Abstract

How fluorescent orange symbolizes the uneven distribution of safety and risk in the neoliberal United States Safety Orange first emerged in the 1950s as a bureaucratic color standard in technical manuals and federal regulations in the United States. Today it is most visible in the contexts of terror, pandemic, and environmental alarm systems; traffic control; work safety; and mass incarceration. In recent decades, the color has become ubiquitous in American public life—a marker of the extreme poles of state oversight and abandonment, of capitalist excess and dereliction. Its unprecedented saturation encodes the tracking of those bodies, neighborhoods, and infrastructures judged as worthy of care—and those deemed dangerous and expendable. Here, Anna Watkins Fisher uses Safety Orange as an interpretive key for theorizing the uneven distribution of safety and care in twenty-first-century U.S. public life and for pondering what the color tells us about neoliberalism’s intensifying impact often hiding in plain sight in ordinary and commonplace phenomena. Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Abstract

O livro Imagem: diálogos e interfaces interdisciplinares nasceu da ideia desenvolvida por um grupo de docentes da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, ao estabelecer diálogos sobre o tema Imagem entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento. As imagens se fazem presentes de forma significativa no cotidiano humano e a pesquisa em torno delas possibilita novas formas de comunicações, interpretações e estéticas diferenciadas, alicerçadas em fundamentos, teorias e práticas que requeiram um domínio visual próprio e a busca ininterrupta dos sentidos definidores do próprio conhecimento. Assim, a Imagem foi o tema gerador escolhido para realizar reflexões interdisciplinares teórico-práticas que contribuirão para a construção de um conhecimento que supere as fronteiras disciplinares. Importante destacar que cada área de conhecimento possui distintas concepções e formas de abordar a Imagem. Tal pressuposto justifica as diferentes metodologias adotadas no decorrer dos capítulos do livro. Na estrutura da obra apresentaremos, de um lado, distintas metodologias provenientes de diferentes áreas, e de outro, novas possibilidades de refletir crítica, teórica e metodologicamente sobre estudos, pesquisas e produções ligados à Imagem. O livro apresenta discussões que remontam à década de 1980 e de discussões atuais, de pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais. O livro pode ser fonte de estudos interdisciplinares sobre Imagem, tanto em nível de graduação quanto de pós-graduação.

Abstract

Das Handbook Research Video ist die Einführung in eine neuartige Software und Publikationsform, die auf annotierten Videos basiert. Praktizierende und Forschende, die mit Bewegungsdaten arbeiten, etwa in den Sparten performative Kunst, Film, Verhaltensforschung oder Sportwissenschaft, werden in ihrem Arbeitsprozess unterstützt und erhalten so die Möglichkeit, per Video Inhalte verfügbar zu machen, die ein gedrucktes Buch nicht vermitteln kann. Das Handbuch bietet nicht nur einen Überblick über die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts Research Video der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, sondern auch ein Manual für die Anwendung des Software-Tools. Ein niederschwelliger «Hand-on»-Zugang und der Verzicht auf einen theoretischen Überbau erlauben ein schnelles Einarbeiten und die einfache Anwendung des Software-Tools. The Handbook Research Video is an introduction to a new type of software and publication based on annotated videos. Practitioners and researchers who work with motion data, for example in the fields of performative art, film, behavioral research or sports science, are supported in their work process and have the opportunity to publish content via video that a printed book cannot convey. The handbook not only presents the findings of the Research Video project at Zurich University of the Arts, but also offers a manual for using the software tool. Low-threshold "hands-on" access and the absence of a theoretical superstructure allow users to quickly become familiar with and use the software tool.

Abstract

The book 'On Media, On Technology, On Life: Interviews with Innovators' features thirteen artist-researchers whose artworks reconfigure the relationships between living bodies, microorganisms, tools, techniques, and institutions to ask new questions of life itself. When encountered for the first time, these are works that seem to challenge a conventional understanding of what artists and scientists do. Through the words of the artists themselves, these interviews explore what it means to spearhead innovative new partnerships able to create work that takes on a life of its own. By posing new questions at the interface between media, technology, and life, the book explores themes such as the life of multi-species bodies, the future of food security in the age of biotechnology, the microbial lives of historic archives, and the biohacker communities of the future. Together, they reveal how we are all actors in this theatre of life innovation.

Abstract

Creative Frictions explores the relationship between visionary aspects of practice and policy. Despite over 30 years of arts and cultural policy attention, there remains a widespread view among the general public and artists alike that creative production does not reflect Australia's culturally diverse population.

Abstract

Der Welt-Museumsverband International Council of Museums wurde 1946 als Antwort auf die Gräuel des Zweiten Weltkriegs gegründet. ICOM versteht sich als Brückenbauer, Think Tank und Netzwerk der Museumsfachleute und Museen. 75 Jahre nach Gründung ist es Zeit für eine Rückschau: Zeitzeugen-Interviews mit den noch lebenden Präsidenten von ICOM Deutschland und dem letzten ICOM-Präsidenten der DDR geben Auskunft darüber, welchen kulturpolitischen Herausforderungen der Verband sich gegenübersah, wie und ob diese bewältigt werden konnten. Tanja Bechtel hat es übernommen, leitfadengestützt im Sinne der Oral History und der Methodik von Experten-Interviews diese Zeitzeugen-Gespräche durchzuführen und in einem Bericht für ICOM Deutschland zu dokumentieren. Das Ergebnis ist ein Resümee langjähriger Verbandsarbeit im Kultursektor und eine Konfrontation mit zurückliegenden, aber auch mit aktuellen, zum Teil globalen Herausforderungen.

Abstract

This anthology is a conclusion of the research results from a four-year VR project called Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland - a holistic study of a World Heritage (2014–2017). Decorative painted interiors and furniture as well as patterned interior textiles during 1700–1870 have been investigated with a combination of methods from both the humanities and the natural sciences. The purpose has been to obtain new and in-depth knowledge of paint, dyes and other raw materials and techniques used in the manufacture of artefacts and interiors in the farmhouses in this region. Through the study, an increased understanding of the local availability of paint material and the trade at that time has been obtained. In addition, detailed knowledge of the originators of the interiors has been generated. The project thus adds new knowledge for further investigation of cultural, social and economic contexts and conditions for the interior design culture that emerged and was formed in Hälsingland farms during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Abstract

"The African diaspora - a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialism - has generated a wide array of artistic achievements, from blues and reggae, to the paintings of the pioneering African American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner and video creations of contemporary hip-hop artists. This book concentrates on how these works, often created during times of major social upheaval and transformation, use black culture both as a subject and as context. From musings on 'the souls of black folk' in late nineteenth-century art, to questions of racial and cultural identities in performance, media, and computer-assisted arts in the twenty-first century, this book examines the philosophical and social forces that have shaped a black presence in modern and contemporary visual culture. Now updated, this new edition helps us understand better how the first two decades of the twenty-first century have been a transformative moment in which previous assumptions about race, difference, and identity have been irrevocably altered, with art providing a useful lens through which to think about these compelling issues"--
