The Intersection of Art and Technology: Innovative Thinking and Practice in the Perspective of New Media

Abstract The swift advancement of science and technology has emerged as a pivotal catalyst for artistic innovation, with immersive art displays becoming increasingly prevalent as a favored mode of creative expression. This paper conducts a thorough analysis of the flow dynamics within immersive art display spaces, utilizing the eight-channel cardio fluid flow model as a foundation. By integrating the immersive communication effect model, this study further investigates the communicative aspects of these spaces. The implementation of human-computer interaction technologies not only enhances visual presentation but also facilitates the design of immersive art spaces through advanced scene modeling techniques. This design process includes optimizing the viewer’s perspective by incorporating visual perception parameters and the grid saliency MS algorithm. Additionally, this research undertakes a quantitative evaluation of interactive applications at the nexus of art, science, and technology, focusing on audience demand, interactive experiences, and recognition. The findings reveal a significant increase in audience demand for digital media interaction, from 12.64% to 31.29%, and an impressive average tolerance score of 84.32 for immersive art spaces. Comments related to these spaces uniformly express positive recognition, underscoring the successful integration of science and technology in art displays. This integration, as demonstrated, fosters a diverse evolution of artistic expression forms.

Immersive public art and humanistic city image building in the digital era

Abstract The evolving times, along with the advancements in science and technology, have led to a transformation in public art. The emergence of digital media public art, which plays a crucial role in shaping the city’s image, has brought art to life. This paper utilizes virtual reality technology and digital media technology to create an immersive public art space. The CAVE system creates an immersive effect, while Kinect and Unity3D scene docking enable interactive effects. We design a questionnaire to gather data on the public’s experience of immersive public art in Shenzhen and their perception of the city’s image-shaping. We then explore the relationship between the two using structural equations and correlation analysis. The results reveal a strong correlation between the perception of immersive public art experiences and the shaping of urban images, with an average correlation of 0.795. The influence of immersive public art’s sensory experience, interactive experience, and cognitive experience on humanistic city image shaping was significant (P<0.05). Additionally, awareness of immersive public art had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between the two. This paper lays the foundation for creating immersive public art spaces and provides valuable reference ideas for shaping a humanistic city image.

Virtual Reality-based Meta-Cosmic Perspective on Curriculum Integration Innovations in Art and Technology Programs

Abstract At the end of the 20th century, the development of science and technology has made remarkable achievements, and some artists have begun to try to integrate science and technology into art creation. In this paper, based on DEM art space analysis, Unity technology is added to build a three-dimensional scene for teaching art and technology professional courses. At the same time, HoloLens2-based sensory interaction technology is introduced to enhance the integration of art and technology in the virtual classroom. Based on this basis, a teaching framework for VR art and technology fusion courses centered on students’ learning and interaction experience is designed and applied to actual teaching. In the sample correlation analysis, the experience of the relevant courses in the early stage had a significant impact on both the shadow students’ artistic self-perception (t=0.7854, p<0.01) and their learning behaviors in the later stage (t=0.6452, p<0.01). After the integration of art and technology teaching, the student’s interest in art learning and technology learning were both enhanced, with the mean values of 0.07398 and 0.0.20255, respectively, and the integration of art and technology professional course curriculum based on virtual reality technology effectively improved the students’ learning interest.

문래창작촌의 상업화와 예술생태 변화 연구

This paper aims to analyze the impact of the commercialization of the recently emerged Mullae Art Village, an art cluster, on the art ecology, specifically the creative activities of artists. To achieve this goal, Focus Group Interviews (FGI) and in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 13 artists. Various data related to Mullae Art Village were also analyzed to examine the current state of commercialization and its effects on the art ecology. The analysis revealed that Mullae Art Village has entered a rapid stage of commercialization. Significant changes in the local space are rapidly occurring, and notably, there is a reduction in the available space for artists. The study also confirmed a significant transformation within the local art scene due to the increase in commercial artistic activities. In response to these findings, the research proposes management systems for coping with local commercialization and policy suggestions for preserving artistic activities. Mullae Art Village serves as a space for diverse artistic activities, and the commercialization of the area is closely tied to these artistic endeavors. Therefore, the significance of this study lies in the discussion of strategies for sustainable development through the coexistence of art and commercialization.

