Fuse News, Kuniko Vroman

SWITCH

This article describes the FUSE initiative, a collaborative residency program bringing together artists, students, academic institutions, and Silicon Valley industries.

Intellectual Property In The Age Of Digital Reproduction, David Sandoval

SWITCH

This article explores the challenges of intellectual property in a digital world. Focusing on the work of Graffiti Research Lab (GRL), the article discusses how artists use open-source tools to resist corporate control of public space, but also how these same tools are often co-opted by the very systems they oppose. Through examples like LED throwies, Laser Tag, and Creative Commons licenses, the article examines the limits of current copyright models and the blurred lines between commercial and non-commercial use.

Zero1sj/Fuse, Kuniko Vroman

SWITCH

This article introduces the FUSE research residency program, a collaboration between San Jose State University's CADRE Lab and the Montalvo Arts Center. It describes how FUSE supports partnerships between artists and students to explore new media and social issues through creative projects.

Re-Purpose Broken, Ethan Miller

SWITCH

This article explores how artists in the FUSE series (The CADRE/Montalvo research initiative) creatively re-purpose everyday systems, tools, and cultural norms to challenge how we understand and interact with the world. Using the idea of networks from Actor-Network Theory, the author explains how artists break or shift systems to raise important questions about power, participation, and control.

Purpose Machines, Douglas Edric Stanley

SWITCH

This article explores how machines can be designed to have purpose - not just to follow instructions, but to react, adapt, and change based on their environment. The author compares early ideas from cybernetics and computer science with modern technologies, showing how machines today can be flexible, creative, and open-ended. He also questions the idea that artists can “re-purpose” machines, since machines are already made to be re-used.

The Gift Economy Of Artistic Practice And The Social Systems Created Through Dialogic Artworks., Wayne Madsen

SWITCH

This article explores the idea of gift culture in art, focusing on how artists can move beyond commercial markets to create public, participatory experiences.

The Car Park, Dave Colangelo

School of Film Faculty Publications and Presentations

This essay uses the work of Marc Augé as a lens through which to view the supermodern urban space, and how the concept of place is manufactured and negotiated. The author focuses on a car park to elucidate these themes, and agrees with Augé, who claims that non-places such as car parks fail to create identity or relations.

Domain Specific Identity Commitment And Alcohol Use And Problems, Alison Glanville

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Identity formation is an important developmental task of the college years. Previous research has demonstrated that identity commitment, as defined by James Marcia, is related to decreased substance use and problems. That is, individuals who are identity achieved or foreclosed use substances less frequently and experience fewer substance-related problems than do individuals who are classified in the statuses of identity diffused or moratorium. However, Marcia discussed identity as developing in two domains, the occupational and the ideological (religious beliefs and political ideology). To date, no studies have examined in which domain commitment is associated with a decrease in substance use …

Getting Warmer., Jessica Elizabeth Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is in support of the exhibition entitled Getting Warmer, on display in Slocumb Galleries at East Tennessee State University from March 19 to March 23, 2007. The exhibition represents an exploration in the medium of fibers, incorporating digitally printed photographs on fabric and quilted structures. The collage of photographic textures and the stitched lines of machine embroidery reflect the artist's interest in the formal qualities of mapmaking and topography. Conceptually, the work is concerned with the idea of material as landscape and artwork as personal geography. This thesis addresses the artistic and cultural influences, the artistic process …

Words For Pictures, Jayne Dyer

Artists-in-Residence Programme : Exhibition Catalogues

WORDSFORPICTURES intersects with the Lingnan Library site and collection.

The exhibition represents a culmination of a series of discrete interventions that occurred over the residency.

Adults’ Responses To The Art Process And Interaction With Art Media, Madeline Couch

EVMS School of Health Professions Theses & Dissertations

The art materials are a major component in art therapy. Their actual usage in sessions with clients, especially with adults, has rarely been the topic of investigation. The ideas about the qualities and purposes that the art materials bring to art therapy sessions are based on older theories, which were created without evidence-based research. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of how adults interact with and react to art media. Five adult volunteers, who were not formally trained as artists and who did not regularly engage in artistic processes, participated in the study. The participants experimented …

Early Connections Between Film And Emerging Media As Evidenced In The Animated Worlds Of Adam Beckett, Pamela Turner

Kinetic Imaging Publications and Presentations

Making a “film” today rarely involves a journey to the lab as images are more often recorded digitally and not on celluloid. Even video’s electromagnetic record is transformed to bits and bytes. There is no frame to splice. The visual material exists as a virtual reference only. As McLuhan points out, new media doesn’t replace the old, existing media, but changes it. Theorists often point to the photograph and its impact on the painting. A similar event was the emergence of video technology and its ensuing relationship with film, a relationship whose differences have become increasingly transparent.

Looking at the …
