Abstract
As the common object of visual aesthetics, body has changed multivariately in the modern aesthetic mechanism made by "visual diversion". On the one hand, modern visual mechanism clears up the established connotation of traditional "duality of body and mind" and strengthens the body consciousness of modern individuals, which promotes the aesthetic purport of body and in the meantime breeds the capital effect of body, expending the consumption characterization of body, and giving birth to the aesthetic practice of "body consumption". On the other hand, with the help of the technology of modern visual media, modern visual mechanism makes it more implicit for the restriction of right to body, which causes modern society's excessive obsession and worship to body and generates a pervasive "prying desire" in society, promoting the diversification of body aesthetics and derivating the general anxiety of body at the same time. Therefore, the resolution between the resulting effect of body's presence and the significance of spirit becomes another topic of body aesthetics in modern society.
