  • Using a Projected Trompe L'oeil to Highlight a Church Interior from the Outside
    Using a projected Trompe L'Oeil to highlight a church interior from the outside A. Hoeben fieldOfView Lange Nieuwstraat 23b1 3111AC Schiedam the Netherlands [email protected] The St. Willibrordus Church in the city center of Utrecht (the Netherlands) is a prime example of the Gothic Revival architecture. The richly decorated church interior is, unfortunately, one of the best kept secrets of the city. In the semi permanent art installation presented in this paper, imagery showing the church interior is projected on the outside walls of the entrance of the church. By projecting onto a spherical mirror suspended from the entrance ceiling, the projection is reflected onto three walls and the ceiling. The resulting image, when seen from the street-level outside, creates an perspective illusion. This paper shows how the installation was implemented in the church in an unobtrusive way, and explains the calibration system that was developed for determining the pre-distortions required to project the Trompe L'Oeil. church interior, art installation, digital projection, perspective manipulation, optical illusion 1.

  • ART, TECHNOLOGY, and HIGH ART/LOW CULTURE DEBATES in CANONICAL AMERICAN ART HISTORY I. Overview in His Media Ar
    CHAPTER ONE: ART, TECHNOLOGY, AND HIGH ART/LOW CULTURE DEBATES IN CANONICAL AMERICAN ART HISTORY I. Overview In his Media Art History, Hans-Peter Schwarz of the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany (ZKM) wrote: “The history of the new media [sic] is inextricably linked with the history of the project of the modern era as a whole. It can only be described as the evolution of the human experience of reality, i.e. of the social reality relationship in the modern age.” I begin with his words, which have strong resonance for me, perhaps beyond his initial intent or ultimate direction. His astute triangulation of those three concepts—new media history, the project of the modern era, and “social reality”—form the nexus of my theoretical investigation. For it seems that current social realities and the project of the modern era largely govern new media’s reception within the Western art history canon. Perhaps clarity regarding the ideological interconnection of these three elements will only be possible with more historical distance. However, this dissertation represents a step toward a better understanding of the sometimes-vicious canonical opposition to the fusion of art and technology, in light of these intersections. Key are his two phrases: “the project of the modern era,” and “the evolution of the human experience of reality, i.e. of the social reality relationship in the modern age.” On the basis of Schwarz’s text, I take the second phrase to mean the dehumanization that results from industrialization and modern warfare. In regard to artistic production, he rightly underscores the abrupt reorganization of vision precipitated by, for example, developments in photography and cinematography during the early modernist period.

    GUEST: TERENCE KNAPP LSS 508 (LENGTH: 26:46) FIRST AIR DATE: 10/18/11 My feet have always been a problem. Well, ever since I’ve been to the islands, that is. Oh, not when I was a boy in Belgium; no, I was as good on my feet as anybody in those days, running around the countryside, helping out on the farm, driving the cows in at night, skating on the River Dijle. Why, the night before I left home for good, I walked fourteen miles to say goodbye to my mother at the Shrine of Our Lady. Twelve years I promised her. This studio at PBS Hawaiʻi has been the scene of many wonderful productions. From music specials, educational and informational programs, to shows about the arts, our cameras have captured them all. But in 1976, over a series of several days, a high water mark in local television was set. Journey with us to that time, as we look back on the career of actor Terrence Knapp, here on Long Story Short. Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox is Hawaiʻi’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition. Aloha mai kākou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. In this edition of Long Story Short, you’ll meet a man who is considered by many to be a cultural treasure of Hawaiʻi, a devoted teacher of the dramatic arts, who chose to relocate from the British Isles of Shakespeare to an island home of a very different kind, an actor who has performed with Sir Laurence Olivier in the National Theater of Great Britain, and who mentored Booga Booga’s James Grant Benton.

  • ERWIN REDL B
    ERWIN REDL b. 1963, Gföhl, Austria Lives in Ohio Known for his architecturally scaled light installations, Erwin Redl investigates the process of “reverse engineering” by (re-)translating the abstract aesthetic language of virtual reality and 3-D computer modeling back into architectural environments. In this body of work, space is experienced as a second skin, our social skin. Visual perception works in conjunction with corporeal motion, and the subsequent passage of time. In Los Angeles, the Pacific Design Center’s new Red Building by Cesar Pelli features four permanent installations by Redl, to be completed in November 2012. He also recently won two major public art competitions in with installations now in progress for the New York Police Academy’s new building in Queens as well as the Union Square / Market Street subway station in San Francisco, California. In 2013 he will open a new installation at the Borusan Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. A computer-controlled 580-foot long outdoor LED-installation at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, is Redl’s largest work to date, completed in 2010. Among his most memorable of interventions was created for the 2002 Whitney Biennial, in a piece that covered the Whitney Museum's facade with a three multi-color LED veils. In 2008 he was commissioned by the World Expo in Zaragoza, Spain, to create a sound and light installation for the Austrian Pavilion. Redl’s work is collected privately as well as institutionally including the Whitney Museum of American Art New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Milwaukee Art Museum, among other national and international museums.

