This document provides an overview and lesson plan for teaching students about how artworks can connect to and reflect social, cultural, and political history through their contexts and themes. The lesson introduces the concept of context, provides examples of artworks like Guernica that addressed contemporary events like the Spanish Civil War, and guides students through analyzing artworks and selecting three of their own to present on that connect to a social, cultural, or political issue. The goal is for students to understand how art can document and illustrate different histories and for students to practice justifying connections between artworks and the circumstances of their creation.
This document discusses identity and how artists explore and express different aspects of identity through their work. It provides examples of artists who examine gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, and other identity markers. Students are asked to consider how the chosen artists represent various identities, how materials and processes shape the works, and how artists position themselves in relation to different identities. The document also includes homework prompting students to explore their own cultural backgrounds and create work based on a process from their heritage.

LECTURE 13. LIGHT
Hubble space telescope observations have taken advantage of gravitational lensing to reveal the largest sample of the faintest and earliest known galaxies in the universe. Some of these galaxies formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang.
Space, mass, light and time are fundamental descriptors of our Universe. Captured by the poetry in Genesis, “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and earth, the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters. Then God said “Let there be light,” and there was light.
The cosmological model of the “Big Bang” describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of very high density and high temperature. If observed conditions today areextrapolated backwards in time using the known laws of physics, the prediction is that our Universe emerged from a singularity, a point of infinite density, and that before this event, space and time did not exist.
Current knowledge is insufficient to determine if anything existed prior to the singularity. Sixteen centuries ago, in his Confessions, Saint Augustine (354-430) posed the obvious question in biblical terms: What was God doing before he created the Universe?
ISAAC NEWTON: COLOR SPECTRUM and the CORPUSCULAR THEORY of LIGHT
Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he published in 1672. He was the first to understand the rainbow. He refracted white light with a glass prism, resolving it into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
In the graphic below, light enters the prism from the top right, and is refracted by the glass. The violet is bent more than the yellow and red, so the colors separate.
In the 1660s, Newton began experimenting with his “celebrated phenomenon of colors.” At the time, people thought that color was a mixture of light and darkness, and that prisms colored light. Hooke was a proponent of this theory of color, and had a scale that went from brilliant red, which was pure white light with the least amount of darkness added, to dull blue, the last step before black, which was the complete extinction of light by darkness. Newton believed this theory was false.
Newton set up a prism near a window at his boyhood home in Woolsthorpe, England ( site of the famous apple tree), and projected a beautiful spectrum 22 feet onto the far wall. Further, to prove that the prism was not coloring the light, he refracted the spectral light back together, producing white light. Incidentally, he was at home because all the students at Cambridge University where he was a student were sent home because of an epidemic of the bubonic plague. In 1665, it was a version of “social distancing.” BTW, Newton did his best work working from home.

Art and Social Change a Critical Reader.pdfArlene Smith
This document provides an introduction to the reader Art and Social Change: A Critical Reader, which was edited by Will Bradley and Charles Esche. The introduction provides context on the expansion of Afterall journal and its collaboration with Tate Publishing on this reader. It explains that the reader aims to present a parallel history of art that engaged with social and political issues, complementing the standard narratives of art history. A diversity of texts are included from different geographies, politics and time periods that show how artists have sought social change through their work and aligned with social movements. The introduction discusses the emergence of modern art institutions in the 19th century and how artists have since critiqued and worked outside of these at times to pursue meaningful engagement with
Artistic Scientists And Scientific ArtistsCarmen Pell
This document discusses the link between polymathy (having many interests or talents) and creativity by examining scientists who were also artists and artists who were also scientists. It provides many examples of famous scientists like Louis Pasteur and Frederick Banting who were skilled visual artists. It also discusses artists like composers who had scientific interests and training. The document argues that highly creative people in both arts and sciences tend to have broad, interdisciplinary interests and skills rather than being focused in just one domain. It suggests limiting arts education may negatively impact scientific creativity.
TOK - Theory of knowledge essay (what counts as knowledge in the arts)Sarah Lee
1. The essay discusses what counts as knowledge in the arts by comparing it to knowledge in mathematics. Knowledge in art includes an artist's intentions in creating a work, as well as audience interpretations, which can vary unlike the fixed truths in mathematics.
2. Cultural and historical context also provide knowledge in art by revealing aspects of societies and traditions. In contrast, mathematics is a more universal language where concepts remain the same across cultures.
3. Emotions may result from artistic works but are not knowledge in mathematics, which is about tangible discoveries rather than intangible human experiences captured by art.
This document summarizes the Collide@CERN program, which facilitates creative collisions between art and science. It discusses past collaborations with notable artists, writers, and musicians. The program aims to boost CERN's reputation and visibility through cultural events. Upcoming, it will partner with the Hay Festival for an international arts festival collaboration in 2017. The goal is to generate new ideas and inspiration through the exchange of knowledge between the arts and science.

