Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rise of Metacreativity
Book SynopsisThis book brings together history and theory in art and media to examine the effects of artificial intelligence and machine learning in culture, and reflects on the implications of delegating parts of the creative process to AI.In order to understand the complexity of authorship and originality in relation to creativity in contemporary times, Navas combines historical and theoretical premises from different areas of research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences to provide a rich historical and theoretical context that critically reflects on and questions the implications of artificial intelligence and machine learning as an integral part of creative production. As part of this, the book considers how much of postproduction and remix aesthetics in art and media preceded the current rise of metacreativity in relation to artificial intelligence and machine learning, and explores contemporary questions on aesthetics. The book also provides a thorough evaluation of the creTrade Review“[A] must-read text for all those interested in the emerging relationship between AI and art […] placing it within a historical and theoretical framework rooted in our cultural, political, and economic past. […] Navas’s book is undoubtedly an important step forward in the AI debate, and the notion of metacreativity a valuable tool.”Francesco D’Isa, Los Angeles Review of BooksTable of ContentsMetacreativity Part I: Interstitial Paradigms 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Experiencing the Last Judgement
Book SynopsisExperiencing the Last Judgement opens up new ways of understanding a Byzantine image type that has hitherto been considered largely uniform in its manifestations and to a great extent frightening, coercive and paralysing. It moves beyond a purely didactic understanding of the Byzantine image of the Last Judgement, as a visual eschatological text to be âreadâ and learned from, and proposes instead an appreciation of each unique image as a dynamic site to be experienced. Paintings, icons and mosaics from the tenth to the fourteenth century, from inside and outside of the Byzantine Empire, are placed within their specific socio-historical milieus, their immediate decorative programmes and their architectural contexts to demonstrate that each unique image constituted a carefully orchestrated and immersive experience of judgement. Each case study outlines the differences that exist in reality between these images that are often subsumed under one iconographic label, making a case against condensing dynamic, lived images into apparently static pictorial âtypesâ. Images of the Last Judgement needed the body, mind and memory of the viewer for the creation of meaning, and so the experience of these images was unavoidably spatial, gendered, corporeal, mnemonic, emotional, rhetorical and most often liturgical. Unpacking Byzantine images of judgement in light of these various facets of experience for the first time helps to elucidate the interaction of past individuals with the image, and the ways in which such encounters were intended to benefit the communities that made and lived alongside them.Trade Review‘The Last Judgment is one of the most versatile images in Byzantine iconography. Its diverse sources constitute a pastiche of biblical references, hagiographical accounts, and texts of apocalyptic nature, to be found in both Christian dogma and widespread popular attitudes and beliefs … Niamh Bhalla undertook and accomplished, with notable success, a particularly difficult task; her monograph constitutes the first, at least to my knowledge, comprehensive in-depth study of the function, power and agency of the Last Judgement imagery in Byzantium on various levels, emotional, mnemonic, gendered, socio-historical, didactic and rhetorical, as an immersive personal and shared experience that informs the identities of the individuals and the communities to which it is addressed. In this light, it constitutes an excellent contribution to the field and a landmark publication on the topic’ - Byzantinische Zeitschrift Bd. 115/3, 2022.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museumbased Art Therapy
Book SynopsisThis practical and inspirational resource offers a wide range of information about museum-based art therapy and wellness programming in various museums. Featuring contributions from art therapists and access professionals from various museum-based wellness programs, the book describes museum-based art therapy, education, access, and inclusion to enlarge the scope of professional development and higher education training in art therapy and its relation to museum studies. Chapter examples of successful museum art therapy and wellness initiatives increase awareness about the role of art therapy in museums and the role of museums in building healthy societies and improving lives. The text also contributes to the field of art therapy by deconstructing traditional narratives about therapy being conceived only as a clinical treatment, and by introducing arts-based approaches and strategies in museums as expanding territories for being proactive in community health and wellness. Trade Review"This richly diverse text documents the exciting partnership that museums and community-based art therapy is creating at the intersection of inclusivity, accessibility, wellness, and education. At its center is the shifting power of museums to provide restorative spaces of reparation and reimagination. A wealth of information details the formation of effective programs and models, strategies for collaboration, critical reflection, and engaging activities and processes. This text will be celebrated as an invaluable guide for multiplying museum-based arts and wellness programs that strengthen communities." —Lynn Kapitan, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM, is founder, professor, and director of the Professional Doctor of Art Therapy program at Mount Mary UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing Liners A History of Interior Design
