Abstract
This protocol articulates an ongoing PhD thesis in Laser Art as an independent artistic trend including its history, classification criteria, philosophical and aesthetical aspects. Via several analytical studies theoretically and practically, the thesis is going to prove that laser art actively contributes, as an independent artistic trend, to change the conceptual definition of the artistic material. On the other hand, it bridges the gap between the artistic context and the technical issues, in which the conceptual values became fully integrated into the physical properties of the medium (laser beam), therefore it became impossible to separate the idea and the material of the artwork from each other. Besides, the thesis reveals the potential hidden conceptual and philosophical dimensions of the holographic art as one of the most important branches of laser art. In advanced step, the research suggestes a new model of interactive holographic art based on neural controlling system, and how this advanced approach can lead us towards a new kind of the aesthetic values, in which participants effectively contribute neurologically to constituting the artwork.
Highlights
Hypothesis: 1. The physics of the Laser beam has significantly contributed to change the nature of light into a Hyper-Material in the contemporary visual arts technically and conceptually
‘interdisciplinarity’ as a term reflects a new method that has already dominated scientific and artistic activities. Due to those paradigm shifts that happened in the scientific methodological practices through many artistic and scientific domains, in his book entitled “Art and science ”, Stephen Wilson describes accurately the current phase of the unity among art, science, and technology and its effects on the nature of the artistic creation processes in some contemporary experimental artistic trends: “In the 21st century, some of the most dynamic works of art are being produced not in the studio but in the laboratory, where artists probe cultural, philosophical and social questions connected with cutting-edge scientific and technological research
The theoretical outcome of the research should lead to a new classification for types of laser artworks, enriching the contemporary visual arts trends by accurate analytical studies and practical experiments in laser arts (Ahmedien 2016)
Summary
4. Can some kind of advanced interactive technologies represent new approaches towards re-defining laser beam as an artistic element and material in the light art? The physics of the Laser beam has significantly contributed to change the nature of light into a Hyper-Material in the contemporary visual arts technically and conceptually.
