Critical Fragments: Autonomy
2009-09-10 22:26:00 ?Instead of assuming responsibility for culture in concert with the producers of culture, the state and its political functionaries, citing a strained culture budget, have delegated that responsibility to an antiquated patronage system (which, to make things worse, is often confused with sponsoring). Offensive or aggressive art-sponsoring campaigns, which bring tax benefits, offer a cost-effective means of exploiting artistic production to which many institutions and artists now find themselves compelled to resort. [?] My concern relates rather to the fact that we need to identify the circumstances that surround this situation and to make the complex relationships involved transparent to students engaged in art studies, in order to encourage reflection about the circumstances in which we operate under the influence of such developments.?(1)Artistic autonomy, hard-won since the nineteenth century, has undergone continual erosion in recent years. With the advent of these art-sponsor...

Gerald Moreno?s Attacks On Individuals and Institutions Critical of Sathya

The constant welter of the latter's constant, strident, vituperative and demeaning posts to the Internet can, even at a quick glance, be gauged by the titles of but a small portion of his links, which, for convenience, are posted here: Partial List of Gerald Moreno's Vast Postings Contra Sathya Sai Baba Critics.

Critical Fragments: Documentation
2009-06-30 17:37:00 ?Since the mid-1960s, conceptual artists have denied any interest in photography per se. To hear the artists tell it, photography was only useful or interesting to them insofar as it was instrumental in conveying or recording their ideas. Time and again artists describe the photographs themselves as either brute information or uninflected documentation.?(1)As ironic as it was necessary, the photographic archiving of conceptual art provides a test case for documentation as a separate and relevant critical issue. When conceptual artists began to consider what it is that artists do, their consequential investigations lead to exercises in information theory and epistemology, measurements and statistics, actions and situations. All this knowledge produced ?documents? that embodied the art but not the ?art? itself. This premise would become a conceptual dictum of such pervasive and evidentiary power that few academic overviews of conceptual art do much more than re-state this mantra of ?...

Critical Fragments: Anonymity
2009-06-20 16:37:00 ?In all respects the traditional artist devotes himself to the good of the work to be done. The operation is a rite, the celebrant neither intentionally nor even consciously expressing himself ? [W]orks of traditional art, whether Christian, Oriental or folk art, are hardly ever signed: the artist is anonymous, or if a name has survived, we know little or nothing of the man. This is true as much for literary as for plastic artifacts. In traditional arts it is never Who said? but only What was said??(1)The necessity of establishing a relationship between an artist and artwork became significantly more focused when paintings became portable. The advent of easel painting signaled the beginning of artworks traded as a commodity that was readily identifiable with an artist. Thus, the identification of individual artists with an artwork recognizable by a subjective style helped solidify the ready exchange of paintings.Clearly the seduction of fame stoked the exchange value of art.

Critical Fragments: Content
2009-06-11 18:51:00 ?The seemingly strict separation of the photographic series ? buildings not people, or individuals in private not public spaces ? thus belies [Thomas] Struth?s larger project of separation. By dissociating the various elements of knowledge produced within each archive and reassociating them in a newly formed complex matrix structure, Struth?s matrix multiplies the important piece of information within each image. Multiplied, those bits of information that had once been used to define the subject of the archive can now be reassembled and contradicted to form other constructs of knowledge. This process of reassociation exposes the inseparability of these constructs both within and between images and archives, questioning the archival categories themselves. [?] Acted out by the museum and defined and depicted by these photographs are the operations of archive construction and collecting themselves, and with them, the complex mechanisms behind the construction of knowledge, boundarie...

The Rise of Critical Animal Studies: Putting Theory into Action and Animal
2009-05-30 20:30:00 By Steven Best[2]5/27/09Simulposted with ICAS?The capacity to contain and manipulate subversive imagination is an integral part of the given society.? Herbert MarcuseIn the last three decades, animal studies has experienced an exponential growth rate in the academy. The ?animal turn? in academic research has moved throughout humanities, the fine arts, and social sciences; it has crossed into fields such as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, political science, sociology; and it has made its mark in literature, history, cultural and critical studies and the arts, geography, philosophy, feminism, and queer theory. Currently, there are at least 40 courses being offered in departments that span these disciplines in universities and colleges in North America, the UK and New Zealand. The turn is manifest in an explosion of articles, books, conferences, and academic programs opening up from Canada to New Zealand.Without question, these trends will continue and animal studies will evolve ...
Critical Fragments: Style
2009-05-27 20:18:00 ?In every work of art, style is a promise. In being absorbed through style into the dominant form of universality, into the current musical, pictorial, or verbal idiom, what is expressed seeks to be reconciled with the idea of the true universal. This promise of the work of art to create truth by impressing its unique contours on the socially transmitted forms is as necessary as it is hypocritical. By claiming to anticipate fulfillment through their aesthetic derivatives, it posits the real forms of the existing order as absolute. To this extent the claims of art are always also ideology. Yet it is only in its struggle with tradition, a struggle precipitated in style, that art can find expression for suffering. The moment in the work of art by which it transcends reality cannot, indeed, be severed from style; that moment, however, does not consist in achieved harmony, in the questionable unity of form and content, inner and outer, individual and society, but in those traits in...

