mar 22 notes and leads

Notes

art-as-revealer of
-personal imagination (classic view, e.g., Michelangelo "freeing" marble)
-science (Edgerton, Sand Etching, Protrude Flow)
- interpersonal relationships (Snibbe’s Boundary Function)

solo versus collaborations in art+tech work
- who does programming?
- painter model versus filmmaking model

more on art in context of artist
- does performing nonstop have an affect (Orlan)?
- showing work together (Paik’s magnet with his Bhudda TV?)
- knowing one work is earlier than the rest (Fiengold’s Head)?

role of self-promotion/hype
- more good or harm? (outrageous claims e.g., "cured fear of death")
- did Picasso hype everyone? only selected few?

VR as expanded painting versus realtime interaction
- Ephemere and Habitat

art in earlier contexts
- difficulty interpreting meaning (e.g., dead man next to bison)
- did cave paintings look real (like Lumiere’s film of oncoming train)?

Leads

Guess what kids, we have 48 entries!(Actually I think some are missing.) Please take a look at them here and look for both obvious omissions (Leonardo, etc.) and obscure gems.