It comprised swinging lights, chanting voices piped through cylinders, dim lighting, and words broken up on metal wall panels. Lucy Guerin danced in projected images focusing on contorted body movements. The work strived to look beyond the familiar in music, dance, and language. It confirms that historical works can resonate with contemporary works, showing there is no chronology in culture, only the present moment. By breaking conventions, it reflected on Reinhardt's goal of eliminating evidence of personality through chance and negation.
Ecocriticism examines the relationship between humanity and nature in literary works. It emerged in the late 1970s amid growing environmental concerns. Ecocriticism analyzes how texts represent or relate to the natural world and evaluates their positive or negative environmental messages. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on fields like sociology, ecology, and politics. Major figures established ecocriticism academically in the United States and United Kingdom in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ecocriticism remains an important lens for addressing the global environmental crisis through literary analysis.

Week 1
Visual Culture in the Western World
The Idea of Cinema
-Fascination with images can be traced back to
Plato (The Republic) in the parable of “The Cave”
Plato raises the danger of being
complacent with the illusion of the image
The dangers of an uncritical
understanding of the image
-The period of Enlightenment:
scientific studies and machinations are developed
to “capture, project and record images.
-17th century:
Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680)
developed the “catoptric lamp.”
German-born Jesuit priest and scientist whose
book Ars magna lucis et umbrae diagramed the
outlines for his reflecting optic machine.
Did not invent the “magic lantern”
He projected and reflected images on the wall
Encouraged scientific explanation to his spectators
so as to demythify images as some sort of magic
or ghostly apparition.
He emphasised that these images were not magic,
but “art.”
The Magic Lantern—17th Century
2
1659—Christiaan Huygens develops the “lanterne
magique”
1664—Thomas Walgensten developed a similar
apparatus in Paris
Unlike Kircher who used sunlight to reflect the
image Huygens and Walgensten used an artificial
light source
Walgensten traveled through Europe with the
“lanterne magique” (Lyons, Rome, and
Copenhagen)
The people who saw the lanterne magique were
initially royalty in these cities
By the end of the century the lantern shows were
exhibited in more popular culture venues such as
fairs and carnivals
18th and 19th CENTURIES
1740— X. Theodore Barber demonstrates the
“Magick Lanthorn” in Philadelphia, New York, and
Boston.
Venues such as private homes and coffee houses
were the favored sites for these exhibitions.
France, however, was where these lantern shows
first gained commercial popularity at the beginning
of the 19th century.

Etienne Gaspars Robertson
“Fantasmagorie” capitalized on superstitions and
religious fears
Invoked the “spirits” of Rousseau and Voltaire
It was a theater of apparitions.
Unlike Kirhcer, Robertson did not tell his audiences
that the “Fantasmagorie” was a technological
spectacle
Like contemporary theater and film, Robertson
maintained the illusion of the image
-It was an extremely complicated production to
put on - images size and intensity of light had to
be continuously managed
The Fantasmagorie was internationally popular.
Each traveling show was uniquely packaged
usually attended by an adult urban middle-class
audience.
1803—Barber presented the French Fantasmagoria
in New York
1803—Showmen Bologna and Thomlinson
exhibited the Fantasmagoria in London
Americans saw the ghost of Benjamin Franklin
and exotic figures like the “Egyptian Pygmy Doll”

There was sound with these presentations—
ghost’s voices, music
Ticket prices were approximately US$1.

The app “It Feels Like” provides users a means of viewing their current weather conditions in an adventurous fashion. It takes current local weather information aggregated from Data Canvas nodes and compares this to a database of typical weather conditions from various international cities and finds the match with most similar weather. Once the match is found, “It Feels Like” presents to the user further visual information of the city and the season which it feels like. This could help recollect feelings from an old vacation spot, serve as a guide to possibly the next destination or introduce people to somewhere completely new.
This survey of Swiss academic institutions found that:
1. While social media is now a priority and part of communications strategies, lack of resources is still a major challenge.
2. Facebook and Twitter remain the most widely used and successful channels, but Instagram and Pinterest are growing in popularity.
3. Half of respondents find it difficult to measure the return on investment from social media, but most see its great potential benefits.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document discusses the University of Lausanne's use of Instagram to engage current and prospective students. It provides statistics on the UNIL Instagram account's followers, posts, and engagement. The goals are to create a positive image of campus life, understand student interests, and build a photo database. Content features daily campus scenes and events. Interaction occurs on Facebook and the university website. Videos and competitions increase participation. Metrics like likes and followers are used to measure success. Future plans include more cross-promotion and collaborative activities with other schools.
How Swiss schools are using social media, what kind of accounts they have, how many followers, and highlights of the best use of social media in Switzerland.
This document summarizes a meeting about social media strategies for Swiss academia. It provides an overview of the institutions represented and their Facebook and Twitter presence. EPFL, ETH Zurich, and UNIGE have the most Twitter followers. HSG's departments are most liked on Facebook. Content tips include featuring students/alumni, using images/videos, and engaging audiences. New presences include UNIL's Facebook page and ECAL/UNIBAS using social media innovatively. Participants are encouraged to try new platforms like Google+ and use analytics.