Book SynopsisDesigning Liners: A History of Interior Design Afloat covers the interior design of these floating palaces from the mid-nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. In this new edition, the design heritage of the ocean liner is also explored in this age of a growing holiday cruise market. The book offers the first history and analysis of this highly significant aspect of the design of interiors, which mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity, gender, class, and ethnicity. The interiors of ocean liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns of globalization. The trajectory of the professionalization of interior design is the connecting narrative of the book, from the local decorating firm to the internationally renowned architect. It is an important addition to interior design research and takes this transitory building type as its subject. This book provides the first survey of the transient history of iTrade Review"Designing Liners was the first study of ocean liner interior design. This revised edition adds detailed analysis of the glamorous, nostalgic interiors designed for today’s giant cruise ships while also considering growing concerns over the environmental impact of these behemoths and anticipating their future in an age of pandemic. It remains the definitive study of passenger ship interiors."Dr Gregory Votolato, Victoria & Albert Museum and Royal College of Art"Wonderful to see this seminal text in its second edition; updates on enduring popular fascination with ocean liners and the current compelling discussion of the cruise industry."Dr Harriet Mckay, The Cass School of Art, Architecture & Design, LondonTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Art of Dining in Medieval Byzantium
Book SynopsisThousands of intact ceramic bowls and plates as well as fragments made in the medieval Byzantine empire survive to this day. Decorated with figural and non-figural imagery applied in a variety of techniques and adorned with colourful paints and glazes, the vessels can tell us much about those who owned them and those who looked at them. In addition to innumerable ceramic vessels, a handful of precious metal bowls and plates survive from the period. Together, these objects make up the art of dining in medieval Byzantium. This art of dining was effervescent, at turns irreverent and deadly serious, visually stunning and fun. It is suggestive of ways in which those viewing the objects used a quotidian and biologically necessary (f)act that of eating to reflect on their lives and deaths, their aspirations and their realities.This book examines the ceramic and metal vessels in terms of the information offered on the foods eaten, the foods desired and their status; the spectacle oTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.A Taste for Novelty 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Generative Systems Art
Book SynopsisIn this unique book the author explores the history of pioneering computer art and its contribution to art history by way of examining Ernest Edmondsâ art from the late 1960s to the present day. Edmondsâ inventions of new concepts, tools and forms of art, along with his close involvement with the communities of computer artists, constructive artists and computer technologists, provides the context for discussion of the origins and implications of the relationship between art and technology. Drawing on interviews with Edmonds and primary research in archives of his work, the book offers a new contribution to the history of the development of digital art and places Edmondsâ work in the context of contemporary art history.Trade Review"I consider this book to be an important contribution to the field of media art history and in particular to that of generative and interactive art."Frank Popper, Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics and the Science of Art, University of Paris VIII, Paris"This book provides a long overdue in-depth study of the work of one of the pioneers of digital art. Drawing upon Edmonds' original projects, his notes and statements, as well as documentation and exhibition catalogues, Francesca Franco traces the work's evolution from figurative art to colour abstraction and computer-based experimentation. The author's detailed analysis not only creates a deeper understanding of Edmonds' body of work but also functions as media archaeology, referencing exhibition histories that are often overlooked and outlining intersections between Constructivism, Systems Art and the digital art of the 21st century, as well as their concepts, tools, and forms."Christiane Paul, Associate Professor, School of Media Studies, The New School, New York"Of all those who signposted the road of interaction, systems, colocation and the new geometries of space and communication, from Fluxus to ubiquitous networks, Ernest Edmonds has been among the most connected, prolific and influential. Francesca Franco elaborates his rich, diverse and endlessly invigorating practice in relation to art movements and institutional evolutions in an imaginative and immaculate work of art historical scholarship. Still perplexing even in the digital era, this story of digital art’s origins and trajectories will inspire new generations of artists, scholars and thinkers in the dense interweavings of art, science and technology."Sean Cubitt, Professor of Film and Television and co-Head of Department of Media and Communications Goldsmiths, University of London."An inTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.
