Digital Monism: Our Mode of Being At The Nexus of Life, Digital Media and ArtNeal Stimler
The document discusses the concept of "Digital Monism" which is presented as an alternative to "Digital Dualism". Digital Monism posits that the online and offline worlds are inseparable and form a single, continuous reality. It is argued that we have always lived in a digitally-mediated world and that terms like "augmented reality" are redundant under Digital Monism. Several scenarios of practice are presented as examples of how Digital Monism shapes our experiences, with museums highlighted as important sites for exploring these ideas. The talk concludes that recognizing our digital monistic reality can help inform issues in culture, society and ethics.

Critical Digital Museum Practice in the Context of New Capitalism: Tactics, S...Museums Computer Group
Alexandra Reynolds, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Southampton Solent University
Theorists have explicitly called for the development of digital cultural projects which move beyond the simple circulation or documentation of information to actively address socio-cultural concerns. How can we work to meet this challenge when rendering marginalised subjectivities visible can paradoxically lead to their assimilation into mainstream power structures? Alexandra will explore a range of recent participatory digital archival projects in museums and wider cultural organisations which aim to address social, cultural or political issues; and evaluate tactics and strategies for effective future practice.

This approach to sharing heritage – opening it up to previously unreached audiences and allowing them to enjoy it freely and on their own terms – is something that was predicted by academics and practitioners writing in the early days of the internet (1997-2003). But, two decades later, the Rijksmuseum’s approach is still the exception rather than the rule, so why have so few cultural heritage organisations opened up their collections fully in this way? In this paper, I take the point of view of the practitioner, examining the day-to-day pressures and policies that may have created barriers to digitisation. By examining grey literature, mainly policy documents, I theorise that digitisation has proved challenging due to a ‘perfect storm’ of pressures from policymakers, external funding bodies and the costs and complexities of digitisation itself.

1 29-13 limits to growth and peak energyJohn Bradford
The document discusses several topics related to energy and society:
1) It describes the concepts of overshooting carrying capacity and exponential growth as they relate to humanity's energy demands outpacing the Earth's regenerative capacity.
2) It discusses the concept of "peak oil" - the point at which global oil production reaches its maximum level and then declines, and some key facts about past and predicted future oil production.
3) It examines issues related to peaking production of other fossil fuels like coal and uranium, and the challenges of transitioning to alternative energy sources as traditional fuels decline.
AP Human Geography: Unit 1 - Introduction to Geography: Guided NotesDaniel Eiland
These are guided notes to go along with Mr. Eiland's AP Human Geography Unit 1 Powerpoint. You can find the Powerpoint at the following link: http://www.slideshare.net/deilands/ap-human-geography-unit-1
I download this document from heinonline,through University of Colombo server. I wish to share this documents with my students in Public International Law course for academic purposes.
The document discusses how agricultural geography and population movements influenced the outbreak of the American Civil War. It explains that the potato originated in South America but was adopted in Northern Europe due to its ability to thrive in harsh climates. This population growth in Europe led to a famine in Ireland and mass migration to the United States in the mid-1800s. Most Irish immigrants settled in the industrializing Northern states, shifting the population balance between the North and South. This impacted the political power dynamics between free and slave states, contributing to the South's decision to secede from the Union and fight to preserve the institution of slavery.
American Government and Civics Daily QuotationsDaniel Eiland
The document contains 94 quotes from various US presidents and other influential figures throughout history on a variety of topics related to government, leadership, freedom, and society. Some of the key themes that emerge are the importance of upholding constitutional principles, balancing liberty and security, resolving conflicts through non-violent means, and the role of citizens in shaping their government.
Suburbanization grew dramatically in the United States after World War 2 as transportation infrastructure like highways and affordable housing in new suburbs drew middle and upper class residents out of cities. This mass movement to the suburbs transformed the US from a primarily urban to a primarily suburban nation, with important social, economic, and environmental consequences. Factors like the rise of car ownership and use, federal policies, and trends of single-family homes and nuclear families supported extensive suburban development through the 20th century.
The document discusses the philosophical debate between dualism vs materialism and determinism vs freewill. Dualism views the human as consisting of both a physical body and non-physical soul, while materialism sees the human as only physical. Determinism believes all events are caused by preceding factors, while freewill argues humans can choose their behavior independent of influences. Psychology still grapples with these debates regarding the extent of human freewill.
Centripetal forces keep countries together by promoting unity, such as nationalism through shared language, religion, and culture. They also include unifying institutions like schools and media, as well as common threats that unite people against a shared enemy. Transportation and communication infrastructure also bind a country together by connecting different regions. Centrifugal forces break countries apart by promoting division along ethnic, economic, or spatial lines and include the rise of subnational and regional identities that want more autonomy. Devolution is the transfer of powers from a central government to local governments and can happen gradually over time or cause a state to break up.

