Surreal Virtual Spaces Created in Cinema with Metaverse. Avatar: The Way of Water

The metaverse was first expressed in Neal Stephenson’s science fantasy novel “Snowcrash” as the idea of a three-dimensional virtual world, in which both visual and social content are designed by the inhabitants themselves. Metaverse, which means the other universe, is presented as a three-dimensional graphic virtual world in the computer environment in Stephenson’s novel. Cinema has started to use this technology in the design of spaces by quickly integrating with the metaverse technology. In this context, the surreal understanding of art, which manifests itself in the art of painting, has also taken its place in the space designs in the cinema with the technological developments in the film industry. In this study, the definition of intersemiotics is used to express the transactions such as space and theme between paintings and films in the art universe. The concept of intertextuality, which indicates the exchange between at least two literary texts, expresses the transactions of an art discipline with other art disciplines in the recent period, with the adaptation of the concept of intertextuality to other art branches. When the concept is adapted to cinema, the comparative processes of cinema with other art disciplines are evaluated in the context of intersemiotics. In this context, the re-creation of the fictional space of the thought created by virtual reality together with the surreal movement in the cinema is evaluated through the film “Avatar: The Way of Water”.

The role of verbal painting in Leonid Leonov’s novel “Russian Forest”

L.M. Leonov dreamed of becoming an artist and the painter’s talent was embodied in his prose. His landscapes, portraits, portraits against the background of a forest in the tradition of, for example, M.V. Nesterov play an important role in the internal form of his works. The novel “Russian Forest” is indicative in this regard. The purpose of the study is to explain the functions of pictorial allusions and ekphrasis in this novel. The following tasks are solved: identify the most common allusions and ekphrasis in the paintings of Russian artists, which were popular at the time of Leonov painting training, and were subsequently paraphrased in the novel; explain the functions of recognizable paintings by masters of fine art in word painting; argue for the special role of pictorial ekphrasis in the formation of the genre diversity of the novel. As a result, some essential features of the writer’s individual style in the novel under study are clarified: the prose writer’s special attention to the descriptive component of the work makes it possible to assert that his appeal to analogies with fine art is deliberate, since they contribute to the creation of not just a scientific-production or abstract-philosophical novel, but builds a whole series of genre lines, which are supported by recognizable pictorial visualization, on the one hand, and, on the other, forms a deep socio-psychological and lyrical plan of the work. Comparisons of specific paintings transformed into ekphrasis in prose provide scientists with rich material for drawing conclusions about the synthesis of painting and prose.

Inheritance and innovation in lacquer painting teaching

Lacquer painting is an important school in the traditional painting art of our country, which has a long history and a unique artistic expression form. As an ancient and unique art form, lacquer painting has always carried the treasures of traditional culture and historical memory. However, with the progress of the times and the development of society, the teaching of lacquer painting is facing the dual challenges of inheritance and innovation. Especially, in the teaching of lacquer painting in colleges and universities, excessive emphasis is placed on craft techniques and theories, as well as the "painting flavor" of lacquer painting, while ignoring the expression of the creator's spirit and the innovation of the times. Strengthening the inheritance and innovation of lacquer painting has been widely valued. This paper aims to explore how to innovate on the basis of inheritance and realize the sustainable development of lacquer painting art.

Practical identification of cobalt‐based blue pigments detecting the induced photoluminescence by a He‐Ne laser using a Raman spectrometer

AbstractSince the early 19th century, the pigment historically known as cobalt blue has been one of the most widely used in artistic painting. Its many and excellent properties led to the rapid development of different synthesis processes for the pigments known today under the generic name of cobalt‐based pigments. The differentiation and characterization of these pigments is often difficult, because many of them are made of the same raw materials, mainly cobalt oxides (or salts) and alumina (aluminum oxide), even when Raman spectroscopy is used. In this research, six cobalt‐based trademark pigments and two chemically pure compounds, cobalt aluminate and calcined alumina, have been analyzed using a Raman spectrometer with a red He‐Ne laser (632 nm) as the excitation source. It should be noted that only the Raman band around 517 cm−1 associated with the cobalt aluminate has been detected by the authors in cobalt based pigments with this configuration. In order to obtain additional information, a fundamental aim of this work has been to detect the photoluminescence (PL) emitted by the leftover of calcined alumina (α‐alumina) in these compounds, particularly in the form of a strong doublet located at 1367 and 1396 cm−1. From an experimental point of view, it is remarkable that both Raman and PL information can be acquired within the same spectral range of the spectrometer. Additionally, the relationship between the intensities of the Raman band around 517 cm−1 and those of the doublet can be used as an indicator to estimate the quality of each pigment.

Sparsity in an artificial neural network predicts beauty: Towards a model of processing-based aesthetics.

