As the digital age comes, it brings revolutionary impact on the artistic field and totally changes the face of art. Indeed, the technologic innovation and digital products provide the modern artists with great tools to overcome the limitations of time and space. Through the new technology, artists are free to travel around the real imagination, and enable to represent various possibilities of time and space. The serial work of “Recreate”, including “the pictorial memory of life”, “parallel existence” and “a facial log”, try to transfer both the broken memory and the real imagination to recreate real virtual image by using the new media technique of copy and compression. The concern of human life is the main focus of this work, which composed by “Life, Time, Compression”, the three factors. Beyond viewing the realization of life, this serial work also intends to find different meanings of feeling and memory. The whole progress is a presentation of “memory recreation”. This thesis intends not only to describe the connotation and performance of author’s work, but also to reveal an idea, that is the possibility for art in the technological age with a reflection of humanism. Rather than being a necessary element of art, technology is just one of wide choice to enrich artistic performance. Therefore, the digital art should not get away from the main spirit of art, such as human nature and creativity. The artists in the digital age ought to pay more attention to put the new media technique to good use for expressing their concept, and afford the observers a newer experience to redefine and imagine the world. For the use of technology itself can no longer be thought as the technical advantage or the brightness of virtual image, the creation of art should not be limited by technique. Actually, the main point of new media art is not based on the innovation of technology, but revealing a new observation and rethink for modern culture. That is what artists ought to consider.
