳輸速度；後者則是書法作為綜合傳達人文藝術思想，及其產出的文人階級的解散有關。從工具論的角度來看，文字作為文化載體，則文字使用的現象，可以做為社會變遷的觀察及預測，如果文字是作者意志思想的外顯形式，在當代因為網路效應，其傳播流量之速度及廣度皆為從前所難想像，個人意志可以瞬間膨脹，傳統上，寄望文字永久流傳以為精神生命延續的時間觀，正被短暫所謂網路爆紅的空間膨脹取代，傳統書寫記錄人書俱老的歷程，兼有非目的性內省的涵養又能對事應用的功能，如今逐漸轉成文字設計的消費應用，文字修辭在理解上的隱喻功能退成線條構成圖像的瞬間感受，造成大量複製及待理解的碎片資訊充斥在日常生活，當代書寫語境的去歷史現象－歷史感的缺乏，讓人產生除了當下，不再有遙遠從前的存在錯覺，因為書寫類型多元，所以選擇不同的書寫方式，已成為當代創作及日常生活的價值問題。

Modern calligraphy is trending towards a visual-focused art, featuring an emphasis on visual effects while its content is usually copied from traditional literature. On analysis, the former could be due to modern reading-and-writing electronic devices and transmission speeds, and the latter due to the change in the role of calligraphy as the carrier of the humanities and arts, and the dispersion of literati class. So far as the medium is concerned, words are culture's carrier. Thus, the way words are used can be observed and predicted for society's change. If words are the explicit form of authors' thoughts, the transmission speed and reach created by the internet are beyond imagination in contemporary society. An individual's will can inflate instantly. Conventionally, the element of words was to transcend the writers' spiritual lives through space and time, whereas now it has been replaced with being short-lived viral hits on the internet. Previous ways of writing record how humans age with books. It not only has unintended self-reflection function but also displays applicability well. Yet the essence has slowly shifted its focus towards commercialization. The metaphorical function in figure of speech has degenerated into a sudden impression of line-constructed image. This phenomenon results in mass duplicates and fragmented information ubiquitously in daily life that await deciphering. The dehistoricization of modern writing creates an illusion of non-existence of the past but only the here and now. Since writing types are now diversified, choosing a certain way to write has become a value dilemma for modern works and daily lives.
