「科技娛人與愚人」之黑色幽默插畫創作研究

在人類文明發展過程中，科技扮演重要的角色，而科技的進步為社會帶來了許多變革，例如交通運輸的便利、傳統工作的改變以及新的社交方式和不同的生活習慣等，進而導致工作環境的改變、工作時間的增加和生活中的壓力增加，隨著網路科技的發達各式各樣的電子產品出現，令人們的生活更加便利之餘， 出現許多電子產品成癮的案例，人們開始在各方面依賴科技，這些因素都與「文明病」有關。 科技始於輔佐人類，發展至今卻開始出現本末倒置的現象，根據衛生福利部前10大死因的統計數據，110年有超過5項死因屬於「生活習慣病」，顯示出生活習慣病對台灣國人的生命威脅日益增加。人們在食衣住行育樂各方面與網路科技密不可分，在使用正當的情況下科技發展使我們成長進步，但當我們對此產生依賴、成癮，就容易產生負面的影響。文明病漸漸分歧出了新的名詞科技文明病（Technological Civilization Diseases），是指由於現代科技發展和普及所導致的健康問題，這對健康帶來了新的挑戰。自身因接觸網路工作而導致需長期使用科技產品，漸漸感覺到身體上的變化帶來困擾，才得知科技文明病的相關知識議題，因此本創作研究針對科技文明病現象進行研究探討，並進行插畫創作，希望藉此引人省思改善科技文明病的發生及普及率，藉由《科技娛人與愚人》傳達科技對於人類的利害之處，並用普普風鮮豔、強烈及反映時下大眾文化之特點進行插畫創作，使用黑色幽默的手法傳達，透過作品畫面呈現本創作者省思的現代社會中科技文明病之現象，達到下列目的：（一）透過研究探討現代科技發展趨勢，對人的生活型態變化之優劣處。（二）以黑色幽默之手法表現社會因過度依賴科技而產生的病態,荒謬現象，使作品看似滑稽有趣，背後隱藏的卻是普及且危害身心靈的病症，警惕大眾。（三）將藝術與社會議題結合，建立藝術與社會交流的橋樑，倡導數位健康知識。希望能帶給社會大眾健康的科技使用知識，警醒觀者注意議題之嚴重性，別讓科技文明病日益嚴重。

In the process of human civilization development, technology plays an important role, and the advancement of technology has brought many changes to society, such as the convenience of transportation, changes in traditional work, new forms of social interaction, and different lifestyle habits. These, in turn, have led to changes in the work environment, increased working hours, and heightened stress in daily life. With the development of internet technology and the emergence of various electronic products, people's lives have become more convenient. However, this has also led to many cases of electronic product addiction. People have started to rely on technology in many aspects of their lives, and these factors are closely related to "civilization diseases."Technology originally began as a tool to assist humanity, but over time, it has started to cause a reversal of priorities. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's statistics on the top 10 causes of death, more than five of the causes in 2021 were related to "lifestyle diseases," showing the increasing threat that lifestyle diseases pose to the lives of Taiwanese people. People are deeply intertwined with internet technology in their daily lives, from food, clothing, housing, transportation, to entertainment and education. When used appropriately, technological development helps us grow and progress, but when we become dependent on it or addicted, it can have negative effects.Civilization diseases have gradually given rise to a new term: "Technological Civilization Diseases," which refers to health issues caused by the development and widespread use of modern technology. This brings new challenges to public health. As a person who has had to use technology products for long periods due to work involving the internet, I have gradually noticed physical changes that cause discomfort, leading me to learn about the topic of technological civilization diseases. Therefore, this creative research aims to explore and investigate the phenomenon of technological civilization diseases through illustration. The goal is to provoke thought and raise awareness about the occurrence and prevalence of these diseases. The work "Technology: The Entertainer and Fool" seeks to communicate the advantages and disadvantages of technology for humanity, using a pop art style with vivid, bold colors and characteristics reflecting contemporary popular culture. The illustrations are created with a touch of black humor, portraying the phenomenon of technological civilization diseases in modern society through the artist's reflections. The objectives are as follows:
1. To explore the trends in modern technological development and the pros and cons of how these changes affect human lifestyles.
2. To use black humor to depict the pathological and absurd phenomena that arise from excessive dependence on technology, making the work appear amusing at first glance, but with a deeper message about the widespread and harmful effects on physical and mental health, warning the public.
3. To combine art with social issues, building a bridge for communication between art and society, and promoting digital health knowledge. The aim is to raise awareness about healthy technology usage and to alert the audience to the severity of the issue, preventing the further worsening of technological civilization diseases.
