Form Of Public Art Research Articles

공공미술로서의 데이터 아트의 활용 가능성 연구 : 추상성과 복잡성을 중심으로

This study explores data art as a form of public art, focusing on visual abstraction and complexity. In recent years, new media works such as installation art and media art have transformed public spaces and architecture, turning urban areas into places that offer new experiences and inspiration beyond mere transit or commercial uses. However, the utilization of data art as public art remains limited. Data art visually represents vast amounts of data, providing unique insights and conveying new meanings through various forms. For instance, data art that integrates real-time climate data can offer both important messages and aesthetic experiences. The analysis of the technical and artistic aspects of data art installed in public spaces reveal the following: Data art’s abstraction and complexity provide citizens with immersive and novel experiences, enabling mental rejuvenation. Data art, expressed in geometric abstraction or abstract expressionist styles, captivates viewers and offers a balanced complexity designed by the artist, delivering surprise and newness. Utilizing diverse raw data and visualized in real-time, data art is created as installation pieces using digital screens or LEDs. These artworks are installed in various public places such as building lobbies, bus stops, and parks, allowing more people to experience art in their daily lives. Therefore, as public art, data art, with its abstraction and complexity, can engage citizens emotionally and promote open-minded thinking.

The role of public art has changed in recent times: a study

Public art which falls under the institutional category of visual arts primarily focuses on audience engagement and public representation. Additionally, there are other types of art in public settings that are designed for audience participation. The term Public Art means to those works of art commissioned and sponsored, monuments, memorials, and civic statues and sculpture installed in physical public domain by the Government and agencies and organization, which are especially significant within the Art World. The term is sometimes also applied to include and art which is exhibited in a public space these public art are basically symbolic, imaginary and illustrative representation on the Historical, political and cultural and civic values of the state. While speaking of public sculptures we often speak in terms of its artistic identity i.e. we always look at it and recognize merely as a piece of art only. We cannot undermine its importance in day to day social, cultural and political life. The presence of these pieces of art in any society holds a cultural recognition of that particular society. These are like the index or contents of a book that are sufficient enough to explain the entire subject matter. These public sculptures have become a part and partial of our day to day life. Since the colonial times to the modern era, in India, public art has undergone numerous changes. The institutions of public art and the public realm, media, genres, and forms of public art have all changed over time. Since the last two decades, site-specificity, public engagement, and process-based activities have been the main focuses of art in public spaces. Two types of public space can be distinguished. The first is the actual public space as a location, site, piece or thing. The second is the discursive public space, which is an abstract/conceptual area created briefly as a result of private individuals coming together to talk about or share important and light-hearted subjects. According to Habermas, this discursive space is the public sphere, which includes gatherings and encounters of people in public places like coffee shops, streets, community centers, and parks.

The art of resisting mega-event amnesia: reconstructing urban memory post-expo in Sydney and Brisbane

This article examines the work of ‘image construction’ and ‘memory reconstruction’ by focusing on World Expos held in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. We argue the construction of urban imaginaries through triumphal narratives induces a form of mega-event amnesia: the erasure from collective memory of communities and cultural artefacts, and the suppression of protest and resistance against these events. We then show how art can be used as a form of ‘memory reconstruction’. Two case studies offer alternative narratives in the form of public art and archival media. The first case forges new storylines that remember Aboriginal culture and language through a major public art project in the heart of Sydney. The second discusses how a digitised archival film made by feminist filmmakers spotlights decades of disregard for the destruction of Brisbane’s working-class inner-city fabric when made accessible to new audiences. These alternative narratives reconstruct the memory of the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition and Brisbane’s World Expo 88 to show how art may be used to awaken urban memories and collective remembrance. Alternative narratives also breathe new life into the complex and contested histories of mega-events. While protest and ‘the art of dissent’ have been widely discussed regarding the Olympics, few scholars have considered their relationship to World Expos. Fewer still have considered how art reconstructs and reinterprets mega-events decades after they were held.

