Kornberg, Kristin, and Olivia Svensson. "Durable aesthetics : The aesthetic function of apparel." Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-14773.

Abstract:

The thesis is based on the background of the speed of fashion and mass consumption of apparel, and how fashion-based items do not fulfill the premises of apparel on a long-term basis – the premises mainly being expression of identity. The purpose of the study is to examine the notion of durable aesthetics in relation to the premises consumers have for apparel. The research intends to answer questions of what the premises of apparel are and how it relates to durable aesthetics, what these garments can look like and what implications these answers might have in development of long-term apparel.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the role artists play in maintaining their legitimacy through participating in various roles across the entire art world by tracing the careers of selected artists with expanded practices. Where actions are performed on behalf of artists, artists lose the ability to represent themselves and even participate in their own disenfranchisement. Systems and systems aesthetics are first explored before the art world itself is revealed as a system. The positions that artists take up in the system is explored through the careers of various artists, including those that work as c

Abstract:

With this paper, I consider my operation of independent, artist run institutions (ARIs) as a constitutive element of my broader artistic practice, resisting a Kantian model of ‘disinterested’ aesthetics that would seek to keep the two ontologically distinct. Through a reading of Jacques Derrida’s deconstructionist text on Kant’s parergon, I identify that the various labours required to maintain spaces of exhibition have a peripheral impact on a viewer’s experience within this space, and can thus be used by the artist to (re)shape the terms of aesthetic encounter. I examine a range of critical

Abstract:

In this paper, I will try to answer the question how the aesthetic idea in Kant’s aesthetic theory accounts for the universal validity of the subjective judgment of taste, and what the nature of the aesthetic idea is that makes such account possible. This claim about universal validity of the subjective judgment of taste in Kant’s philosophy is regarded to be problematic because of the seeming contradiction between the subjectivity of a judgment and its universality. What can solve this contradiction, from my point of view, is the role of the aesthetic idea that it plays in the judgment of tas

This study aims to clarify the underlying conceptual structure of Adorno's theoretical position with regard to both philosophy and art and to examine the expectation of philosophical aesthetics.

I claim that for Adorno dialectic is better thought of not in its Hegelian form but as a Kantian antinomy. This is because the dialectical oppositions he identifies cannot be resolved under the ca

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the spatial contingencies which affect the production and reception of art. The initial argument is premised on 19th century museum architecture and its role in the aesthetic judgement and containment of art. As an idealist formation, the art museum has survived to this day. However, the thesis claims that art is an immanent space which makes sense of the contingencies it contains, and not the other way round. Since the late 1960s, then, artists such as Robert Smithson and Donald Judd have recovered what they term 'architectural afterthought' and 'space as a main

Abstract:

Principles of design composition are commonly understood to pertain to geometrical systems for arranging parts in assembling a formal whole. Connection to socio-cultural 'meaning' and relevance arguably occurs primarily via the assumed divinity or universality of these systems. In the contemporary architectural world, where explicitly held beliefs in fundamental, geometrically defined principles or values have dissipated, guiding principles of composition appear to be obsolete. This seems particularly true in relation to work that highlights process - or change, responsiveness, interactivity a

This thesis offers a philosophical perspective on a topic that enjoys interdisciplinary attention: the aesthetics of the natural environment. My observation is that most contemporary theories about the appreciation and evaluation of natural beauty rely on one of two models, the first based on art history and criticism, the second derivative of scientific categories and interpretations. I argue for a third approach, one that draws on philosophical issues in aesthetics, and develop it as an alternative to the art and science-based models of natural beauty.

In software visualization, but also in information visualization in general, there is a great need for evaluation of visualization metaphors. To reduce the amount of empirical studies a omputational approach has been applied successfully, e.g., to graph visualization.

This paper lays a foundation for adopting this approach to any field of information visualization by providing a method, the repertory grid technique, to identify aesthetics that are measurable, meta
