Surrealism 2.0/Contemporary Games Analyzing Contemporary Games as a Re-emergence of SurrealismUnknown Date (has links)
Historically, Surrealism is defined as a literary and artistic movement which developed from Dadaism in the early twentieth century. Many artistic and literary historians assess that the lifespan of Surrealism did not persist beyond the 1960’s – that in fact, after notable surrealist such as René Magritte, Man Ray, Max Ernst and Salvador Dali challenged the limited cultural assumption of rationalism, the pursuit to explore and visualize the subconscious faded from artistic ambition. However, the purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative notion that suggests that digital interactive mediums – such as contemporary games and virtual technologies – have revitalized Surrealism, enabling game developers to build upon the initial philosophies made popular by the avant-garde movement. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Gambiarra e experimentalismo sonoro / -Obici, Giuliano Lamberti 07 April 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho parte da constatação de que existe um lugar em que a música experimental e a arte sonora brasileira se encontram: a gambiarra. Com o objetivo de conhecer as dimensões e fronteiras desse lugar, a jornada desta pesquisa está dividida em três momentos. O primeiro, \"Genealogia da gambiarra\", visa introduzir as características gerais da gambiarra, relacionando-a com aspectos culturais globais e locais. O segundo momento, \"Arte e gambiarra\", aborda a gambiarra por duas perspectivas: \"da arte\" e \"do som\". \"Da arte\" explica como o termo gambiarra deixa de ser uma expressão de uso exclusivo às soluções improvisadas do cotidiano para se tornar presente no fazer e pensar artístico brasileiro, em especial no campo da arte-mídia e midiativismo; \"do som\" ilustra uma série de técnicas e aspectos do experimentalismo sonoro que remetem ao modus opperandi da gambiarra. O terceiro capítulo, \"Artistas do sonoro\", apresenta o repertório que impulsionou a escrita desta tese, o qual torna evidente esse lugar comum entre música experimental e arte sonora brasileira. A jornada termina com a formulação de uma ferramenta de análise que busca evidenciar regimes do sonoro quanto ao uso de materiais e dispositivos técnicos / This work originates from the observation that there is a place in Brazilian society where music and sound art collide: the Gambiarra. In order to trace the dimensions and boundaries of this subject, the journey of this research is divided into three chapters. The first \"Gambiarra\'s genealogy\" introduces the concept and the characteristics of Gambiarra, relating it to global and local cultural aspects. The second \"Art and Gambiarra\" addresses two perspectives: art and sound. The \"art\" perspective explains how the term Gambiarra - which is normally related to the everyday improvisation of solutions from the lack of tools and materials - starts to be a reference in the Brazilian art field, particularly in those of media art and media activism from the beginning of 2000. The \"sound\" perspective illustrates techniques and aspects of experimentation in the field of sound which refers to Gambiarra\'s way. The third chapter, \"Artists\" presents the repertoire that drove the writing of this thesis, which shows the overlap between Brazilian experimental music and sound art. The journey ends by drawing an analytical scheme based on the use of materials and technical devices that allow us to look back at the repertoire from another perspective.

Previous issue date: 2018-02-21 / This work enrolled in the interdisciplinary master LIMIAR ? Languages, media
and arts ? aims to understand the meaning of the November 2015 student
occupations in S?o Paulo, through three pillars: the discursive analysis of the
episode, from theoretical references such as Foucault and Derrida, the study of
media based on Chomsky, and the analysis of materials produced by students,
brought up by Canevacci, so that through the cartography method of Deleuze
and Guattari, we can understand the issue of occupations from different views
and perspectives. We expect to bring reflections on the memory of the student
movement and the way discursive memory of occupations has been built ?
crossed, legitimized and re-signified by the discourse of the media. We also hope
to bring reflections if it is possible to think of occupations as an event, from
Foucault?s and Derrida?s viewpoint, in order to understand the effects of meaning
that these events produced on the construction of the memory of the student
movements in History, their differences and similarities. / Este trabalho, inscrito no mestrado interdisciplinar LIMIAR ? Linguagens, m?dia e
arte ? pretende compreender o significado das ocupa??es estudantis de
novembro de 2015 em S?o Paulo atrav?s de tr?s pilares: a an?lise discursiva
sobre o epis?dio, a partir de refer?ncias te?ricas como Foucault e Derrida, o
estudo do enfoque da m?dia, a partir de Chomsky, e a an?lise de material
produzido pelos estudantes, a partir de Canevacci, para que, atrav?s do m?todo
rizom?tico que tem na cartografia de Deleuze e Guattari seu principal
instrumento, possa-se compreender a quest?o das ocupa??es por diferentes
olhares e perspectivas. Espera-se trazer reflex?es sobre a mem?ria dos
movimentos estudantis, bem como a maneira pela qual foi constru?da a mem?ria
discursiva das ocupa??es ? atravessada, legitimada e ressignificada pelo
discurso das m?dias. Busca-se, ainda, refletir se ? poss?vel pensar nas
ocupa??es como acontecimento, a partir de Foucault e Derrida, a fim de
entender os efeitos de sentido que estas manifesta??es produziram para a
constru??o da mem?ria sobre os movimentos estudantis na hist?ria, em suas
diferen?as e similaridades.