URBAN RESONANCE: Reconsideration of Public Art and Civic Spaces in Financial Districts in the Post-COVID-19 Era

In the post-COVID era, global financial centers are facing significant transformations, challenging traditional notions of urban space. This paper critically examines the public art and urban spaces of London's Canary Wharf, exploring how new forms of public art can serve as potential avenues for enriching civic spaces within these financial districts. We argue that outstanding public art not only mirrors the dynamic evolution of the urban financial landscape but also acts as a bridge fostering communication between commerce and community.

공공미술을 둘러싼 공동체의 담론

The purpose of this paper is to show that the controversial discourse over the existence of Richard Serra's public art works, “Lifted Arc”, over the past seven years, had a profound influence on the changes in public art. Public art was divided into location and aesthetic aspects, and the cause of the failure of “Lifted Arc” was found in each of them. The cause of the locational aspect is related to the understanding of “public”, where the place of life and the physical place intersect, and the aesthetic aspect is due to the conflict between the artist's free expression and public taste. When pursuing a desirable form of public art through the above, first, publicity is not limited to physical places, but is made up of the participation and intervention of people living there, and second, the aesthetic achievement of public art can be obtained from the discourse of interaction rather than from the aesthetic experience itself. This public art as a “discussion venue” symbolizes cultural democracy that guarantees freedom and equality in that art creates a place for the pursuit of meaning.

Public Art Design Practice under Visual Communication Design

Abstract The expansion of visual communication design in public art makes the scope of visual communication wide. This new art form reflects the cross and integration of disciplines but also makes the form of public art in our life richer, and people can get more beautiful enjoyment. Research on the fractal algorithm in the escape time algorithm studied the Julia set in different function conditions of the fractal graph of the change and the function of different indices of the joint. The fractal graph obtained a colorful, more tense structure. Subsequently, it is applied to public art design, and after testing its performance, the fractal design of visual communication is combined with the IPA model to explore the practical effect of the fractal design in public art design. The results show that the improved fractal algorithm proposed in this paper increases the pattern generation rate from 61.5% to 92.6%. The fractal dimension measurement of 15 typical batik patterns shows that more than 85% of the batik patterns have an average value of more than 15000.

A Study on the Evolution of Sculpture Cultural Communication Methods and Public Art Forms Applying the Hierarchical Analysis Approach

Abstract Based on hierarchical analysis, this paper constructs a model for evaluating the effect of sculpture culture dissemination, sculpture culture dissemination mode and evolution of public art form, and for the defects of hierarchical analysis, it constructs a complementary matrix by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, and uses the scale method of 0.1-0.9 instead of 1-9 to optimize the performance of the model. This model is used to analyze the dissemination mode and dissemination driving mechanism of sculpture culture based on the model to analyze the dissemination mode and dissemination driving mechanism of sculpture culture, explore the influence of sculpture culture and cultural dissemination mode on the evolution of public art forms, and measure the mutual influence of high and low popularity sculpture culture in the dissemination process. The results show that public art forms, books, and public buildings have the highest frequency of dissemination of sculpture culture, with dissemination indexes above 0.65. Sculpture culture change has a promotion effect on art form evolution. The sculpture culture change index is 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, respectively, and the probability of the evolution of public art form when the time node is 1 is 0.58, 0.65, 0.7, 0.78, respectively. The study provides a positive reference value for the study of spreading sculpture culture and developing public art.

Public art as an artistic way of development of the architectural and urban environment

The article considers public art as an artistic direction that contributes to the restoration and development of the architectural and urban environment. The analysis of artistic forms of art of the end of the 20th century revealed the trends of multidisciplinarity and going beyond the artistic infrastructure into the public architectural and urban environment. Moreover, public art objects are actively introduced into the environment of super-large cities of Ukraine and only partially into the environment of other cities. The existence and rapid development of these objects is a sign of a modern super-large city with a developed architectural and urban environment and integration into the world cultural process. Public art is a form of contemporary art that interacts interactively with the viewer, raising questions about contemporary art and the space in which it is placed. Modern forms of public art were analyzed and four principles of public art were identified as a result of the systematization of existing information. These are the principles of interactivity, conceptuality, digitalization, creativity. Their harmonious combination helps to develop a friendly space in accordance with the individual needs of a person and to form an emotional interactive architectural and urban environment with a unique atmosphere and social messages. Such modern artistic mediums as installations, happenings and performances permeate the four formulated principles of public art, mainly focusing not on the result, but on the process of creation and the emotional component of the environment. They are mixed genres of visual art that use objects of public art or the artist's body to interact and change people's perception of public space. It should be noted that the development of media technologies has led to the creation of public art objects not only in physical, but also in virtual space, covering, in addition to land art and environment, also digital, conceptual and light art. This allows considering and developing the artificial space and public environment as a multi-level interactive open system with a developed cultural context that interacts with people in space and time.

