You Perceive. But, Hold This Item up to a Complementing Curved Mirror and There on the Mirror - Unfolds a Recognisable Image of a Man by Estelle Lovatt Imagine this. You stare at an abstract piece of sculpture without a clue as to its meaning, only what you perceive.

He plays with science alongside the mechanics of technology, our our perception of reality by using the most internet age and digital media. Where Henry Moore traditional of props employed by artists throughout would have used graph paper and Leonardo a western art history - the trickery of mirror and 'cartoon', Hurwitz fuses Einstein's theory E=mc2 reflection, in both image and meditation. His (energy, mass and the speed of light) to equate sculpture, like his business, is formalised, illusions of solidity, "making subatomic space schematic, stylised and symbolic in supporting understandable". Sculpting with physics as much as concentrated thought of logic and analysis, which, clay - creating that unlike anything I've ever seen again, makes me ask - science or art? Thinning the before - in sculpture or installation, Hurwitz is a dividing gap between art and science, Hurwitz is special-effects artist, whose effects are, indeed, very cognisant of the two being holistically co-joined, in special. Great art, its roots are in the soil of art the same way that we are naturally, comfortably, history that, bound by the fundamental forces of fine split between our spiritual and operational self. art, need science, just like a sprout needs watering. Shaping amorphous matter as emblematic, You don't need to be an art aficionado or physicist to revolutionary and truthful as The Creation, Hurwitz understand, engage with and feel touched by - the scientist of the art world - could only make his Hurwitz's brilliance in configuring Darwin and Freud artwork at this point in time. pitted against Duchamp and Picabia. Flying on the wings of his extremely imaginative Hurwitz engineers it all, changing the way you'll mind, its reliance is hinged on the advancements of look and think about sculpture, about art, indeed, ia d:':-JC.d opposlfe: Thinker about everything around you.

From what you I can see - or not - is that when Maths, Physics and Oh, come along now, do get a grip! Only can't. Philosophy cross, they cancel each other, denying Eyeing up a Hurwitz sculpture (don't forget it has to facts and blurring existence between reality and be in your line of vision), you soon realise it doesn't non-reality to within a believable pragmatism that actually exist. Invisible (pending your manoeuvre is abstract not imitative. Hurwitz's supremacy is around the sculpture), it's an optical proportion of being able to restore the abstract, returning it back falsehood nothing more than a projection; to reality saved - the inanimate from the animate; projected Uberreality making Super-Realism the outside from the inside; the transparent from sharper, crisper and more defined - to what the subversive; the poetic from the physical; the purpose?

Hurwitzt unique technique in working methods translates an abstract world back in to the figurative, to concepts of representation of surrealist fantasy conjured in earthly time. Bound back to the future, it's a peculiar hybrid that, as Hurwitz intends, "gives us the opportunity to digest how matter is a matter of perception". Once his narrative appears in front of you, you are permitted an enteftaining philosophy that disappears as fast as it came, around the twist of an axis; experience its impact before it shifts out of sight. As in Rejuvenation, 2009, as Hurwitz notes, "the resistance to the process of ageing as being an ancient human preoccupation, from Aeson in The Golden Fleece to the latest wonder drug that jump- starts dormant stem cells, our desperate belief in the fountain of youth refusing to die"' And so, Kiss of Chytrid,2009, looks at the "end of the amphibian frog, toad, salamander and newt.

It can be created using Graphic design techniques of perspective and using innovative print and precise design strategies. My first interest in anamorphic perspective was when producing an entry for the ‘Design Museum; 2014 Competition brief: Surprise.’[2] The theme of Surprise led me to discover the astonishment that viewers of anamorphic perspective art felt. Artists such as Jonty Hurwitz, joseph Egan and hunter Thomson; all of which are recognised for their modern approach to Anamorphosis, also created this amazement with their art.

    The University of Bergen Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies DIKULT350 Master’s Thesis in Digital Culture Spring 2017 The viral art effect How virality and viral art as a part of our social networks can affect our society and how we perceive interfaces. Lasse Huldt Pedersen Abstract ___________________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this study is to achieve a better understanding of virality and viral art beyond an object-oriented approach. Today our everyday lives are increasingly incorporated with Internet technology and our online representations of ourselves, and the social media platforms have become an influential source of information where they provide us with trending/viral content that shows up in abundance in our newsfeeds. Questions regarding how we are influenced by all this information arise all the time, with an ongoing debate about whether or not the Internet is a form of societies of control. The Internet as an intricate and sophisticated network that gives us the option of working from home and managing a lot of activities and actions without even leaving the bed in the morning, comes with a price. The cost is freedom, as our actions become monitored and a demand of availability becomes constant. As virality and viral art can spread very fast through the networks that the Internet consist of, they become parts of important events and topics. This cross-disciplinary study of the properties of virality and viral art as allegorical devices argues that viral art should not be understood as a standalone object but a combination of many elements present and part of our interaction online and how it can affect society.

  • Olin College AHS Capstone Fall 2014 Jeff Holzgrafe
    Olin College AHS Capstone Fall 2014 Jeff Holzgrafe Fine Art as a Force for Innovation in Greek Lifting Technologies Introduction “Hundreds of small new technologies and technological refinements occurred in the 800 years of the Hellenistic and Greco-Roman periods, but overall the technological bases of production did not change fundamentally during the period.” McClellan and Dorn Science and Technology in World History 2nd Ed., p88. “In art, [it is easy] to amass a glittering array of lasting classical discoveries” Stewart Classical Greece and the Birth of Western Art 1 Ed., p7. These quotes, taken from standard textbooks on the history of technology and art, illustrate a divide in the treatment of innovation in classical Greece. While these are oversimplified assessments of the scholarship in these subjects, they nonetheless capture the presiding view of Greece’s role in world history from two disparate perspectives. To the technologist, Greece was a place of dull cunning, whereas in art, it was a place of constant creative revolution. In this paper, I seek an avenue toward mending this discrepancy in the historiography of ancient Greece by examining the intersection of Greek art and technology in one device: the crane. Previous scholarship by Smith and others suggests that artistic innovation can lead to improvements in utilitarian techniques as well.1 If this holds true in ancient Greece, then we can begin to question how and why Greek improvements in the fine arts had a more lasting impact on the western world. This study focuses on the invention of the crane in the Archaic period, which provides a convenient place to explore art and technology intersections due to its general applicability and the relatively large amount of physical and textual evidence.
