摘要

This research is aimed at investigating the use of kinetic typography in order to appreciate a work in the Internet art museum. Kinetic typography is the animation of the character expressed by computer. Being accompanied by various motions, kinetic typography can add messages, such as feeling and directions, to the meaning which language involves. The Internet art museum is expressed by virtual space, which has two or three dimensions, expressed by computer. The exhibit works in the Internet art museum could be linked to various information, without being restricted to space or time. Kinetic typography may help to grasp the relation of ambiguous information clearly in such case. Through the experiment, the attributes of kinetic typography have been indicated as ornamentation of motion, settlement of motion, motion classification, and timebase appearance. A motion is an expression of some meanings and includes additional information. When a motion of kinetic typography is applied to the intention of a message, the motion can express a meaning effectively.
