Dimensiuni psihologice ale receptării artei bioptice

Author(s): Beatrice Adriana Balgiu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2018

Pictorial compositions in bioptic art differ in that they have included in their framework forms resulting from the application of procedures based on stereoscopy and binocular rivalry. The objective of the present study was to evaluate images from bioptic art and identifying the relationship between them and the personality characteristics of the evaluators. A number of 104 students were asked to evaluate the paintings made by the bioptic technique. There were used as tools the semantic differential scale of the creative product (CPSS) for the aesthetic assessment and Big Five Model Centred Personality Questionnaire (BFI-10) for the personality traits analysis. The results show that the artistic execution of paintings is highly appreciated, secondly, the originality and finally their logic. To the question of who are those who appreciate bioptic paintings as originals, the data show that people characterized by openness to experience notice rather originality, while conscientious people are more interested in the elaboration and artistic execution of the paintings. It is discussed the interaction between intrinsic (of the receivers) and extrinsic (of the work of art) factors in the act of contemplation.

SPACE IN MUSIC OF ELECTROACOUSTIC FORMATION AS A PHENOMENON OF COLLISION OF SYMBOLIC IMMORTALITY

Author(s): Olena Riabinina,Inna Igorivna Kovalenko,Ksenia Nesterenko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The paper considers the ontological foundations of the musicalsound continuum of the electro-acoustic formation (digital synthesis, Web, spectral and spatial music). The transformation of the orders of aesthetic accessibility of space, found in the form of cloud and stream effects, is due to the redefinition of the phenomenon of connectivity and coherence through the “revolution of sound”. On the example of the “meditative” mechanism of sound organization, which is equally significant in spatial and post-digital aesthetics, the peculiarity of kinesthesa is shown, which arises as a result of alteration in the empirical content of retention and ultimately forms the image of an existentially unlimited navigation of spaces. It is argued that the qualitative transformation of connectivity determines the hypostasis of the secondary image (the universe) to a literal visualization with its latent preservation on the periphery of meaning formation. Catharsis is dispersed in sound events of a performative non decreasing presence, which is a transformed form of immortality collision. The practice of spatialization realizes the temporal (existential) confinement of artifacts, contrary to the ideas of abandoning it in favor of space as the fifth dimension of musical continuum.

Иконография на цикъла "Богородичен Акатист" в стенната живопис в България

Author(s): Stefka Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2016

The subject of the following study is provoked by the Blessed Virgin Mary’s everlasting significance in the life of all Christians and the Church in general, hence her exceptional popularity in Bulgarian mural painting. Throughout the Church’s history and all the stages of iconography her place has constantly remained next to that of God, as Lady and Queen of Heaven. Her image has brought creation to a great number of iconographic types and scenes, all of which very clearly point out her position in the Church hierarchy, as well as her portrayal in Liturgical series served in the church. By containing the Uncontainable God, The Blessed Virgin Mary becomes the Temple herself.

Техниката на акварела в контекста на историята на изобразителното изкуство

Author(s): Nikolay Radulov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2012

From the point of view of materials, the watercolor technique has accompanied the history of fine arts since the dawn of its existence - prehistoric art - and right up to our time. The paints of cave artists are pigments dissolved in water. If we add the binders (obtained in later historical stages), we will get modern watercolor paints. The material carriers of these paints during different time periods are different - starting from the bedrock, passing through carriers such as papyrus and parchment, and reaching today's variety of different types of watercolor papers. In essence, the watercolor technique accompanies the entire history of man - from cave paintings to our time. It does not lose its relevance, on the contrary, it finds more and more applications - one of the particularly important of which is - in the educational process (from preschool to high academic levels of education).

Le gout français w architekturze dworców kolejowych w XIX i pierwszej połowie XX wieku

Author(s): Jacek Wesołowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2024

Although railway technology is similar in all countries where it developed, there are some differences in the technical details and methods of operation. The architecture of railway stations is no different. It is the result of both technical and functional requirements, as well as architectural tradition that determines the form of buildings and even their location. This paper is an attempt to define the characteristic features of French railway station architecture and structure, with the intention of proving that not only were its products easily recognizable, but also pioneering in the field of aesthetics and construction. The subjects of the analysis are: the urban context, the relation of station building with the traished, the way the circulation hall is shown on the facades, the role of iron in the language of architecture and the forms of the girders in structure of the trainshed. On this basis, the following main distinguishing features of French railway stations were identified: axiality in the street system, tendency to unify the building and the trainshed as much as possible, pioneering solutions showing large volumes of interiors in the facades using large glazing, including the form of a semi-rosette, bold exposure of iron in the gable curtains – also in facades, the popularisation of both Polonceau girders – also with latticed rafters, and de Dion’s rigid frames – also as a massive monumental form.

Fabryka Towarzystwa John, Krebs i S-ka w Łodzi – unikatowa konstrukcja żelbetowa i historia jej destrukcji

Author(s): Krzysztof Stefański / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2024

With the so-called political transformation that took place in Poland after 1989, numerous new threats to historic buildings emerged. This was particularly true of industrial construction. The collapse of many industries resulted in the bankruptcy of numerous plants. This problem also affected Lodz – once the most important centre of the textile industry in Poland. A particularly drastic example in this case is the foundry (machine) hall of the John, Krebs and S-ka works, later known as the Fakra works, with its unique reinforced concrete construction, built between 1913 and 1914. A private investor purchased the site of the works and decided to demolish the buildings there to build a shopping and entertainment centre. Despite the fact that the foundry hall was entered in the register of monuments by the Lodz Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments Wojciech Szygendowski, and despite the protests of the local community of art historians, architects and lovers of historical monuments, the investor – citing the decision of the General Conservator of Monuments Piotr Żu-chowski removing the hall from the register of monuments – demolished it, leaving only a ‘witness’ in the form of three bays of the reinforced concrete structure. Polish architecture suffered an irreparable loss, losing one of the most interesting monu-ments of early modernism architecture.

