Adams, Marianna, Moreno Cynthia, Polk Molly, and Buck Lisa. The Dilemma of Interactive Art Museum Spaces. Art Education 56.5 (2003): 42-52. Web.
This paper analyzes the conversion of contemporary interactive art through its intentions to influence youth culture with creative play, but ultimately sacrifices the deeper excruciation of art and its metaphorical representations for instead a tangible space. The author presents two main issues, the challenge of interactive art to educate and its challenge to interrelate. Through concrete examples he proposes the sensitivity of interactive

The author positions that as a result of a shift in art culture and history, the world of interactivity has expanded our human creativity simply through digital technologies. Each interactive work studied has disruptive features that can be studied with four theories; cultural, functionalist, experience and techno-futurist. The author uses various concrete examples, but predominantly focused on the example of Camille Utterback’s, Text Rain. When an audience participates the art becomes a concentration on their experience and thus examines the theories of disruptive aesthetics. The author believes Camille’s work examines the text falling around the human form to be disruptive from its traditional means of the printed world into a symbol of play, with a method of disruption. These techniques of disruption are demonstrated in three theories; disruptive rule, disruptive community, and disruptive role. Ultimately, an audience dictates the meaning of the work through its interaction. The meaning of the piece changes when they subvert from interacting with the piece that the artist intends. A sense of pleasure arises from the subversion as from breaking these rules and ultimately changing the meaning, or interact with this work that has ultimately manipulated the meaning of the piece from the start. This source is important as it chooses to focus on the …show more content…
Which then entails the need to have a computer, and proper software. Is interactive art only for the educated, or at least self-educated? It seems art has always found a way into a higher class system. As well, another option to study is the fascination with interactive artwork. Is this a temporary phase, although it has its power, could dancing with text simply become old? Or would it hold onto its meaning like the collages of Michael Duchamp? In summary, each of these articles complimented each other on how transferring our society to digital and interactive art, the pieces are changed in various

    Earth is comprised of a myriad of cultures and identities, both directly and indirectly influential to each other. Because of these connections, it is vital to study or at least garner basic knowledge of other cultures. A key factor to this cultural integration is the establishment of museums for ease of access to the general public. Museums are highly based on visuals and it is very important for museums to present themselves well. The SAM and the Burke museum utilizes their displays very differently, but both focus on the expression of different cultures and do so successfully; however, both can learn from each other and present a more holistic display.…

    Following the studies conducted by/of Karin Kukkonen (2011) Astrid Ensslin (2016), and Alice Bell (2016) on the expansion of the definition of metalepsis and its interdisciplinary character, this presentation will focus on a media-specific analysis regarding installations such as The Archivist, by Daniel Goodbrey, and The Rut, by Dave McKean. [PP] This way, the presentation aims to contribute to a discussion on “How does the media influence the device?” (Wolf?) and will be doing so by questioning first the relation between feedback loops, interaction and discourse and then of a behaviour that reflects a relation between the act of transgressing spaces and the transgressive characteristic of spaces.…

    Art is all around us, no matter where we go or what we do, there will always be a form of art that is nearby, and as a result of this, art has become one of the most significant aspects of a person’s daily life. In a sense, art is quite like water. It is something that is physical, but the changes that it can embody or bring forth are just like the formlessness of water. Art has become something more than just a work that should be admired, but rather, it has become a medium of speech for the ones that create it. In Dorothy Allison’s “This is Our World”, multiple anecdotes are used to allow the reader to better understand art.…

    When we look at the world today, not all of us enjoy art, not many of us practice it, But no one is surprised when someone comes along from our friends or family who is deemed talented at art. This mindset, this overall acceptance than anyone can go out and learn how to do what they love. It’s a modern phenomena, full of aspiring graphic artists and cartoonists, painters and animators.

We owe a great part of this to one man, to one show, and to a thousand words of encouragement Bob Ross’s; The Joy of Painting has brought us.…

    If one cannot communicate, how can one expect any piece of art to withstand the tests of time? To inspire and to move people centuries after publication? Communication is the most important factor in determining the trajectory of artistic creation. This applies to artists all across the board; it is the only “rule” I believe can be applied to the ever-changing objectivity of art. Performers, musicians, writers and visual artists alike are said to “breathe life” into their mediums.…

    The Fundamentality of the Arts in Public Education Picture a barren wasteland, empty of any thought that branches outside of normality. Beige walls decorate bland streets filled with broken dreams and sullied minds. This is the world without art. Earth takes breaths of life and joy because we strive to create. The world needs art, not for survival, but for the sake of its people.…

    And thus, it is crucial to find some way to empower society to critically think about how we relate to the world. To help do this, Nelson argues we need a “third term” to act as a mediation tool between society and the world. Specifically, art can act as this mediation device. The main function of this mediation tool is to of course “mediate, but not in the sense of imitating or representing a reality from which spectators are barred” (Nelson, 308). And one can feel…

    For nearly twenty years, I’ve been told of a place just outside of Toronto described to me as a gamer’s paradise. “Playdium” has been a part of my life, that up until now, I haven’t had a chance to actually experience. It is a year-around entertainment center with a variety of arcade style games and attractions. After two decades of repeated rumblings about the arcade from friends, game store clerks, and forum users, I finally decided to visit this so called paradise. After my experience I can only describe it in the same way.…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets. I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me. I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…

    “For very young children, making art -- or just talking about it- provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes, and actions” (Lynch). It is vital for a child to learn the importance of art early in their life so that they can choose whether or not they will be dedicated to pursue a career involving art skills. Learning about these basic forms of art at an early age gives children more insight in preparation for their educational life. “Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development” (Lynch). Students involved in simple creative activities within their peers can affect their emotional status and gives a more comforting feeling being around others that have similar qualities of enjoyment.…
