They took refuge in neutral Switzerland. • They were angry at the European society that had allowed the war to happen. • Dada was a form of protest. • It’s intention was to provoke and shock The name “Dada” was chosen because it was nonsensical. They wanted a name that made the least amount of sense. • They used any public forum to spit on: nationalism rationalism materialism and society in general Mona Lisa with a Mustache “The Fountain” “The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even” George Groz “Remember Uncle Augustus the Unhappy Inventor”(collage) Raoul Hausmann “ABCD” (collage) Merit Oppenheim “Luncheon in Fur” Using pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them Artist use borrowed elements in their creation of a new work • Dada self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming “acceptable.” • The Dada movement and the Surrealists have influenced many important artists.

Ross Center for Tapestry Studies Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, Tucson [email protected] Historically, European tapestry making involved collaboration among artists, designers, draftsmen, cartoon makers, spinners, dyers, weavers, patrons, dealers, and other professionals. This specialized system of labor continued in modified form into the twentieth century in certain European and American weaving workshops. In contrast and with a small number of exceptions, American tapestry in the last half of the twentieth century has centered on weaver-artists working individually in their studios from their own designs. This paper focuses, in a very preliminary way, on one exceptional example of continuity, or revival, of the European specialized labor system—the creation of a group of twentieth century tapestries orchestrated by editeur Gloria F.

    Ovidiu Solcan Collage Artist RO&US.Cdr

    OVIDIU SOLCAN | COLLAGE ARTIST OVIDIU SOLCAN COLLAGE ARTIST Ovidiu Solcan is the creator of spectacular carefully designed pop-art collages, in which, at a closer look, one can discover interesting details that might escape an inattentive glance. Ovidiu was born in 1983 in the comunist Bucharest, Romania, where he lived and studied architecture. His passion for art started at an early age but the University of Architecture influenced him to start producing recycled magazine collages as a step forward from his previous mix media artworks (digital, graffiti and acrylic). The result was so exciting that, ever since, he has been more fascinated by the torn pieces of paper than paints. Artworks of great architects like Le Corbusier and Friedensreich Hundertwasser were the starting point of his inspiration for his collage art technique as a personal manner to express his visual concepts. He enjoys working with nothing but recycled magazines and all pieces are manually tear or cut apart and glued to the canvas. @ovidiu.solcan has a large audience on Instagram – one of his major ways of exposing his art. As in real life Ovidiu’s artworks have been shown in exhibitions like: - ARTWALK STREET FESTIVAL – Bucharest 2017 & 2018 - North Sea Jazz Festival Rotterdam 2019 - #Brancusi heARTbeat #5th Edition @ Qreator Bucharest 2019 & 2020 - MONEY GO ROUND – Rosso Gallery 2020 – Rome - Luxury The Concept Store 2020 – Hamburg - Pavot Gallery 2020 – Bucharest Ovidiu had a solo studio gallery where his creative process was exhibited live as an installation at The Grand Avenue – Marriott in March - August 2018. During 2019 Ovidiu had a project sharing the joy of collage creation in partnership with Mastercard and Daruieste Viata Association.

  • Making Paper from Trees

    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.
  • The Method of Making Models from Sheets of Blotting Paper

    The Method of Making Models from Sheets of Blotting Paper

    THE METHOD OF MAKING MODELS FROM SI-IEETS OF BLOTTING PAPER. BY SUSANNA PHELPS GAGE. Ithaca, New York. The Born Method of reconstructing models from wax plates is in use in all the larger laboratories of Anatomy and Embryology. Various modifications of that method have been introduced, notably at Johns IIopkins University. For smaller laboratories and isolated investigators the wax plates are difficult to prepare or to obtain already made. More- over, in the larger laboratories ihe preparation of the plates is a much dreaded piece of drudgery to be done in the basement. The apparatus is cumbersome and if at all accurate, expensive. Like any other ap- paratus it requires some skill to use it with success. Any one who has either cast or rolled wax plates will not need a statement of the inconveniences. In 1905, it occurred to me that sheets of blotting paper might serve instead of wax plates. A small model was at once made which showed its feasibility. Models made of this material were demonstrated at thc Association of American Anatomists in December, 1905, ( Amer. Jour. Anat. V., 1905-06, p. XXIII) and the method was further demonstrated at the International Zoological Congress held in Boston, August, 1907'. It has also been used successfully in the embryologic and anatomic laboratories of Cornell University and the University of West Virginia. Blotting paper models were demonstrated by Dr. J. H. Hathaway and by Dr. J. B. Johnston at the Association of American Anatomists held in New York, 1906 (Proc. Assoc. Amer. Anatomists, Anat. Record, April 1, 1907,).

