MIT Press Simulation Exercise Operations 6 Urbanomic
Book SynopsisCollection of interventions on the status of the moving image in an age of advanced simulation, exploring the contemporary links between power, simulation, and warfare.This collection of wide-ranging interventions and discussions on the status of the moving image in an age of advanced simulation explores the contemporary links between power, simulation, and warfare.Today, technological simulation has become an integral part of military training and operations; and at the same time, media spectacle—often enabled by the same technologies—has become integrated with military power. Trained in virtual environments, army personnel are increasingly enhanced by augmented reality technologies that bring combat into conformity with its simulation. Equally, the seductions of media and entertainment have become crucial weapons for “information dominance.” At the same time as the infosphere demands that war takes on the properties of a game, hyper-realistic

Blum & Poe Pictures Girls Make Portraitures
Book SynopsisPortrait-making receives a revisionist survey uniting artists of all ages, identities and nationalitiesSpanning from the early 19th century to the present day, this prodigious survey brings together over 50 artists from around the world and argues that the portrait is an enduringly democratic, humanistic genre. Moving beyond binary thinking, the exhibition emphasizes the diversity of subjects and complexities of character that artists have captured through various modes of portrait-making. Looking backward and forward, Pictures Girls Make recontextualizes pioneering portraitists who escaped the narrow first draft of the past century, while also surveying a wide range of contemporary painters. Far from just girls, this range of artists has pushed the genre to capture the actual conditions, social structures and day-to-day experiences that form human existence.Artists include: Gertrude Abercrombie, Maria Anto, Ernie Barnes, Jerome Caja, Xinyi Cheng, Leonor Fini, Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Juanita Guccione, Mela Muter, Simphiwe Ndzube, Alice Neel, Collin Sekajugo, Sylvia Sleigh, Aleksandra Waliszewska, Robin F.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Art and Politics
Book SynopsisAustralian governments at all levels have been engaged with arts and culture in many different forms since the beginning of European settlement. The way this has occurred is documented and analysed here, both from an historical and critical perspective.Changing understandings of culture and the significance of Indigenous Culture to Australia receive special attention. While the focus is primarily directed to Federal Government engagement, there is also consideration paid to both state and local government involvement. There is attention paid to the censorship of arts practice by governments as well as the direct interventions by politicians in arts practice. Different approaches to the arts by governments are also considered, as well as attempts to develop a national cultural policy. The impact of the recent pandemic is addressed and various research reports about the arts sector and its relationship with government are also noted. There is then a final discussion abouTrade Review"This is a timely and well written account of the relationship between the arts/cultural sector and the governments and policy frameworks that are, ostensibly, responsible for supporting it. There is a long history here of contestation, debate and struggle on the part of artists for their work to be appropriately recognised. This book not only tells the story of the nexus between arts and government, it unequivocally advocates for the cultural value of arts practices, and the need for governments to take a bipartisan approach to ensure the arts have a chance of a sustainable future."Professor Hilary Glow, Deakin University"Art and Politics: Government and the Arts in Australia. An Historical and Critical Analysis is a comprehensive, insightful, and remarkably well-researched book on one country’s evolving and often contradictory cultural policies and practices. Jo Caust deftly guides us through the development of Australia’s varied and dynamic cultural landscape over the last 200 years while crafting frameworks that can be used to develop deeper, richer, and more productive conversations among and between artists, arts institutions, indigenous populations, and those in government. This book is a valuable resource for those studying cultural development and arts leaders, policymakers, and funders grappling with the challenges of creating and sustaining vibrant arts ecologies in their countries."Emeritus Professor William J. Byrnes, author of Management and the Arts"Josephine Caust is one of the leading experts on Australian cultural policy. Her published work and frequent policy contributions have been influential both in Australia and internationally. This long-awaited book will create wide interest among researchers, academics and policy makers, as well as among members of the general public interested to gain fresh insights into the past, present and potential future of Australian art and culture."Distinguished Professor David Throsby, Macquarie University"Artists are the forgotten foot soldiers of the creative economy. This book is a timely reminder of the social value of the arts, restoring artists at the core of contemporary cultural policy. Caust’s work is grounded in a detailed historical analysis of Australian culture, government and politics, and draws on her personal story as an academic, arts worker and passionate believer in the power of art and artists to transform lives. Her book will be an inspiration for students, artists and – whisper it – politicians."Chris Bilton, Professor of Creative Industries, University of Warwick Table of ContentsTABLE OF CONTENTSINTRODUCTION GOVERNMENTS AND THE ARTS THE USES AND CONTROL OF ARTS AND CULTURAL PRACTICES BY GOVERNMENTS ARTS AND CULTURE AND THEIR APPLICATION IN AN AUSTRALIAN SETTING AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS AND ARTS AND CULTURE NATIONAL CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE ARTS CENSORSHIP AND POLITICAL INTERVENTIONS CULTURAL POLICY CHANGING APPROACHES TO THE ARTS SECTOR AND THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC POSSIBLE FUTURES FOR THE ARTS AND GOVERNMENTS

