Buss, Robert Q. Jr. "Monumental Ephemerality." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/35435.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis completes the process of making architecture. It is a small project designed and built full scale. The act of realizing this work of architecture offered opportunities and limitations that do not exist within the confines of a desk project but, I believe, ultimately produced a stronger project. This is a piece of micro-architecture.
In order to create a project that is realizable for a thesis, I chose a small program: to design an exhibition structure that could be used outdoors to display and sell handmade items such as pottery. Since the use is temporary, the structure is designed to be portable, thus the assembly and disassembly of the building becomes a significant influence on the design. Beyond budget, weight and volume of the collapsed structure were significant design constraints.
This thesis is not just an exploration of tectonics. A great deal of effort was spent to ensure that the inside of the structure is still perceived as an outside space even though it provides protection from the weather and the activities of the street. A membrane keeps the water out while letting the light in; it blocks vision while transmitting shadow, and, while screening large areas from view, it reveals glimpses of people, activities, and the sky beyond.
The lightweight aluminum structural frame visually dissappears. The fabric roof and side panels provide the main visual mass for the building and they are perceived mainly through the quality of light that they transmit and reflect. One looks at a structure but sees only its ephemerality.<br>Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 138-149. This thesis investigates the theoretical and practical importance of nomadic ways of life for architecture. Nomadology is a construction of Deleuze and Gattari's 'counter-philosophy' challenging authenticity and propriety, in this case, in the context of architecture. It describes how nomadology may challenge static, permanent, heroically solitary ways of working and dwelling, and suggests strategies - diagramming, ephemerality, movement, and collaboration - as ways of reconciling nomadism and architecture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes the exploration of three architectural sources that are narrative in nature: the Renaissance Entry of a Monarch as a public event in the city, the Surrealist novel as a critical medium, and the Teatro del Mondo project by Aldo Rossi for the Venice Biennale of 1979-80, in order to address the making of architecture in the contemporary city. The royal entry and the modern novel are forms that provide for possible interpretation of the city and reflect the difference between the modern and the pre-modern eras. Aldo Rossi's Teatro del Mondo as a work of architecture that was both ephemeral and a place of narrative, was a project that addressed the difficult problems of the architecture of the city. Architecture no longer participates in the realization of ritualistic narrative, as when the festival gave permanence to urban institutions by revealing the order of the Cosmos. However, there remains the necessity for architecture to engage imagination and the narratives implicit in the world.

Kwon, Hyosun. "From ephemerality to delicacy : applying delicacy in the design space of digital gifting." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/46705/.
Full textAbstract:
We encounter uncountable ephemeral phenomena in everyday life. Some of them are particularly appreciated for their ungraspable beauty and limited availability. From the outset, one strand of computing technology has evolved to encapsulate and preserve this transient experience. A myriad of digital devices has been developed to capture the fleeting moments and to store as digital files for later use, edit, share, and distribute. On the other hand, a portion of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has engaged in adopting the transience of temporal phenomena in the design of interactive computing systems. Some computer and mobile applications metaphorically adopt the ephemerality in graphical elements or functions that resemble our real world experiences such as, forgetting and real-time conversation that naturally fades away immediately. Interactive artefacts or installations often incorporate ephemeral materials for abstract and artistic expression. Therefore, ephemeral artefacts or phenomena are often employed as a passive design element in ambient and peripheral interactions rather than in applications for practical purpose. However, ephemeral materials also engender experiences of a non-ambient nature. Some materials are physically fragile, only lasting for a brief moment, and therefore require constant care to retain their status, which might lead to highly focused attention, delicate interaction, and even a tense experience. This thesis aims to investigate how to harness the fleeting and irreversible feature of ephemeral artefacts in the design of practical products and services. This PhD builds on the methods of design-oriented HCI