Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drifting Studio Practice begleitet Lonnie van Brummelens und Siebren de Haans partizipativen Dokumentarfilme Episode of the Sea (2014) und Stones Have Laws (2018), die sie in Zusammenarbeit mit der niederländischen Fischergemeinde Urk und mit den Saamaka- und Okanisi-Maronen von Surinam, einer ehemaligen niederländischen Kolonie im Amazonasgebiet, gedreht haben. Die Künstler skizzieren, wie sie mit kollektivem Drehbuchschreiben und performativem Geschichtenerzählen experimentierten. Ausgehend von ihrer früheren Arbeit Monument of Sugar (2007) entwickelt sich der Bericht zu einer praxisorientierten Auseinandersetzung mit Koautorenschaft und (Nicht-)Menschenrechten als Strategien zur Bewältigung des Plantagenozäns.

Book excerpt: What kind of university is possible when digital tools are not taken for granted, but hacked for a more experimental future? The global pandemic has underscored contemporary reliance on digital environments. This is particularly true among schools and universities, which, in response, shifted much of their instruction online. Because the rise of e-learning logics, ed-tech industries, and enterprise learning-management systems all threaten to further commodify and instrumentalize higher education, these technologies and platforms have to be creatively and critically struggled over. Studious Drift intervenes in this struggle by reviving the relationship between studying and the generative space of the studio in service of advancing educational experimentation for a world where digital tools have become a permanent part of education. Drawing on Alfred Jarry’s pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions,” this book reveals how the studio is a space-time machine capable of traveling beyond the limits of conventional online learning to redefine education as interdisciplinary, experimental, public study.

Book Studio Studies

  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2015-10-14
  • ISBN : 1317630424
  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Studio Studies written by Ignacio Farías and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider the vast array of things around you, from the building you are in, the lights illuminating the interior, the computational devices mediating your life, the music in the background, even the crockery, furniture and glassware you are in the presence of. Common to all these objects is that their concrete, visual and technological forms were invariably conceived, modelled, finished and tested in sites characterised as studios. Remarkably, the studio remains a peculiar lacuna in our understanding of how cultural artefacts are brought into being and how ‘creativity’ operates as a located practice. Studio Studies is an agenda setting volume that presents a set of empirical case studies that explore and examine the studio as a key setting for aesthetic and material production. As such, Studio Studies responds to three contemporary concerns in social and cultural thought: first, how to account for the situated nature of creative and cultural production; second, the challenge of reimagining creativity as a socio-materially distributed practice rather than the cognitive privilege of the individual; and finally, to unravel the parallels, contrasts and interconnections between studios and other sites of cultural-aesthetic and technoscientific production, notably laboratories. By enquiring into the operations, topologies and displacements that shape and format studios, this volume aims to demarcate a novel and important object of analysis for empirical social and cultural research as well to develop new conceptual repertoires to unpack the multiple ways studio processes shape our everyday lives.

Book Collective and Collaborative Drawing in Contemporary Practice

Download or read book Collective and Collaborative Drawing in Contemporary Practice written by Helen Gørrill and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst both collective and collaborative drawing is being widely explored internationally, both within and beyond educational institutions, there is surprisingly little serious research published on the topic. This realisation led to the first international Drawing Conversations Symposium, accompanied by the Drawn Conversations Exhibition at Coventry University, UK, in December 2015. The two events drew a strong and global response, and brought together a wide range of participants, including academics, artists, researchers, designers, architects and doctoral students. This book considers what happens, and how, when people draw together either in the form of a collaboration, or through a collective process. The contributions here serve to establish the field of collective and collaborative drawing as distinct from the types of drawing undertaken by artists, designers, and architects within a professional context. The volume covers conversations through the act of drawing, collaborative drawing, drawing communities, and alternative drawing collaborations.

Book Classical Painting Atelier

  • Author : Juliette Aristides
  • Publisher : Watson-Guptill
  • Release : 2008-04-01
  • ISBN : 0823006581
  • Pages : 258 pages

Download or read book Classical Painting Atelier written by Juliette Aristides and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to paint more like Manet and less like Jackson Pollock? Students of art hailed Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides’s first book, as a dynamic return to the atelier educational model. Ateliers, popular in the nineteenth century, teach emerging artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. The educational process begins as students copy masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. The many artists at every level who learned from Classical Drawing Atelier have been clamoring for more of this sophisticated approach to teaching and learning. In Classical Painting Atelier, Aristides, a leader in the atelier movement, takes students step-by-step through the finest works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to reveal the principles of creating full-color realist still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings. Rich in tradition, yet practical for today’s artists, Classical Painting Atelier is ideal for serious art students seeking a timeless visual education.

Book excerpt: Totalization for the first time offers a comprehensive and richly illustrated insight into Rice Architect's Totalization Studios - one of the most innovative architectural teaching programs worldwide. In close collaboration with renowned consultants, four studios challenge conventions around structures, façades, materials, and the mechanical aspects of building design and construction. Through featured projects complemented by essays and conservations with faculty members and consultants, Totalization explores these studios, and interrogates how practitioners can leverage the breadth of architectural practice toward in-depth speculative design work. Architecture is the quintessential generalist pursuit. An architect's expertise, first and foremost, lies in understanding the big picture - in totalization.

