Inven­tio Activity

    — brief notes (1 sentence/fragment) posted to your blog or in com­ments below

 

1. Key term/concept from read­ing(s) in class (or oth­er­wise) — most gen­er­a­tive for update/innovate ideas

 

2. Exam­ple of con­tem­po­rary art in network-digital media ecol­ogy — from your obser­va­tion, research/classes, cura­tion site

 

3. Fun­da­men­tal cat­e­gory of your art field/praxis most inter­ested to update (promis­ing, gen­er­a­tive, etc. for innovation?)

    e.g. author/creator, medium, process, audi­ence, delivery/display, mate­r­ial, genre/form, reception/critique (others?)

 

4. Title of (or term from) recent pub­li­ca­tion (“book”) “about” art in new media ecology

 
 
optional (at least 1 recommended):

  • Depic­tion of inno­v­a­tive art praxis in pop­u­lar cul­ture (or Web/digital media, game, etc.)
  • Assign­ment from a current/recent course in your major/field
  • Use title/term from #4; search and post 1 image/media result
  • Pick one selec­tion from Rhizome.net Art­base, NetArt­Net, or Hyper­al­ler­gic; title/caption it with a reading/term from our course
    → bonus optional light­ning round: how might this look in your major/field/medium in 2015? 2025? (e.g. appear­ing in a text­book, on a Tum­blr, as a class project, a Post-Internet exhibit, a Post-Literacy aka “Elec­tracy” activ­ity? extrapolate)

      Hey Per­for­mance group!! I read the arti­cle “Effec­tive Expe­ri­ence in Inter­ac­tive Envi­ron­ments” on the fiber­cul­ture jour­nal, and I thought it was a great read­ing on how we could con­nect this class to some­thing like performance.

      Film/video group I read Parikka & Hertz, “Archae­olo­gies of Media Art.” arche­ol­ogy being a the­o­ret­i­cally refined analy­sis of the his­tor­i­cal lay­ers of media in their sin­gu­lar­ity. I think this is pretty use­ful in the film world, using old tech­nolo­gies to cre­ate new art. Also con­sid­er­ing his­tor­i­cal, polit­i­cal con­texts of the past.

      1. “rela­tional aes­thet­ics” shifts atten­tion away from the deter­mi­na­tion of iso­lated types or forms, and instead focuses upon the “in between­ness”, the inte­gra­tive capac­ity of medi­ated spaces.
      From FCJ-044: Beyond the Museum Walls: Sit­u­at­ing Art in Vir­tual Space

      2. Wafaa Bilal’s …and Count­ing (2010)

      3. Updat­ing viewership/catering to the chang­ing audience

      4. The­atre and Audi­ence by Helen Freshwater

      In regards to what we can talk about for the group, I think that we should talk about new ways to engage the audi­ence since that was the uni­fy­ing fac­tor of our cura­tion project.

      Film group, I read the “Shar­ing Styles: New Media, Cre­ative Com­mu­ni­ties and the Evi­dence of an Open Source Design Move­ment” and I think the idea of inter­con­nect­ed­ness could be really ben­e­fi­cial to dis­cuss. It seems from our Exer­cise 3 entries we all believe that inter­con­nect­ing the ideas and medi­ums of var­i­ous artists and art could greatly enhance the film field.

      Hey Film Group, I read “Exer­cise in Post­pro­duc­tion Art and The­ory”, from remix­the­book. It dis­cusses how new cul­tural con­fig­u­ra­tions are expressed through pre­ex­ist­ing works. Though the whole arti­cle inter­weaves with post­pro­duc­tion (PP) film prin­ci­ples, the exam­ple of how PP artists are reed­it­ing his­tor­i­cal or ide­o­log­i­cal nar­ra­tives into alter­na­tive sce­nar­ios, sheds the most interconnectedness.

      1. Immer­sion Aesthetics/ Inter­ac­tive Environment

      2. Ceram­i­cist John Bal­istreri is one of the most well known inno­va­tors for using ceram­ics and dig­i­tal technologies.

      3. For ceram­ics I’m propos­ing an update in mate­r­ial and process which will con­se­quently affect the dis­play prac­tices and audi­ence recep­tion of the artworks.

      4. Sen­so­rium: Embod­ied Expe­ri­ence, Tech­nol­ogy, and Con­tem­po­rary Art by Car­o­line Jones
      –applies specif­i­cally to a handmade/touch based medium like ceramics
