NILAI BUDAYA SUNDA DALAM NOVEL JAWARA: ANGKARA DI BUMI KRAKATAU KARYA FATIH ZAM

This article talks about the social values in Jawara Angkara di Bumi Krakatau by Fatih Zam, particularly displaying the culture for the Sundanese ethnic community in Banten (a locale in West Java). The study points to depicting social value in the novel based on anthropological theory as a scholarly learning procedure for the younger generation. A method is a qualitative approach and content analysis to describe the substance of social values based on the occasions described in the novel. Based on information preparation, the results are about the social values in Sundanese society, counting a devout framework affected by Islamic culture, religious ceremonies such as customs to the heavenly grave as a sign of vows. The social organization framework, as a previous Islamic Kingdom (Banten), the position of the ulama in this region is excellent. It encompasses a significant social hierarchy within the structure of Banten society. The information framework, capacity, and information of the community to utilize plants and utilize apparatuses or recognize other life components, such as making houses, cooking, treating, and others. The language system used by the individuals of Banten is in rough Sundanese, although it is also known other style fine and medium Sundanese. The art system as the cultural identity of the Sundanese ethnic community in Banten is silat, debus, and machetes. The job framework of the individuals of Banten is ranchers, dealers, anglers, and cleavers makers. The system of technology and equipment, productive tools that still use traditional materials, such as for fishing and farming, and the mode of transportation still use horses.

Concepts “Monumental” and “Miniature” in Art: History and Modernity

"The article deals with the issue about the relationship between the notions of “monumental” and “miniature” in various types of art. A very conditional division of these notions is noted. These notions are characteristic of artistic creativity in general and, as a result, determine the genre definitions of creative achievement in each of the types of art. It has been established that the results of this process are directly embodied in the genre system of musical art, which is influenced by the action of general trends and reflects general processes with a significant degree of mediation. It is noted that the manifestation of “monumental” and “miniature” in different types of art is characterized by a common basis, but different ways of embodiment, which are explained by the various systems of artistic creation means. The historical variability of the notions “monumental” and “miniature” is traced in accordance with the change in aesthetic preferences of a particular historical era. The tendency of unification of the notions “monumental” and “miniature” in the system of contemporary art as special concepts, the mixing of which sets out the pluralism of postmodern cultural space (the idea of space in space), is indicated. Keywords: art, monumental, miniature, genre system, means of expression. "

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ISSUE OF AUTHORSHIP AND UNIQUENESS FOR WORKS OF ART (TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE NEXT REMBRANDT)

The purpose of the article is to explore the specifics and uniqueness of visual works created using AI technology. The research methodology is based on applying analytical, theoretical, and conceptual research methods of technological art and the interrelation between digital technologies and art in general. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the art forms that created using digital technologies were analysed for the first time. In the article, we have considered the phenomenon of technological art due to integrating art and technology. Conclusions. It is revealed that due to the mathematical analysis of the artists’ artworks, certain algorithms of the author’s work can be found, the main components of the work of art can be analysed, and the sign system of art can be transformed into a system of a different order which is numerical one. Thus, the colour, shape, positioning of the objects on the canvas (composition) — everything turns into numerical formulas and combinations. The graphic drawing is transformed into digital, algorithmic. A certain number system is being built, which allows to group works (one artist, era, art movement) into single collection systems, analyse and identify similar algorithmic chains, and create new art products based on these algorithms using the obtained numerical combinations. It means that with algorithmic analysis, it is possible to compare and even combine different types of art within one plane, one form, and one art product.

Emergent Remix Culture in an Anonymous Collaborative Art System

Many crowdsourcing systems have a contribution model that is shallow but massively parallel, with contributors rarely processing or iterating upon the work of others. Few systems, even those crowdsourcing creativity or artistic talent, are designed to allow deep chains where the ideas of one individual feed into and directly inspire another individual. To explore the ways in which creative ideas arise and evolve under the influence of specific artifacts created by others, we examine patterns from over 50,000 sketches created and uploaded with Sketch-a-bit, a collaborative mobile drawing application in which each sketch is directly prompted by a previous sketch. In this paper, we report results from two analyses of content created in the system's first two years of deployment. First, we apply qualitative coding to survey the range of effort and creativity in user actions (including actions ranging from unintentioned scribbles to subtly inspired reimaginations of source material through the unexpected preparation of blank canvases for others). Second, we perform an exploratory analysis of large-scale behaviors manifest in chains or trees of sketches (such as open-ended conversations and structured gameplay). The intent of this work is to describe an iterative model of collaborative creativity and to demonstrate a range of remixing behaviors that can be expected to arise in unrestricted, anonymous collaborative creativity applications.

