Abstract

Public art in contemporary times is also facing the challenge and test of digitalization, digital technology has an impact on the morphological characteristics of public art, technical creation and the construction of public spirit, and the morphology, technology and public spirit are the important aggregation and embodiment of the interface of digital public art. The transformation of the interface of public art in the digital era has evolved from the traditional “discourse” form emphasizing inter-subjectivity to a new digital interface relationship composed of the virtual body of data and emerging media. Contemporary digital public art attempts to use data, materials and algorithms while also wrapping traditional materials, crafts and forms, so the reconstruction of the “interface” of digital public art has brought about a comprehensive upgrading and functional transformation of the form, ethics and digital public space, and the spirit of the public is also faced with the challenges of the digital impact and big-data capitalism at present. Public spirit is also facing the challenges of digital impact and big data capitalism, and the potential crisis after the transition of all consumer cultures from the production of capital to the production of desire, which further emphasizes the relationship between the “public sphere”, the “universal common sense” and the “spiritual community” and digital public art. This also further emphasizes the relationship between “public sphere”, “universal common feeling” and “spiritual community” and digital public art, and presupposes the dissolution of the public spirit of classical liberalism and the return of the public spirit of Marx’s political philosophy to public art in the current digital era.
