Group Discussion: Art and Visual CultureAssignment Goals:What is Visual Culture?Visual
Culture is the totality and visual objects produced in the industrial and post industrial
nations and the ways those images are disseminated, received, and used. Visual Culture
scholars study visual media of all sorts as well as the “centrality of vision and the visual
world in producing meanings, [and] establishing and maintaining aesthetic values, gender
stereotypes, and power relations within cultures.” -Irit Rogoff, On Visual CultureWe live in
an age where we under a constant assault by visual imagery. Images compete with words as
our main modes of communication. Don’t believe me? Scholars, like Rogoff, maintain that
our eager consumption of images fills our lives with virtual experiences that replace real
life. These images generate emotions related to pleasure, power, and fantasy.Visual culture
is concerned with spectacle, or a visually striking performance or display. Visual culture is
also transitional. In some cases it doesn’t make any sense the source of some art by
geography. An artist may be based in New York, have a studio to make work in China, and
exhibit their work in Paris. So, is the work American, Chinese, or French? Visual culture is
often collaborative. A team of artisans, performers, and engineers may be part of the
process in the realization of an artwork.Instructions:Part 1: Watch the Videos (You must

Cave creates “Soundsuits”—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that
originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have
evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Fully concealing the body, the “Soundsuits” serve
as an alien second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look
without bias towards the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures
himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as
costume, musical instrument, and living icon. Cave’s sculptures also include non-figurative
assemblages, intricate accumulations of found objects that project out from the wall, and
installations enveloping entire rooms.Tanya Aguiñiga, Borderlands, 2020. (17:25 Min)
