ISSN (Online) 2620-0635 ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsa.0101.03029d _________________________________________________________________________ Video Installation in Public Space Lili Atila Dzhagarova South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Blagoevgrad Theater and Cinema Art Received 31 May 2018 ▪ Revised 27 June 2018 ▪ Accepted 29 July 2018 Abstract The present study is dedicated to the research of video installations placed in the public space, such as exhibition halls, streets and theatrical spaces. The theme “Video installations in the public space” is the understanding of the essence of video and space and its aspects through the production of various spatial solutions and practical imaging solutions in the field of video art. The subject of the study is essence of the problem. In the case of this study the object is the video installations, and the subject is the process of their creation, and the concept of environment. The whole range of phenomena studied is related to the works of video art, their development and expression of opportunities and the idea of environment is an aspect of exploring the space in which they are presented. Keywords: installations, video, public space, phenomenon, movement. 1. Introduction When we think of artists, we think of paint on canvas, or clay masterpieces, or beautiful, timeless drawings, but what do you think when you hear digital artists? The acceptance of digital art into the mainstream art community is a controversy that is slowly becoming history. The controversy is essentially what many people believe in that art is created by the computer, and not by the artist.

  • From Multimedia to Software Art Installations
    Collaborative and Transdisciplinary practices in Cyberart: from Multimedia to Software Art installations Diana Domingues Eliseo Reategui NTAV Lab – Universidade de Caxias do Sul/CNPQ Mestrado em Comunicação e Linguagens – Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná Brazil How to synthesize Leonardo? The efficiency of collaborative practices related to complex systems in Cyberart dissolves the old rupture and the well-known historical divergences between artists and scientists. The main point of convergence is when all disciplines investigate the same issues, all sciences become one unique science. Interactivity, immersion, autonomy and mobile connections in Cyberart require collaborative practices related to Science of Complexity and its emergent proprieties. Speculative software are written to respond for artistic projects and they place art in the three recent realms of “engineering art”, “engineering culture” and “engineering nature”1. These investigation fields respond to the high level of Cyberart’s philosophical, technical, biological, social, ethical and emotional implications of scientific discoveries. A variety of disciplines related to the use of computers and networks in genetics, engineering, biotechnology, cognitive sciences, communication, anthropology, computer science, and other areas require sometimes a scripted software when applied in art practices. Writing software is not new in art practices, it has been done since the beginning of computer art, mainly in the development of formalistic aesthetics. However, artists embrace nowadays the design of adequate software by taking algorithmic information content for searching “rules” to be included in the code. Art works in cyberspace search for forms of communication close to the expansion of life in the post-human culture. The focus is the human factor of technologies or the humanization of technologies in the cross- boundaries with creativity and changes in daily life2.

  • Installation Art 1 Installation Art
    Installation art 1 Installation art Installation art describes an artistic genre of site-specific, three-dimensional works designed to transform a viewer's perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however the boundaries between these terms overlap. History Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public- and private spaces. The genre incorporates a very broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their evocative qualities, as well as new media such as video, sound, performance, immersive virtual reality and the internet. Many installations are site-specific in that they are designed to exist only in the space for which they were created. A number of institutions focusing on Installation art were created from the 1980s onwards, suggesting the need for Installation to be seen as a separate discipline. These included the Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, the Museum of Installation in London, and the Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor, MI, among others. Installation art came to prominence in the 1970s but its roots can be identified in Marcel Duchamp, Fountain, 1917. earlier artists such as Marcel Duchamp and his use of the readymade and Kurt Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz Schwitters' Merz art objects, rather than more traditional craft based sculpture. The intention of the artist is paramount in much later installation art whose roots lie in the conceptual art of the 1960s. This again is a departure from traditional sculpture which places its focus on form.

