Indra Sakti
Bandung, Indonesia.

Artist and environmentalist Indra travelled with Oxfam to remote rural communities in Java. “Indigenous people in Ciptagelar-Banten are adapting to climate change in their own way. My painting shows a rice barn (leuit) – where they save enough food to feed the community during times when their harvests are spoiled by the unpredictable climate. Villages have built three rice barns; they told me that they could survive crop failures for at least three years in succession,” Indra says.

Artists from around the world have painted canvases illustrating the human impact of climate change in their countries. Sixteen of these canvases are being exhibited at the UN Climate Negotiations in Poznan, Poland, from December 1, 2008.

NYC - Metropolitan Museum of Art: Theodor Kaufmann's On to Liberty
art to canvas
Image by wallyg
On to Liberty
1867
Theodor Kaufmann (1814-1896)
Oil on Canvas; 36 x 56 in. (91.4 x 142.2 cm)

Born in Germany, Theodor Kaufmann studied painting in Düsseldorf and Munich. After fighting in the 1848 uprisings against the German monarchy, he emigrated to the United States which represented the ideals for which he had fought--liberty, democracy and national unity. With great fervor, the artist joined the anti-slavery cause, popular among German emigres. Although he had painted religious subjects in Germany, in the United States Kaufmann switched his focus to images of liberty. In this dramatic canvas, a group of salves progresses toward the dream of freedom, symbolized by the Union lines at the right and the lightened horizon.

Gift of Erving and Joyce Wolf, 1982 (1982.443.3)

**
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.

In 2007, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked #17 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. The interior was designated in 1977.

Cool Art Colleges images

Check out these art colleges images:



Paul Dourish at Design Dialogues, Art Center College of Design
art colleges
Image by G A R N E T
Guest Curator: Garnet Hertz

This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.

As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.

Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.

October 22: Paul Dourish

Paul Dourish is a Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Anthropology. He teaches in the Informatics program and in the interdisciplinary graduate program in Arts Computation and Engineering. His primary research interests lie at the intersection of computer science and social science; he draws liberally on material from computer science, science and technology studies, cultural studies, humanities, and social sciences in order to understand information technology as a site of social and cultural production. In 2008, he was elected to the CHI Academy in recognition of his contributions to Human-Computer Interaction.

Dourish is the author of "Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction" (MIT Press, 2001), which explores how phenomenological accounts of action can provide an alternative to traditional cognitive analysis for understanding the embodied experience of interactive and computational systems. Before coming to UCI, he was a Senior Member of Research Staff in the Computer Science Laboratory of Xerox PARC; he has also held research positions at Apple Computer and at Rank Xerox EuroPARC. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University College, London, and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh.

Art and Photography by Aaron Scharf, published 1968 by Pelican Press
ISBN 0140217223

Long out of print, but still the best on this topic. I love David's Hockney's fantastically illustrated book ("Secret Knowlege") on the same subject, but Aaron Scharf makes his case with more facts and less innuendo (albeit less passion.) Scharf's central thesis is that through the symbiosis of art and photography, art was irrevocably changed, and the stage was set for post-modernism.

Ever worried whether you are producing art or some well-crafted image? Maybe this will help you in deciding where you have been heading, and perhaps what you have been sacrificing in order to achieve finer-quality images.

If you have seen the earlier versions, this one now includes the effect of tradition on your work - and the rocky area of really good art!

Moon words with a photo of a quarter moon shot through my telescope


Welcome To The Moon!
By Mark Mathosian

Copyrighted

“The moon is not robed in a smooth and polished surface but is....rough and uneven, covered everywhere, just like the earth’s surface, with huge prominences, deep valleys, and chasms.” Galileo, circa 1610

When astronomer Galileo Galilei turned his spyglass towards the heavens mankind began a systematic study of the moon. Today, the moon continues to be a favorite target for backyard astronomers. To make the most of your time at the eyepiece you should learn to recognize lunar features including the moon’s terminator, maria, terrae, craters, rilles and mountains.

Different lunar features become easier to see, more or less based upon the amount of sunlight reaching them. Too much sunlight and features are washed out, too little sunlight and details disappear. Experienced moon watchers and moon photographers know that the best detail is observed along a ragged imaginary line that separates the bright side of the moon from the dark side. This irregularly shaped line is called the terminator.

The terminator moves across the moon from east to west. Lunar features along the moon’s terminator provide a wonderful mix of topography and shadows, giving most features a three dimensional appearance. Mountains appear jagged, dried lava beds appear smooth and craters appear deep and cavernous.

The lowlands on the moon are referred to as Mare. Mare is a Latin word meaning sea and Maria, (pronounced MAR-ee-a) is the plural of mare. The moon’s lowlands are believed to be dried lava flows from erupting volcanoes during the moon’s earliest days of creation. To ancient astronomers observing the moon through crude telescopes, these flat, smooth surfaces looked like oceans or seas. Hence, the features were given names like Mare Nectarus (Sea of Nectar), Mare Serenitatis (Sea of Serenity) and Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of storms).

The lighter colored highlands, or terrae, (TER-eye) consists mainly of impact craters. Crater means cup or bowl in Greek. These bowl shaped craters are the results of millions of years of impacts by solid bodies smashing into the lunar surface at cosmic speeds. Most scientists agree that craters were caused by these collisions and by an internal process like volcanoes.

Identifying individual craters on the lunar surface can keep you busy for many a night. The largest and easiest to find are Tycho in the southern highlands, Copernicus in the west central maria and Plato in the north. A good lunar atlas will help you identify many more.

Once you become familiar with the moon’s seas and craters it is time to investigate rilles and mountains. Rilles are long, narrow winding valleys on the lunar landscape. Rilles are believed to be ancient channels where lava rivers flowed. These ancient lava channels meander for hundreds of miles over the moon’s surface gradually disappearing into the smooth mare basins. A famous rille you can see through your telescope is located near the rim of the Imbrium basin in the northwestern quadrant of the moon. Apollo 15 astronauts landed here in July, 1971 and investigated the Hadley Rille close up.

Mountain ranges on the moon are not the same as those on earth. The moon’s mountains are rims of the ancient impact craters. Many lunar mountains rise thousands of feet above the floor of their nearby craters and are as majestic as any peak here on earth. The Apennine Mountains near crater Copernicus and the nearby Montes Alpes, are favorite targets for backyard astronomers.