Author(s): Dita Ethemi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This paper examines the development of the contemporary art scene in Kosovo from 1990 to 2018, exploring its activist character in response to the sociopolitical context. The collapse of the socialist system and the abolition of Kosovo’s autonomy within Yugoslavia set the stage for significant changes in art and culture. Artists felt a need to react to negative social processes, leading to a transition from traditional media to experimental forms of expression. The proximity of art and politics became evident, as the art scene in Kosovo took on an activist, protestoriented, and politically engaged character. This abstract highlight the transformative power of art in times of crisis, emphasizing the artists’ adaptation to changing circumstances and their desire for relevance and societal change.

IN BETWEEN THE EIGHT DAY AND THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON – R(EVOLUTION) IN REPRESENTATIONS OF A PERSON WITH DOWN SYNDROME IN THE FILM

Author(s): Anna Bieganowska-Skóra / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Introduction: Films constitute a powerful educational tool driving social change; viewers imi-tate the presented models or attitudes, even if they are not part of their personal experience.Therefore, it is extremely important to properly depict people with disabilities in the media, astheir image in the media is infrequently their only representation in the mind of an average vie-wer. This paper compares two films telling similar stories of young men with Down syndrome.Research Aim: The aim of the study was to find the answer to the question whether over theperiod of 25 years between making of the two analysed films, the manner of creating the profileof a film character, an adult man with Down syndrome, has changed in accordance with the cu-rrent trends and developments in the social life, and whether the incapacitating representationsof disability found in the literature are still incorporated in film characters with disabilities.Research Method: Elements of media content analysis were used to describe, categorise andinterpret the selected films.Results: Substantial differences in the manner of creating character profiles were observed; thechanges were related to the model of disability underlying the character, as well as the presenceof incapacitating representations of disability in the analysed film productions.Conclusions: The media, despite its logic and expectations of the broadcasters, have been ta-king into account research results and suggestions made by the community of people with di-sabilities, educators and media researchers regarding portrayal of disability in the media resul-ting from the implemented social change. It is necessary to provide continued, systematic andscheduled education to individuals working in the media and film industry on the impact of themedia on social attitudes and shaping the consciousness of art viewers. Disability representa-tion in the media cannot be accidental or merely reflect the film makers’ imagination.

Patikslinimas „subjektyviai“ šiuo atveju būtinai reikalingas. Antraip reikėtų pradėti nuo archeologijos ir dailės (istorijos) sampynų bent jau Renesanso epochoje, kai, plečiantis kasinėjimams Romoje ir augant archeologinių radinių kolekcijoms, dailininkai atrado naują įkvėpimo šaltinį ir grožio etaloną – ilgus šimtmečius po žemėmis slypėjusius šedevrus. Tektų bent paminėti Nerono Domus Aurea ir Raffaelį, „Belvederio Apoloną“ ir Mikelanželą, taip pat, žinoma, ir dviem šimtais metų vėliau už juos gyvenusį dailės istorijos disciplinos vieną tėvų, aistringą antikos gerbėją Johanną Joachimą Winckelmanną (1717–1768) bei jo sekėjus, kalbėti apie fenomenalią Richardo Krautheimerio (1897–1994) nuojautą ir jo pasiūlytas mentalines ankstyvosios krikščionybės architektūros rekonstrukcijas, nukreipdavusios archeologų kastuvus tiksliai į reikiamas vietas, ir dar daug daug kitų menininkų ir meno tyrėjų, perkėlusių archeologų surastus ir identifikuotus radinius į dailės istorijos lauką.

TRACKING CHANGES IN HARMONIC INTERVAL STRUCTURES OF SVAN SONGS BASED ON COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF FIELD RECORDINGS FROM 1959-1971

Author(s): Levan Shugliashvili,Nana Mzhavanadze,David Shugliashvili,Frank SCHERBAUM / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2024

This study investigates the historical evolution of harmonic interval structures in Svan polyphonic songs using computational analysis of field recordings from 1959 to 1971. Svan songs, like other Georgian regional music, employ tuning systems that deviate from Western intonations, with the precise nature of these systems still debated. The audio archive of the Folklore Laboratory of the Tbilisi State Conservatoire holds an extensive collection of field recordings of authentically-performed Svan songs, offering a unique opportunity for in-depth analysis. Traditional music information retrieval (MIR) techniques for fundamental frequency (F0) estimation are inadequate for these polyphonic recordings due to their reliance on monophonic sources. However, advances in deep learning now enable the estimation of multiple F0 frequency salience maps from single-channel polyphonic recordings. We trained a deep learning model for multiple F0 estimation and applied it to 136 single-channel recordings of Svan songs from the Conservatoire's archive. The estimated harmonic intervals were used to construct statistical models of the interval distributions for each song. Employing hierarchical clustering based on the Wasserstein distance metric, we identified clusters of recordings with similar harmonic interval distributions. Our analysis reveals distinct patterns of harmonic interval structures, providing insight into the tuning practices of Svan music within the past century. The clustering results indicate possible shifts in musical intonation, suggesting a dynamic evolution in the interval structures of Svan songs. This research contributes to the understanding of Svan musical heritage and demonstrates the efficacy of modern computational techniques in ethnomusicological studies.