Evoking Nostalgia: Graffiti as Medium in Urban Space

This study examines the role of graffiti as a medium in urban spaces, particularly in the context of Macau. Graffiti, seen as a form of artistic expression, has the potential to invigorate and enliven public spaces. Utilizing visual ethnography methods and analyzing cultural policies, the paper aims to examine the presence of graffiti in various neighborhoods within Macau. The concept of nostalgia also serves as a theoretical framework to understand how graffiti can evoke memories and create an emotional connection to the past. By investigating hotspots like Largo do Estaleiro, Rua de S. Tiago da Barra, and the vicinity surrounding Ruins of St. Paul’s through interviews with residents and an examination of distribution patterns, we aim to comprehend how these graffiti sites can establish a link to history and contribute to a shared memory and sense of locality. The findings of this research have important implications for urban planning and cultural policy in Macau, as they highlight the significance of incorporating graffiti as a legitimate form of public art that can contribute to the cultural identity and sense of nostalgia in urban spaces.

장소정체성 요소로서의 공공예술 활용이 문화마을의 경관요소에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

In order to identify the role of public art and landscape planning in the Regional Cultural Area as part of the cultural regeneration of the local community, this study analyzed the placeness and sense of place of these regions, focusing on the cases of Korea, China and Japan. The first analysis qualitatively analyzed the history and locality of each region. The framework of the second quantitative analysis is a correlation analysis of the cultural regeneration strategy, the function of public art, and the concept of landscape elements, and uses adjectives of landscape status with a specific generation in China, that is, millennials in their 20s and 30s as parameters. A questionnaire was conducted. As a result of the 1st and 2nd analysis, it was analyzed that each case exhibited a place-linked, place-dependent, place-dominant public art piece, and had a sense of place with mediating, experiential, and symbolic shared values. Traditional decorative public art form was the main form, but partly participation and intervention, and new genre public art form were shown. The sense of place perceived by the subjects was normally distributed with an average median value of 3 or higher on a Likert 5-point scale, and the difference was not large. However, among the landscape elements, there was a difference in systematicity, continuity, convenience, and originality, and a cross-section of the subjects' unconscious cognitive process could be confirmed.

Socio-Educational Impact of Ukraine War Murals: Jasień Railway Station Gallery

Exploring the role of public art in conveying complex socio-political messages, this article investigates the multifaceted socio-educational impact of 32 murals representing the war in Ukraine, located in Jasień Railway Station, Gdansk, Poland. Employing an interdisciplinary research approach, the study combines critical theory and visual communication methodologies to uncover the deeper messages conveyed by these thought-provoking murals. The analysis encompasses six diverse perspectives—historical, personal, ethical, cultural, technical, and critical—leading to the identification of six distinct mural categories: (1) resistance and hope, (2) family and courage, (3) suffering and death, (4) torturers and the oppressed, (5) animals, and (6) idyllic. The study underscores the significance of murals as a public art form for symbolically communicating social, cultural, and political events while introducing novel interpretations and expanding visual communication possibilities. Furthermore, this research demonstrates the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in exploring the intricate relationships between public art and the messages they convey, showcasing their capacity to shape public opinion and foster dialogue.