Book The Quantum Revolution

  • Author : Arthur Kroker
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2023-11-01
  • ISBN : 1487558007
  • Pages : 317 pages

Download or read book The Quantum Revolution written by Arthur Kroker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are currently riders of the information storm. AI fascinates us, images mesmerize us, data defines us, algorithms remember us, news bombards us, devices connect us, isolation saddens us. Deeply embedded in digital technology, we are the very first inhabitants of life in the quantum zone. The Quantum Revolution is about life today – its entanglements, creativity, politics, and artistic vision. Arthur Kroker and David Cook explore a new way of thinking drawn directly from the quantum imaginary itself. They explain the quantum revolution as everyday life, where technology moves fast, and where, under cover of the digital devices that connect us, the most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originating in mathematics, astrophysics, and biogenetics have swiftly flooded human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual identity. The book discusses the concept of the quantum zone as a new way of understanding digital culture, and presents stories about art, technology, and society, as well as a series of reflections on art as a gateway to understanding the quantum imaginary. Richly illustrated with sixty images of critically engaged photos and artwork, The Quantum Revolution privileges a new way of understanding and seeing politics, society, and culture through the lens of the duality that is the essence of the quantum imaginary.

  • Release : 2018-06-13
  • ISBN : 1498554261
  • Pages : 277 pages

Download or read book Smash the Pillars written by Melissa F. Weiner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smash the Pillars builds on the efforts by scholars and activists to decolonize Dutch history and memory, as they resist the epistemological violence imposed by the state, its institutions, and dominant narratives. Contributions offer an unparalleled glimpse into decolonial activism in the Dutch kingdom and provide us with a new lens to view contemporary decolonial efforts. The book argues that to fully decolonize Dutch society, the current social organization in the Kingdom of the Netherlands relying on separate pillars for each religious and/or racial group, must be dismantled.

Book Art Practice in a Digital Culture

Download or read book Art Practice in a Digital Culture written by Hazel Gardiner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much as art history is in the process of being transformed by new information communication technologies, often in ways that are either disavowed or resisted, art practice is also being changed by those same technologies. One of the most obvious symptoms of this change is the increasing numbers of artists working in universities, and having their work facilitated and supported by the funding and infrastructural resources that such institutions offer. This new paradigm of art as research is likely to have a profound effect on how we understand the role of the artist and of art practice in society. In this unique book, artists, art historians, art theorists and curators of new media reflect on the idea of art as research and how it has changed practice. Intrinsic to the volume is an investigation of the advances in creative practice made possible via artists engaging directly with technology or via collaborative partnerships between practitioners and technological experts, ranging through a broad spectrum of advanced methods from robotics through rapid prototyping to the biological sciences.

Book Critical Theory and Interaction Design

Download or read book Critical Theory and Interaction Design written by Jeffrey Bardzell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic texts by thinkers from Althusser to Žižek alongside essays by leaders in interaction design and HCI show the relevance of critical theory to interaction design. Why should interaction designers read critical theory? Critical theory is proving unexpectedly relevant to media and technology studies. The editors of this volume argue that reading critical theory—understood in the broadest sense, including but not limited to the Frankfurt School—can help designers do what they want to do; can teach wisdom itself; can provoke; and can introduce new ways of seeing. They illustrate their argument by presenting classic texts by thinkers in critical theory from Althusser to Žižek alongside essays in which leaders in interaction design and HCI describe the influence of the text on their work. For example, one contributor considers the relevance Umberto Eco's “Openness, Information, Communication” to digital content; another reads Walter Benjamin's “The Author as Producer” in terms of interface designers; and another reflects on the implications of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble for interaction design. The editors offer a substantive introduction that traces the various strands of critical theory. Taken together, the essays show how critical theory and interaction design can inform each other, and how interaction design, drawing on critical theory, might contribute to our deepest needs for connection, competency, self-esteem, and wellbeing.

Book Situating Global Art

  • Author : Sarah Dornhof
  • Publisher : transcript Verlag
  • Release : 2018-05-31
  • ISBN : 3839433975
  • Pages : 337 pages

Download or read book Situating Global Art written by Sarah Dornhof and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the term global art has become a catchphrase in contemporary art discourses. Going beyond additive notions of canon expansion, this volume encourages a differentiated inquiry into the complex aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, epistemological and socio-economic implications of both the term global art itself and the practices it subsumes. Focusing on diverse examples of art, curating, historiography and criticism, the contributions not only take into account (new) hegemonies and exclusions but also the shifting conditions of transcultural art production, circulation and reception.

Book Educreation and Feedback

Download or read book Educreation and Feedback written by Paul Ritter and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educreation and Feedback: Education for Creation, Growth and Change, Second Edition explains the pattern of actions based on self-regulation, co-operation, and the therapeutic attitude. Educreation means directed learning toward creation, growth, flexibility, adaptation, and development. This book discusses the concept of education that is required and needed, explaining the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the problems of education. The quantitative aspects include population growth and education selection, while the qualitative aspects address the need for practicable set of directions and the plight of professional education. This book also indicates the fresh pattern in the context of educational theories. One chapter outlines an integrated pattern approach, defining relationship as determining the nature of existence. This book then shows the general implications for education using the concept of educreation. The relevant chapter gives 15 criteria by which to judge if the innovations made in education represent real progress. This book also confers implementation in the field of architectural education by addressing the kind of ideas that will emerge from new patterns of thinking in architectural education. Chapter V of the book discusses feedbacks, such as problem solving in a counseling group; educreation — the change to a community school from a state school; and the adaptation of educreation to teaching history in advanced education. School administrators, academicians, educators, government officials in the education sector, and students of developmental studies will gain a new perspective from reading this book.
