Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art - Informatique : deux univers différents, voire opposés. Il existe pourtant un art informatique, lieu de rencontre entre ces deux mondes. L'auteur a tenté de mesurer sociologiquement les conséquences de cette rencontre en ce qui concerne les artistes. Depuis les premières tentatives de Computer art dans les années soixante jusqu'au Cyberart aujourd'hui, les liens entre les mondes de l'art et de l'informatique se sont multipliés et complexifiés, soit que les artistes deviennent informaticiens, ou les informaticiens artistes...

Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "Depuis la photographie, aucun outil n'a autant influencé l'art et la culture que l'ordinateur. L'art numérique est né dans les années 1960, lorsque les scientifiques puis les artistes commencèrent à essayer de produire des images à l'aide de traceurs. Aujourd'hui, de nombreux artistes utilisent l'ordinateur comme un outil à tout faire. Certains cherchent à explorer les tensions esthétiques et conceptuelles avec ce support. Cet ouvrage se penche sur leurs réalisations. Il examine les différentes manifestations de l'art numérique : impressions, dessins, animations, installations, objets sur écran et sculptures, jusqu'à l'art sur Internet et l'art logiciel aux formes en constante évolution sur l'écran plat. C'est l'art de notre temps, l'art du XXIe siècle."
Download or read book When the Machine Made Art written by Grant D. Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the Machine Made Art covers the reception and criticism of computer art from its emergence in 1963 to its crisis in 1989, when ideological differences fragment the art movement. The text begins by identifying the various divisions between the humanistic and scientific cultures that inform early criticism. The fact that the first computer art has military origins and is imbued with various techno-science mythologies, places the movement at odds with artworld orthodoxy. Yet, while mainstream art critics reproach computerized art, a comparison between similar art forms of the era, such as conceptual art, reveals that the criticism of computer art was motivated more by the fear of the machine than by aesthetics. Dr. Grant Taylor shows that social anxiety, often fueled by Cold War dystopianism, posited the computer as a powerful instrument in the overall subordination of the individual to the emerging technocracy. But even though anti-computer sentiment abated in the late 1970s, computer art did not find acceptance. The book illustrates how computer art's exponents, desiring artworld legitimacy, traced its lineage back to modernism. Conversely, in the 1980s, art theorists, employing the latest critical theory, began critiquing the assumptions of modernism, and thus viewed computer art's modernist history as hopelessly outdated. And yet other critics reconciled computer technology with the critical insights of postmodernism, viewing the computer as a pluralistic agent that could challenge modernist conventions. Nonetheless, while postmodernist criticism enabled the formation of new discourses for emerging digital arts, it left computer art, which was committed to modernist and techno-science philosophies, in a state of crisis"--
Download or read book Performing Arts and Digital Humanities written by Clarisse Bardiot and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital traces, whether digitized (programs, notebooks, drawings, etc.) or born digital (emails, websites, video recordings, etc.), constitute a major challenge for the memory of the ephemeral performing arts. Digital technology transforms traces into data and, in doing so, opens them up to manipulation. This paradigm shift calls for a renewal of methodologies for writing the history of theater today, analyzing works and their creative process, and preserving performances. At the crossroads of performing arts studies, the history, digital humanities, conservation and archiving, these methodologies allow us to take into account what is generally dismissed, namely, digital traces that are considered too complex, too numerous, too fragile, of dubious authenticity, etc. With the analysis of Merce Cunningham’s digital traces as a guideline, and through many other examples, this book is intended for researchers and archivists, as well as artists and cultural institutions.
Download or read book Electronic Art written by Roger F. Malina and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers are more and more becoming creative tools in music as well as in the visual arts and design. In the last few years, it has become clear that digital technology provides a platform for multimedia productions as well as a medium for new art forms. Computer Music and Computer Graphics & Animation have their own international forums. The need was felt, however, to bring together the diverse disciplines within art and technology in one international event - the First International Symposium on Electronic Art (FISEA). The Symposium attracted considerable interest and hundreds of papers and proposals were submitted, of which a selection were accepted. This book, also published as a supplement to the journal Leonardo, publishes 20 of these selected papers under the editorship of Wim van der Plas, Ton Hokken and Johan den Biggelaar. This richly illustrated issue on Electronic Art reflects the enormous international interest which FISEA generated and will further stimulate interest in applications of new technology in music, visual arts and design.