Learning hierarchical probabilistic logic programs

Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) combines logic programs and probabilities. Due to its expressiveness and simplicity, it has been considered as a powerful tool for learning and reasoning in relational domains characterized by uncertainty. Still, learning the parameter and the structure of general PLP is computationally expensive due to the inference cost. We have recently proposed a restriction of the general PLP language called hierarchical PLP (HPLP) in which clauses and predicates are hierarchically organized. HPLPs can be converted into arithmetic circuits or deep neural networks and inference is much cheaper than for general PLP. In this paper we present algorithms for learning both the parameters and the structure of HPLPs from data. We first present an algorithm, called parameter learning for hierarchical probabilistic logic programs (PHIL) which performs parameter estimation of HPLPs using gradient descent and expectation maximization. We also propose structure learning of hierarchical probabilistic logic programming (SLEAHP), that learns both the structure and the parameters of HPLPs from data. Experiments were performed comparing PHIL and SLEAHP with PLP and Markov Logic Networks state-of-the art systems for parameter and structure learning respectively. PHIL was compared with EMBLEM, ProbLog2 and Tuffy and SLEAHP with SLIPCOVER, PROBFOIL+, MLB-BC, MLN-BT and RDN-B. The experiments on five well known datasets show that our algorithms achieve similar and often better accuracies but in a shorter time.

Features of copyright protection of some specific works of contemporary art

Ulitina O. Features of copyright protection of some specific works of contemporary art. The article is devoted to the legal protection issues of the atypical objects of copyright, which belong to modern arts. The place and role of such objects in the system of copyright objects are defined. Based on the study of doctrinal provisionson such atypical objects, their differences from traditional objects of copyright are determined. In article it is also indicated how the place of such objects in the system of contemporary art influences it.An analysis of the Ukrainian legislation and the foreign countries legislation in this area was made, and it allowed to identify such atypical objects in the system of modern art works and in the system of copyright objects.Contemporary art is interesting and complex phenomenon, which is characterized by the great influence of technology, rapid development and large profits. Today, as never before, we can say that creativity can benefit its creator, and art is becoming more accessible to anyone who wants to create something.New platforms for creativity often appear. Frequently they are free of charge, and help new authors to gain an audience and become popular. This process can be observed in almost all creative fields. That has given the impetus to the rapid development and rise of all manifestations of art.Of course, the Internet influences thisprocess the most. The Internet provides access to great opportunities for creating works and promoting them among content consumers. The Internet quickly makes talented people rich and popular, but it also quickly makes people forget about yesterday's idols.However, such processes are beneficial for the art development and modern culture strengthening. They lead to the new arts emergence and to the development of culture and creativity in general, as well as attract funds to the creative industries.This situation leads to the emergence of new atypical copyright objects, which remain outside the legal regulation, and sometimes are found on the verge of infringement of copyright and related rights.Due to the opportunities created by technological and technical development, creativity becomes more accessible, art becomes the prerogative not only of professional artists, but of ordinary talented people. This leads to the emergence of new interesting types of works, the legal status of which is sometimes quite difficult to determine. So the article is dedicated to the issues of legal regulating of this new atypical copyright objects.Key words: copyright, untypical objects, copyright protection

ЕХРЕRIENCE OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IN INVESTING IN CULTURE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION FOR UKRAINE