Previous issue date: 2012-12-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The research aims to analyze the discursive modes, procedures influenced by production conditions , interpreting conditions and speech conditions, on the relationship between the body and the videographic expression. This way we will discuss a path built by poetics of the body, using as languages video, performance, and video installations. Motivated by this trend, we seek a broadening of these concepts and of artistic means of expression to conduct a survey on media analysis. The following questions guide our program of research and study: 1. The relationship between poetics and politics of the bodies; 2. The dialogue between body and camera; 3. Electronic art as preferred field to enhance the body's speech; 4. The "on screen" search of an episteme of the body. The corpus consists of a set of videos of the Brazilian video artists from Bahia, Ayrson Heráclito, Marcondes Dourado and Danillo Barata, produced between 1980 and 2010, who have as poetics the icons of religious syncretism, mass culture and the myth of baianidade (Bahia´s way of being). The methodology used in this research is based on dialectical contact between researcher and research content within an approach of analysis and synthesis, having as procedure the experimental method combined with the experimental search of cultural signs and symbols similar to the content of research and means of artistic expression. The interaction of the researcher with the techniques dealt with and the language of expression should occur both in the sense of theoretical study as well as aiming intersubjectivity, when trying a reappraisal of concepts and means of artistic expression in a contemporary look. The constant work with bibliographic sources and iconographic research sources will allow the confrontation with the limits of the new interactive environment between body and media art. This way, our theoretical framework is based on the theory of the case, especially on the contributions of Arlindo Machado, Philippe Dubois and Edgar Morin, Social History and geography in Katia de Queiroz Mattoso, Milton Santos and Antonio Risério, studies of art body in Battcock, Henri Pierre Jeudy, Renato Cohen, Richard Schechner, Jorge Glusberg, anthropology, cultural studies and history and sociology of art. The very definition of our field in the area of object creation and experimentation of art and technology makes us cross methodological procedures of language and narrative and also research of technical processes / A pesquisa visa a analisar os modos discursivos, procedimentos influenciados
por condições de produção, condições de interpretação e condições do discurso,
na relação entre o corpo e a expressão videográfica. Dessa maneira,
abordaremos trabalhos desenvolvidos que apontam para um caminho construído
pela poética do corpo, utilizando como linguagens o vídeo, a performance e as
videoinstalações. Motivados por esta tendência, buscamos uma ampliação
desses conceitos e dos meios artísticos de expressão para a realização de uma
pesquisa em análise das mídias. As seguintes questões norteiam nosso
programa de pesquisa e estudo: 1. A relação entre poéticas e políticas dos
corpos; 2. O diálogo entre o corpo e a câmera; 3. A arte eletrônica como campo
preferencial para potencializar o discurso do corpo; 4. A busca na tela de uma
episteme do corpo. O corpus é constituído por um conjunto de vídeos dos
videoartistas baianos Ayrson Heráclito, Marcondes Dourado e Danillo Barata,
produzidos entre a década de 1980 e 2010, que tem como poética os ícones do
sincretismo religioso, a cultura de massa e o mito de baianidade. A metodologia
utilizada nesta pesquisa baseia-se no contato dialético entre pesquisador e
conteúdos de pesquisa, dentro de uma abordagem de análise e síntese, tendo
como procedimento o método experimental aliado à busca de símbolos e signos
culturais análogos ao conteúdo da pesquisa e aos meios de expressão artística.
A interação do pesquisador com as técnicas trabalhadas e as linguagens de
expressão deverá ocorrer tanto no sentido de estudo teórico, como também
visando à intersubjetividade, ao pretender uma reavaliação dos conceitos e dos
meios de expressão artística sob um olhar contemporâneo. O trabalho constante
com as fontes bibliográficas e de pesquisa iconográfica permitirá o confronto
com os limites do novo ambiente interativo, entre o corpo e a artemídia. Dessa
maneira, nosso aporte teórico tem como base a teoria do processo, sobretudo,
nas contribuições de Arlindo Machado, Philippe Dubois e Edgar Morin, da
História Social e da geografia em Katia de Queirós Mattoso, Milton Santos e
Antônio Risério, dos estudos da arte do corpo em Battcock, Henri Pierre Jeudy,
Renato Cohen, Richard Schechner, Jorge Glusberg, da antropologia, dos
estudos culturais e de uma história e sociologia da arte. O próprio campo de
definição do nosso objeto na área da criação e experimentação da arte e da
tecnologia nos faz cruzar metodologicamente procedimentos da linguagem e da
narrativa e também da investigação dos processos técnicos

