#arttheory — Public Fediverse posts

Visual epistemology is not just a theoretical niche.
At ZRC SAZU, it is taught as an interdisciplinary doctoral course connecting art theory, philosophy, Bildwissenschaft, scientific images, visual thinking and the production of knowledge.
Especially interesting to see “Art Theory as Visual Epistemology“ included in the reading list alongside Boehm, Foster, Kemp and others.

har varit passiv här ett tag för att jag skriver på en nördig bok om fototeori.

på en månad (!) har jag blivit nästan klar med innehållet. så går det när man har koll på sina grejer, tänker fort/snabbt/stort/effektivt, och dessutom skriver snabbt. OCH samarbetar med en AI för textrespons. då går det undan.

det kan rentav bli så att den släpps på kindle/amazon framåt jul! 😮🙏🤶🏻📷✨

I had never heard of Lu Märten before my reading this evening.

I am sure that my ignorance will strike some as at best laughable.

Algorithm, Image, Art by @machine_agency
An essential and critical inquiry into how algorithmic media reshape visual culture—from ancient optics to generative AI.

Lee draws on art history and media archaeology to make sense of the aesthetics and epistemology of machine-generated images.

"I’ve got a fun challenge for you. I’m going to read to you two excepts of descriptions of works of art. Your challenge is to guess who the artist is in each case."

Ich "wusste" das schon mal, dass #Benjamin & #AbyWarburg ganz ähnliche Vibes haben (wie der Rezensent hier so toll für Warburg formuliert "drawing method out of magical thinking"), aber ohne die Serendipity, zufällig heute in diesem LRB zu blättern, hätte ich das null mehr auf dem Schirm gehabt.

The Bullshit Language of Art, Paper:

https://philpapers.org/rec/UNBATB

"Pseudo-profound language is a stylistic means in many different contexts, like advertising, politics, economics, or even science. Contemporary visual art is notoriously known for its variant: artspeak...."

Thanks for voting.

70% of poll respondents said they'd be interested in seeing some art history and theory posts from me.

Would you like to see some art history/ theory posts from me (BA Fine Art, Höns)?

Or add other suggestions in the comments.

I might start with queer art history as it's LGBTQ history month in the UK.

Cracker - Truckload of Art

From the sadly deleted album Countrysides. On this one, the boys ponder the meaning of art without context. And trucking. And art. And yodeling. #music #musique #Cracker #Art #ArtTheory

Nonceptualism as defined, with minor editing, by ChatGPT. Two definitions have been generated thus far, of which this was the first:

Nonceptualism is an adaptive art theory that suggests that certain forms of knowledge or awareness do not require the use of concepts or mental representations. This can include knowledge of the immediate, pre-reflective experience of perception, as well as knowledge of one's own mental states.

Viva Magenta -- this outrageous pinkish-purplish red -- is #Pantone's 2023 color of the year!

But did you know that "according to color scientists, 📢 #magenta does not technically exist. 📢 There’s no wavelength of light that corresponds to magenta. It is simply that place where blue fades into red."

With a new instance comes a new #introduction, eh? I work as a visual and #textileartist and #portraitpainter in Oulu, Finland. I focus on #abstractpainting, #portraitpainting, and #textileart, specifically #taideryijy (#rya rug) design and #weaving. I find artistic inspiration from various areas of #science, such as #biology, #pathology, #botany, and #environmentalscience.
