Since 1988 ISEA has been situated at the global frontier of digital media, creating an open discourse around electronic art, science, interdisciplinarity and culture. In 1989 Tim Berners Lee sat down to begin the www, http and html protocols for a barely understood internet. From speculations on the nature of hypertext and notions of supreme multimedia at early ISEA symposia, through to hybridized internet spaces in the mid 2000’s, academics and art- ists - in many situations one and the same - have simultaneously developed and explored the nature of interactivity. Our relationship to technology has been scrutinized and extended through creativity and academic debate. Such is the work presented at symposia and art events held annually, in cit- ies from Utrecht to Dubai. In an era where the term technology has received the prefxes of eco, nano and bio, the transitioned state of contemporary culture under the impact of electronic media made it possible to hear casually in the halls of ISEA2013 Sydney that culture had become electronic. It is in this hybrid diversity of nomadic journeying, typical of contemporary culture, that ISEA is so well located. Twenty years after Montreal hosted the sixth ISEA, the event has returned to Canada –to be hosted by Simon Fraser University in Vancouver– for the foremost iteration of what has become electronic heritage. ISEA International Foundation Board Peter Anders – Chair Wim van der Plas – Treasurer Bonnie Mitchell – Secretary Paul Catanese Ian Clothier Sue Gollifer – ISEA International Headquarters Director Introduction Kate Armstrong As I write this, 186 forest fres are raging in the province of British Columbia and the air in Vancouver is thick with yellow smoke. It is 35 degrees outside and the silver city is an alien outpost against a gasoline sky. The ships, flled with oil and plastic lawn furniture from Shenzhen, are using foghorns to navigate. When we were initially conceiving Disruption as a theme for ISEA2015 I’d written that disruption conjures both blue sky and black smoke. Blue sky with reference to the term used in Silicon Valley and elsewhere to indicate the bold innovations and endless possibilities introduced by disruptive tech- nologies. In that vision, blue sky is imaginative space, a notion of the beauti- ful, limitless new: We as humans are poised at an historic intersection where we will be able to use our comely machines to realize visionary ideas that will change how we live and work. We are to be hopeful because we can change anything if not everything, including the power structures that hold some of us back. These technologies ultimately offer a broad redistribution of money, time, resources. This blue sky, which will make all of us smarter and richer, more relaxed, is possible because of youth and energy, hard work, luck, and a 10x return to investors. Our persistent use of expensive handheld devices will overturn a century of public sector atrophy.

  • Education Kit Years 7-12 the Writing’S on the Wall - a Short History of Street Art
    Education Kit Years 7-12 The Writing’s on the Wall - A Short History of Street Art The word graffiti comes from the Italian language and means to inscribe. In European art graffiti dates back at least 17,000 years to wall paintings such as are found in the caves of Lascaux in Southern France. The paintings at Lascaux depict animals from the Paleolithic period that were of cultural importance to the people of that region. They are also believed to be spiritual in nature relating to visions experienced during ritualistic trance-dancing. Australian indigenous rock art dates back even further to about 65,000 years and like the paintings at Lascaux, Australian indigenous rock art is spiritual in nature and relates to ceremonies and the Dreaming. The history of contemporary graffiti/street art dates back about 40 years to the 1960s but it also depicts images of cultural importance to people of a particular region, the inner city, and their rituals and lifestyles. The 1960s were a time of enormous social unrest with authority challenged at every opportunity. It is no wonder graffiti, with its strong social and political agendas, hit the streets, walls, pavements, overpasses and subways of the world with such passion. The city of New York in the 1970s was awash with graffiti. It seemed to cover every surface. When travelling the subway it was often impossible to see out of the carriage for the graffiti.

Recieved 09.28.2015; Accepted 12.21.2015 ABSTRACT: City is the most complicated and tangible creature of man. There is a critical mutual communication between human and city; and the effect of one’ living environment is beyond question. Graffiti is a new urban phenomenon, which has drawn attention in light of its connection with protestation culture and street art. Thanks to symbolism of graffiti, the artists have added mysterious aspects to their work and distinguished themselves from formal culture. Social protestation is the most notable feature of the graffiti found in Iranian cities. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no notable research work in Iran on the relationship of human, society, and existence from of graffiti symbolism viewpoint in particular. The present study is an attempt to survey and evaluate common symbols used on urban graffiti through documentary research. Technique and content analysis in stratified semiology based on Iranian-Islamic culture were taken into account. Keywords: Graffiti, Street art, Semiology, Symbol, Vandalism. INTRODUCTION but also causes heavy costs. Importance of symbols and the Cities are centers of cultural and social activities so that one main urban elements in readability on one hand, and chaos in can witness the most disciplined and elegant appearance of urban landscape and mental image of the citizen on the other cultural and artistic works in cities.

  • 65 Introduction the Silver, Partially Gilded, Plate Found by the Czech
    Acta Archaeologica Lodziensia nr 66 Patryk Skupniewicz https://doi.org/10.26485/AAL/2020/66/6 SCENE OF FIGHTING TIGERS ON A SASANIAN PLATE FROM MES ‘AYNAK. NOTES ON THE COMPOSITION ABSTRACT The article discusses, from formal perspective, the mounted hunting scene on the Kushano-Sasanian silver plate found in Mes Aynak in Afghanistan. The scene represents the model related to other Sasanian silverware, however with significant variances. When compared the scene to other models defined by Author, conclusion is made that except for several “canonical” layouts, Sasanian toreuts, allowed themselves a dose of freedom in combining them. This phenomenon seems to be related to peripheries of the Sasanian Empire and model of a sword-wielding rider in combat with large felines while holding an object in outstretched left hand was defined as originating from Kushanshahr and combining Assyrian and Achaemenid formulae of men killing beasts with mounted archer/lancer layouts popular in Sasanian silver. Key words: Kushano-Sasanian art., silver plates, iconography SCENA WALKI Z TYGRYSAMI NA SASANIDZKIEJ PATERZE Z MES ‘AYNAK. UWAGI NA TEMAT KOMPOZYCJI ABSTRAKT W prezentowanym studium poddano ocenie, z formalnego punktu widzenia, scenę konnego polo- wania z kuszano-sasanidzkiej partery znalezionej w Mes Aynak, w Afganistanie. Scena reprezentuje model pokrewny dziełom znanym z toreutyki sasanidzkiej, jednakże z wyraźnymi różnicami. Porównując scenę z modelami wyróżnio- nymi przez Autora, pojawił się wniosek, że sasanidzcy mistrzowie obróbki srebra, poza „kanonicznymi” figurami, po- zwalali sobie na formalne eksperymenty. Jest to zjawisko znane z peryferii imperium Sasanidów, a model obejmujący jeźdźca uderzającego mieczem „kotowatego drapieżnika” a w wolnej, wyciągniętej ręce trzymającego inny obiekt, wykształcił się w Kuszanszahr i łączy w sobie asyryjskie i achemenidzkie formuły ludzi zabijających dzikie bestie z układami ukazującymi konnego łucznika czy jeźdźca operującego włócznią, znane z sasanidzkigo srebra.

An evolutionary explanation is completely different. Instead of explaining why people are different, it explains why we are all the same in ways that leave us vulnerable to disease. Why do we all have wisdom teeth, an appendix, and cells that if triggered can rampantly multiply out of control? [1] A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Beno?t Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion. http://www.kwsi.com/ynhti2009/image01.html A fractal often has the following features: 1.
