Abstract:

Since the earliest of times, humans have been interested in recording their life experiences, for future reference and for storytelling purposes. This task of recording experiences --i.e., both image and video capture-- has never before in history been as easy as it is today. This is creating a digital information overload that is becoming a great concern for the people that are trying to preserve their life experiences. As high-resolution digital still and video cameras become increasingly pervasive, unprecedented amounts of multimedia, are being downloaded to personal hard drives, and als

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the escalation of interest in the senses, across a range of media technological contexts, dating from the mid 1990s. Much of this discourse has focussed on the experiential, particularly intense, multisensory experience of the present. As there are numerous discourses on the senses, technology and affect individually, my concern is to examine some of the intersections between these, in order to reconsider the contemporary significance of aesthetics in media contexts. I develop a ‘hyper/aesthetic’ approach to try to think about aesthetic relations with technology in a nuan

Abstract:

The miscommunication between sender and receiver during transcoding indexes specific historical moments similarly to analog film's indexical trace. Iconography and glitch art begin to establish glitch's deictic index. The glitch aesthetic exposes societal paranoia by illustrating dependence on the digital and fear of system failure. With the advent of video sharing sites like Youtube and popular cyberfilms, the glitch aesthetic has evolved into a pop culture artifact.

Abstract:

This practice-based thesis undertakes research into the contemporary aesthetic of interactive media art, in order to propose a useful practical model of interactivity founded on a critical approach to both existing theory and practice. It proceeds from the identification of a primary lack in contemporary aesthetics that arises from the predominantly materialistic comprehension of technologically-mediated artworks. The thesis establishes a new model for interactive art that offers an immaterial engagement with technology at a locus where cognition and the aesthetic intertwine. This model is con

Abstract:

Defining aesthetic choices for interactive digital media such as games is a challenging task. Objective and subjective factors such as colour, symmetry, order and complexity, and statistical features among others play an important role for defining the aesthetic properties of interactive digital artifacts. Computational approaches developed in this regard also consider objective factors such as statistical image features for the assessment of aesthetic qualities. However, aesthetics for interactive digital media, such as games, requires more nuanced consideration than simple objective and subj

This thesis introduces the critical methodology ‘networked spectrality’ to theorise depictions of new media hauntings. Ghost stories often include the latest technologies to establish the realistic setting, but technological advance also affords new opportunities to depict ghost stories.

I use networked spectrality to theorise depictions of ghosts and hauntings in recent films, televisi

While the sublime aesthetic has a long and complex critical history, it is nonetheless a schizophrenic concept. Indeed, in the over two thousand years since the sublime became a subject of learned inquiry, it has not been resolved into any one concrete idea, but has become, rather, an expansive tapestry of disparate if interconnected theoretical threads from which aestheticians may pick and choose to define what they mean by the term "sublime." Kant postulates one sort of sublime, Burke another, and Lyotard, Zizek, and the Romantics still others. In this way, the contemporary sublime aesthe

Abstract:

The central question this thesis is concerned with is the question of death: how do we make sense of it? Through philosophical examination, we discover we cannot make sense of death. Death is nonsensical because it cognitively and physically cannot be controlled via a binary context; death becomes something we fear. This fear we feel is, in turn, immune to true catharsis. To control the fear of death to some extent, we suture the fear we experience from physical punishment with our metaphysical fear of death. Thus, the meaning and experience of death become entangled in the binary of punishmen

Working within a hermeneutical tradition, Todorov understands reader participation as interpretation, in which the creative ambiguities of the literary object are primarily epistemological.

Abstract:

The emergence of Web 2.0, such as social media, has provided educators with new tools with which to communicate. The internet’s transition from a one-way communicative media to a fully interactive platform has changed the way educators use the internet in their curricula. This study investigates how Web 2.0 is used by teachers and students in both secondary and tertiary schools and how it can challenge conventional ways of teaching. It explores, among other things, the production of portfolios and the uses of class and student websites as a means to foster a student-centered approach to learni

Abstract:

I min undersökning har jag intresserat mig för bilder från en katastrof. Jag har valt en katastrof som jag själv har upplevt, stormen Gudrun som 2005 svepte in över södra Sverige. Min frågeställning har varit: Hur berättar privata bilder respektive mediebilder om stormen Gudrun och vilka funktioner fyller de olika bildtyperna? Jag har valt att undersöka dels den mediala bilden, men också den privata bilden i form av fotografier av stormen Gudrun. Jag har kategoriserat mediebilder från stormen Gudrun utifrån olika semiotiska modeller. Jag har fått syn på hur bilder iscensätts och dramatiseras a

Abstract:

This study explores food image creation as an integral aspect of food styling as a profession. Q-methodology, with its five steps, guided this study. At the outset, the qualitative part of the research, interviews with South African food stylists provided guidance to develop the concourse. Food magazine readers examined a set of six selected images and matched each of them against six aesthetic indicators, also indicating their subsequent behavioural intent. For this process the Q-sort method was applied in which a predetermined sample of the readership of two of South Africa‟s most eminent fo

This study investigates a multilingual, multi-genre data set of 13 post-9/11 popular culture videos, produced by performative artists from across global society, which use digital media aesthetics to defy hegemonic narratives relating to Islam and the War on Terror. The languages represented across the 13 texts are English, French, Spanish and Arabic; and the popular culture genres are hip-hop, comedy, punk and parkour. The texts are grouped thematically for analytical purposes into the following categories: 9/11, War on Terror, Clash of Civilisations, and Palestine. Using the sociological man

Abstract:

The present work explores my practice as a photojournalist researching anthropological issues in the Muslim world. I use the Hawzas, the Muslim Shi’a seminaries, as my case study to invite a visually informed approach to the human sciences, and promote a practical usage of aesthetics. Because of the dramatic disproportion between socio-cultural relevance and under-representation, the Hawzas offer an extremely valuable opportunity to research issues of Orientalism and Orientalist visual archives. By questioning my own fieldwork practice alongside the visual signification of the Hawzas, I reconn

Abstract:

Pixar’s Toy Story (John Lassiter, 1995) is not just a story about toys and the children that play with them, but a demonstration of how we interact with the world. This thesis looks at the way in which both main children, Andy and Sid, interact with their toys and how this interaction is one that is structured by way of what Martin Heidegger calls “Enframing.” In this modality of playing, toys and other things and entities in the world, and the world itself, appear to the children as on-hand resources for use at any time and can be molded, as if plastic, to fit their needs.

Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by an impairment of Social Cognition (SC) abilities; SC is a complex cognitive construct; it is fundamental to improve successful social interactions. Another capacity that promotes positive social interaction is the aesthetic perception, a capacity closely related to the SC construct, influencing each other, in Typically Developed (TD) individuals. Impairments of these abilities hinder the social inclusion and lead to isolation of individuals with ASD. Based on these, this PhD project had a double objecti

Abstract:

With an increased number aesthetic surgeries performed in Sweden combined with social media used as a marketing tool, potential clients are exposed for persuasive marketing messages. The harder competition has led to a pressure on prices and the requirements of marketers’ creativity have increased. We predicted that this industry faces ethical challenges which makes it worth investigating. The purpose of the study was to explore how young women view and respond to marketing by aesthetic surgery clinics in social media. In order to fulfill the purpose a qualitative approach was conducted throu