《三水小牍》的空间叙事研究

This paper starts from the perspective of ‘space’ and studies the spatial narrative of San Shui Xiao Du by Huang Fu mei in late Tang Dynasty form modern narratology. Space, as one of the most important elements of the novel, its spatial structure presented in the novel is the result of the author's intention. These spaces existing in the work not only construct the framework of the novel, but also place the central idea of the literary work. Therefore, exploring the narrative function of space in the text is conducive to better understanding the meaning of each place in the novel. This paper mainly takes the artistic space in the work as the research object, which refers to the four real spaces of Ancestral Temples, Family Mansion, Temples Taoist, and Military war. By intensive reading and comparative analysis of the text, it reveals the narrative function of the four real space in the novel from three aspects：promoting the development of the storyline, shaping the characters’ images and satirizing the social situation. It can be seen that the space in literary works not only be regarded as the background of the story, but also play an irreplaceable role in the narrative of novels.

The power of denial. From denial to creation: creative resistance in the city of Athens

The crisis leads to multiple denials in the face of everyday life and the conditions of reproduction of work it imposes. In this paper, I describe the basic denials in spaces of creative resistance in Athens during multiple crises. Through a systematic study of collaborative economy spaces, solidarity structures, and independent art spaces, I discern a progression of individuals from denial to creation and ultimately to action. I also strive to articulate the emerging modes of mobilization within these spaces. Faced with this reality, the act of denial emerges as the primary and transformative catalyst, sparking the forces of creativity and resistance. The denials of everyday life imposed by neoliberalism, as witnessed in Athens during the crisis, resulted in the creation of autonomous and self-organized spaces.

Концептуальні виміри німецького магічного реалізму

The article outlines the vectors of methodological research of magical realism and identifies the differential features of this literary phenomenon in the theoretical discourse of German literary criticism. The author of the article focuses on the ambivalence of German magical realism, caused by the combination in magical realist texts of two inherently opposite ways of depicting reality – realistic and irreal. In magical realist texts, the magical appeal of reality is emphasized, when the objects of reality only hint at the existence of another world beyond it, acquiring a numinous aureole in the aesthetic focus of realism. The specificity of magical realism lies in its heterogeneity, and therefore requires the appropriate selection of methodological tools that would open the way to the world of magical realist texts, which in many cases has a multi-level structure with polysemantic content. Special attention within the context of the conceptualization of magical realism is paid to the semiotic model of “double conditioning” by A. Koschorke and the concept of “ruderal space” by B. Schaefer. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that magical realism demonstrates the synergistic effect of the emergence of a certain new artistic space with hidden deep meanings and elliptical structures that form the semantic polyphony of the text with a variable multiplicity of meanings. Through liminality and transgression, the semantic potential of the magical is activated, aimed at overcoming the boundary between the immanent and transcendent worlds.

