Book Description
Bringing together cultural history, visual studies, and media archaeology, Bruno considers the interrelations of projection, atmosphere, and environment. Projection has long been transforming space, from shadow plays to camera obscuras and magic lantern shows. Our fascination with projection is alive on the walls of museums and galleries and woven into our daily lives. Giuliana Bruno explores the histories of projection and atmosphere in visual culture and their continued importance to contemporary artists who are reinventing the projective imagination with atmospheric thinking and the use of elemental media. To explain our fascination with projection and atmosphere, Bruno traverses psychoanalysis, environmental philosophy, architecture, the history of science, visual art, and moving image culture to see how projective mechanisms and their environments have developed over time. She reveals how atmosphere is formed and mediated, how it can change, and what projection can do to modify a site. In so doing, she gives new life to the alchemic possibilities of transformative projective atmospheres. Showing how their “environmentality” produces sites of exchange and relationality, this book binds art to the ecology of atmosphere.

Book Description
"Following on the success of Surface, Bruno's previous book with us, in this new one she explores the act and art of "projection" in its manifold guises and what those can tell us about how we think and feel and create the world we inhabit. This is not just an exploration of the psychological operation of "projection"-the idea that we cast onto others the qualities we refuse to acknowledge in ourselves. It is a major work of cultural history and media archaeology. As a way to transform space and atmosphere, projection has a long history in the arts, dating back to shadow plays, camera obscuras, magic lantern shows, and phantasmagoria. But the atmosphere of projection is not a thing of the past alone. It is alive and well today. It continues to fascinate us as screens filled with moving figures pervade the spaces of the art gallery and the museum as well as the environments of our daily lives. What is the root of our fascination? How does it manifest in contemporary art? How do we define atmosphere? How is projection an atmosphere? Are these two modalities conceptually and historically related, and how so? Why are artists today so interested in environments and in elements of projection? To explain this continual fascination with projection and atmosphere, Bruno traverses psychoanalysis, architecture, the history of science, visual art, and moving image culture to see how projective mechanisms and their environments have developed over time"--

Atlas of Emotion
Author: Giuliana Bruno
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 178663323X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 1133
Book Description
Atlas of Emotion is a highly original endeavour to map a cultural history of spatio-visual arts. In an evocative montage of words and pictures, emphasises that "sight" and "site" but also "motion" and "emotion" are irrevocably connected. In so doing, Giuliana Bruno touches on the art of Gerhard Richter and Annette Message, the film making of Peter Greenaway and Michelangelo Antonioni, the origins of the movie palace and its precursors, and her own journeys to her native Naples. Visually luscious and daring in conception, Bruno opens new vistas and understandings at every turn.

Surface

Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022611483X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
What is the place of materiality—the expression or condition of physical substance—in our visual age of rapidly changing materials and media? How is it fashioned in the arts or manifested in virtual forms? In Surface, cultural critic and theorist Giuliana Bruno deftly explores these questions, seeking to understand materiality in the contemporary world. Arguing that materiality is not a question of the materials themselves but rather the substance of material relations, Bruno investigates the space of those relations, examining how they appear on the surface of different media—on film and video screens, in gallery installations, or on the skins of buildings and people. The object of visual studies, she contends, goes well beyond the image and engages the surface as a place of contact between people and art objects. As Bruno threads through these surface encounters, she unveils the fabrics of the visual—the textural qualities of works of art, whether manifested on canvas, wall, or screen. Illuminating the modern surface condition, she notes how façades are becoming virtual screens and the art of projection is reinvented on gallery walls. She traverses the light spaces of artists Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Tacita Dean, and Anthony McCall; touches on the textured surfaces of Isaac Julien’s and Wong Kar-wai’s filmic screens; and travels across the surface materiality in the architectural practices of Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Herzog & de Meuron to the art of Doris Salcedo and Rachel Whiteread, where the surface tension of media becomes concrete. In performing these critical operations on the surface, she articulates it as a site in which different forms of mediation, memory, and transformation can take place. Surveying object relations across art, architecture, fashion, design, film, and new media, Surface is a magisterial account of contemporary visual culture.

