In New Philosophy for New Media, Mark Hansen defines the image in digital art in terms that go beyond the merely visual. Arguing that the "digital image" encompasses the entire process by which information is made perceivable, he places the body in a privileged position -- as the agent that filters information in order to create images. By doing so, he counters prevailing notions of technological transcendence and argues for the indispensability of the human in the digital era.Hansen examines new media art and theory in light of Henri Bergson's argument that affection and memory render perception impure -- that we select only those images precisely relevant to our singular form of embodiment. Hansen updates this argument for the digital age, arguing that we filter the information we receive to create images rather than simply receiving images as preexisting technical forms. This framing function yields what Hansen calls the "digital image." He argues that this new "embodied" status of the frame corresponds directly to the digital revolution: a digitized image is not a fixed representation of reality, but is defined by its complete flexibility and accessibility. It is not just that the interactivity of new media turns viewers into users; the image itself has become the body's process of perceiving it.To illustrate his account of how the body filters information in order to create images, Hansen focuses on new media artists who follow a "Bergsonist vocation"; through concrete engagement with the work of artists like Jeffrey Shaw, Douglas Gordon, and Bill Viola, Hansen explores the contemporary aesthetic investment in the affective, bodily basis of vision. The book includes over 70 illustrations (in both black and white and color) from the works of these and many other new media artists.

对Manovich的批判很经典

最大的阅读启发在于回答所谓新媒体的新（Newness），到底新在何处。不再是笛卡尔式对“灵”的赞美，而是转向了向来被轻视的肉身。

作者以柏格森的身体理论为基础，探讨了新媒体艺术中技术媒介与感知的问题。身体与外界客体无法切分，是一种一元的、充满相互作用的、从中进行协调的行动中心（不确定的、绵延的中心）。在新的技术环境下，技术作为身体的延伸不断重构着人类感知信息的范式，此时身体在信息摄入的过程中起到了“过滤器”的作用- 以一种特定的方式感知被感知物。 作者例举不少新媒体艺术家的作品，展现了当代艺术中对这一哲学思考的回应。比如利用数字技术对某些图像进行编辑，我们大脑中对于相似物的记忆就会被唤醒，继而因其反常的形象激发身体对图像的“情动”作用。。