B. BRECHT: PROBLEMS OF TRANSFORMING A LITERARY TEXT IN THE SPACE OF PERFORMING ART

The article is devoted to the problem of transformation of Bertolt Brecht's drama into the stage space, technical and ideological accents of his work and analysis of the key problems of artistic interpretation of the text of plays. The problem of reproducing Brecht's works is closely related to the peculiarities of the "epic theatre" and the concepts introduced by the playwright. The article identifies the peculiarities of the created theatre, defines the accents that are important in the process of staging plays, in particular: preserving Brechtian conflict in translation, introducing the necessary artistic elements (scenery, music, costumes, etc.), understanding the technique of "alienation", etc. The effect of "alienation" is a key requirement of epic theatre and aims to portray a familiar phenomenon from an unexpected perspective. In addition, the actor becomes a part of the conventional world, does not transform into his character. In this case, the viewer becomes an actor himself, tries on the role of each character and is able to draw independent conclusions, not those dictated by the author and the plot.
 "The Threepenny Opera" is the most famous of the artist's other works. It is a synthesis of Brechtian innovations and complex interweaving of social themes that complement each other. When recreating this play on stage and on screen, directors must take into account the social and historical contexts, as well as the appropriateness of depicting theatrical scenes. A striking example of a misunderstanding of Brecht's work is the film by H. Pabst, in which the director pays more attention to artistic elements that shift the emphasis to visual rather than intellectual perception of the play.

Decolonizing African (hi)stories through visual arts: African contemporary art as a way of looking back and moving ahead

AbstractConsidered for a long time by the art world as “primitive,” African art has always been used by Africans as a way of telling the story of their time, of establishing a connection between the visible and the invisible, the here and the hereafter. With colonization and then Independence, the notion and forms of African art have evolved through complex and diverse encounters with modernity to a contemporary art form that reflects the multiple identities of the continent and its diasporas. While the notion of modern art was initially strongly influenced by the West, as evidenced by the first schools of arts established on the continent, it gradually asserted its place and identity as both universal and specific to the continent and its history. This (r)evolution is taking place through two parallel movements, both within and outside Africa, supported by the organization of major international and regional events and the establishment of dedicated art spaces in Africa and globally.

Категория видимого / невидимого в цикле Д. А. Емца «ШНыр»

Introduction. In Christian fantasy, the visible/invisible dichotomy is closely related to such a religious and philosophical concept as knowledge and corresponds to the Christian concept of the universe. The purpose of our article is the need to analyze the features of the perception of Christian doctrine, implemented within the framework of the above category on the example of fantasy prose. The choice of the Russian writer Dmitry Alexandrovich Yemts as the material of the “SHNyr” cycle is justified by the presence of Christian aesthetics and philosophy in his novels, as well as their relative lack of study. Results and conclusions. The article concludes that the category of the visible / invisible in the D. Yemts cycle “Shnyr” is associated with such a religious and philosophical concept as knowledge, and corresponds to the Christian concept of the universe. The visible/invisible dichotomy defines the specifics of an artistic space composed of three worlds: superdense, material and subtle. In the center of the superdense dvushka (two-room apartment) there is God, the only invisible one in the true sense of the word. All other characters and things belonging to other worlds can only be considered conditionally invisible. The category of the visible / invisible in the “SHNyr” cycle, first of all, is not related to the object of vision, but to how perfect the subject of action is, i.e. how perfect the one who sees them is. Above all, the absolute is God, then His likeness are the people with varying degrees of perfection/ holiness, and below all fallen beings are the Elbs. The categories under study are closely linked to the idea of the cycle — the desire of people to know (see) the divine grain in each other and in everything around them.

REVISITING THE MECHANISMS OF FUNCTIONING OF THE ARTISTIC SPACE OF AN OLD EGYPTIAN PRIVATE TOMB

This paper examines the mechanism of functioning of the artistic space of the Egyptian noble tomb of the Old Kingdom period as a system of pictorial and architectural components. The purpose of the burial and the mechanism of functioning of the system to a great extent determined the themes and content of the plots, which contributes a special relevance to the study. A systematic analysis of reliefs from more than a hundred burials of the necropolises of Giza and Saqqara is used, with a focus on the design of the large tombs of Yasen and Chi. The paper emphasizes the fact that the universal mechanism for the functioning of the level system “a large image of the owner – a nearby scene” is a stable correlation between the elements of the attribute set of the nobleman and the content of the plots. Moreover, a large image of the nobleman is valuable not only as an image itself, but also as a set of necessary attributes that allow one to engage in “contemplating” on the images corresponding to these attributes. A new unusual variant of correlation has been identified by depicting a nobleman without the required attribute, however in a certain pose in which this attribute is usually present. Thus, the combination of the necessary insignia, combined with the pose of the depicted nobleman, endowed the large image of the owner with additional functions, allowing it to correlate with several plots and scenes of different content.

