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 reality. Butler’s observations of machinic ecology raise questions of the relationships between real fictions and virtual potentials as realised in contemporary media art. This paper begins with three recent artworks that in very different ways use communications media

    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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Engaging with Histories, Theories, Practices, and Discursive Strategies in Global Contexts
    CONFERENCE THEME Reconceptualizing Diversity: Engaging with Histories, Theories, Practices, and Discursive Strategies in Global Contexts. The American Educational Studies Association (AESA) and the International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) are presently accepting proposals for their joint conference “Reconceptualizing Diversity: Engaging with Histories, Theories, Practices, and Discursive Strategies in Global Contexts.” Together we will provide a critical space for socio-historical, political and philosophical dialogues focused on reframing diversity within a global context. In particular, we are interested in submissions that address diversity as a multifaceted and dynamic idea as well as the structures that transform, maintain, and reproduce the many intersectionalities of identity. By focusing on colonialism, settler ideologies, capitalism, and neoliberalism, among other related topics we can resituate diversity in a global context. Turning to issues of transnational immigration, cosmopolitan citizenships, and globalized knowledge networks, we might find new approaches to equity and social justice in education. Who We Are The American Educational Studies Association (AESA) was established in 1968 as an international learned society for students, teachers, research scholars, and administrators who are interested in the foundations of education. AESA is a society primarily comprised of college and university professors who teach and research in the field of education utilizing one or more of the liberal arts disciplines
