Sky blue,but what blue? A new evaluation of the colors of the sky for artists and designers

This study describes a process of relating the perceptual analysis of the colors of the terrestrial atmosphere to currently available pigments used in artists' painting systems. This process sought to discover how the colors of the sky could be defined and simulated by these pigments. The author also describes how confusion over the bewildering choice of suitable pigments on offer in the market place can be clarified. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

网络媒介影响下建筑相关问题初探

自工业革命以来形成的社会生活方式,在信息数字技术的影响下发生着悄无声息的变化.从原子到比特,数字化生存是必然的趋势.网络媒介的出现使得人们在交流和机会等方面获得平等的权利.随之产生的人们的生活方式、行为的改变已经为艺术领域带来了新的变化.通过对艺术创作的考察,为建筑领域的相关问题提供了参照、借鉴.在建筑创作中,＂图＂与＂底＂的关系正在模糊化,信息交流方式更多样化并具有一定的阶段性,动态的模数将导致更具个性化的设计,空间界面更为柔化,设计成果的生成也具有了更多的不可预见性.

浅谈如何激发学生学习语文的兴趣

语文课程应是工具性与文学性并重,既不能因考试指挥棒而片面强调它的工具性,也不能脱离文化工具这一特性,不顾学生水平大搞文学鉴赏.二者要想兼顾就必须在教学过程中寻求一条连接纽带,即激发学生的兴趣.文章从实践的角度,从培养学生的"有意注意",讲究课堂艺术,恰当运用课堂提问,开展语文课外活动几个方面,提出了激发学生学习语文兴趣的一些要求和基本方法.     

Disquiet in the plasma

The metaphor of plasma is taken up to present and discuss movement and engagement by participants in mixed reality installation arts. Two works involving full body video portraits exhibited through large plasma screens in a variety of public settings are covered. Machinic mediations of video realism are considered in terms of embodied interaction in which viewer-participants contribute to the ‘disquiet’ of gendered figuring. Processural, proximal and personal aspects of responsive engagement are discussed. This is extended to performativity that may lead us to critical reflection of our own actions and responses in mixed reality arts.     

Digital design and time on device; how aesthetic experience can help to illuminate the psychological impact of living in a digital culture

ABSTRACT

Aesthetic techniques are increasingly used by marketeers to create enticing digital products. In this paper, I work with the aesthetic experiences of one audience group to consider the psychological impact of living in a culture where digital devices are deliberately designed to influence behaviour. I argue that aesthetic encounters can help with understanding the impact of the interplay between visual stimulus, affect and digital culture, in ways that may support situated understandings of mental distress in a digital age. I show how audiences respond to the artist-led research project Are We All Addicts Now? arguing that they generate ideas connected to submersion and being overwhelmed as a means of reporting on their own personal experiences of living in a digital culture that seeks to influence behaviour. The findings may have value for designers, curators and artists invested in understanding the experiential impact of digital devices.     

“先锋”是一种立场

如今学术界对"先锋艺术"①的定义普遍采用了德国学者比格尔(Burger,P)的论断,即先锋艺术是对"自律艺术"进行颠覆的艺术形态。通过这种定义来将其与浪漫主义、象征主义、唯美主义、后现代主义进行区分。但笔者认为这种区分实际上正是一种现代性观念的体现,强调对各个事物进行严格的区分与划界。事实上,先锋艺术首先表现为一种强烈的精神立场甚至是意识形态,因此比格尔的定义实际上忽视了先锋艺术中最为核心的因素。     

感受“798”的现代艺术

本文通过论述798艺术区的历史沿革、798的文化概念以及发展趋势,让人们感受到这是一个活生生的工厂,同时也是一个生机勃勃的艺术区;而艺术展览的宣传海报,画廊、工作室的指示标牌,引人注目的雕塑作品,时髦的青年和穿梭往来的外国游客,一切又构成了极强的艺术和时尚氛围。少时记忆中的工厂环境与奇思幻想的艺术构思的组合,让人有种时空交错的感觉。