Generations of scientists have pursued the goal of defining beauty. While early scientists initially focused on objective criteria of beauty ('feature-based aesthetics'), philosophers and artists alike have since proposed that beauty arises from the interaction between the object and the individual who perceives it. The aesthetic theory of fluency formalizes this idea of interaction by proposing that beauty is determined by the efficiency of information processing in the perceiver's brain ('processing-based aesthetics'), and that efficient processing induces a positive aesthetic experience. The theory is supported by numerous psychological results, however, to date there is no quantitative predictive model to test it on a large scale. In this work, we propose to leverage the capacity of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) to model the processing of information in the brain by studying the link between beauty and neuronal sparsity, a measure of information processing efficiency. Whether analyzing pictures of faces, figurative or abstract art paintings, neuronal sparsity explains up to 28% of variance in beauty scores, and up to 47% when combined with a feature-based metric. However, we also found that sparsity is either positively or negatively correlated with beauty across the multiple layers of the DCNN. Our quantitative model stresses the importance of considering how information is processed, in addition to the content of that information, when predicting beauty, but also suggests an unexpectedly complex relationship between fluency and beauty.

The Combination of Architectural Art and Humanization

Art is a broad term that encompasses various virtual and practical art disciplines, of which architecture is a major category. Within the broad category of art, it seems that every small category can react with each other, creating works of higher artistic quality for the world. It is precisely because art has always upheld this characteristic that it has been continuously upgraded by people in recent years. In the process of creation, many art scholars have found that both art and architecture need to be combined with people to be better accepted by society. Film art needs to be appreciated by audiences, music art needs to be listened to by people, painting art needs to be viewed by people, installation art needs to be photographed by people, and architectural art needs to be felt by users rather than a cold empty shell. Therefore, this article describes the connection between contemporary art and architecture, which can be related to human nature. Any kind of art returns to its essence in order to reflect a phenomenon that exists in mass society, and it is displayed to the public to trigger people’s resonance and reflection. Since ancient times, the relationship between architecture and people has been complementary. In the process of designing buildings, people integrate various artistic techniques to make them respond to the site and applicable people. The final design of the building also serves the users in the building, making them feel comfortable and more efficient in completing work and life. Therefore, the art of architecture is ultimately designed and thought around human nature. In recent years, tall buildings have sprung up in cities across China, and gradually every city has its own “CBD” and landmark buildings. However, what we see more often are some cold buildings, some buildings built for the purpose of volume rate and unique shape, which often only design the strange shape shell and then hand it over to the construction party, or low-level copies of master’s design works. These examples are often cold empty shells that cannot make the people living in them feel the warmth brought by the building. I think that there is a lack of artistic and user-oriented architecture in China, rather than focusing on mass production and copying. This may change the lifestyle and quality of life of the public, and realize the humanization of architecture from the perspective of architectural art.

Граффити как часть городской культуры Владивостока

The important factors in the emergence of graffiti in cities are the demand for this informal art direction among youth and tourists. The art of street painting is represented by colorful stylized inscriptions and murals on the walls. Art objects carry a certain message. The visual context dominates historical plots and personalities, acute social and political issues. The aim of the study is to describe the features of urban graffiti on the territory of the capital of Primorsky Krai. Methods of included observation, qualitative content analysis, which allows discover-ing hidden meanings, and the method of comparison are used in the work. In the context of the cultural dis-course, attention is focused on the actions of local authorities and talented artists aimed at popularizing the city’s cultural heritage in modern ways. Vladivostok’s legitimate graffiti is considered as a creative trend, trans-forming houses in the city center and beyond.

A Multimodal Research Approach to Assessing the Karst Structural Conditions of the Ceiling of a Cave with Palaeolithic Cave Art Paintings: Polychrome Hall at Altamira Cave (Spain).

Integrating geomatics remote sensing technologies, including 3D terrestrial laser scanning, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground penetrating radar enables the generation of comprehensive 2D, 2.5D, and 3D documentation for caves and their surroundings. This study focuses on the Altamira Cave's karst system in Spain, resulting in a thorough 3D mapping encompassing both cave interior and exterior topography along with significant discontinuities and karst features in the vicinity. Crucially, GPR mapping confirms that primary vertical discontinuities extend from the near-surface (Upper Layer) to the base of the Polychrome layer housing prehistoric paintings. This discovery signifies direct interconnections helping with fluid exchange between the cave's interior and exterior, a groundbreaking revelation. Such fluid movement has profound implications for site conservation. The utilization of various GPR antennas corroborates the initial hypothesis regarding fluid exchanges and provides concrete proof of their occurrence. This study underscores the indispensability of integrated 3D mapping and GPR techniques for monitoring fluid dynamics within the cave. These tools are vital for safeguarding Altamira, a site of exceptional significance due to its invaluable prehistoric cave paintings.

