文章以艺术与地理的共生关系为出发点,提出了一个由“数据媒介-算法生成-多元感知”构成的三维分析框架,用以探讨数字时代艺术地理作品的生成逻辑与感知机制。文章聚焦于城市视觉记录、具身环境表达与人工景观再构3类主要创作议题,分析6件代表性数字艺术作品,揭示出当代艺术地理的关键特征:地理空间数据被转化为艺术创作的物质媒介,算法生成成为空间重构的核心手段,而虚实交织的多感官体验则促使观众在现实世界与数字生态系统之间形成新的栖居方式。数字艺术地理的发展推动了从静态再现到动态生成的范式转型,也促使地理空间被重新理解为数据流、算法逻辑与身体经验的交互过程。这一框架有助于揭示数字艺术中技术与感知、生态与政治的内在关联,说明艺术创作已成为理解数字时代空间生产与人类栖居关系的重要途径。文章不仅为数字艺术的地理解读提供了系统的分析思路,也拓展了人工智能时代的地理批判视野,对数据权力、算法透明性以及生态复杂性被简化等问题提出了反思与回应。

This study, grounded in the symbiotic relationship between art and geography, constructs a three-dimensional analytical framework composed of data media, algorithmic generation, and multisensory perception. The framework aims to investigate how digital technologies reshape modes of spatial production, sensory engagement, and environmental imagination in contemporary art geography. In the digital era, where data, algorithms, and embodied experience intersect, artistic practices have evolved from static spatial representation to dynamic, participatory, and process-oriented forms of geographic expression. By examining six representative digital artworks including Machine Hallucinations: Nature Dreams and Quantum Memories by Refik Anadol, Monte by Luciano Piccilli, The Deep Listener by Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Peace can be Realized Even without Order by teamLab, and I'm Feeling Lucky by Timothy Thomasson, this study delineates three major thematic dimensions of digital art geography: urban visual documentation, embodied environmental expression, and artificial landscape reconstruction. The analysis reveals that contemporary digital art transforms geographical data into creative material media, using algorithms to generate fluid, dynamic spatial representations that transcend traditional boundaries between the physical and the virtual. Through multisensory and immersive interactions, these artworks invite audiences to inhabit hybrid environments in which data flows, algorithmic processes, and bodily perception are intertwined. Such practices articulate a new form of spatial consciousness, in which human beings experience themselves as simultaneously embedded in both natural and digital ecologies. The study identifies three distinctive tendencies: the transition from artificial selection to data-driven narrative in urban visualization, the shift from philosophical abstraction to informational reconstruction in environmental expression, and the evolution from static fixation to responsive symbiosis in artificial landscape creation. Beyond formal innovation, these transformations embody deeper epistemological and political implications. Digital art geography reveals how data infrastructures, algorithmic systems, and technological mediation carry implicit forms of power that shape perception and representation. The artworks analyzed demonstrate that data are never neutral; rather, they participate in constructing spatial hierarchies and determining who can access, interpret, or intervene in digital landscapes. This study thus extends the critical scope of art geography by engaging with pressing issues of the artificial intelligence era, such as data sovereignty, algorithmic transparency, and the ethical tension between human-centered perception and ecological complexity. In conclusion, digital art geography represents not merely a technological advancement in artistic media but also a profound transformation in the human relationship with space, environment, and information. By integrating artistic creativity with geographic inquiry, the "data medium-algorithmic generation-multisensory perception" framework provides an effective methodological tool for analyzing how digital art redefines the production of space and the aesthetics of inhabitation. Simultaneously, new theoretical and ethical questions concerning how human beings negotiate agency, embodiment, and coexistence within an increasingly algorithmic world are raised. This research contributes both to the theoretical development of art geography and to broader debates on perception, ecology, and critical spatial practice in the digital age.
