- Abstract
The prosperity of mass culture in the consumption era makes public art present many different characteristics from the past. The secular characteristics of mass culture representations are first manifested in that it no longer only pays attention to issues such as the sublime, the sacred, and the classics that can’t be touched and only be admired in a far view. The phenomenon of “de-differentiation” in mass culture has blurred many boundaries of public art. As an open and emerging art, it encompasses many art categories, exists in various public spaces and places, and is integrated into social life with its interactive characteristics. It promotes cultural democracy in terms of interaction and visualization, and eliminates the inequality caused by people’s knowledge level in cultural consumption. This paper analyzes the characteristics of public art in the consumption era, proposes the method of reshaping public art that adapts to the current situation, namely, the three directions of cultural breakthrough, multiple interaction and context retention, and takes the atrium landscape of the teaching building of Xiamen Academy of Arts and Design as an example to apply the research conclusions in practice.
