Art, World, Artworld

Ancient Greek philosophers claimed that the particular task of art was mimesis. This kind of view about the relation between art and the world was dominant until the beginning of the 19th century. The theory of genius rethought this relation, and it did not presume that art needs to mirror the world. On the contrary, it expected originality, that is, the creation of a new world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the artworld operates under a wider notion of the ‘work of art’, e.g. Duchamp’s “readymade” and “institutional readymade”, which are linked to outsider art. In both cases, the creation of an object and the creation of an art piece are separate actions performed by different individuals. This paper attempts to tackle these problems and prove that the contemporary art does not relate primarily to the world, but mainly to the artworld. Thus, the path from art to the world goes through the artworld

The reinvention of the ready-made

In this paper the history of a particular type of product design is analyzed, compared and\ud structured. The analyzed products are all of the type where existing objects are used or even incorporated\ud into the design. This principle is known in the art world as the ready-made. In this research\ud transformational- and composed ready-mades and several variations are described. The design principle\ud of using existing objects in designs is then compared with the relation between novelty and typicality as\ud predictors of aesthetic preference, as researched by Hekkert et al. From there it is argued that the readymade\ud principle could possibly contribute to designing pleasurable products because the resulting objects\ud incorporate both novelty and typicality in their presenc

Are Fairy Tales Identical?: Structural Analysis of Fairy Tales and Their Modern Versions

This dissertation deals with the structural comparative analysis of various traditional fairy tales and their correspondent modern versions. The analysis is based on Vladimir Propp’s thirty-one functions theory developed in his work Morphology of the Folktale (2010). The overall purpose of this dissertation is to determine the accuracy of his theory by carrying out a structural comparative analysis of the traditional tales: “Snow White”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Puss In Boots” and “Beauty and The Beast”. Moreover, we will analyze their modern versions: “The Courtship of Mr. Lyon”, “The Tiger’s Bride”, “Puss-In-Boots”, “Snow Child”, “The Werewolf” and “The Company of Wolves”. After the analysis we will discuss the results obtained; the tales contained in both works are going to be compared, and finally we will reach a conclusion where the applicability of Propp’s theory in these tales will be accepted or refused.Este trabajo es un análisis comparativo de cuentos de hadas tradicionales y de sus versiones modernas. Realizaremos el análisis utilizando la teoría de las treinta y una funciones de Vladimir Propp, incluida en su libro Morphology of the Folktale (2010). El objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar la veracidad de esta teoría a través del análisis comparativo de las estructura de los cuentos: “Blancanieves”, “Caperucita Roja”, “El Gato con Botas” y “La Bella y La Bestia”. Y después analizaremos sus versiones modernas: “El Cortejo del Señor León”, “La Novia del Tigre”, “El Gato con Botas”, “La Niña de Nieve”, “El Hombre Lobo” y “La Compañía de Lobos”. Después expondremos los resultados obtenidos del análisis, se compararán los cuentos de las dos obras y finalmente concluiremos el trabajo confirmando o negando si la teoría de Propp puede describir estos cuentos.Departamento de Filología InglesaGrado en Estudios Inglese

Interactive Art To Go

Traditional artworks like paintings, photographs, or films can be reproduced by conventional media like printing or video. This makes visitors of museums possible to purchase postcards, posters, books, and DVDs of pictures and/or movies shown at the exhibition. However, newly developing arts so called interactive art, or new media art, has not been able to be reproduced due to limitation of functionalities of the conventional media. In this article, the authors report a novel approach of sharing such interactive art outside the exhibition, so that the visitors of the museum can take a copy to home, and even share it with non-visitors. The authors build up their new projector-and-camera (ProCam) based interactive artwork for exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) by using Apple's iPhone. The exactly same software driving this artwork was downloadable from Apple's App Store -- thus all visitors or even non-visitors could enjoy the same experience at home or wherever they like
