The Expression and Study of Light and Shadow Aesthetics in New Media Installation Art

Abstract

This study examines the aesthetics of light and shadow in new media installation art, with a focus on the innovative application of light and shadow as core elements of artistic expression and their cultural significance. It explores how the fusion of technology and art enables light and shadow to create immersive sensory experiences, offering new dimensions for contemporary artistic creation. Using a case study approach, the research analyzes representative new media installations to investigate their aesthetic characteristics, technological applications, and audience experiences. The findings reveal that the aesthetics of light and shadow not only enhance visual impact but also amplify the cultural narrative and emotional resonance of artworks through interaction with technology. As a medium, light and shadow demonstrate unique advantages in shaping immersive environments and enhancing audience engagement. Additionally, they present new opportunities for applications in entertainment, cultural communication, and urban space design.