Here is a sample from my Advanced Placement Human Geography Unit 2 Powerpoint I will be using to teach my classes this year. It is on Population and Migration. You can find the full version at http://tinyurl.com/eilandunit2.
The document discusses the history and development of agriculture. It begins by explaining the four economic sectors and provides examples of sector sizes in different countries. It then covers the transition from hunter-gatherers to the Neolithic Revolution and agricultural developments like seed planting, irrigation, and the Columbian Exchange. The document also discusses the First, Second, and Third Agricultural Revolutions and innovations like the Green Revolution. Finally, it examines different types of farming like subsistence, commercial, and plantation as well as rural land use patterns.
AP Human Geography: Unit 1 - Introduction to GeographyDaniel Eiland
This image demonstrates the properties of density, concentration, and pattern in the following ways:
Density - The number of dots per square unit of space shows the density is highest in the center and decreases moving outwards.
Concentration - The dots are most closely packed together in the center, showing high concentration, and become more dispersed towards the edges, demonstrating lower concentration.
Pattern - The dots are arranged in a circular pattern, with the highest density and concentration forming a circle in the center, and the density and concentration decreasing in concentric circles as you move outwards from the center.
So in summary, this image uses the spatial distribution of dots to illustrate concepts of density, concentration, and pattern that are key to
Digital Monism: Our Mode of Being At The Nexus of Life, Digital Media and ArtStéphane Vial
The document discusses the concept of "Digital Monism" which is presented as an alternative to "Digital Dualism". Digital Monism posits that the online and offline worlds are inseparable and form a single, continuous reality. It is argued that we have always lived in a digitally-mediated world and that terms like "augmented reality" are redundant under Digital Monism. Several scenarios of practice are presented as examples of how Digital Monism shapes our experiences, with museums highlighted as important sites for exploring these ideas. The talk concludes that recognizing our digital monist reality can help inform issues in culture, society and ethics.

AP Human Geography: Unit 7 - Urban Geography and DevelopmentDaniel Eiland
Unit 7 discusses key concepts in urban geography including:
1) Urban geography focuses on how cities function internally and are influenced externally. It studies city systems and internal city structures.
2) Urbanized areas contain cities located close together without clear boundaries. Metropolitan areas contain urbanized areas and surrounding commuting regions.
3) Louis Wirth defined cities as large permanent settlements with high density and social heterogeneity. Ancient cities served as centers of power, religion, education, and trade.
4) Pull factors that attracted rural migrants to cities included economic opportunities and infrastructure. World cities have global socioeconomic impacts while mega cities exceed 10 million people.
The document discusses Robert Stein's role as Deputy Director for Research, Technology, and Engagement at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It provides details about Stein's background and experience in various roles at universities and museums. It also outlines the IMA's strategic plan, with a focus on establishing the museum as a leader in research areas like art history, conservation science, and visitor studies. The document advocates for an approach of audience engagement over education and discusses various models and theories around maximizing visitor experience.
This presentation provided an opening look at the topic of digital-age storytelling in museums, with an emphasis on web and social media outreach and the ways in which museums can be both storytellers as well as platforms for stories. I served as moderator for the panel discussion which featured 3 other case studies from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of American History, and the Harpers Ferry National Historic Park.
Journey Through Hallowed Ground
The Cutting Edge of Public History: New Directions in Interpretation Symposium
March 28, 2018
The document discusses an art exhibition titled "jjmwmnl." held at UC Davis in 2015. It features works by 7 Master of Fine Arts students from the UC Davis Art Studio program. The artists use a variety of media like painting, sculpture, drawing and time-based works to create pieces that encourage reflection on everyday life and blur boundaries. Their experimental processes produce works dealing with issues of violence, the environment and identity. The exhibition provides an opportunity to experience different artistic practices and the experimental spirit of the student artists.
Technology is continuing to revolutionize many areas of life including creative endeavor. This presentation on Digital Art and Philosophy looks at different forms of digital art and related philosophical issues. Digital art is anything related to computers and art such as using a computer to create art or an art display that is digitized. Philosophical aspects arise regarding art, identity, performance, interactivity, and the process of creation. Specific topics include: Design Aesthetics of Meaning-Making: Info Visualization, Democratized Creativity: Performance, Music, Virtual Reality, Gaming, Natural Aesthetics: Generative Art, SynBio, Biomimicry, SocNets, and Portable ArtTech: Identity, Wearable Electronics, the Future.

