based artists Lyn Blumenthal and Kate Horsfield began videotaping informal interviews with women artists. In the years that followed, as both Blumenthal and Horsfield completed MFA degrees at the School of the Art Institute and established the Video Data Bank (VDB) there in 1976, the two continued to collaboratively videotape interviews, formalizing the interview series under the name On Art an...

When viewing a painting, artists perceive more information from the painting on the basis of their experience and knowledge than art novices do. This difference can be reflected in eye scan paths during viewing of paintings. Distributions of scan paths of artists are different from those of novices even when the paintings contain no figurative object (i.e. abstract paintings). There are two pos...

There is, it could be argued, an enormous symbolic capital invested in the belief that it is artistic practice that informs the pedagogy of artists who teach. Despite the apparent tendency for artists to reproduce stylistic character in their students and apprentices, this paper argues that the instructional relations between student and artist teacher are driven by art educational convention r...

This essay is an initial study that examines selected contemporary video artworks addressing identity and representation by Italian women artists. The author shows how these artists seek to avoid the objectification sanitisation of traditional iconographies involving in patriarchal Catholic systems. Selected works Elisabetta Di Sopra, Francesca Fini, Mariateresa Sartori are discussed comparing ...

Tracks of small animals are important in environmental surveillance, where pattern recognition algorithms allow species identification of the individuals creating tracks. These individuals can also be seen as artists, presented in their natural environments with a canvas upon which they can make prints. We present tracks of small mammals and reptiles which have been collected for identification...

There is a wide variety of work being done by artists working both in conventional genres such as Music, Dance and Theatre as well as newly emergent hybrid and innovative forms such as real-time animation and physically distributed and telematic performance. I want to build up a picture both of what technical resources artists are employing – and to what effect technology is being used; what th...

Copy Summary: Repetitions that are distributed over time benefit long‐term retention more than when massed. Recent research has suggested that the advantage of spacing may extend to induction learning–learners were better able to identify the artists of previously unseen paintings when, during training, artists’ paintings were spaced (paintings by different artists were interleaved) rather than...
