数智时代重解人工智能“灵韵”的消逝与重现

Reinterpreting the Vanishing and Resurgence of Artificial Intelligence’s “Aura” in the Digital Age

Addressing the challenges facing the creative subjects, definitions of authenticity, and value assessment criteria for cultural works in the AI era, this study centers on Walter Benjamin's concept of“aura.”Integrating Western Marxism and Frankfurt School theories, it analyzes the impact of mechanical reproduction technology and AI on artistic aura. Findings reveal that while mechanical reproduction erodes traditional artistic aura, it endows art with political and liberatory potential; while AI-generated works raise concerns about the“disempowerment”of human creators, aura can be re-established through human-machine collaboration and novel aesthetic experiences enabled by technologies like VR, the metaverse, and blockchain. This research provides theoretical insights for clarifying the roots of artistic value in the digital age and promoting the healthy development of arts and culture, while also offering new perspectives for exploring Marxist theoretical research pathways suited to China’s national conditions.

针对人工智能时代文化作品创作主体、原真性定义及价值评判标准面临的挑战，以瓦尔特・本雅明（Walter Benjamin）的“灵韵”（aura）概念为核心，结合西方马克思主义与法兰克福学派理论，分析机械复制技术及AI 对艺术灵韵的影响。研究发现，机械复制虽导致传统艺术灵韵消逝，却赋予艺术政治化与解放性潜能；AI 生成作品虽引发人类创作主体“失权”担忧，但通过VR、元宇宙、区块链等技术，灵韵可依托人机协作与新型审美体验复现。研究为厘清数智时代艺术价值根源、推动艺术文化健康发展提供理论参考，也为探索符合中国国情的马克思主义理论研究路径提供新的视角。
