USING TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES OF VISUAL ART IN THE ACTING SPACE

The purpose of the article is to investigate the problem of the methodology of using technical opportunities of visual art in the process of creating staged entertainment events. The concepts of «visual art», «technique» and «technology», «interactivity», etc. are clarified; the specificity of three-dimensional videomapping and video installations as areas of contemporary art are studied. The research methodology consisted in the application of the following general scientific and specific scientific methods: analytical – in the analysis of philosophical, art critical and culturological literature on the subject under research; historical – to determine the stages of formation of the areas of video art as an artistic phenomenon; theoretical – to define the general nature of visual art and its specifics in the field of performing arts; comparative-typological – to reveal commom and distinctive features of performing and visual arts as types of art; conceptual – in the process of analyzing and characterizing the conceptual-terminological system of the research. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the first attempt to consider the problems of using interactive media technology in the process of creating staged entertainment events and the corresponding problems of its practical implementation in the acting space. Conclusions. It was proved that using the technical component of video art in the acting space provides it with special visual appeal and interactivity. The task of using such visualization is to provide motionless reality with motion and dynamics with special imagery. Today, there are examples of stage shows which are fully organized using figurative-expressive means of visual art and do not use the main means of expression of the performing arts – acting (actor’s performance). In the acting space, visual installations can serve as an object, sculpture, or stage setting

Technology in Work of Art and the Creative Process Structuring

The purpose of the article is to clarify the unique role of technology in creating a work of art and creative process structuring. The research methodology is based on applying analytical, theoretical and conceptual research methods for ‘technology’ term to structure the artistic process in the cultural development of humankind. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical comprehension of the concept of technology as a creative method. The article reveals the formative role of technology in elucidating the style and genre of a work of art. Conclusions. The actual understanding of technology lies in the synthesis of mathematical, natural sciences and cultural achievements, which is applied wherever it is about the progress of humankind. The article proves that technology is a method of artistic work — it determines the specificity of work from a practical point of view. Therefore, during the cultural development of humankind, there is a step-by-step technological improvement of art. It was revealed that technical and technological differences affect the formation of various types and directions of art and lead to the formation of various genres and their differentiation, as well as the classification of genre and stylistic diversity. The use of a certain technique in creativity forms an artistic style. It has been established that the artistic style is a static imprint of the production technique and technology in a work of art. The concept of an artistic style is inseparable from the technology of structuring the creative process. It has been determined that the specificity of the technology is determined by the consumable material. In particular, according to this, the names of painting techniques often coincide with consumables. It is noticed that in the art of sculpture, the formative role of technology in artistic production is also traced

Non-Verbal Communication Means in the Contemporary Art

The relevance of this work is due to the significant spread of various concepts on the basic ways of generating diverse, modern shows of the entertainment genre with a wide range of non-verbal means of communication. Non-verbal communication means serve as mediators in art but due to the fact that in contemporary art, the communication between the audience and the author is not sufficiently arranged, there are gaps in the information message perceiving. The authors aimed to study the communication barriers related to non-verbal communication means, as well as to find the solutions for the problems that arise in this context. The following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, comparison, descriptive method, method of abstraction. Trends in cooperation developing between the authors and the subjects of receiving information were identified. The psychological and social researches’ data on the different signals impact on the information receiving efficiency were analyzed. Features and characteristics of the non-verbal communication means, their relationships, similarities and differences were identified. As a result of the research, the basic concepts of creating a show in the XXI century with the involvement of non-verbal communication, their effectiveness in the development of the industry at this stage, as well as possible directions for future development were described
