Up to this day, the concept of “reproduction” in art activities has played the most important role in setting forth the principle of realization of art. By considering art as direct copy or imitation of nature, Aristotle as well as Plato raising a question on the efficiency of ‘art’ agreed that art consists of reproduction based on mimesis, the aesthetic concept regulating art. Thereafter, the concept of mimesis of Greece was the central concept controlling art theories and philosophies throughout Renaissance and Neo-Classicism. Until the beginning of the 19th century, art trends had changed their forms by constantly changing their names, but their ultimate objective was to attain a perfect reproduction, that is, transparency. However, with the invention of a camera in the middleofthe 19th century, an aesthetic value of reproduction that had been undoubted for a long time caused fundamental skepticism and a painting could not stick to the methodology of reproduction due to transparency of reproduction generated by a photo. As such, technical enhancement represented by a camera has caused the change in paradigm of art trend, called as ‘Crisis of Reproduction’, and also brought about transformation of perspective of epistemology. However, the crisis of reproduction was actually realized from the late 20th century. The concepts of simulation and simulacre suggested by Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Jean Baudrillard and Jean F. Lyotard meant original impossibility of reproduction as well as absence of the original for basis of reproduction. The advent of digital images accompanied by introduction of a computer increased the ‘Crisis of Reproduction’ and the absence of the original form was considered as natural in the modern society. Such advent of digital technology caused many changes across overall industry and culture. Currently, Internet or smart device is an integration of digital technologies as well as an innovative existence of media. Such development of digital technologies led to the change in paradigm of media and also transformed creation of images and manner of consumption. As such, with the development of digital technologies, industrial society was changed into information society, and thus new paradigm of media was emerged across overall industry, which has a significant influence on the change in environment of performance art. Breaking away from the framework of contents in which actual actors showed, they have been expanded into a new concept in the area of performance art, depending on the change of media environments, such as appearance of virtual actors through 3D simulation technique. In addition, the development of digital images have changed the behavior of consumption of images, and such changes brought about the change in audience’s previous awareness of actors.