UPCYCLING DESIGNS OF WOMEN'S DENIM TROUSERS WITH PEINTURE METHOD

It is known that the word penture derives from the French word "peinture". Its Turkish equivalent is translated as "painting". However, it has an artistic painting meaning in our language [1]. The peinture was a symbol of richness in the past years. When we apply nature-friendly paints and peinture technique on products that we do not use, it also aims to protect nature by upcycling. General purpose: To prevent textile products from going to waste in line with recycling and sustainability trends.

A study on the prediction of development strategies of art education in universities based on deep learning model

Abstract In this paper, we propose a deep learning restoration method for fine art painting images based on a contextual encoder and select a convolutional self-encoder-based image restoration model for workflow analysis, including forward inference and backward network propagation. We design and develop a software system for predicting the grades of college art and painting students and apply the neural network prediction model to this system to realize the grade prediction of college art students. The accuracy of the GDPN model is 0.922, the precision is 0.904, and the recall is 0.966, which can consider both the temporal and overall information in the click behavior and achieve a better prediction effect.

Ecological strategies of bacterial communities in prehistoric stone wall paintings across weathering gradients: A case study from the Borana zone in southern Ethiopia

Rock art paintings represent fragile ecosystems supporting complex microbial communities tuned to the lithic substrate and climatic conditions. The composition and activity of these microbial communities associated with different weathering patterns affecting rock art sites remain unexplored. This study aimed to explore how bacterial communities adapt their ecological strategies based on substrate weathering, while also examining the role of their metabolic pathways in either biodeterioration or bioprotection of the underlying stone. SEM-EDS investigations coupled with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and PICRUSt2 analysis were applied on different weathered surfaces that affect southern Ethiopian rock paintings to investigate the relationships between the current stone microbiome and weathering patterns. The findings revealed that samples experiencing low and high weathering reached a climax stage characterized by stable microenvironments and limited resources. This condition favored K-strategist microorganisms, leading to reduced α-biodiversity and a community with a positive or neutral impact on the substrate. In contrast, moderately-weathered samples displayed diverse microhabitats, resulting in the prevalence of r-strategist bacteria, increased α-biodiversity, and the presence of specialist microorganisms. Moreover, the bacterial communities in moderately-weathered samples demonstrated the highest potential for carbon fixation, stress responses, and complete nitrogen and sulfur cycles. This bacterial community also showed the potential to negatively impact the underlying substrate. This research provided valuable insights into the little-understood ecology of bacterial communities inhabiting deteriorated surfaces, shedding light on the potential role of these microorganisms in the sustainable conservation of rock art.

Factors that Shaped the Art of Turkish Painting in The Republic Period

The roots of current Turkish painting can be traced back to the early 20th century. Until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, painting did not emerge as one of the most important and influential art forms in Turkish culture. However, as a result of the historical processes spanning from the late period of the Ottoman Empire to the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, the paradigm shift brought about by the Republic facilitated the formation and establishment of a unique art form known as Western style painting in the Turkish nation. The transformation from subjects of a monarchy to citizens of a nation, and from subjects to individual identities, which took place during the Republic era, enabled Turkish painting to acquire a national character through the influence of state patronage and the power of reforms. Although the Westernization movement and educational reforms that began during the Ottoman period led to a new formal direction influenced by the forms of the Western worldview, as well as the unique content of the Ottoman state’s worldview, it was during the Republic era that Turkish painting found its characteristic forms and expressions. While the formal patterns of painting were influenced by Western styles of the time, the subject matter and content reflected the intellectual and revolutionary world of modern Turkish society, allowing for the emergence of a distinctive form of painting art under these circumstances.

An emotional expression framework based on social media style transfer

Recently, artificial intelligence has great effort in social media. Style transfer is a subtask of deep learning, can transform images shared on social media into works with artistic painting style transfer through image recognition technology, which creating amazing effects. However, the current style transfer technology is still in the early stages of development, and can only convert the shared picture into the style of a certain artwork, but does not have the ability to convert the emotional expression of the picture. In this paper, we proposes an emotional expression framework based on social media style transfer, conducted an experiment in the LFW database where the same portrait photo can express different emotions by combining it with images of different styles and realizes the style transfer technology for emotion and emotional expression. Therefore, the application of style transfer technology in social media is of great value and can promote the intelligent development of social media.

‘A Lost Chapter of Ancient Art’: Archaeometric Examinations of Panel Paintings from Roman Egypt

ABSTRACT Ancient panel paintings on wood are, with the exception of the mesmerising mummy portraits, extremely rare. However, a small corpus of other types of Romano-Egyptian panel paintings is preserved in collections worldwide. The aim of this study is to explore the technical histories of these rare and intriguing artefacts. We present a comprehensive investigation of three Romano-Egyptian panel paintings from the collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark, including their construction, materials, pigments, binding media, and dating. The panels are examined by various methods of analysis to provide much deeper insights into the materials and techniques used for their production, and to answer questions of chronology and classification. In total, this work offers a more thorough understanding of their function, significance, and original appearance, as well as insights into the art of painting during the Roman period.