    IJCSI International Journal of Computer Science Issues, Vol. 8, Issue 4, July 2011 ISSN (Online): 1694-0814 www.IJCSI.org 1 Picture Collage with Genetic Algorithm and Stereo vision Hesam Ekhtiyar1, Mahdi Sheida2 and Mahmood Amintoosi3 1 Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sabzevar Tarbiat Moallem University, Sabzevar, Iran, [email protected] 2 Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sabzevar Tarbiat Moallem University, Sabzevar, Iran, [email protected] 3 Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Sabzevar Tarbiat Moallem University, Sabzevar, Iran, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, a salient region extraction method for creating picture collage based on stereo vision is proposed. Picture collage is a kind of visual image summary to arrange all input images on a given canvas, allowing overlay, to maximize visible visual information. The salient regions of each image are firstly extracted and represented as a depth map. The output picture collage shows as many visible salient regions (without being overlaid by others) from all images as possible. A very efficient Genetic algorithm is used here for the optimization. The experimental results showed the superior performance of the proposed method. Fig. 1 LEFT IMAGES OF SOME STEREO IMAGES USED IN THIS PAPER.

  • Recycling Potential of Textile Solid Waste

    Recycling Potential of Textile Solid Waste

    Waste Management and the Environment IX 125 RECYCLING POTENTIAL OF TEXTILE SOLID WASTE MOHAMMAD FAHIM HASAN, NOWRIN MOW, MOHAMMAD RAKIBUL ALAM, SARDAR MOHAMMAD ABIR HASAN & ROWSHAN MAMTAZ Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Bangladesh ABSTRACT With increasing production of textile products, textile industries (TIs) are generating a considerable amount of liquid and solid wastes which bring in many adverse impacts on the environment such as landfill occupation, contamination of air, soil, surface water, and groundwater. In Bangladesh, while prioritizing the disposal and management of textile liquid wastes, the necessity of management of textile solid wastes (TSWs) are often neglected. TSW is generated in a considerable amount but no proper management or disposal system is followed by the industries. An attempt has been made in this study to find a sustainable disposal option for TSW. The experiments were conducted throughout 2016. This research is concerned with a particular type of solid waste, very dusty in composition, generated from slitting, brushing and sueding machine in the dyeing unit of the composite TI. Using this particular type of TSW, papermaking was attempted following manual procedures. TSW at ten different ratios were added to scrap abandoned paper mixture (paper : waste = 1 : 0.25, 1 : 0.5, 1 : 0.75, 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5, 1 : 2, 1 : 2.25, 1 : 2.5, 1 : 2.75, 1 : 3, etc.) to produce papers. A pulp consistency test and different tests on produced paper e.g. basis weight, bulk, and density, book bulk, thickness, hygroexpansivity, formation, moisture, and finish were conducted according to Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) methods and ISO standards were followed to determine the quality of pulp and type of papers.
  • The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and Other Boards Used in Framing

    The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and Other Boards Used in Framing

    The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and other boards used in framing. Amended 10th June 2004 Copyright C Sumner, Fine Art Trade Guild Introduction These standards are directed to the composition, combinations, and characteristics of papers and paper-boards used in the framing of artwork, keepsakes and memorabilia. They help to give material categorisation of these to fit into the five levels of framing specified by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The objective of each level of framing is stated, with examples of the kinds of things for which that level is suitable. At present, all board that does not meet either the Cotton Museum Board standard or the Conservation Board standard will be deemed to be Standard Board and suitable for Commended, Budget and Minimum levels of framing only. The specifications for Standard Board may be further refined in due course as the quality of boards in this category vary greatly. Conservation Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels except Museum level framing. Museum Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels of framing. It is a prerequisite that the type of surface and texture must be specified relating to any board purporting to meet Guild Standards. If the surface is designed to accept decoration and embellishments, as in the case of Mountboard unless otherwise stipulated, it should be fit for the purpose. (FACTS Institute, USA, Test No. 6-97). International – Note that in some markets no distinction is made between Museum and Conservation Framing. In others, the terminology is reversed, i.e.
