  • Tina Rivers Ryan
    McLuhan’s Bulbs: Light Art and the Dawn of New Media Tina Rivers Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Tina Rivers Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT McLuhan’s Bulbs: Light Art and the Dawn of New Media Tina Rivers Ryan “McLuhan’s Bulbs” argues that the 1960s movement of “light art” is the primary site of negotiation between the discourses of “medium” and “media” in postwar art. In dialogue with the contemporaneous work of Marshall McLuhan, who privileged electric light as the ur- example of media theory, light art eschewed the traditional symbolism of light in Western art, deploying it instead as a cipher for electronic media. By embracing both these new forms of electronic media and also McLuhan’s media theory, light art ultimately becomes a limit term of the Greenbergian notion of medium-specificity, heralding the transformation of “medium” into “media” on both a technological and a theoretical level. This leads to a new understanding of the concept of media as not peripheral, but rather, central to the history and theory of contemporary art. Drawing on extensive archival research to offer the first major history of light art, the project focuses in particular on the work of leading light artist Otto Piene, whose sculptural “light ballets,” “intermedia” environments, and early video projects responded to the increasing technological blurring of media formats by bringing together sound and image, only to insist on the separation between the two. Piene’s position would be superseded by the work of light artists who used electronic transducers to technologically translate between light and other phenomena, particularly sounds.

What is causing you the most problems.India, China and parts of Europe have all increased foreign direct investment in Africa, and yet the complexity and diversity of this vast continent pose risks and challenges for those investments. They were great. The contributors then redefine' argument by connecting it with theoretical movements that have been adverse to it - feminism, narratology and reflexive reading. Now, as mutual-fund investments continue to be a roller coaster, Brock updates his indispensable advice on finding asset streams, working during retirement, maximizing your health insurance, and choosing a community and housing to show how to - manage the quicksand of the housing market (your best asset) - pay for the spiraling costs of prescription drugs - discover new cost-cutting savings - plan for shifts over time in your financial goals Boasting expanded resource lists and worksheets, Retire on Less Than You Think is the best guide available for making your retirement dreams a reality. In addition, it locates the qualities that give to the great variety of Victorian novels a "family resemblance," the material conditions of their production, their tendency to multiply plots, their obsession with class and money, their problematic handling of gender questions, and their commitment to realist representation.

Mais c'est probablement dans les domaines de l'architecture et des technologies de la construction des bâtiments qu'on peut déceler une des plus surprenantes évolutions : la ré-actualisation des C architectures en terre. Dans l'esprit de la majorité de nos contemporains, la construction en terre crue est méprisée car liée à des images d'archaisme et de pauvreté. Le CCI entend démontrer l'inverse avec une exposition polémique et spectaculaire qui s'articule en deux actes : traditions et modernité des architectures en terre à travers le monde. G) La première partie met en scène une sorte d'inventaire international (30 pays sur les 5 continents) des multiples facettes de ce patrimoine culturel très o méconnu malgré son puissant pouvoir de séduction. La deuxième partie de l'exposition alimente un débat sur l'actualité et l'avenir en présentant de nombreuses réalisations architecturales récentes en terre dans les pays industrialisés et ceux du tiers monde. En effet, la crise de l'énergie et la prise de conscience écologique entraînent depuis peu la réactualisation et la modernisation de ces procédés de construction tombés en désuétude durant les périodes d'euphorie économique du 20e siècle. N'est-il pas surprenant de constater