Apache ODE is Reaching Critical Mass
2009-02-13 15:01:00 The Apache ODE project lead by Intalio is reaching critical mass, more recently with its integration by WSO2. While many more vendors are considering using Apache ODE for adding BPEL support to their products, others do not seem too happy about this momentum, among them Alex Neihaus from Active Endpoints, who is claiming that WSO2's Carbon BPM isn't a product. I'm not a big fan of vendor bashing, and I certainly do not want to take any part in this silly fight, but I'm happy to answer Alex's list of 10 reasons that make Apache ODE (or WSO2 Business Process Server, same codebase) not a BPM product. If you want BPM based on the best BPEL engine around (ODE), Intalio has it in store, and we're open for business? 10. No worklist support Intalio's Tempo project does that, and it's available under the Eclipse Public License.

Is technology producing a decline in critical thinking and analysis?
2009-02-09 03:14:00 Patricia GreenfieldStudies shed light on multi-tasking, video games and learningAs technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research by Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles.Learners have changed as a result of their exposure to technology, says Greenfield, who analyzed more than 50 studies on learning and technology, including research on multi-tasking and the use of computers, the Internet and video games. Her research was published this month in the journal Science.Reading for pleasure, which has declined among young people in recent decades, enhances thinking and engages the imagination in a way that visual media such as video games and television do not, Greenfield said.How much should schools use new media, versus older techniques such as reading and classroom discuss...

7 Critical Aspects of a Fantastic Logo Design

That is the greatest challenge ? to be able to create a winning impact within the space constraints. Here are the 7 factors you need to consider to have a logo that spells success! 1. Research always helps in effective logo design Never make the mistake of rushing into creating a logo design. It will only make matters bad. You need to do a fair bit of research to understand the company, its objectives and mission as well as its business goals ? both short and long term. You also need to know the demographics of the target audience. 2. Attractive and unique: two elements of great logo design You would obviously want your logo design to catch the attention of the customer. At the same time it should not be screaming for attention. It should test the intellect of the customer; make him or her think a few minutes after se...

Critical Hierarchy
2008-09-28 04:51:00 There exists a hierarchy of critical theory in reference to contemporary art; a paradigm of critique, if you will, that once established on a particular artist and their work marshals further consideration and new analyses on the work. Comprehension of much contemporary art is distinctly fragile because of the hermeneutics of critique and it becomes particularly difficult when essayists overlook previous critical views. Not to say that a critic cannot ignore these previous critical assessments, but when such nuanced ?readings? of an artist are laced throughout the Web it becomes apparent that these views may have been omitted not as result of ignorance but possibly in avoidance of critical hierarchy itself.Rigorously researched critiques on contemporary artists abound in print and electronic media. Moreover, new interpretive views on an artist run the risk of abrupt dismissal or even worse become immediately obsolete if they exhibit such critical omissions, and this is all very tr...

Moll enters critical season
2008-06-10 05:55:00 It's put up or shut up time for offensive lineman Tony Moll.Not unlike the situation faced by Green Bay Packers cornerback Jarrett Bush, Moll must prove his worth and fast to preserve his spot on the 53 man roster.The third year pro entered the NFL as a 5th round draft choice in 2006 and went on to start 10 games as a rookie. It was a promising start to a career.Unfortunately, injuries derailed his sophomore season. Back problems forced Moll into a backup role that rarely had him see the field.Now that the Packers have drafted two offensive linemen in the 2008 draft, Moll faces an even bigger battle than he had entering the offseason. Both rookies Breno Giacomini and Josh Sitton look to spend most of their time on the right side of the offensive line where Moll has spent most of his time.Perhaps the good news for Moll is that both Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, who have been the Packers' bookend tackles for the better part of a decade, will be close to retirement soon. Even so, t...

What is The critical Illness Insurance
2008-06-02 17:00:00 When you are young fit and healthy, it is hard to plan for the day when that might not be the situation; critical illness insurance might be required someday so is planning for this really strange? This is a case of providing the essentials of living in today’s world for your loved ones in the event of your untimely death. After many years of medical studies it is apparent the chances of a person contracting a critical illness during their life is quite high so insurance providers now handle policies like this every day. These studies make for somber reading when you consider around one in five men will contract one of these conditions before they reach retirement age. The studies only provide women with a little better chance with one in six having serious health problems by the time they stop work. Insurance companies are of the opinion that because people do not believe it will happen to them or there is general ignorance about the subject that these could be the reasons wh...