    PRESS CONTACT: Cari Feiler Bender, Relief Communications, LLC 610-416-1216 or [email protected] MURAL ARTS PHILADELPHIA AND MURAL ARTS INSTITUTE ANNOUNCE VIRTUAL ART & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE SYMPOSIUM PHILADELPHIA – April 15, 2021 – The Mural Arts Institute is hosting a virtual and free week-long symposium looking at the transformative work happening at the intersection of community-based cultural practice and environmental justice . The Arts + Environmental Justice Symposium , virtual for the first time, invites artists, activists, scientists, scholars, and government officials to discuss how creative people and practices are helping meet the challenges of this moment, and how everyone can build on that to make a just transition a reality. These changemakers will be logging in from Tribal, urban, rural, and suburban communities throughout the nation for this virtual symposium May 17-21, 2021. For more information and to register, visit: muralarts.org/events/arts-environmental- justice-symposium/ . The COVID-19 pandemic has further stressed the same communities already grappling with acute climate and environmental crises, both economically and in terms of inequitable health care access and outcomes. The compounding injustices of our social systems and extractive economic model are unsustainable and impossible to ignore any longer. Calls for transformative change are growing louder. In times like these, the essential roles that artists and cultural workers play in communities becomes clear including helping us heal, stay connected, make meaning out of pain, imagine our better future together, and take collective action. The week-long symposium will be book-ended with two keynote sessions – conversations with thought leaders in environmental justice. Attendees may attend all or a few of the sessions which are scheduled in the afternoons of May 17-21.

  • Philosophy @ the Virtual Art Museum: Abstract Art
    Philosophy @ The Virtual Art Museum: Abstract Art René Magritte, The Treachery of Images (This is Not a Pipe), 1929, Los Angeles County Museum of Art 1. The text in this painting is written in French. It says, “This is not a pipe.” That seems paradoxical since the image above it is of a pipe. Can you think of a way to interpret the statement that makes it true? What interpretation would make it false? 2. How many different things could the word “this” refer to? When you interpret the “this” in those ways, is the painting saying something true or false? 3. The image of the pipe is very realistic. Would it change the way you view the painting if the pipe was obviously drawn, say as a young child would? 4. Why do you think the painting is titled, “The Treachery of Images”? Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chairs, 1965, Museum of Modern Art, New York Wall Text from "One and Three Chairs": 1. Are there really three chairs in this art installation? If not, how many are there? 2. Do you think one of the chairs is more real than the others? Which one and why? Or do you think they all equally real? 3. Why do you think the artist included three different types of “chairs” in this installation? 1 Philosophy @ The Virtual Art Museum: Abstract Art Mel Bochner, Language is Not Transparent, 1970, Mel Bochner Archive 1.

  • Creating Continuity Between Computer Art History and Contemporary Art
    CAT 2010 London Conference ~ 3rd February Bruce Wands _____________________________________________________________________ CREATING CONTINUITY BETWEEN COMPUTER ART HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY ART Bruce Wands Chair, MFA Computer Art Director of Computer Education Director, New York Digital Salon School of Visual Arts 209 East 23 Street New York, NY 10010 USA [email protected] www.mfaca.sva.edu www.nydigitalsalon.org Computer art was started by a small group of pioneering artists who had the vision to see what digital tools and technology could bring to the creative process. The technology at the time was primitive, compared to what we have today, and these artists faced resistance from the traditional art establishment. Several organizations, such as the New York Digital Salon, were started to promote digital creativity through exhibitions, publications and websites. This paper will explore how to create continuity between computer art history and a new generation of artists that does not see making art with computers as unusual and views it as contemporary art. INTRODUCTION The origins of computer art trace back over fifty years as artists began to experiment and create artwork with new technologies. Even before computers were invented, photography, radio, film and television opened up new creative territories. Many people point to the photographs of abstract images taken of an oscilloscope screen that Ben Laposky called Oscillons as some of the first electronic art images, which foreshadowed the development of computer art. While the system he used was essentially analog, the way in which the images were created was through mathematics and electronic circuitry. Another artist working at that time was Herbert Franke, and as the author of Computer Graphics – Computer Art, originally published in 1971, and followed in 1985 by an expanded second edition, he began to document the history of computer art and the artists who were involved.
