The poet had been initiated into the blind art some three years earlier by a young entrepreneur and radio enthusiast by the name of Paul Deharme. Deharme, perhaps more than any of the other lapsed Surrealists that would follow in his path, was devoted to the radio’s novel artistic possibilities. In March 1928, he published “Proposition pour un art radiophonique,” a strangely matter-of-fact manifesto on the potentials of this new “wireless art,” combining a semi-digested Freud with a list of techniques to produce visions in the listener — the use of the present indicative, background music, adherence to chronology, and so forth.

  • Intimate Discoveries: Nature and Poetry in the Art of Mayme Kratz by Julie Sasse, Curator of Contemporary Art Tucson Museum of Art May, 2002
    Intimate Discoveries: Nature and Poetry in the Art of Mayme Kratz by Julie Sasse, Curator of Contemporary Art Tucson Museum of Art May, 2002 When French philosopher Gaston Bachelard wrote The Poetics of Space (1958), an investigation of space, poetry and metaphor, he stimulated a new awareness of external and internal environments by using poetry to illustrate how such realms can be articulated. His seminal work subsequently influenced countless visual artists to explore art and poetics in new and profound ways. Fascinated by both nature and poetry, Mayme Kratz has fashioned cast resin sculpture and two-dimensional works that provide an intimate look at the external world and the internal world with poetic grace and grandeur. Her art, capturing the essence of the interconnectedness of nature and space and the creative spirit, is at once haunting and beautiful. Of course, exalting nature through art is not a new development in America. In the 1800s, for example, the Hudson River School artists portrayed nature in all its sublime splendor as a means of nourishing the soul. The use of visual, abstracted expressions of nature, however, is a later phenomenon, examined well by John Baur of the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1958 he organized an exhibition, “Nature in Abstraction: The Relation of Abstract Painting and Sculpture to Nature in Twentieth-Century American Art,” which included fifty-seven artists. Ranging from Louise Bourgeois, Louise Nevelson, and Helen Frankenthaler to Philip Guston, Hans Hoffman and Willem deKooning, these artists appear to have been chosen more for their abstraction than for their conscious examination of the essence of nature.

  • GAME-CENTRIC TRANSMEDIA AUDIENCE EXPERIENCES: CASE of QUANTUM BREAK and DEFIANCE Elisa Wiik
    GAME-CENTRIC TRANSMEDIA AUDIENCE EXPERIENCES: CASE OF QUANTUM BREAK AND DEFIANCE Elisa Wiik University of Tampere Faculty of Communication Sciences Internet and Game Studies Master’s thesis October 2018 UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE, Faculty of Communication Sciences Internet and Game Studies WIIK, ELISA: Game-centric transmedia audience experiences: Case of Quantum Break and Defiance. Master’s thesis, 77 pages + 7 pages of appendices October 2018 Transmedia research has in the past been mainly interested in defining transmedia and examining transmedia franchises that have their starting point in movies and TV-series. However, there are multiple transmedia constellations that have a game as their starting point, or as a core. In this thesis, I suggest that there is a need for a game-centric transmedia research. The survey data from two examples of game-centric transmedia, Defiance (Trion Worlds, 2013) and Quantum Break (Remedy Entertainment, 2016), were analyzed by using grounded theory-informed approach. This was done in order to find out what motivates an audience to consume or avoid game- centric transmedia and what kind of experiences does the integrated transmedia style of Quantum Break offer compared to the separate transmedia style of Defiance. The results of this study show that if the developers of game-centric transmedia are aiming for an accessible and cinematic experience, integrated transmedia might be the better choice. The motivations to consume game-centric transmedia had a strong focus on narrative aspects and there were several mentions of immersion and identifying with the characters in the data. The results differ from earlier transmedia audience studies and suggest the need for more game-centric transmedia audience studies, where the core text is a game instead of a television show.