research. Thus, this thesis will present a research process that involves a series of challenges to initially frame a design problem in a fertile area for exploration; speculate a preferred situation; develop proof-of-concept prototypes to demonstrate the potential solution; and evaluate the prototypes through a user study. Contributions of this PhD have visualised by the outputs from multiple design studies. First, this thesis illustrates how the concept of ephemerality is currently understood in HCI. Then proposes a different approach to the use of ephemeral materials by shifting the focus to delicacy. The first design study introduces FugaciousFilm, a soap film based interactive touch display that shifted ephemerality from a user’s periphery to the focal point of interaction. The prototype is a platform for manifesting ephemeral interactions by inducing subtly delicate experiences. By demonstrating that ephemeral interactions reinforce user’s attention, delicacy was noticed as an attribute of user experience. By understanding of the use of delicacy, the research focus has moved from exploring how an individual ephemeral material can be utilised in interaction design, to harnessing delicacy of such materials in experience design that benefits Human-Computer Interaction. Thus, this thesis recaptures digital gift wrapping as a context by reviewing the current state of affairs in digital gifting in the field of HCI and design. A 5-stage gifting framework has been synthesised from the literature review and guided this PhD throughout the studies. The framework ought to be seen as a significant contribution in its own right. Based on this framework, a series of interviews was conducted to identify any weaknesses that reside in current media platforms, digital devices, and different modes of interaction. Hence, ‘unwrapping a digital gift’ has captured as a gap in the design space that could be reinforced by a delicate, ephemeral interaction. Therefore, this PhD proposes Hybrid Gift, a series of proof-of-concept prototypes that demonstrates digital gift wrappings. Hybrid Gift has been probed in a semi-structured design workshop to examine the use of delicacy and ephemerality in the design of digital gifting practices. The prototypes were designed to retrieve not only the unwrapping experience but also rituals around gift exchange. Therefore, this thesis discusses design implications of the findings that emerged throughout the study. Digital gifting is still an under-explored research area that is worthwhile to investigate through field works. Thus, the design implications and the framework are proposed to researchers and designers who wish to engage in the arena of digital gifting, also broadly in social user experience, and communication service and system design. From a macroscopic perspective, we are experiencing fleeting moments every second, minute, and day. However, they are rarely noticed unless we recognise that time passes irreversibly. This thesis extracted delicacy as a feature of ephemeral interactions and argued that it holds the potential to augment and enhance mundane experiences mediated by digital technology. In so doing, the series of design studies has conceptually influenced the design perspective to be shifted from material-oriented design to experience-focused design research. The design space of digital gifting would not have been recognised without the hands-on design practices in the process of this PhD. Finally, the proof-of-concept prototypes, framework, and design implications are thought to be of significance and value to the design students, researchers, and designers who want to employ similar methods and approaches in design research.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of entrepreneurial city has remained relevant and popular since its first emergence several decades ago. Among the strategies adopted, hosting city mega-events is still widely applied by city governments to attract international visitors, businesses and investments. Alongside the software programs of the events, entrepreneurial cities will also prepare them with extensive construction and infrastructure projects, taking the opportunity to capitalize in the events and equally importantly fast-track the development and growth agenda with the political imperative generated.
Mega-event led urban regeneration emerges as one model under these entrepreneurially catalyzed agenda. As a commercially-focused and economically-oriented approach fundamentally built in the entrepreneurial strategy, hosting mega-event will lead to the formation of a growth coalition which profits from the increase in land exchange values resulting from the general urban growth process. The continuous strengthening of the coalition will eventually compromise the use values, which include the social network and the sense of community of the local residents affected by the development. The model therefore embodies an inherent conflict in delivering regeneration. The study examines this model using the perspective of urban governance and focuses on the power relation between the state, the private sector and the community involved in the regeneration process.
