黑暗中漫舞：當代藝術邁向友善平權的可能性

Dancing in the Dark: The Possibility of Access & Social Inclusion in Contemporary Art

本篇研究旨在探討當代視覺藝術工作者，在友善平權的概念之下，重新思考展覽實踐的能動性。以視障團體參觀體驗臺北數位藝術中心所舉辦之當代科技藝術創作作品《聲洄》展覽為行動研究之個案，探討視障參觀者在直接面對當代藝術作品進行感官體驗時，可能規劃的方式。研究結果顯示，視障觀眾與一般觀眾的參觀需求，在獲取資訊上的方式上有所不同，然而，透過藝術工作者於展覽規劃或展品創作期間，邀請專家學者參與意見，將有機會能夠擴大藝術體驗對象的範圍，將多元觀眾的需求納入思考與規劃流程，透過具體可能的展示方式，落實博物館真正的文化近用，並促進社會平權的可能性。

This research aims to explore contemporary visual art practitioners, under the concept of access & social inclusion, to rethink the dynamics of exhibition practice. Taking the visually impaired group to visit and experience the contemporary digital artwork ''Melody of Motion'' in Digital Art Center, Taipei as a case of action research, it explores ways of planning conducted by visually impaired visitors regarding their sensory experience derived from direct contacts of contemporary art works. The results of the study show that regarding the assistive of accessing information, the needs of visually impaired audiences are different from those of general audiences. However, by inviting experts and scholars to give input during the exhibition planning or exhibition creation, curators and artists will have the opportunity to provide access of diverse audiences, incorporating their needs into the thinking and planning process. With substantial and applicable means of exhibition, it is possible to actualize the authentic functions of museums to promote access and social inclusion.