McLuhan's Bulbs: Light Art and the Dawn of New MediaRyan, Tina Rivers January 2016 (has links)
“McLuhan’s Bulbs” argues that the 1960s movement of “light art” is the primary site of negotiation between the discourses of “medium” and “media” in postwar art. In dialogue with the contemporaneous work of Marshall McLuhan, who privileged electric light as the ur-example of media theory, light art eschewed the traditional symbolism of light in Western art, deploying it instead as a cipher for electronic media. By embracing both these new forms of electronic media and also McLuhan’s media theory, light art ultimately becomes a limit term of the Greenbergian notion of medium-specificity, heralding the transformation of “medium” into “media” on both a technological and a theoretical level. This leads to a new understanding of the concept of media as not peripheral, but rather, central to the history and theory of contemporary art.
Drawing on extensive archival research to offer the first major history of light art, the project focuses in particular on the work of leading light artist Otto Piene, whose sculptural “light ballets,” “intermedia” environments, and early video projects responded to the increasing technological blurring of media formats by bringing together sound and image, only to insist on the separation between the two. Piene’s position would be superseded by the work of light artists who used electronic transducers to technologically translate between light and other phenomena, particularly sounds. These artists are represented here by Piene’s close friend and colleague, Wen-Ying Tsai. In the spirit of earlier examples of “computer art,” Tsai’s “cybernetic sculptures” used light to announce that art would no longer be defined by its material substrates, anticipating the fluid condition of media that we associate with new media art, and digital technology more broadly, today.

Ctrl+art+del: contexto, arte e tecnologia / Ctrl+art+del: contexto, arte e tecnologiaNunes, Fábio Oliveira 10 December 2007 (has links)
Este trabalho é uma reflexão sobre a produção artística em artemídia em que o contexto em suas diversas esferas social, público, tecnológico ou econômico é parte fundamental de sua proposta. Interessa-nos investigar em quais circunstâncias a arte tecnológica poderá atuar em questionamentos do cotidiano e da própria tecnologia. Para tanto, este percurso apóia-se inicialmente na teoria da Estética Relacional de Nicolas Bourriaud, aproximandose de diversas estratégias artísticas de intervenção ou desvio contra o uso homogêneo dos meios. A pesquisa contempla também a análise de diversos trabalhos artísticos de autores nacionais e estrangeiros, dentro do escopo assinalado, e resultou igualmente na elaboração de dois projetos poéticos em desenvolvimento conjunto com o artista Edgar Franco, o site Freakpedia e o Projeto Vislumbres Pós-humanos. / This work is a reflection about a new media art production which the context in different forms social, public, technological or economic is elemental part proposition. Interest us to explore what situations the technological art will act in quotidian questions and technology. Therefore, this way is supported initially in Nicolas Bourriauds theory Relational Aesthetics and also, in second moment, in several artistic strategies of intervention or transgression against homogeneous media use. The research contemplate analysis of national and foreign artworks, inside of scope marked, and resulted also in elaboration of two practical projects in development with the artist Edgar Franco, the web site Freakpedia e o Project Vislumbres Pós-humanos.

Etherscapes: Massless, Elastic, Technology and ControlTurner, Rhys Stephen January 2005 (has links)
Master of Visual Arts / This thesis is an exploration into the ether of the digital aesthetic. It attempts to capture a segment of the continually morphing space then deconstruct and analyse it through electronic and new media art. Herein you will find a questioning of technology and control within electronic and new media art as an investigation into better understanding the current media image and visual culture that so powerfully influences the modern social construct. By nature this argument has existed for some years but only now with advancements in technology and more affordable realisation of ideas by media artists, the topic of the digital aesethetic, technology and control has become relevant for popular debate. As war lingers in our minds, terrorism hits headlines, and experiements in cloning human DNA take place, the technology that society demands can only necessarily be seen as a major contributing factor to today's strange times. However, strange or not, the questions I wish to discuss; Does technology determine contemporary society or do we determine technology? Where does the control exist?

City of atoms: en-racinating media art and public space in AtlantaHicks, Cinque 08 April 2010 (has links)
Designers of information communication technologies (ICTs) in public space often fall into the trap of designing only for the "flaneur," an unembedded mobile subject in the generic global city. They deracinate the experience of space and support the global flâneur as the paradigmatic deracinated subject. In this thesis I propose a specific vision of "en-racinating" media, that is media that takes the specificity of place seriously. A careful consideration of public art can help us in this endeavor by leveraging the artistic notion of "site specificity" in the most culturally grounded meaning of the term. I examining three public digital media/information-based public art works through the lens of urban informatics in order to see how the works do or do not en-racinate experience in a specific city: Atlanta

Rebelling against Discourses of Denial and Destruction: Mainstream Representations of Aboriginal Women and Violence; Resistance through the Art of Rebecca Belmore and Shelley NiroDeutsch, Rachel 30 July 2008 (has links)
Violence against Native women in Canada is widespread and has deeply systemic and colonial roots. This paper will attempt to show the role that dominant representations of culture, race, and gender have in allowing this violence to continue by eclipsing many different narratives and ways of expressing cultural and individual identities. Violence in the mainstream media will be explored and analyzed drawing on concepts from critical theories, Aboriginal epistemological frameworks, and anti-racist, disability, and Afro-centric feminisms to build a framework on which to analyze the meanings of the representations. After exploring violent and colonial discourse, the discussion will turn to art. Self and cultural representation and expression by Native women can act as important forms of resistance to the tools of colonial oppression. The artwork of Rebecca Belmore and Shelley Niro are powerful examples of addressing and exploring issues of identity, culture, resistance, and survival for Aboriginal women.