Merging Traditional "Uli" Painting Techniques/Symbols and Computer Graphicsikennaaghanya
For many in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, Digital Art is rapidly becoming the preferred medium to produce poster designs and digital paintings. With a mouse, appropriate software and hardware, monitor, a scanner and a laser printer, one can control a project from start to finish. Traditional “Uli” Body Painting techniques/symbols at the same time, are visual media, which the writer describes as static media (i.e. it can only show snapshots), but it can be enhanced by stylistic elements of a metalanguage to produce the visual impression of dynamics. The viewer's imagination is asked to interpret these symbols and to change the meaning of objects actually shown. “Uli” is an expression of the Ibo people’s capacity for creative body design, which is firmly rooted in their myths and their experience of life in the past, present and future. At its best, it is an expression of their synthetic present, the epic of their search for a new order in the contemporary world. Unfortunately, the “Uli” Traditional Body Painting technique is gradually fading away, as well as the use of the Uli symbols. The emphasis of this paper is to identify the advantages in merging the use of Digital Arts and “Uli” Traditional Body Painting techniques/symbols in producing social awareness themed painting/poster designs and sculptural pieces in Nigeria, with particular reference to the Ibo people of the South Eastern Region of Nigeria. This way, the poster/painting will not just serve as a communicative medium but also as a work of Art (in terms of its aesthetic qualities) and the Uli symbols can as well be preserved.
Postmodernism is a contemporary art movement associated with post-industrial societies that questions traditional boundaries and concepts of art and creativity. It draws from multiple art traditions and references contemporary culture through methods like irony, parody, appropriation, and quotation. Postmodern art is grounded in theories like Marxism, feminism, and psychoanalysis.