Increasing the investment attractiveness of the cultural sphere of Ukraine is possible only with the introduction of modern tools and mechanisms to attract resources that have become widespread in the world and have proven their effectiveness.
 The model of public financing of culture is formed in each country on the basis of a choice of methods, forms and mechanisms of financial policy. Its formation is greatly influenced by such factors as traditional national cultural preferences, as well as the development of philanthropy, sponsorship and philanthropy. The system of financing culture and art is determined by the degree of centralization of public administration and the nature of intergovernmental relations. In unitary states, the central budget continues to play a major role.
 The main types of financial support for culture and art in different countries by attracting state investment (budget funding) are direct funding, general and targeted transfers, joint participation of different levels of government, support through independent intermediaries, public-private partnership.
 The experience of financial support for the cultural sphere in the EU countries indicates that countries are trying to pay considerable attention to the development of this sphere. The most common mechanism for attracting investment and increasing funding for culture in the EU is a reduced VAT rate on the consumption of a cultural product or service.
 Despite the significant number of tools used by European countries to attract investment in culture and increase the investment attractiveness of culture, we should not forget about public investment. Public and private investment are complementary. Public investment, in turn, guarantees the priority of the sphere for the state, consolidates the development of confidence in the public good of culture, ensuring the stability of the development of the cultural sphere.
 In the proposed model of multi-channel financing, the main investors can be the state at the expense of state and local budgets, private partners (businesses, enterprises, etc.) and directly the population (those who consume cultural services and products).
 The proposed model of multi-channel financing combines best practices and tools to attract financial resources in the field of culture, which have become widespread in the European Union. It should also be noted that based on the analysis, it can be argued that the introduction of a project approach to finance culture and create competitive markets for cultural services can serve as a basis for organizational and economic mechanism to increase investment attractiveness of culture in Ukraine.

Development of a Cultural-Based Application at Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan as a Learning Media for Tourists

Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan is an area located in the heart of Malang City. 60 preserved heritage buildings are still occupied by the community to this day. Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan is a common thread in the history of the struggle of the Indonesian nation and the history of the city of Malang, which has many assets that must be preserved and explained to tourists. This study’s researchers developed an application entitled KAMPOENG HERITAGE KAJOETANGAN as a medium of learning about the culture in this village, including historical information, knowledge systems, language, systems and technology equipment, and art, livelihood, religious and social systems. This application was developed following the Borg & Gall development model which was simplified into 4 steps given the time restrictions, namely: Research and Data Collection, Planning, Product Draft Development, and Final Product Completion. The visualization of illustrations, fonts, colors, and music featured in this product have an Indische nuance, making it easier for tourists to learn and foster an aesthetic experience like going back in time.

Research on the Application Mode of Green Environment Design under the Background of Artificial Intelligence

In the field of green environmental design, the design system of environmental art is a complex and multidimensional cross-domain fusion system, which can be regarded as a large task system. The development model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) technology and green environment design can not only integrate and analyze problems quickly and efficiently but also provide designers with new design ideas, gradually extending traditional environment design concepts, producing more diverse artistic creation methods, and shifting from a fixed application model to a more diversified artistic development. Therefore, on the basis of summarizing and analyzing previous research works, this paper expounded the research status and significance of green environment design, elaborated the development background, current status, and future challenges of AI technology, introduced the network topology and platform frame structures of green environment design under the AI background, constructed a technical framework of green environment design under the AI background, analyzed the methods and principles of program design and function development, proposed the application model of green environment design under the AI background, conducted design function model optimization and intelligent design process analysis, and finally discussed the evaluation indicators and hierarchical analysis of the green environment design under the AI background. The results show that the application mode of combining AI technology and green environment design can not only help designers break through traditional time and space barriers and use multidimensional thinking but also help designers have a new understanding of artistic design concept and give full play to the advantages of artificial intelligence in a green environment. The study results of this paper provide a reference for further research on the application mode of green environment design under the AI background.

How Javanese Culture Shaping Political Ideology (Case Study of the People in Yogyakarta)

The original Javanese culture of the communities in Java has been running for decades, meaning that this culture has been very rich in elements of universal culture such as the system of social organization, knowledge, arts, religion, and language. Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace plays an essential role as the center and cultural resource owned by the city of Yogyakarta; one of the areas that are still famous for its cultural guardians, traditions, and behaviors of an ancestor. This research used qualitative methods to obtain data through literature reviews and interviews. Literature review and interview results then became analytical material and adapted to the existing frame of thought as a result of the library studies conducted at the beginning. Then after the analysis process was completed, the results were obtained. This research revealed that the Javanese culture in the people of Yogyakarta affected the political ideology because when speaking about Javanese culture, three aspects cannot be separated in the Javanese community, especially Yogyakarta, Javanese culture, Belief, and religion. A contest will always be syncretism, cannot be constantly intact on assimilation, and acculturation is even alienated (to be drawn). As long as the Javanese people still exist, the Javanese culture will remain alive and develop when the relics of letters, dialectics, and cultures still exist.

