Landscape in Technological Image The Complex Aesthetics Perspective

In the Anthropocene, what contribution to landscape design and creation can the technological image, whose action, or agency, is global in scope?Beyond being a functional backdrop for human action and an object of images provided by devices designed for control in virtual mappings and telematic geolocations, can the landscape also be the subject of technological images that are able to promote a new paradigm of reciprocity between man and cosmos? In an attempt to answer such questions, this contribution is aimed at reconsidering in epistemological terms certain notions of the aesthetics of the technological image and, in particular, of the audiovisual image: immersivity, synesthesia and Stimmung.In the perspective of the development of a complex aesthetics, it is hypothesized that the aesthetic experience of the artistic audiovisual image of the landscape can potentially promote a sensitive knowledge of the environment, capable of contributing to the development of an ecological sensitivity.

At the Knot of Presence: Weaving with the embodied knowledge of my artistic palette in Liza Lim's One and the Other (Speculative Polskas for Karin)

This artistic research exposition unfolds the shared work between Australian composer Liza Lim and Swedish violinist Karin Hellqvist, from the viewpoint of Hellqvist as performer and co-creator. Together, the artists have created the violin solo work One and the Other (Speculative Polskas for Karin) (2021–22). The Swedish folk music tradition that Hellqvist has carried with her since her childhood, and especially the polska dance, serves as their point of departure. This tradition resides in Hellqvist’s body and performance practice as embodied knowledge – a term introduced by Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1962), and it becomes their main path of research. A central concept in the reflections is the ‘artistic palette’ – a concept created by Hellqvist to conceptualise the skills and abilities used in creative work. Hellqvist’s embodied knowledge connected to the tradition is woven into the work through explorations of elements as the specific pulse of the polska and its ornamentation. Furthermore, those embodied skills are explored as decoupled in the third movement, capturing indeterminate aspects. The main question addressed is how the embodied knowledge of Hellqvist’s artistic palette serves as resource and inspiration in the shared process and how it affects the ontology of One and the Other (Speculative Polskas for Karin). Topics of distributed creativity, shared work as mycelial structure, instrument-building, ownership, and temporal ecology are being unpacked in the light of the artistic palette. The artistic research exposition unfolds a compositional process whereby the performer is participating actively, thus problematising the view of where creativity may be located in compositional work. It comprises written reflections, audio examples, pictures, and video material from the creative process as well as a video of the whole work. The research context comprises historical and aesthetic perspectives, as well as recent research on performer creativity and embodiment. <style> /* rules to make button only show up in META */ .download-accessible { display:none; } .meta-right-col .download-accessible { display: inline-block; padding: 9px; margin-bottom:25px; border: 1px solid black; background-color:white; } </style> <a class="download-accessible" href="/profile/download-media?work=2936353&file=2959705" title="This accessible PDF is a derivative of the original which it is meant to support and not replace.">Download Accessible PDF</a>

Public Acceptance Regarding Photovoltaic Solar in Myanmar Using the Theory of Planned Behavior

This study investigates public acceptance of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy in Myanmar using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), focusing on various demographic groups in 2023. The 337 respondents across different regions provided a comprehensive overview of public attitudes. The survey examined subjective norms, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, willingness to pay, and intention to adopt (PV) solar technology. Results indicated a high level of awareness, with 98% familiar with (PV) solar and 95% knowledgeable about its panels. However, adoption rates were low at 20%. Subjective norms positively influenced attitudes, as 81% observed their social circles using (PV) solar and 80% found it convenient. Environmental concerns were minimal, with 75% not worried about (PV) Solar’s impact and 85% recognizing its carbon reduction benefits. The initial cost was a significant barrier, with 80% finding it too expensive, despite 96% believing in future cost savings. Perceptions of self-efficacy showed strong support for (PV) solar as a solution for electricity demand (90%) and interest in rooftop solar panels (87%). From an aesthetic perspective, only 14% described solar panels as unattractive. The study recommends financial incentives, education campaigns, and improved (PV) solar access, with government and stakeholder support to boost acceptance and adoption in Myanmar.

A robust, durable and eco-friendly UV-cured wood film with self-matting and anti-fingerprint performance via wrinkled structure

With the changes in people's living standards and aesthetic perspectives, the matting films with wrinkled surfaces play a crucial role in fields such as decorative materials, wooden furniture, wood-based panels and industrial coatings. In this paper, the UV-cured polyurethane acrylate (PUA) films with self-matting and anti-fingerprint performance on the wood-based panels was prepared and developed the wrinkled surface by using excimer/mercury dual UV curing. The results showed that the roughness, wavelengths (λ) and amplitudes (A) of wrinkles surface were positively correlated with the excimer irradiation time and negatively correlated with the mercury lamp irradiation time. Furthermore, the increasing irradiation time improved the degree of curing and crosslink density of the cured films, which enhanced the mechanical properties and durability of the cured film. Consequently, the prepared UV-cured PUA film exhibited excellent self-matting with a gloss of 3.4 GU at an incident angle of 60° and maintained the gloss value < 5 GU after 500 times rubs and 1 hour corrosion. Additionally, the self-matting films with wrinkled surface enhanced the hydrophobicity and anti-fingerprint performance of the surface. Besides, the cured film presented high physical performance with hardness of 4 H and adhesion of 0 grade. These results provide a reference for the further application of self-matting films in wood-based panels, furniture and interior decoration fields.

