Why do Japanese artists team up with engineers in order to create
so-called "Device Art"? What is a nanoscientist's motivation in
approaching the artworld? In the past few years, there has been a
remarkable increase in attempts to foster the exchange between art,
technology, and science - an exchange taking place in academies,
museums, or even in research laboratories. Media art has proven
especially important in the dialogue between these cultural fields.
This book is a contribution to the current debate on "art &
science", interdisciplinarity, and the discourse of innovation. It
critically assesses artistic positions that appear as the ongoing
attempt to localize art's position within technological and
societal change - between now and the future.
A radical reassessment of the role of movement, emotion, and the
viewing experience in Gothic sculpture Gothic cathedrals in
northern Europe dazzle visitors with arrays of sculpted saints,
angels, and noble patrons adorning their portals and interiors. In
this highly original and erudite volume, Jacqueline E. Jung
explores how medieval sculptors used a form of bodily
poetics-involving facial expression, gesture, stance, and
torsion-to create meanings beyond conventional iconography and to
subtly manipulate spatial dynamics, forging connections between the
sculptures and beholders. Filled with more than 500 images that
capture the suppleness and dynamism of cathedral sculpture, often
through multiple angles, Eloquent Bodies demonstrates how viewers
confronted and, in turn, were addressed by sculptures at major
cathedrals in France and Germany, from Chartres and Reims to
Strasbourg, Bamberg, Magdeburg, and Naumburg. Shedding new light on
the charismatic and kinetic qualities of Gothic sculpture, this
book also illuminates the ways artistic ingenuity and technical
skill converged to enliven sacred spaces.
