ABSTRACT Erewhon is a geographical location, a novel, and a fragment of our technological imaginary. Described by Samuel Butler as somewhere between nowhere and elsewhere, Erewhon provides a framework for understanding antipodean media art histories. Its fictional representation remains uniquely New Zealand: a utopian society set within a clean green country apparently isolated from networked global systems. In Erewhon Butler recognised an ecological intensity that heralded a terrifying shift in societal and technical relations. This paper examines how media artists engage this nowhere place, as both a historical formation and present day high country sheep farm. Artists including Aaron and Hannah Beehre, Jane and Louise Wilson, David Haines and Joyce Hinterding have revisited the multiple mediated layers of Erewhon. Focused on machinic connectivities as well as the morals, social constructions and economic models described in its fictional incarnation, their works suggest an ongoing commitment to a potential future elsewhere and to the construction of media histories that are embedded in concrete locations. In placing the long term concerns of ecology alongside the hopelessness of utopia, this paper suggests that Erewhon continues to offer a critical map for the histories of media aesthetics, machines and humans. KEYWORDS utopia, media ecologies, New Zealand, Erewhon, nature All paradises, all utopias are designed by who is not there, by the people who are not allowed in. (Morrison, 1998) Now that the cloud was there, I began to doubt my memory, and to be uncertain whether it had been more than a blue line of distant vapour that had filled up the opening. (Butler, 1872: 56) European settlement in Aotearoa New Zealand during the early nineteenth century was predicated on the notion of creating a new society that escaped the class constraints of Britain. It was a country built on hard work, direct engagement with ‘the land’ and the opportunity to control and master an untouched wilderness. Blinkered to the complex artistic, economic, cultural and social connections to place held by Maori, the subsequent history of New Zealand maintained this element of colonial utopianism. Here was a country where a world dreamt and imagined had the potential to become real. In 1858 the British author and satirist Samuel Butler arrived in New Zealand and began work as a run-holder in an area of mid-Canterbury that he named Mesopotamia – the mountainous area surrounding it he called Erewhon. The farm became the setting for a dystopic tale of machinic and societal control. Published in 1872 Erewhon turned the South Island landscape into a fictional world that held a mirror up to the hypocrisies ofVictorian society. As a young traveller journeys over the mountains, he finds a new society of green pastures where all technology is feared and banned and where illness is criminalised. In Erewhon Butler recognised an ecological intensity that heralded a terrifying shift in the relations of nature to technology; he found dystopic virtuality within utopic

  • The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

    Virtual Homage to the Dead: an Analysis of Digital Memorials in the Social Web

    Virtual Homage to the Dead: An Analysis of Digital Memorials in the Social Web Aron Daniel Lopes, Cristiano Maciel, and Vinicius Carvalho Pereira Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) Laboratório de Ambientes Virtuais Interativos (LAVI) Av. Fernando Corrêa da Costa, nº2367 - Cuiabá/MT - Brazil -78060-000 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Considering that many real-world cultural practices are now migrating to virtual environments, the expression of mourning and bereavement is also being imported to the virtual world, by means of the so-called digital memorials, supported by increasingly new and complex technologies. In this paper, we undertake a literature review on real and digital memorials, as well as social networks. Then, through empirical observation of digital memorials in Brazil, we investigate if they have characteristics of the social web. Next, by means of an interaction test and a questionnaire, we analyze how users feel when interacting with digital memorials and their evaluation on the functionalities of those applications. Finally, we approach the difficulties found when studying this kind of tools and our perspectives for future works. Keywords: digital memorials, social web, social networks, death. 1 Introduction In modern societies, digital technologies are increasingly embedded in our daily activities, thus changing the way we see the world and act upon it. That leads real- world social practices to migrate into virtual environments and acquire new meanings, including cultural expressions triggered by someone’s death. Death is an unavoidable event which entails both sacred and profane rites, most often performed by bereaved people. Among those rites, we can find wakes, funerals, burials, requiem masses, prayers and the building of memorials.

Enfin, pour illustrer mon propos, j’y presente mes mises en pratiques realisees lors de mon etude du sujet. abstract Animation is a perfect medium to abstract reality and to simplify forms and movements. Thanks to its own visual language and aesthetical values, stylised animation conveys meaning as well as amplifies the spectator’s emotions. Why and how are stylized animated movies made ? Using available literature, my own experiences and a series of interviews made with people involved with the industry, this thesis takes a philosophical, anthropological and technical approach to the principles and codes of stylized animation. It highlights the reasons why a director would choose this route and explores the possibilities of the available tools while presenting related 2D, 3D and hybrid works.

  • French Theory

    French Theory

    FLUSSER STUDIES 31 Martha Schwendener Flusser and French Theory “Saussure did not impress me.”1 So wrote Flusser in the 1969 essay “In Search of Meaning (Philosoph- ical Self-portrait),” before he returned to Europe and settled for the last decades of his life in France. Rather than Francophone writers – and particularly Saussure, the linguist and figurehead of a strain of language philosophy that would guide French thought in the twentieth century – Flusser acknowledged a host of other thinkers: Kant, Camus, José Ortega y Gasset, Nietzsche, Cassirer, Cohen, Hartmann, the entire Marburg School, the Viennese School, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, Joyce, Pound, Eliot, Goethe, Thomas Mann, and particularly Kafka and Rilke. In other words, practically anything but French writers. However, the last two decades of Flusser’s life brought him in close con- tact with French thinkers, from Abraham Moles to Jean Baudrillard. Moreover, his increasing contact with German media theory and the U.S. art world, which was besotted with French “theory” (a desig- nation I will explain in a moment) were crucial to his legacy. Paradoxically, even though Flusser’s reception lagged in France, I would argue that his importance is in large part due to the avenues opened up by French theory and the “model” – one of Flusser’s favorite terms – for his own visionary thinking. First, French “theory.” Anaël Lejeune, Olivier Mignon, and Raphaël Pirenne write that French theory refers “roughly to the structuralist and post-structuralist thought that developed in France from the 1960s to the 1980s” and which should be differentiated from “French thought.”1 French theory, as opposed to French thought, offered a degree of heterogeneity and intellectual freedom – which is why it was largely adopted by radical thinkers, in the vein of Flusser.
