What is the place of materiality - the expression or condition of a physical substance - in our visual age of rapidly changing materials and media? How is it fashioned in the arts or manifested in technology? In Surface, cultural critic and theorist Giuliana Bruno deftly explores these questions, seeking to understand materiality in the contemporary world. Arguing that materiality is not a question of the materials themselves but rather the substance of material relations, Bruno investigates the space of those relations, examining how they appear on the surface of different media - for example, on movie, television, or computer screens or on the skin of buildings and people. The object of visual studies, she insists, goes well beyond the image, and she contends that the contact between people and objects occurs on the surface. Through this tangible contact, we apprehend the art object and space of art. As such, Bruno threads through the surfaces of images, emphasizing the actual fabrics of the visual - the surface condition, the textural manifestation, the support of a work, and the way in which it is sited, whether on a canvas, a wall, or a screen.

In performing these critical operations on the surface, she articulates it as a site in which different forms of mediation and transformation can take place. Surveying object relations across art, architecture, fashion, design, film, and new media, Surface is a magisterial account of contemporary visual culture.

Giuliana Bruno is professor of visual and environmental studies at Harvard University. Her books include Public Intimacy: Architecture and the Visual Arts and Atlas of Emotion: Journeys in Art, Architecture, and Film.

很有启发，研究的视角和案例都很好。讨论的是画布、屏幕和建筑三者如何相互转换。先从布料讲起，用王家卫《花样年华》里衣服和布帘元素为例子，讲这些具有物质性的材质/纹理表面怎么在影像中被转换为情感关系的载体；接着讲画布、屏幕、建筑表面通过投影和光效连接、合并。建筑表面可为屏幕，屏幕亦可构成建筑空间；接着还讲到银幕的考古学，提醒回到博物馆中激活屏幕放映（早期电影亦如此）。不少装置艺术探索了银幕所具有的复杂位置和变体，从而重塑银幕与空间之间的物质关系。整本书用的理论资源主要是德勒兹的“褶皱”，承袭了德，非常注意将人与环境的互动总结为“触觉性的审美体验”。总之，表面从各种不同材质中延伸出来，带来了物质关系的转换，而人通过感官的综合，在与物质体之间有/无形的接触中创造出新的情感与记忆，使表面成为媒介。