Kinetic Atmospheres
Author: Johannes Birringer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000476472
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This book offers a sustained and deeply experiential pragmatic study of performance environments, here defined at unstable, emerging, and multisensational atmospheres, open to interactions and travels in augmented virtualities. Birringer’s writings challenge common assumptions about embodiment and the digital, exploring and refining artistic research into physical movement behavior, gesture, sensing perception, cognition, and trans-sensory hallucination. If landscapes are autobiographical, and atmospheres prompt us to enter blurred lines of a "forest knowledge," where light, shade, and darkness entangle us in foraging mediations of contaminated diversity, then such sensitization to elemental environments requires a focus on processual interaction. Provocative chapters probe various types of performance scenarios and immersive architectures of the real and the virtual. They break new ground in analyzing an extended choreographic – the building of hypersensorial scenographies that include a range of materialities as well as bodily and metabodily presences. Foregrounding his notion of kinetic atmospheres, the author intimates a technosomatic theory of dance, performance, and ritual processes, while engaging in a vivid cross-cultural dialogue with some of the leading digital and theatrical artists worldwide. This poetic meditation will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre, performing arts as well as media arts practitioners, composers, programmers, and designers.

Atmospheres and Shared Emotions
Author: Dylan Trigg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000478742
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book explores the role atmospheres play in shared emotion. With insights from leading scholars in the field, Atmospheres and Shared Emotions investigates key issues such as the relation between atmospheres and moods, how atmospheres define psychopathological conditions such as anxiety and schizophrenia, what role atmospheres play in producing shared aesthetic experiences, and the significance of atmospheres in political events. Calling upon disciplinary methodologies as broad as phenomenology, film studies, and law, each of the chapters is thematically connected by a rigorous attention on the multifaceted ways atmosphere play an important role in the development of shared emotion. While the concept of atmosphere has become a critical notion across several disciplines, the relationship between atmospheres and shared emotion remains neglected. The idea of sharing emotion over a particular event is rife within contemporary society. From Brexit to Trump to Covid-19, emotions are not only experienced individually, they are also grasped together. Proceeding from the view that atmospheres can play an explanatory role in accounting for shared emotion, the book promises to make an enduring contribution to both the understanding of atmospheres and to issues in the philosophy of emotion more broadly. Offering both a nuanced analysis of key terms in contemporary debates as well as a series of original studies, the book will be a vital resource for scholars in contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, human geography, and political science.

The Sociology of Space
Author: Martina Löw
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349695688
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In this book, the author develops a relational concept of space that encompasses social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world. Löw’s guiding principle is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay between objects, structures and actions. Based on a critical discussion of classic theories of space, Löw develops a new dynamic theory of space that accounts for the relational context in which space is constituted. This innovative view on the interdependency of material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space also permits a new perspective on architecture and urban development.

Atmospheres and the Experiential World
Author: Shanti Sumartojo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315281236
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
We live in atmospheres, we talk about them and we move through them. They offer us an important route into comprehending several aspects of human life and experience, what is important to people, the environments life is played out in, and the processes of change and possible futures. Atmospheres are an ephemeral yet inescapable element of our everyday experiential and conceptual environments. They are continually beyond our grasp as they undergo constant transformation. By interrogating atmospheres, this book arrives at new ways of thinking about the relationships between people, space, time and events. Atmospheres and the Experiential World explores the ways we engage with these affective modes, and the possibilities they offer for researchers, designers and policy-makers to make and intervene in the world. Chapters propose an approach to atmospheres that is not fixed to certain forms or boundaries. Instead, this book argues that atmospheres should be conceptualised as dynamic and changing configurations that allow analytical insight into a range of topics when we think in, about and through them. This book offers scholars, designers and creative practitioners, professionals and students a research-based way of understanding and intervening in atmospheres.

Transmedium
Author: Garrett Stewart
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022650090X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Mediums: in the art world we never stop talking about them, and I don't mean the kind of mediums in the turbans and staring into crystal balls. The main agenda of modernist art (at least as Clement Greenberg saw it) was for a painting or sculpture to examine the limits of the medium in which it is rendered. But that's just the beginning: there is mixed media and there are experimental media, and digital media, and post-media, and mediality, and new media. What Garrett Stewart is writing about is a project by contemporary artists that brings two or more mediums together in an effort to stage something entirely new: not a new medium, but a kind of relationship between mediums, where artists create an object or event that overtly crosses/traverses media without resolving them. It's this transition that is the actual object of the work. Examples: Anthony McCall's light sculptures: cones of projected light that pierce and illuminate a dark space; Matt Saunder's process that draws upon painting, photography, and film to stage battles between them. Paul Sietsema's confrontations between paint, paint brushes, hammers, photographs and printmaking. This book is as current as it gets on contemporary media-driven practice. It will be of interest to artists, critics, art historians, art students, collectors and dealers.
