In this role, he has been instrumental in establishing Masters’ degree programs in Arts Computing and Computer Games (in Programming as well as Art and Design); he has established collaborations with artists including Brower Hatcher, William Latham, Patrick Tresset, Rui F. Antunes, Carol MacGillivray, Daniel Berio, Memo Akten, and Terrance Broad; and he has also launched two related entrepreneurial ventures: London Geometry Ltd. (together with Prof. William Latham) and DynAIkon Ltd. (together with Prof. Stefan Rueger). Frederic received his Ph.D. from Brown University, Engineering Division, with a focus on 3D shape understanding. Juliette Bessette is a researcher in art history (Sorbonne University, Centre Andre´ Chastel). Her research focuses on the impact of technical and scientific changes on artistic creation and history of ideas in the post-World War II era in Europe and the USA. She is also part of the project “Mass Media/Transmedia/Postmedia: research at the interface between arts and technologies” (DFK – Paris). She is a lecturer at Sorbonne University and at the Ecole du Louvre. G.W. Smith is an English Literature major turned software engineer turned kinetic sculptor; the creator of the BLAST (blocked asynchronous transmission) data communications protocol; the founder of Space Machines Corporation, a kinetic sculpture and motion display consultancy; a contributor, as a techno-art theorist, to journals such as Arts and Leonardo; and the holder of two patents in the field of electro-mechanical display systems. vii Foreword In 1843, the renowned mathematician Lady Ada Lovelace, often known as the world’s first computer programmer, published her famous “Notes” (Lovelace 1843), and which, remarkably, included some insightful visions on computational art. The “Analytical Engine” was a mechanical computer designed by the inventor Charles Babbage in 1837. It was only partially built in that time, but this did not stop Lovelace from designing programs for it and theorizing on its potential. She had the insight to see that it could perform beyond just acting on numbers to solve equations, but could also conduct symbolic manipulation to perform true general purpose computing. She also had the vision to foresee that the Analytical Engine could be used to compose generative music: Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent or even that it could create generative imagery, “We may say most aptly, that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.” However, it is another of her rather controversial statements that I would like to recall: The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with. Almost two centuries later, we are still grappling with this statement and still trying to understand our relationship

McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT HARPER, ELEANOR R., M.A., June 2010, Art History Restoring Subjectivity and Brazilian Identity: Lygia Clark’s Therapeutic Practice (125 pp.) Director of Thesis: Jaleh Mansoor This thesis examines the oeuvre of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (1920-1988) with respect to her progressive interest in and inclusion of the viewing subject within the work of art. Responding to the legacy of Portuguese occupation in her home of Brazil, Clark sought out an art that embraced the viewing subject and contributed to their sense of subjectivity. Challenging traditional models of perception, participation, and objecthood, Clark created objects that exceeded the bounds of the autonomous transcendental picture plane. By fracturing the surfaces of her paintings, creating objects that possess an interior and exterior, and by requiring her participants to physically manipulate her work, Clark demonstrated an alternative model of the art object and experience. These experiments took her into the realm of therapy under the influence of psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott’s work.

The literature on what is generally called Latin American Geometric Abstraction has grown so rapidly in the past few years, there is no doubt that the moment calls for some refl ection. The fi eld has been enriched by publications devoted to Geometric Abstraction in Uruguay (mainly on Joaquín Torres García and his School of the South), Argentina (Concrete Invention Association of Art and Madí), Brazil (Concretism and Neoconcretism), and Venezuela (Geometric Abstraction and Kinetic Art). The bulk of the writing on these movements, and on a cadre of well-established artists, has been published in exhibition catalogs and not in academic monographs, marking the coincidence of this trend with the consolidation of major private collections and the steady increase in auction house prices.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

(Head of Department) Signature Date CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the study Traditional wall painting is an old art practiced in many different parts of the world. This art form has existed since pre-historic times according to (Skira, 1950) and (Kissick, 1993). In Africa, cave paintings exist in many countries such as “Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Zimbabwe and South Africa”, (Wilcox, 1984). Traditional wall painting mostly by women can be found in many parts of Africa including Ghana, Southern Africa and Nigeria. These paintings are done mostly to enhance the appearance of the buildings and also serve other purposes as well. “Wall painting has been practiced in Northern Ghana for centuries after the collapse of the Songhai Empire,” (Ross and Cole, 1977).

Duas educadoras de infância experientes exploraram o MyPaint com uma mesa de desenho digital com os seus grupos. Durante a experiência, foram recolhidos dados sobre a forma como as crianças se apropriaram do uso do software e sobre dimensões da sua aprendizagem do e com o software. Através de uma análise de conteúdo, diferentes aspetos da experiência foram agrupados em temas: organização da exploração do software nos dois contextos; aprendizagem das crianças sobre desenho e materiais de desenho, com relações entre o uso do software o desenho tradicional; e a colaboração para a aprendizagem. A discussão destaca as dimensões da Pedagogia da Educação de Infância mais relevantes na experiência.
