Book Description
ENGLISH: The photographic art project documented in this photo book was shot by the artist Werner Kiera with an iPhone in the space of more than two years. Working from his home town of Bonn/Germany, he photographed all over the world via webcams using Live Cam apps. The 150 photos contained in this album were all shot in black and white and mostly at night. They are not the "razor sharp" and somehow "polished" images we have become accustomed to but rather deliberately faded and slightly out-of-focus photos which almost come across as "photographic painting", the charm of which is reminiscent of old-fashioned negative photos shot with high and ultra sensitive "grainy" film, such as Tri-X or TMax, where the grain is a stylistic device. In doing so, Kiera revived in his work a process dating back to the days of analog photography known as the sandwich technique, where two different negatives are placed on top of each other and exposed. Transferred over to his project, Kiera takes a photo that he shot via a webcam in Tokyo, for instance, and uses the sandwich technique to combine it digitally with a photo he took in Rio de Janeiro. In a way, it could be said that "universal" images are created using this technique. All of the further processing is then done on the iPhone. This unique art project is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. --------------------------- DEUTSCH: Das in diesem Fotobuch dokumentierte Fotokunstprojekt, an dem der Künstler Werner Kiera über zwei Jahre gearbeitet hat, ist mit dem iPhone entstanden. Hierbei wurde von seiner Heimatstadt Bonn via LiveCamApps in der ganzen Welt über WebCams fotografiert. Die in dem vorliegenden Fotobuch abgebildeten 150 Bilder sind alle Schwarzweiß-Fotos, zumeist bei Nacht fotografiert und nicht wie heutzutage üblich "knackig scharf" und "digital poliert", sondern bewusst verwaschen und eher unscharf und wirken fast schon wie "Fotografische Malerei", deren Anmutung an tradierte Negativ-Aufnahmen von hoch- und höchstempfindlichen, "körnigen" Filmen wie Tri-X oder TMax erinnert und bei denen das Filmkorn ein prägendes Stilmittel ist. Dabei hat Kiera in seiner Arbeit ein Verfahren aus analogen Zeiten wiederbelebt, welches unter dem Begriff Sandwichtechnik bekannt ist. Hierbei wurden zwei unterschiedliche Negative übereinander gelegt und belichtet. Auf sein Projekt übertragen nimmt Kiera beispielsweise ein Foto, welches er in Tokyo über eine dortige WebCam fotografiert hat, und kombiniert es in besagter Sandwich-Technik digital mit einem Foto, welches er z.B. in Rio de Janeiro aufgenommen hat. So entstehen in gewisser Weise "universelle Bilder." Die weitere Nachbearbeitung erfolgt komplett im iPhone. Dieses weltweit einzigartige Kunstprojekt ist zudem das Erste seiner Art.

Book Description
THE SEQUEL TO THE MULTI-MILLION BESTSELLER DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN From the author of the world's most popular drawing instruction manual Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this new book helps you discover a new way of drawing and problem solving. Betty Edwards reveals the role our dominant eye plays in how we perceive, create, and are seen by those around us. Research shows that much like being right-handed or left-handed, each of us has a dominant eye, corresponding to the dominant side of our brain - either verbal or perceptual. Once you learn the difference and try your hand at the simple drawing exercises, you'll gain fresh insights into how you perceive, think, and create. You'll learn how to not just look but truly see. Generously illustrated throughout, Drawing on the Dominant Eye offers a remarkable guided tour through art history, psychology, and the creative process; a must-read for anyone looking for a richer understanding of our art, our minds, and ourselves. Praise for Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: 'Hands down the best and most life-enhancing thing I've done in lockdown' India Knight 'A guide to enhancing creativity and artistic confidence' Independent

The Artist's Eyes
Author: Michael Marmor
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This title presents a celebration of vision, of art and of the relationship between the two. Artists see the world in physical terms as we all do. However, they may be more perceptive than most in interpreting the complexity of how and what they see. In this fascinating juxtaposition of science and art history, ophthalmologists Michael Marmor and James G. Ravin examine the role of vision and eye disease in art. They focus on the eye, where the process of vision originates and investigate how aspects of vision have inspired - and confounded - many of the world's most famous artists. Why do Georges Seurat's paintings appear to shimmer? How come the eyes in certain portraits seem to follow you around the room? Are the broad brushstrokes in Monet's Water Lilies due to cataracts? Could van Gogh's magnificent yellows be a result of drugs? How does eye disease affect the artistic process? Or does it at all? "The Artist's Eyes" considers these questions and more. It is a testament to the triumph of artistic talent over human vulnerability and a tribute to the paintings that define eras, the artists who made them and the eyes through which all of us experience art.

The New Experience of the Supersensible
Author: Jesaiah Ben-Aharon
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 9781902636849
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
According to Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science, the greatest spiritual event of our time is the renewal and reawakening of our human suprasensory relationship to the higher spiritual worlds. The force that leads to this development--called by various names in different cultural and religious traditions--is called the "Christ impulse" by Anthroposophy, in accordance with Christian terminology. Because of new, naturally endowed suprasensory faculties, human beings are increasingly able to experience and perceive, through an act of grace, the great spiritual force of the Christ impulse. This experience is said to be a naturally given initiation, and today we increasingly hear of such suprasensory experiences. Today, however, a healthy approach to these "natural" phenomena requires us to comprehend suprasensory experiences with full awareness and clear thinking. This book builds an all-important bridge between the naturally given suprasensory experience and its conscious cognition. As a result, empirical suprasensory research "can investigate the different aspects of Christ's etheric becoming and appearance in a way that, both methodically and experientially, fulfils the justified cognitive and scientific requirements of our age." This new paperback edition adds a new introductory chapter.

The Beats
Author: Nancy Grace
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1949979962
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
'[This] survey of the many little magazines carrying the Beat message is impressive in its coverage, drawing attention to the importance of their paratextual content in providing valuable socio-political context. [...] The collection contains a range of insightful close readings, astute contextualizing, and inventive lateral pedagogical thinking, charting the transformation of the Beat scene from its free-wheeling, self-help, heady revolutionary 1960’s days to its contemporary position as an increasingly respectable component of the curriculum. [...] The Beats: A Teaching Companion is successful on a number of levels; it is a noteworthy contribution to the ever expanding field of Beat studies and, more broadly, cultural studies; and it is a collection that at its best gives hope that in referring to its ideas the inspired teacher may still be able to enlarge the lives of their students.'

Movie Journal
Author: Jonas Mekas
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231541589
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
In his Village Voice "Movie Journal" columns, Jonas Mekas captured the makings of an exciting movement in 1960s American filmmaking. Works by Andy Warhol, Gregory J. Markapoulos, Stan Brakhage, Jack Smith, Robert Breer, and others echoed experiments already underway elsewhere, yet they belonged to a nascent tradition that only a true visionary could identify. Mekas incorporated the most essential characteristics of these films into a unique conception of American filmmaking's next phase. He simplified complex aesthetic strategies for unfamiliar audiences and appreciated the subversive genius of films that many dismissed as trash. This new edition presents Mekas's original critiques in full, with additional material on the filmmakers, film studies scholars, and popular and avant-garde critics whom he inspired and transformed.