Challenges on Translating the Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hong Lou Meng

This study aimed to investigate the challenges associated with translating elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) within the context of Hong Lou Meng. Building upon the identified challenges, the study delved into solutions aimed at employing effective strategies in the translation of diverse Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study employed a qualitative method to investigate the translation of TCM terms in the English version translated by Hawkes and Minford (2014) from the perspective of translation aesthetics. The study carefully chose representative examples from different facets of TCM in the source text, encompassing TCM theories, disease diagnosis and syndromes, and terminologies and formulas. The translated content was juxtaposed with the source text to scrutinize the translation methods employed in the translation. Based on this analysis, the study assessed both the achievements and shortcomings in translating various TCM terms from the perspective of translation aesthetics. Ultimately, the study consolidated solutions and compensation methods on how to retain the aesthetic and cultural value of Chinese medicine elements in the translation of classical literature. The study findings indicate that the challenges of translating TCM lie in conveying the difficult TCM theories, the recreation of the strict and beautiful language structures in disease diagnosis and syndromes, and the accurate reproduction of TCM terminologies. It shows that to overcome the challenges, translators should adopt various methods flexibly, such as annotating the TCM theories, recreating the content using similar sentence structures by adopting domestication plus transliteration, or foreignization plus annotation to translate Chinese medicine terminologies and formulas.

A REVIEW OF MAIL ART WORKS IN TERMS OF ART PHILOSOPHY

Mail art emerged in the mid-20th century under the influence of movements such as Fluxus and Dada. It is generally defined as a type of artistic work sent via mail. Such artworks are often considered part of alternative art practice, disseminated using the postal system as a means of communication and transportation of works. Mail art is a populist art movement that focuses on sending small-scale works through the postal service. Mail art, which the artist uses as a means of expression, is a type of art that improves the artist's creativity, offers the opportunity to express himself in a different type of art, and can exhibit all forms of freedom (freedom of expression, freedom of creation, freedom of thought, freedom of will, etc.) as in other types of art. The artist creates mail art using his aesthetic perception with all his originality, because an aesthetic perspective is needed to create any art object. In order to examine this aesthetic and artistic view, technical and material knowledge is needed. Mail artists often use simple and inexpensive materials. These may include materials such as postcards, envelopes, stamps, newspaper clippings, stickers and handmade prints. Using a variety of techniques, artists can draw, create collages, or use other creative techniques on their posts. In this context, the importance of the aesthetic view of the designs made in mail art from past to present will be emphasized, and the mail art works made in various media and made by artists will be examined and how they are viewed from a design and aesthetic perspective will be examined. At the same time, art as a method in the art healing analysis of these treatments is viewed as an epistemological examination.

This paper will discuss the relationship between body aesthetics and dance art, analyze the multi-dimensional characteristics of dance aesthetic experience, and show the unique charm and cultural connotation of dance art through the contrast of classical dance works and different dance styles.

Bridging Cultural Perspectives: Developing a Sustainable Framework for the Comparative Aesthetic Evaluation of Eastern and Western Art

Sustainability in art is crucial for fostering intercultural understanding and preserving cultural heritage, which is essential to promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In previous research on Western and Chinese art, studies typically focused on individual artists and summarized their aesthetic values, often suffering from a lack of comparative analysis, a unidimensional sensory perspective, and a deficiency in comprehensive aesthetic evaluation standards. Consequently, this study selected representative watercolor works from five master artists in Western and Chinese art history as an example, constructing a comprehensive aesthetic evaluation system focusing on composition, color, themes, and techniques. Beginning with the influence of aesthetic and non-aesthetic perspectives by natural experimental method, the research employs correlation analysis and structural equation modeling to analyze the functional relationships between evaluative factors, perspective forces, and the overall aesthetic appeal of the paintings. Furthermore, the study reveals the distinctions between Eastern and Western paintings through multi-group analysis. Key findings include the following: Evaluation factors have varying effects on the influence of aesthetic and non-aesthetic perspectives. All factors, except conceptual expression (X12), brushwork expressiveness (X14), and watercolor language (X16), positively impact the overall aesthetic appeal. In mediation effects, X16 positively mediates between the influence of aesthetic perspectives and the overall aesthetic appeal. Factors such as warm–cool relationship (X8), X12, emotional atmosphere (X11), X14, and X16 positively or negatively affect the relationship between non-aesthetic perspectives and the overall aesthetic appeal. Multi-group analysis reveals significant differences in the evaluation factors and mediation effects that influence the overall aesthetic appeal. This study demonstrates the relationship between evaluation factors from different perspectives and aesthetics, providing valuable insights into evaluating Eastern and Western art. This evaluation system is applicable to academic research and practice in cultural heritage preservation and evaluation and art education, facilitating a deeper understanding of artistic values and promoting cross-cultural exchanges.