OOСОБЛИВОСТІ МУЗИЧНОЇ ПОЕТИКИ КРИМСЬКОТАТАРСЬКОЇ НАРОДНОЇ ЕМІГРАНТСЬКОЇ ПІСНІ «AЙТЫР ДА АГЪЛАРЫМ» («CКАЖУ ТА Й ПЛАЧУ»)

Scientific studies of Crimean Tatar folklore, in particular emigrant songs, began in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. Important contributions to this research were made by suchfolklorists as O. Olesnitsky, Ya. Sherfedinov, A. Refatov, Yu. Bolat, Ibr. Bachshish, F. Aliev, A. Veliev. However, the artistic world of Crimean Tatars’ national emigration song has notbeen studied thoroughly until now. The song “I’d say and cry” (“Aityr da aglarym”) occupies an exceptional place in CrimeanTatars’ emigrant folklore. It includes the motifs of a bitter farewell with native land, anxious marine trip, disasters in distant country. This song is peculiar by its strophe structure and rhythm. A title that comes from short refrain line reminds a piercing exclamation. Intensifying particle da gives the special resiliency. This intensifying particle can be consideredas particle among particle, rather as an exclamation among exclamation, because a refrain line plays the same intensifying role between other song lines, where another exclamation(“ei yar”) also appears. Such atypical verse form underlines intonational, figurative, narrative strokes of lyrical expression. Combination of them helps to depict the striking pictureof human suffering. This composition is not only sufficiently old, and is widespread. Its different variants according to toponyms, that appears in them (from Yevpatoria to Kerch),and belong the dialectal features of literary text to the different Crimean region. The long chants (singings of one sound), which are typical of oriental musical poetics, play an important role in the art system of this song. We can say this also about pauses, stops, detentions and prolonging of notes, which sound similar to moaning and groaning, thereby expressing such human distresses as inexorable solitude and an impossibility to returning to something light and sweet, which belongs to past. The means of musical expressiveness of this song effectively support the literary exposition. They strengthen the lyrical anxiety and dramatic depth of the folk text.

Screenwriting: Between Art and Craft

This paper discusses the teaching of screenwriting and storytelling in terms of art and craft. It argues that since Romanticism established itself in the 19th century as the dominant Western view on art and culture, it has driven a wedge between people’s notions of art and craft, promoting the former and demoting the latter. This rift has impeded the teaching of screenwriting and storytelling in general. Following this, art historians and sociologists of art have suggested developing a “third system of art,” one that reintegrates the artist and the artisan, the art and craft-based values. This essay develops the basic tenets of a “technical approach” to the teaching of screenwriting. This technical approach sits in-between a Romantically biased “free-wheeling” approach and a mechanistic, “rule-based” approach. It is argued that a technical approach to screenwriting or storytelling could help materialize such a “third system of art” and benefit the practice, teaching, and study of screenwriting and storytelling.

Optimization of the Rapid Design System for Arts and Crafts Based on Big Data and 3D Technology

In this paper, to solve the problem of slow design of arts and crafts and to improve design efficiency and aesthetics, the existing big data and 3D technology are used to conduct an in-depth analysis of the optimization of the rapid design system of arts and crafts machine salt baking.

What the World Needs Now is Jazz

The worldwide lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic initiated an economic crisis, especially in the performing arts world. With all events cancelled for many months and limited options to return to live performance in the future, the arts community had to respond quickly. The jazz model, specifically improvisational training, has been discussed frequently in the entrepreneurship literature as an important method for making decisions in uncertain situations. Furthermore, the principle of Effectual Entrepreneurship defined as engaging in a continuous cycle of ideation and experimentation towards creating solutions from available means and techniques, is usually associated with a growth mindset fostered by training in improvisational techniques. Hence, this article documents and discusses the hypothesis that directions and activities pursued by jazz musicians who train their improvisational capacities on a regular basis can provide a glimpse of the evolving new model. Data collected from a survey, published literature, and several in-depth interviews and conclusions point towards a hybrid model of new technologies and modes of interaction combined with the need to preserve human engagement. Furthermore, the fragility of the current performing arts system calls for structural redesign and new focus on local communities.

Automatic Estimation of Action Unit Intensities and Inference of Emotional Appraisals

The development of a two-stage approach for appraisal inference from automatically detected Action Unit (AUs) intensities in recordings of human faces is described. AU intensity estimation is based on a hybrid approach fusing information from individually fitted mesh model of the faces and texture information. Evaluation results for two datasets and a comparison against a state of the art system are provided. In the second stage, the emotional appraisals novelty, valence and control are predicted from estimated AU intensities by linear regressions. Prediction performance is evaluated based on face recordings from a market research study, which were rated by human observers in terms of perceived appraisals. Predictions of valence and control from automatically estimated AU intensities closely match those obtained from manually coded AUs in terms of agreement with human observers, while novelty predictions lag somewhat behind. Overall, results highlight the flexibility and interpretability of a two-stage approach to emotion inference.