Design for Participation: Three Lessons from MuseumsNina Simon
A presentation about participatory design techniques that can be applied to reduce participation inequality, increase the quality of user-generated content, and support social interaction among users. Presented by Nina Simon of Museum 2.0 at the BayCHI program on March 9, 2010.
The document discusses engagement and participation in cultural institutions. It defines engagement as mutual learning between publics and experts, in contrast to one-way transmission of knowledge. Effective engagement involves reciprocity and acting together. Some key strategies discussed for public participation include allowing the public to shape content through voting, user-generated tagging and commenting, and encouraging the public to take on roles as both audiences and cultural producers through activities like contributing and sharing creative works. The benefits and challenges of different approaches are outlined. Examples provided include public voting to select art for exhibitions and an open studio event where the public nominated local artists.
This document discusses how social media has turned people's online activities and interactions into a form of art. It explores the concept of a "total work of art" or Gesamtkunstwerk where all of society is sculpted through human interactions and media. Some view social media as a threat to traditional art, but it has opened new opportunities for artists by providing an open platform and the ability to reach vast audiences. The document examines several social media art projects and argues that if online data and social networks stimulate emotions or intellect, then social media can be considered a new canvas for art.
Josh proposes hosting an exchange event outside the John Ryland Library to promote the library. Attendees would exchange books, possessions or knowledge. Josh and others would create flyers and internet posts to advertise. Media students would document the event from start to finish in a film.
Maria suggests fine art students create one or more sculptures out of books, newspapers or leaflets about the library near its style. Media students would film the sculpture's creation process and the final pieces.
Teo's idea is a large-scale snakes and ladders board game installation for public interaction that recalls childhood. Interchangeable cardboard box pieces could be constantly changing as the public adds their own contributions throughout the event.
Lowbrow art emerged in 1970s Los Angeles, inspired by surf culture, punk music, comics, and cartoons. It aimed to create art for mainstream culture. Lowbrow art is typically created by self-taught artists and features a humorous or sarcastic approach that doesn't follow conventions. The movement has grown since the 1970s and includes different styles between artists represented through their imagery.
The document summarizes the winners of the 2014 Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching, Research, and Public Service Awards at the University of Pittsburgh. Four faculty members received the Teaching Award: Sayre Greenfield for his innovative use of technology and digital humanities in the classroom; Cynthia Lance-Jones for her mentorship of medical students; Steven Levitan for his passionate teaching style that brings literature to life; and Samuel Poloyac for his work developing a novel drug delivery system. Five faculty members won the Research Award, and three won the Public Service Award for their contributions in their respective fields.
- Visual elements and arrangements in a text can perform persuasive work by appealing to things like color, typography, and style to achieve the creator's goals (Main Point 1)
- The rhetoric used in a visual text cannot be separated from its social and cultural context, and must be interpreted with an understanding of that context (Main Point 2)
- Anne Wysocki argues that readers now expect visual aspects of texts on computer screens and paper to be considered part of the message due to technological changes (Main Point 3)
This document provides a summary of Beth Giacummo's curatorial history, including her role as Museum Exhibition and Curatorial Director at the Islip Art Museum from 2010 to present. It describes her work organizing exhibitions that explore contemporary issues, and her involvement in the New York Contemporary Art Symposium, which brings international artists to Long Island for residencies and cultural exchange. The document lists several exhibitions curated by Giacummo at the Islip Art Museum exploring various themes through the works of listed artists.
The document discusses strategies for museums to cultivate meaningful engagement with cultural audiences through conversation and collaboration, examining how museums can move from being places that simply interpret cultural inheritance to becoming public squares that foster open discussions and welcome participation from visitors in interpreting artworks and cultural objects. It also explores how museums can optimize visitor experiences through approaches like identifying visitor motivations, providing interpretive materials focused on ideas, objects, or people, creating opportunities for flow states and epiphanies, and giving visitors a voice.
This document discusses the debate around whether photography is an art form or a craft. [1] It provides a brief history of photography from its origins in the 1820s to recent developments. [2] It explores definitions of art and craft, with art seen as creative expression and craft involving technical skill. [3] The document examines arguments on both sides, with some arguing anyone can take a photo so it is a craft, while others say photographers can achieve artistic excellence through concepts and techniques.
The document discusses the need for new strategies and capacities to meet the changing demands of the 21st century world. It introduces the Institute for Multimedia Literacy (IML) and its mission to empower students through media to be critical, competent citizens and scholars for the 21st century.

Alison Kennedy proposes running identity exploration zine workshops for LGBTQ+ youth at Kaleidoscope Youth Center in Columbus, Ohio. The weekly workshops over five months will focus on creating content and designing pages for an original zine. Selected zine pages will be enlarged for a poster exhibit at Kaleidoscope's OtherProm event in May. The project aims to give queer youth a creative outlet, sense of belonging, and opportunity for self-expression. If funded, the project timeline includes three phases: planning from October to December 2015, weekly workshops from January to May 2016, and exhibiting the zine posters at OtherProm in late May 2016.

“As with all digital images, digital images of
prints will no doubt play an increasingly
important role in digital culture; however, it's
critical to keep in mind that a digital image of a
print is not a print.”
4. Henry Pisciotta | @HenryPisciotta
“Reproductive media (printing, photography,
cinema, computing, etc.) have always
transmitted and broadened culture and each
fosters some form of literacy.”
5. Andrew Schulz | @aps235
"Although William Ivins taught us to think about
prints as 'exactly repeatable pictorial
statements,' I am interested in the ways that
impressions taken from the same plate often
function as unique images, and in the resulting
complications in what it means to reproduce a
print in digital form."
6. Neal Stimler | @nealstimler
“Graphic arts, from prints to GIFs, acutely trace the
essences of human expression. Multiple impressions of
‘trace’ are considered: an open process of wondrous
discovery; a practice of sketching ever emerging
knowledge towards enlightenment; formal, intellectual
and emotional elements used to create compositions; an
awareness of the flux nature of existence as the
perpetual in-between state of having been, being and
becoming.”