This document summarizes a case study workshop about how to respond to issues that arise on social media. It discusses four cases that university social media managers might encounter and how they responded. One case involves responding to a student Twitter account, @fduproblems, that was used to report issues on campus. The university manager engaged with the anonymous student running the account and found it helped them address real problems while building trust between the university and students.
The document outlines the SNSF's social media strategy and policy. It discusses using social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn to disseminate information, ensure transparency, and interact with researchers and the public. It provides details on the language policy, current pilot projects, and plans for future development including redesigning the website for better social media integration and expanding monitoring and evaluation measures.

This document discusses several studies on neural synchronization during viewing of audiovisual content like movies and during natural speech. It summarizes findings that brain responses are highly correlated between individuals viewing the same movie segments. For speech, it finds coupling between production and comprehension regions in speakers and listeners, and that greater coupling predicts better comprehension. It proposes that shared neural responses may underlie communication and discusses applications like using neuroscience to improve filmmaking, psychotherapy or education.
This document discusses how film music constructs emotive narratives through leitmotifs in the genre of film noir. It analyzes a scene from the film Double Indemnity, where Miklos Rozsa uses four leitmotifs to represent musical characters, emotive states, and narrative functions. Specifically, the leitmotifs reflect the protagonist losing his moral compass, trespassing laws and norms, and ultimately reflecting the feeling of guilt through the musical narration of recollection and reflection. The document argues that film music provides an emotive contour that works together with the cinematic narration to give meaning and shape a ritual of recollecting one's actions and feelings in the story.
1. The document discusses research on how the brain processes complex natural stimuli like movies, stories and music. It finds reliable synchronized neural responses across individuals when exposed to such stimuli, indicating shared representations.
2. It examines how the brain integrates information over different timescales, finding a hierarchy of temporal receptive windows in different brain regions. Early auditory cortex responds over short timescales of seconds while prefrontal cortex integrates over longer timescales of paragraphs or more.
3. Open questions remain about the role of the hippocampus in sustaining long temporal windows and how information is represented at event boundaries. The research has implications for theories of working memory and how memory systems represent the real world.
This document discusses Gracenote's efforts to analyze music and automatically label songs with mood descriptors to help users discover and navigate music collections. Gracenote analyzed over 30 million songs and generated a sonic mood profile for each using machine learning models trained on a taxonomy of over 10,000 expert-annotated songs. The mood profiles provide scores across 101 mood dimensions and aim to describe the music in terms that parallel how listeners describe their desired listening experiences. The mood labels can be used to power more intuitive music recommendations, playlists, radio stations and discovery experiences for consumers.

Eduardo Coutinho - Psychoacoustic cues to emotion in speech prosody and musicswissnex San Francisco
- Listeners can perceive emotional meaning in both music and speech based on acoustic features like tempo, pitch, timbre, and loudness.
- Computational models using recurrent neural networks can successfully predict listeners' continuous ratings of emotion in music and speech from psychoacoustic features alone, with an accuracy around 65%.
- The models are able to generalize and perceive emotion in both familiar and unfamiliar musical genres, suggesting emotions may be communicated universally through acoustic profiles.

Philippe Dinkel - Artistic versus scientific research: the challenge of the S...swissnex San Francisco
This document discusses the nature of artistic research conducted by musical artists at art universities in Switzerland. It defines artistic research as research done by artists for the arts that involves exploring questions through experimentation and bringing new perspectives. The document outlines four principal areas of inquiry for musical artistic research: musical production, performance, teaching, and music in society. It notes that artistic researchers are likely to investigate questions emerging from their own artistic practice and standards, taking their own perceptions as the object of study, and producing research that can be applied to their artistic work.
This document discusses conceptual metaphors in music through the lens of the Study and Research Group on Musical Metaphors (GERMM). It provides examples of conceptual metaphors that understand musical ideas in terms of other domains, such as architecture, language, and the body. The group aims to study the links between metaphorical language, conceptual metaphors, and our physical and sensory experiences of music through techniques like questionnaires, interviews, motion capture, and neuroimaging. Their research could provide insights into how metaphor, expectation, and embodiment relate to musical meaning and response.
- The document explores the question "What is Operatic Emotion?" through examining portrayals and accounts of Maria Malibran's performances as Desdemona in Rossini's Otello
- Malibran was seen as a preeminent singer and tragedienne who made audiences weep, shudder and suffer as if witnessing a real scene through her emotional performances
- However, some accounts note she sometimes exaggerated emotions to the point of nearing ridiculousness
- The document suggests emotions in opera are cultivated and constructed rather than natural through exploring where emotions belong and how we make them
Klaus Scherer - Heavenly Voices - The expression of emotion in operatic singi...swissnex San Francisco
This document discusses research on the expression of emotion in singing. It summarizes studies on how different singers express various emotions like joy, sadness, fear through vocal qualities like spectral balance, perturbation, loudness, and tempo. Interviews with opera singers show that expressing emotion requires feeling the emotion but maintaining control over the voice. Ratings of sopranos singing scenes from Lucia di Lammermoor found differences in how they expressed emotions like tenderness, passion, fear of death. Analysis of their voices found locations in a two-dimensional space of vocal qualities.