    WELCOMECURATING THE CREATIVE REIMAGINING An Arts-based Journey to Reflect, Reset, and Reimagine the Future From animation to sculpture, film to the spoken word, murals, paintings, photographs, mixed-media pieces, political performance pieces, and even comedic satire, The Future Art Awards candidly explores a captured reflection of our times, offering new pathways of thinking, new modes of learning, and a virtual platform for the celebration of our creative reimagining of a more free world. While the pandemic may indeed serve as a catalyst for reflection, we have been here before at pivotal moments all throughout human history—only to return to the status quo or settle for unsatisfying incremental action. As we’ve pondered this phenomenon of an imposed inertia, ripe for change, the human spirit bursts forth and into the streets with the undeniable yearning for racial, social, and environmental justice, and ultimately, a rebalancing of the scales of power. How do we leverage the pandemic as a catalyst to reimagine alternative futures and to look to the healing power of the arts for a blueprint for meaningful change? After all, the arts have built cities and written histories. They’ve transformed dilapidated and abandoned streets and buildings into flourishing communities. They’ve enlightened intercultural understandings and represent a universal human experience through the beauty of a mosaic of distinct expressions. The arts often honor and pay tribute to our past by creating a record of what has come before, anchoring us for our move into the future by envisioning and materializing what comes next. By reestablishing context, whether by naming a truth, telling a story, or making a community visible, we distinguish ourselves through art against the often-homogenizing effects of globalization and the ongoing assault on arts’ education across centers of learning, both near and far.

  • How Can Light Art Manipulate the Visual Perception of Space?
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 10-11 SEPTEMBER 2020, VIA DESIGN, VIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, HERNING, DENMARK HOW CAN LIGHT ART MANIPULATE THE VISUAL PERCEPTION OF SPACE? Zahra RAHIMI and Laila STEEN Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway ABSTRACT Transitioning from a field of engineering to a medium for more artistic expressions, lighting has changed from strictly functional lightboxes to elaborate light-based designs and installations. Both artists and architects have used light as a medium to manipulate visual perception and impressions. This paper explores the interaction between light, visual perceptions, and space. Through a case study of artworks that experiment with light, space, and visual perceptions, it discusses how light art can impact perceptions by the way it illuminates spaces. The findings demonstrate the impressions and perceptions created by light art and coloured light as an artistic material. The aesthetic application of light can remove boundaries and define a space in a different way. Although lighting installations are primarily part of architecture and interior design, this article proposes how light can be applied in design by manipulating the visual perception of the design on users. Keywords: Light, space, visual perception, colour, impression 1 INTRODUCTION Light creates the aesthetical and functional aspects as a physical and dynamic medium to highlight the essential details and materials of space [9]. It adds an intangible explanation to space and object, which is more adaptable to change in comparison with other materials in space [12]. Moreover, light is a vital factor of designs and art installations, as it can affect the experience of the space for the viewer [13].

  • Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton's
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 18 (33), 2018; DOI: 10.18778/2083-8530.18.05 ∗ Rhema Hokama Shakespeare in Hawai‘i: Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton’s Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian Pidgin Translation of Twelfth Night1 Abstract: In 1974, the Honolulu-based director James Grant Benton wrote and staged Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian pidgin translation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. In Benton’s translation, Malolio (Malvolio) strives to overcome his reliance on pidgin English in his efforts to ascend the Islands’ class hierarchy. In doing so, Malolio alters his native pidgin in order to sound more haole (white). Using historical models of Protestant identity and Shakespeare’s original text, Benton explores the relationship between pidgin language and social privilege in contemporary Hawai‘i. In the first part of this essay, I argue that Benton characterizes Malolio’s social aspirations against two historical moments of religious conflict and struggle: post-Reformation England and post-contact Hawai‘i. In particular, I show that Benton aligns historical caricatures of early modern puritans with cultural views of Protestant missionaries from New England who arrived in Hawai‘i beginning in the 1820s. In the essay’s second part, I demonstrate that Benton crafts Malolio’s pretentious pidgin by modeling it on Shakespeare’s own language. During his most ostentatious outbursts, Malolio’s lines consist of phrases extracted nearly verbatim from Shakespeare’s original play. In Twelf Nite, Shakespeare’s language becomes a model for speech that is inauthentic, affected, and above all, haole. Keywords: Twelfth Night, Reformation studies, puritanism, pidgin and creole languages.