Spatial Audio and Parameter Mapping Experiments for the Auditory Display of Coral Bleaching Data

In this article, data relating to Hawaii’s 2019 coral bleaching are auditorily displayed using parameter mapping sonification and ambisonics. Although primarily an explorative endeavor, this undertaking is conceptually rooted in ecological sound art and neutrally positioned on an established Cartesian framework known as Aesthetic Perspective Space. Through iterative design, different versions are implemented using sound surrogates of coral reefs’ natural soundscapes derived from either (a) real undersea recordings of reef environments or (b) modeling via means of sound synthesis. These audio surrogates correspond to data clusters aggregated by geographical location and, after being represented as sound sources on an ambisonic sphere, all contribute to a final sonic environment in which each cluster is progressively altered as the corresponding coral location undergoes bleaching. To assess both the perceived aesthetic placement of these experiments and their potential for public engagement in the discourse around climate change, evaluation studies are carried out. Results align with the aesthetic goals of the author, while consecutive versions manage to improve on critical fronts relating to climate awareness, providing further motivation toward more immersive implementations in future editions to come.

Generative AI has brought about a new revolution and challenge to the film industry, with artificial intelligence gradually shifting from a creative tool to a creative subject. The issue of symbiosis between AI creation and human creation urgently needs to be addressed. The problems in the AI governance system, laws and regulations, technical means, governance tools, and practical implementation in the film industry are still absent. This paper will trace the origin of generative AI films, reflect on the advantages and limitations of AI in the film industry, and analyze the current development of artificial intelligence governance at home and abroad, thereby promoting the development and governance of the Chinese generative AI film industry, and exploring the ethical relationships between people, society, and oneself under the perspective of community aesthetics.

3D evaluation model of facial aesthetics based on multi-input 3D convolution neural networks for orthognathic surgery.

Quantitative evaluation of facial aesthetics is an important but also time-consuming procedure in orthognathic surgery, while existing 2D beauty-scoring models are mainly used for entertainment with less clinical impact. A deep-learning-based 3D evaluation model DeepBeauty3D was designed and trained using 133 patients' CT images. The customised image preprocessing module extracted the skeleton, soft tissue, and personal physical information from raw DICOM data, and the predicting network module employed 3-input-2-output convolution neural networks (CNN) to receive the aforementioned data and output aesthetic scores automatically. Experiment results showed that this model predicted the skeleton and soft tissue score with 0.231±0.218 (4.62%) and 0.100±0.344 (2.00%) accuracy in 11.203±2.824s from raw CT images. This study provided an end-to-end solution using real clinical data based on 3D CNN to quantitatively evaluate facial aesthetics by considering three anatomical factors simultaneously, showing promising potential in reducing workload and bridging the surgeon-patient aesthetics perspective gap.

The Other: Homage to Edward Said

The current investigation aims to explore the multimodality of the visual language in cinema, which articulates pictures and words into a creative medium of contemporary aesthetics and criticism. This multimodal discourse analysis focuses on Al-Akhar (The Other, 1999), a film that renders the postcolonial philosophy of Edward Said (1935-2002), the Palestinian-American critic. Youssef Chahine (1926-2008), the Egyptian cinematic artist, produced this film. The present creativity of multimodal cinematic visual language is significant in articulating form and content, where expressive components manifest through graphic, aesthetic, and semiotic symbolisms overlapping with local/global cinematographic ecologies. Three decades ago, Al-Akhar imagined today's media dominance when it criticised the sociopolitical landscape of the 1990s, which led to a series of inhumane incidents across different geographies at the beginning of the new millennium. It investigates the impacts of media and globalisation on Arabic social systems, discussing economies and cultural heritage with imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. This paper aims to identify Youssef Chahine's cinematic art as a medium of Edward Said's criticism. Methodologically, it adopted the aesthetic analysis as a qualitative research method to explore the visual language in the cinematic medium. The research's question corresponds to the critical role of media in rendering the cultural issues of identity from aesthetic perspectives. This paper is significant because it explores the impact of critical thinking on multimodal media, which aesthetically incorporates language, fashion, architecture, sociology, philosophy and education. Furthermore, it identifies a significant dualism in art resembling a multimodal articulation of Edward Said's criticism and Youssef Chahine's cinema.

The Influence of Chinese Reserved Social System on Interpersonal Communication

Human beings are social animals, and each individual has his or her unique background, attitude, personality, behavior and values. However, the interpersonal relationship has a significant influence on everyone's emotional life and work, even on organization, communication, operation, efficiency, and the relationship between individual and organization; Interpersonal communication will be interfered by various external forces or internal forces, such as specific workplace communication, specific time communication between relatives or psychological factors. This paper mainly focuses on the fundamental tone of Chinese classical Ci and Fu, which leads to the reasons for the social constraint of both parties in interpersonal communication. From the perspective of shadow aesthetics, it views and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of "reservation" between Chinese people