Resource Transformation and Promotion of Non-Foreign Heritage Flower Drum Lantern in Bengbu Public Art

At present, the current status of the dissemination and promotion of flower-drum lanterns is not optimistic, and the public is not sufficiently aware of the culture of flower-drum lanterns. Based on the concept of inheritance and development of the non-heritage Hua Gu Lantern culture, this study proposes a new art form for the field of public art by studying the application of symbolic design elements of the Hua Gu Lantern in urban public art. This project aims to explore how to protect the non-heritage Hua Gu Dang culture through the design of public art form language, so as to improve the quality of urban public space in Bengbu. It will not only show the culture of the non-heritage flower-drum lantern, but also promote and inherit the profound regional traditional culture of the Huaihe River region.

A Comparative Study of Community Dance Management Models in Australia and China—Beijing and Tasmania as an Example

Community dance is a socialized expression of urban life. Using a literature research approach, this paper compares the community dance management models in Beijing and Tasmania and finds that there are differences in the development process of community dance in the two cities: the degree of government support, the professionalization of the management organization system, and the value orientation. In addition, the study proposes suggestions for improving the management of community dance in China. The management of community dance in China can improve its management effectiveness in three ways: integrating cultural atmosphere and policy guidance resources, stimulating multiple social forces to participate in community dance, and broadening funding sources and enhancing the social power of community dance, so as to promote a more benign development of community dance as a public art form in China.

Eating Local as Public Art

In this paper, we bring together two unrelated strains of recent literature on eating local, which have respectively evidenced its socio-political and artistic values. Our argument contends that eating local can, in some instances, be regarded as a form of public art. Our study improves our understanding and appreciation of the complex web of culinary values linked to eating local, in particular the entanglement between its aesthetic, political, and cultural significance. We first review three extant definitions of eating local (§ 2), which we then employ to discuss the three specific forms of public art that eating local can occasion (§ 3), namely: memorial art, social protest art, and art that enhances. Finally, we present the links between the three approaches to local food and the three forms of public art (§ 4), providing a heuristic framework for both scholars and stakeholders.

The Use of Visual Sensing Technology and Digital Image Technology in Public Art Design

The intent of this research article is the analysis of application of digital image technology and visual sensing technology in public art design. The specific forms of public art design are studied. A series of studies on the public art form of live performance is carried out combined with the principles of advanced computer technology such as digital imaging, artificial intelligence, and visual sensing technology. An analysis method based on attention-satisfaction for the Return to the Three Gorges is put forward and some research results are obtained. The results show that the combination of live tourism performance and digital image technology creates endless possibilities for live tourism performance through technical means and artistic charm, but there are also some disadvantages. The survey results about the Return to the Three Gorges show that the proportion of tourists who choose “greatly different from expectations” and “fail to meet expectations” has reached 41.9%. And 45.3% of tourists choose the “very unwilling” and “unwilling” options in terms of willingness to revisit. It reveals that although the integration of science and technology and art has great charm, there is still much room for improvement, especially the homogenization of content and form, which needs further research.

Research on Public Art Parameterization of Interactive Installation Based on Sensor and Virtual Reality

With the progress of human society, more and more scientific and technological achievements are applied to people’s development activities, and virtual reality technology is one of them. This case is a study on the path, form, and role of virtual reality and augmented reality technology in public art design. Through combining the public art form and current situation, we put forward the problem of increasing public art creation methods through the intervention of virtual reality technology, change the display method of public art with innovative technical solutions, and explore innovative ways of public art design application. In the research process, the author carried out detailed case research, technical demonstration, and creative practice on virtual reality technology; combined and studied a lot of advanced technical means that can be applied in public art creation and display design; and explored the collaborative innovation of technology and art, the public art design methods, and application approaches in China. On the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the artistic effects that can be achieved by related software and the future directions studied by technical personnel, analyzing the demand and feasibility of the technology in the application of public art, and exploring and summarizing virtual reality technology and augmented reality technology under the background of rapid development and popularization, public art design uses these technologies to solve practical problems and promotes the process of art design innovation and publicization by means of innovative media and experience forms. It increases the importance of virtual technology in public art and changes the traditional business model of public art. Experimental results show that the public’s attention to public equipment based on sensors and virtual reality technology has increased by more than 60%, and modern technology is used to make up for the development of public art and culture. The digital sustainable development of interactive installations of public art in my country provides new ideas.
