From Cultural Hybridity to the Dialogue of Body and Spirit: A Contemporary Art Inquiry into Gisèle Vienne’s 「Crowd」

从文化混杂到灵肉对话：Gisèle Vienn「Crowd」的当代艺术探索

This paper examines 「Crowd」 by Gisèle Vienne in the context of globalization and technological advancements, exploring cultural hybridity and social functions. By integrating theories of Cultural Hybridity, Time-Space Compression, and the Hyperlinked Era, this study analyzes how 「Crowd」 employs the interaction between dance and electronic music to illustrate the negotiation of cultural identity, the impact of technological logic on individual temporal experiences, and the cultural dilemmas induced by capitalist acceleration. The concept of “Dialogue Between Spirit and Flesh” is introduced to explain the dynamic negotiation between collective behavior and individual resistance among the performers. This dialogue manifests not only in the tension between the body and technological discipline but also in the way the stage as a “Third Space” reconfigures identity. The study finds that 「Crowd」 is not merely an artistic representation of cultural hybridity but a critical intervention in contemporary cultural negotiation models, demonstrating how art constructs new sites of meaning in the era of globalization and prompts audiences to reconsider social identity and temporal experience.