Low life: William Hogarth, visual culture and sociologies of art.

This paper is an effort to understand Hogarth's unique position in early eighteenth century London, so as to grasp the rich complexity of his work. It begins by tracing two rival competing positions in the sociology of art, derived from Becker and Bourdieu, before taking a closer look at how Hogarth's work conjures up a new vision of the world, providing shape and meaning to the nation's changing understandings of morality, society, and the city. A fundamental transformation in the field of representation appears halfway through the eighteenth century and the interweaving of art theory, national identity, and systems of patronage are at the centre of this dynamic period. It is no accident that in Hogarth's world the main targets are those who seek to transgress their stations in life and cross class barriers. By combining two different sociological approaches to art the study builds a more nuanced picture of the artist and his work.

Adaptive phyconomy for sustainable management of coastal ecoscapes in Indonesia

Adaptive phyconomy supports holistic, sustainable marine ecoscape development as a component of integrated coastal area management (ICAM). Phyconomy is the branch of applied phycology that comprises systems of art, science and technology applied to production systems that yield crops of algae. Through the macroalgae known as “seaweeds”, farmers turn seawater, sunshine, and effort into money. Adaptive marine phyconomy of tropical red seaweeds is an outstanding example of large-scale crop production that developed primarily from simple methods refined by farmers in the sea, but as of 2020 it is, still much more art than science. Phyconomy, ecoscape issues and market issues are intertwined in a way that demands holistic planning and management. Every phyconomy action is influenced not only by energy and materials issues, but also by issues among value chain stakeholder alliances. Ocean farming functions take place under conditions where environmental and socio-economic conditions are often uncertain, therefore adaptive approaches must be applied in a way that is resilient and sustainable. The present paper discusses how adaptive phyconomy art and science is being developed as a fundamental component of integrated coastal area management for sustainable marine ecoscape development in Indonesia.

Generating geographical location descriptions with spatial templates: a salient toponym driven approach

ABSTRACT Natural language descriptions of geographical locations are used frequently in daily life and there is a motivation to create systems that generate such descriptions automatically, for purposes such as documentation of where events have taken place, where a person is located, where photos were taken and where plants and animals are located. Typically location descriptions combine references to named geographical features with vague spatial relational terms, such as near, north of and at that relate locations to the features. Here we describe a system for generating location descriptions, that combines spatial templates, that model the applicability of different spatial relations relative to a reference location, with toponyms in the vicinity of the described location that are selected according to aspects of salience. The toponyms are retrieved from a gazetteer service based on OpenStreetMap for which we create a hierarchical feature classification scheme to facilitate selection of toponyms according to distinctiveness of their feature types and other aspects of salience. The advantages of the approach are demonstrated in a user study, relative to an existing state of the art system and to other baseline approaches that include manually created captions and the automated methods of two widely used photo captioning systems.

Mining of High Utility Item sets using Genetic Algorithm

A high utility item set mining system using genetic algorithm has been proposed in this article. The proposed system mines high utility item sets by parsing the database only once. The high utility item set mining problem has been reformulated as a constrained optimization problem. Genetic algorithm has been used to mine the high utility item sets. The entities such as gene, chromosome, population and fitness function, required to apply genetic algorithm for mining high utility item sets has been defined. In the proposed system, due to the requirements imposed by the high utility item set mining problem, a non binary representation of the genetic algorithm has been proposed. The operators of genetic algorithm such as cross over and selection operation have been customized to efficiently operate in the mining problem. To reduce the explosion of candidate generation, an upper bound based on the sum of the item set utility and remaining utility is used. The item set utility is compared with the threshold to select the high utility item sets. The remaining utility is used to select prospective candidates for superset generation. The algorithm starts with an initial population comprising of single item set. The fitness function computes the sum of the item set utility and the remaining utility and selects the prospective item sets for breeding. The children are generated by merging two prospective item sets. The selection and breeding process are repeated until there are no more chromosomes in the population for further breeding. The proposed system was able to identify high utility item sets in a single scan of the database. The genetic algorithm was able to converge from an initial population of item sets to high utility item sets. Extensive testing of the proposed system showed the optimal potential of the system verified to other similar state of the art system.
