Instagram Painting: The Use of Everyday Technology to Paint and Communicate View Digital Media
Poster Session Phil Edwards
This online poster is an investigation into the role of social media imagery, with specific reference to Instagram and communication channels between artists in various locations. As a visual artist, I have been conducting a series of ongoing Instagram projects, including one titled, "The Continual Instagram Project," which presents an image of a painting that has been over painted sixty-nine times and presented only as an Instagram image, never to be seen in actuality. The other project is titled, "Hard Rubbish #2," which is ongoing and presents two decades of studio painted images in the context of the notion of art being Hard Rubbish Instagram posts. I am particularly interested in how contemporary painters may use everyday technology as a forum for presenting images seen only through Instagram technology.
The Semiotics of Graffiti View Digital Media
Poster Session Yerodin Carrington
This study examines the history, purpose, and usage of graffiti. This artform has been used in various cultures worldwide as a method of expression. A rhetorical vision of the ideological criticism assisted the investigation on the artifact’s meaning and principles. The semiotics theory along with the methodologies of semantic, syntactic, and pigment provides insight of this popular artform’s characteristics. A literature review of twelve key references, as well as, a content analysis of 27 sources furnished valuable information to execute this investigation. An explanation of the underlying meanings and purpose of the acronyms: FTP, ACAB, and BLM was supplied. This article also investigates the change of graffiti following the death of George Floyd, Jr. The Semiotics of Graffiti issues a useful account of protests, graffiti, and law enforcement in order to develop understanding of their primary purposes.
On the Multi-disciplinary Conservation of Indonesian Traditional Musical Instruments View Digital Media
Poster Session Gea Parikesit
Indonesia has a rich variety of traditional musical instruments, which resulted from the huge natural and cultural diversity in the archipelago country. These musical instruments are meaningful not only because they represent the values held by the local communities that play the instruments, but also because they represent the identity of Indonesia as a nation. The conservation of the musical instruments requires a multi-disciplinary approach, which involves not only the cultural materials conservators, but also the musicians and the craftsmen, as well as the scholars from humanities and engineering. Only with this multi-disciplinary approach, can both the aesthetic and the non-aesthetic values of the musical instruments be explained and experienced in full.
A New Liberation: Reviving the Works of 18th Century Women Composers View Digital Media
Poster Session Alissa Freeman
Throughout most of Western classical music history, there has been a gradual formation of what is referred to as the “canon:” a collection of pieces that has been deemed to have higher value in comparison to others. The formation of the canon has happened throughout a history that has generally favored cisgender, white, male composers of European descent, and it is in desperate need of reconstruction. Some female composers have gradually become more recognized, but the ones who lived and created during the classical era have largely been forgotten by all but a few historians. One possible way to address this issue is through the field of piano pedagogy. Since the piano is one of the most commonly taught instruments in the world, it is the first, and sometimes only lens through which many people experience classical music. HerClassical is a new online project in the field of piano pedagogy that attempts to make materials and information about female composers from the classical era more accessible, so that piano teachers are able to easily incorporate them into their curricula. This poster introduces the lives and works of three major female composers of the classical era: Marianne Martinez, Josepha Barbara Auernhammer, and Maria Theresia von Paradis. It explains how HerClassical is being used as a vehicle to create access to their music. The goal of the poster is to suggest that doing purposeful work in each of our fields can lead to social change on a larger scale.
Dialogue of the Encounter: Developing Cyberspaces of Art that Break the Barriers between Art Worlds View Digital Media
Poster Session Adryana Diniz Gomes
According to Howard Becker, there are many art worlds and some of them are in a situation of conflict or ignorance. Through this research, we propose the possibility of creating encounters between these art worlds to solve, even if only temporarily, this situation. By working with the potential (and within the limits) of cyberculture (such as active participation, collective creation and interaction), we desire to develop cyberspaces of arts that bridge the divide. This process has its starting point in Herman Dooyeweerd's modal aspects of existence, with focus on three of them: ethical (generosity, trust and goodwill), aesthetic (harmony, holism and deligth) and simbolic (communication, information and data).
