Time-Based Art: An Introduction, Su Ballard
Embedded Ecologies: Teaching Digital Theory In Art And Design, Su Ballard, C Mccaw
Embedded Ecologies: Teaching Digital Theory In Art And Design, Su Ballard, C Mccaw
Su Ballard
We are both researchers in a traditional sense and also design and art practitioners. We work in an environment where our students make things as well as study theory. Our hypotheses surround our experiences, both as academic 'makers' and through our observations in the classroom. Our position is, that if practice and theory are integrated and embedded within art and design educational experience, meaning is brought to theory and thoughtful positioning to practice. There is a wide range of literature on the theory/practice relationship within art school environments. We draw on this material but in many ways diverge from it …
D>Art05 Distributed Art And Mobile Journeys, Su Ballard
D>Art05 Distributed Art And Mobile Journeys, Su Ballard
Su Ballard
There is time for the work to be examined, experimented with, and opened up to a visiting public. This kind of exhibition model has for a long time been problematic for works that do not exist within a defined 3D space, or a comfortably measured duration. D>Art05 and Mobile Journeys address the temporal and spatial restrictions of the exhibition model by making the work available for download both during and post-exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition could bring their mobiles and download any of the fourteen works in Mobile Journeys, in effect, mobilising the work.
Silent Subversions, Derek Dubois
Silent Subversions, Derek Dubois
Derek M Dubois
Explores the concept of spectatorship in relation to gender in the earliest period of film history in the United States known as the silent era. Argues that a new mode of spectatorship emerges for women during the 1920s, which employs to advantage the extra-diegetic components of spectacle in theater design, new customized genres for female filmgoers, fandom, and exotic male film stars, such as Rudolph Valentino. Focuses primarily on feminist film theory and on cultural studies as methodological models.
“The Problem Of Science” In Nietzsche And Heidegger, Babette Babich
“The Problem Of Science” In Nietzsche And Heidegger, Babette Babich
Babette Babich
Nietzsche and Heidegger pose important philosophical questions to science and its technological projects. The resultant contributes to what may be called a continental philosophy of science and I argue that only such a rigorously critical approach to the question of science permits a genuinely philosophical reflection on science. The resultant contributes to what may be called a continental philosophy of science and I argue that only such a rigorously critical approach to the question of science permits a genuinely philosophical reflection on science. More than a thoughtful reflection on science, however, the heart of philosophy is also at stake in …
Instrumental Relations: Software As Art, Art As Software, Brogan S. Bunt
Instrumental Relations: Software As Art, Art As Software, Brogan S. Bunt
Brogan Bunt
Software art is characterised by a close concern with the culture of software and the medium of programming. This inevitably demands an engagement with the terrain of the instrumental; software is a sphere of tool-making and programming is governed by conceptions of functional (and generic) utility. Yet where does this leave art? If, in Kantian terms, art is defined by its uselessness (by its lack of any externally grounded necessity) and if, in classical critical theoretical terms, this alienation from function opens up a space of critique, then how can art explore and participate within the instrumental without abandoning its …

Ralph Fasanella: Worker, Activist, Artist, Nick Salvatore
Ralph Fasanella: Worker, Activist, Artist, Nick Salvatore
Nick Salvatore
[Excerpt] In his art, as in his life, Ralph Fasanella reminds us all of the complexity of our society and of the need for each generation to dedicate itself anew to the commitment of justice for all. That his work, accomplished without the benefit of formal training, is as arresting and as pleasing as it is, is but a reflection of Ralph Fasanella's basic message.
Heritage And Regional Development: An Indigenous Perspective, Robbie Collins, K. Mcmahon-Coleman
Heritage And Regional Development: An Indigenous Perspective, Robbie Collins, K. Mcmahon-Coleman
Kimberley McMahon-Coleman
Heritage is important to regional development in terms of promoting a sense of place and a sense of identity for those in the region. Heritage is often expressed through culture and the arts as a means of manifesting a community’s sense of what the community or region is about. For Indigenous communities this is particularly relevant given the lack of social capital as a result of colonialism and displacement. In these communities the value of the Indigenous way of viewing things and sense of place has been subjugated by hegemonic norms. There is a need for Indigenous peoples to find …

The 'Art' Of Colonization: Capitalizing Sovereign Power And The Ongoing Nature Of Primitive Accumulation, Timothy Dimuzio
The 'Art' Of Colonization: Capitalizing Sovereign Power And The Ongoing Nature Of Primitive Accumulation, Timothy Dimuzio
Timothy DiMuzio
In order to dispel Adam Smith’s liberal narrative of original accumulation, Karl Marx offered his own historical account of the rise of capitalism in England. He also pointed to the English colonies, where the conditions for capitalist development were being created by government intervention in his own era.1 Playing on the discussion of the ‘art of colonisation’ in Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s comparative study of England and America, Marx argued that Wakefield’s candid advice on colonial policy and prosperity revealed the shaky foundations upon which Adam Smith’s concept of original accumulation was built. According to Marx, the value of Wakefield’s work …