Download or read book The Artist as Inventor written by Valentino Catricalà and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the media arts not only address the great themes of our times, they inhabit the very media of which they speak. The contemporary is global, but only because of the media that enable globalisation. Those media are almost nowhere apparent in the mainstream practice of art that we see in biennials from Venice to Sao Paolo. The media arts reflect back to us our present condition, and in the archive present us with the ghosts of what we were, and what we failed to become. This book brings the reader into the centre of these strange encounters, introducing us to the rich legacies and futures of the most important arts of the last hundred years. It also looks ahead to the future and asks what happens to the condition of being human within the new constellation into which we are entering?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loin d'être une nouveauté radicale, l'ordinateur apparaît plutôt comme une révolution prise dans son sens immédiat de "retour à" c'est-à-dire comme un prolongement régressif de l'art classique et moderne. Le début de l'ouvrage est consacrée à l'imitation par copie ou reproduction avec la palette graphique et les logiciels de retouche. La réflexion se poursuit par l'étude des logiciels de modélisation qui se veulent en rupture de l'approche par " l'image ", puis la simulation pour s'achever sur une approche de l'œuvre virtuelle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New media in art history The history of art and new media are inextricably linked – both historically and in the present day. This publication can be described as an interdisciplinary reflection: it examines the confrontation and interaction between art history and new media, highlighting key developments, opportunities, and tensions. In eight studies, eleven researchers present new findings and explore the techniques and methods of new media – from electronic to digital and post-digital media – and the challenges these pose for art history. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the history and historiography of new media to their practical application, use, and reception, as well as creative processes, material conservation, and mediation. With new research findings, this book bridges the gap between art history and media studies With contributions by Keyvane Alinaghi, Sarah Amsler, Katharina Brandl, Fleur Chevalier, Aline Guillermet, Thomas Hänsli, Dominik Lengyel, Catherine Toulouse, Caroline Tron-Carroz, Zsofi Valyi-Nagy, and Nina Zschocke Cooperative project between the Swiss Association of Art Historians (VKKS) and the University of Neuchâtel
Download or read book Computers in Art Design and Animation written by John Lansdown and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection of papers that makes up this book arises largely from the joint activities of two specialist groups of the British Computer Society, namely the Displays Group and the Computer Arts Society. Both these groups are now more than 20 years old and during the whole of this time have held regular, separate meetings. In recent years, however, the two groups have held a joint annual meeting at which presentations of mutual interest have been given and it is mainly from the last two of these that the present papers have been drawn. They fall naturally into four classes: visualisation, art, design and animation-although, as in all such cases, the boundaries between the classes are fuzzy and overlap inevitably occurs. Visualisation The graphic potential of computers has been recognised almost since computing was first used, but it is only comparatively recently that their possibilities as devices for the visualisation of complex. and largely ab stract phenomena has begun to be more fully appreciated. Some workers stress the need to be able to model photographic reality in order to assist in this task. They look to better algorithms and more resolution to achieve this end. Others-Alan Mackay for instance-suggest that it is "not just a matter of providing more and more pixels. It is a matter of providing congenial clues which employ to the greatest extent what we already know.

Download or read book Art Design and Technology Collaboration and Implementation written by Rae Earnshaw and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how digital technology is being used to assist the artists and designers. The computer is able to store data and reproduce designs, thus facilitating the speed-up of the iterative process towards a final design which meets the objectives of the designer and the requirements of the user. Collaborative design enables the sharing of information across digital networks to produce designed objects in virtual spaces. Augmented and virtual reality techniques can be used to preview designs before they are finalized and implemented. Art and design have shaped the values, social structures, communications, and the culture of communities and civilisations. The direct involvement of artists and designers with their creative works has left a legacy enabling subsequent generations to understand more about their skills, their motivations, and their relationship to the wider world, and to see it from a variety of perspectives. This in turn causes the viewers of their works to reflect upon their meaning for today and the lasting value and implications of what has been created. Art installations are harnessing modern technology to process information and to display it. Such environments have also proved useful in engaging users and visitors with real-time images and interactive art.