LITERARY WAYS OF CYCLISATION IN MODERN ROCK POETRY (based on the album “Creativity in the Void” by the “DDT”)

This article is intended to concretise the methods of cyclisation in the album “Creativity in the Voidˮ of the “DDTˮ, the presence of which indicates the integrity of the musical collection of it. The real goal dictates the solution of several research tasks, including the theoretical substantiation of cyclisation as a scientific problem in the study of rock poetry, the identification of the characteristic features of cyclisation inherent in the poetry of rock performers, and the analysis of the logic of building the album “Creativity in the Voidˮ of the rock band “DDT”. When performing the work, analytical methods of research, synthesis and comparison were applied, sociocultural and some biographical factors were considered, which makes it possible to reveal the philosophical and aesthetic meanings inherent in the single artistic space of the collection as a “product” of cyclisation. The author of this article concludes that the phenomenon of cyclisation is inherent in the work of the rock band “DDT”. The non-randomness of the arrangement of texts in the structure of the album has an impact on the interpretation of the picture of the world of the poet Yuri Shevchuk, which is artistically explicated in the musical works included in the framework of a separate album. The conclusions of the study make a certain contribution to the development of ideas about the artistic originality of the named musical band, expand the understanding of the phenomenon of cyclisation, including metacyclisation, in the work of rock performers in general.

An analysis of spatial designs produced through mid-journey in relation to creativity standards

The purpose of this study is to comprehend how the artistic spaces developed by designer Hassan Ragab using Midjourney, one of the artificial intelligence technologies whose significance is growing every day, fit into the intersection of architecture and art. Using the random sampling method, six space modellings with three distinct forms and functions were selected for the study from the artistic spaces made by Hassan Ragab via Midjourney. People who have received or are undergoing design training were surveyed to analyze their perception of creative design principles in selected works. A total of 200 participants from two distinct design sub-professional groups were subjected to the research. According to the study, artificial intelligence offers a way for people without artistic ability to access art. Midjourney is an AI research lab with its own program and online platform that generates artwork from provided text. By using Midjourney, architectural designs can be turned into artistic works. Experts have found that most spatial designers have yet to try Midjourney and that the program has a significant impact on creative design principles like fluency, flexibility, elaboration, originality and freedom.

VERBAL MEANS OF CREATING ARTIFICIAL SPACE IN THE LITERATURE OF THE FANTASY GENRE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE NARRATIVE ABOUT HARRY POTTER BY JK ROWLING «HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLE OF FIRE»)

The article is devoted to the analysis of verbal means of creating artistic space in modern fantasy literature. The issue of literary geography and mapping of the narrative text is considered on the example of the fourth part of the septol- ogy of Harry Potter adventures “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” by JK Row- ling. Special attention is paid to the means of transition from the magical world of the story to the muggle world of the main character. The verbal means of creating the artistic space of this narrative are also highlighted and analyzed based on the book material of the original text of the British author and the Ukrainian translation by V. Morozov and S. Andruhovych. The translation analysis of this work was carried out; extralinguistic and linguistic factors of the narrative about the little sorcerer are highlighted. A statistical analysis of selected verbal means of translation of the artistic space was carried out and translation operations were singled out. The toponymic names of the fantasy narrative were separately ana- lyzed and the means of their translation from English to Ukrainian were high- lighted. The results of the study show that Ukrainian translators chose the strategy of communicative-equivalent translation, which is the closest to the text, using adaptive means of translation. Thanks to this, the Ukrainian translation is con- sidered one of the best translations for the Ukrainian recipient.