Taylor & Francis Ltd Early Medieval Text and Image Volume 2
Book SynopsisA collection of seventeen essays on the manuscript art of early medieval Ireland and England.Trade Review‘Most users of these books will have read several of these essays before, but having them in one place is more than a convenience: it allows us to note continuities both within Jennifer O’Reilly’s work (thus making for a more fruitful engagement with her researches) and also to recognize continuities in the artefacts themselves. Moreover, we have not simply been given reproductions of the earlier papers ... but the works have been reset and all the appropriate illustrations have been reproduced in colour — more than 150 in total — close to where they are discussed allowing us to see exactly what is meant in the various iconographical analyses. These sharp, clear colour images, along with two indices, make these books works of scholarship in their own right.

Taylor & Francis The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls
Book SynopsisIn this book, Vera Dika rewrites the story of the Pictures Generation from the perspective of the Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo, NY. Her work is based on interviews with living artists, archival research, and personal collections, including films, videotapes, and sound recordings. At once aesthetic, cultural, and political, this renewed perspective asks new questions and rewrites past assumptions about the artistsâ work.The legendary members of the East Coast Pictures Generation emerged at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo in the mid-1970s. These young people had started Hallwalls, an artist-run organization that invited artists from a variety of mediums to show their work. It also featured productions by the founding members themselves: Robert Longo, Charles Clough, Cindy Sherman, Nancy Dwyer, and Michael Zwack.

Taylor & Francis The Aesthetics of Scientific Experiments
Book SynopsisThe relationship between aesthetics and science has begun to generate substantial interest. However, for the most part, the focus has been on the beauty of theories, and other aspects of scientific practice have been neglected. This book offers a novel perspective on aesthetics in experimentation via ten original essays from an interdisciplinary group comprised of philosophers, historians of science and art, and artists.The collection provides an analysis of the concept of beauty in the evaluation of experiments. What properties do practising experimenters value? How have the aesthetic properties of scientific experiments changed over the years? Secondly, the volume looks at the role that aesthetic factors, including negative values such as ugliness, as well as experiences of the sublime and the profound, play in the construction of an experiment and its reception. Thirdly, the chapters provide in-depth historical case studies from the Royal Society, which also allows for a study of the depiction of scientific experiment in artworks, as well as contemporary examples from the Large Hadron Collider and cases of experiments designed by artificial intelligence. Finally, it offers an exploration of the commonalities between how we learn from experiments on the one hand and the cognitive value of artworks on the other.The Aesthetics of Scientific Experiments will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in philosophy and history of science, philosophy and history of art, as well as practising scientists and science communicators.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Translation and Contemporary Art
Book SynopsisThis book looks to expand the definition of translation in line with Susan Bassnett and David Johnston's notion of the outward turn, applying this perspective to contemporary art to broaden the scope of how we understand translation in today's global multisemiotic world. The book takes as its point of departure the idea that texts are comprised of not only words but other semiotic systems and therefore expanding our notions of both language and translation can better equip us to translate stories told via non-traditional means in novel ways. While the outward turn has been analyzed in literature, Vidal directs this spotlight to contemporary art, a field which has already engaged in disciplinary connections with Translation Studies. The volume highlights how the unpacking of such connections between disciplines encourages engagement with contemporary social issues, around identity, power, migration, and globalization, and in turn, new ways of thinking and bringing about wider Table of ContentsPreface, by Susan Bassnett1.

Book SynopsisReligion and Contemporary Art sets the theoretical frameworks and interpretive strategies for exploring the re-emergence of religion in the making, exhibiting, and discussion of contemporary art. Featuring essays from both established and emerging scholars, critics, and artists, the book reflects on what might be termed an accord between contemporary art and religion.It explores the common strategies contemporary artists employ in the interface between religion and contemporary art practice.

Religion and Contemporary Art: A Curious Accord represents a signal contribution that brings into creative relation its two key terms to demonstrate how they are not simply manifest in adjacency but often also inextricably fused.

Taylor & Francis Art and Monist Philosophy in Nineteenth Century France From Auteuil to Giverny
Book SynopsisThis is a study of the relation between the fine arts and philosophy in France, from the aftermath of the 1789 revolution to the end of the nineteenth century, when a philosophy of being called âœmonismâ â the concept of a unity of matter and spirit â emerged and became increasingly popular among intellectuals, artists and scientists. Nina Athanassoglou-Kallmyer traces the evolution and impact of this monist thought and its various permutations as a transformative force on certain aspects of French art and culture â from Romanticism to Impressionism â and as a theoretical backdrop that paved the way to as yet unexplored aspects of a modernist aesthetic. Chapters concentrate on three major artists, ThÃodore GÃricault (1791â1824), EugÃne Delacroix (1798â1863) and Claude Monet (1840â1926), and their particular approach to and interpretation of this unitarian concept. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, philosophy and cultural history.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction. The Return of Lucretius 1.