The current London 2012 Olympic Games, which positions itself a regeneration Games, is the latest and explicit attempt to apply this model. Following a series of other entrepreneurial regeneration initiatives in East London, the London 2012 Games represents another entrepreneurial initiative employing similar mechanisms of public-private partnership and privatization approaches, only with a far greater scale. The political imperative brought by the Games has prompted the proactive participation of the state in the common growth agenda shared by the coalition. With the political, legal and financial resources transferred from the government to the private sector to ensure a successful spectacle, the growth coalition following this mega-event is a state-led powerful one which contributes largely to its domination in the urban politics. Episodes of community displacement, disadvantaged residents in bargaining for future development plan, and compromised regeneration gains have been consequently observed in the Olympic site and its immediate surrounding areas. Affirming the inherent conflict embedded in the mega-event led urban regeneration model, the London Games risks deepening social polarization and gentrification. While the progress examined so far covers only the Games initiation and preparation stage, the governance approach can still be reverted in the coming legacy delivery stage to realize a genuine regeneration. This will depend largely on the new roles the state power will take in the on-going process of the Games.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Urban Planning and Design<br>Master<br>Master of Science in Urban Planning

Previous issue date: 2015-02-15<br>Este trabalho analisa as possibilidades de apropriação de Mídias Sociais como recursos pedagógicos frente à efemeridade tecnológica, sendo esta última uma das características do campo da Moda. Como aporte teórico, apresentamos discussões sobre a Cultura Digital, e como ela tem sido um fator de manifestação e criação de novos hábitos, como o letramento digital e a apropriação tecnológica, permitindo assim a emergência das TDIC e a inserção destas nos mais diversos contextos educacionais, baseados em Souza (2011), Pretto e Assis (2008) e Buzato (2007, 2010). Discutimos também sobre as Mídias Sociais, visualizando-as como ferramentas propiciadas pelas TDIC, Primo (2011, 2012) e Recuero (2009, 2013), e de como elas podem se configurar como recursos capazes de contribuir efetivamente nas relações de ensino e aprendizagem estabelecidas, sobre o olhar de Valente (2010), Leite (2011) e Bravim (2007). Também discutimos as definições acerca da efemeridade tecnológica, apresentando caracterizações que nos permitem visualizá-la como um dos reflexos da presença do Sistema de Moda na apropriação de Mídias Sociais, baseados em Lipovestsky (1989), e Barnard (2003). A pesquisa foi realizada tomando como instrumentos para coleta de informações a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas e a realização de observação física e online. Os métodos de análise consistiram na análise do discurso de linha francesa, assim como análise qualitativa comparativa dos dados. Os resultados apontam que a efemeridade tem situado alunos e professores em níveis diferentes de letramento digital e apropriação tecnológica, fazendo com que exista uma grande dificuldade na apropriação de Mídias Sociais enquanto recursos pedagógicos que contribuam efetivamente nas relações de ensino e aprendizagem.<br>This research analyzes the Social Media ownership opportunities as pedagogical resources across the technological ephemerality, the latter being one of the characteristics of the field of Fashion. As theoretical contribution, we present discussions on digital culture, and how it has been a manifestation factor and creating new habits, such as digital literacy and technological appropriation, thus allowing the emergence of TDIC and the inclusion of these in various educational settings based on Souza (2011), Pretto and Assis (2008) and Buzato (2007, 2010). We also discussed about the Social Media, viewing them as tools afforded by the TDIC, Primo (2011, 2012) and Recuero (2009, 2013), and how they can be configured as resources capable of contributing effectively in the established teaching and learning relationships on the look of Valente (2010), Milk (2011) and Bravim (2007). We also discussed the definitions about the technological ephemerality, with characterizations that allow us to view it as one of the consequences of the presence of the Fashion System in the appropriation of Social Media, based in Lipovestsky (1989) and Barnard (2003). The survey was conducted using as instruments to collect information conducting semi-structured interviews and conducting physical and online observation. Methods of analysis consisted of discourse analysis of french lines, as well as comparative qualitative analysis. The results show that the ephemerality is situated students and teachers at different levels of digital literacy and technological appropriation, causing there is a great difficulty in the appropriation of Social Media as pedagogical resources that contribute effectively in teaching and learning relations.

Previous issue date: 2011-02-23<br>The present study examines the approaches of concepts of package and image, and considering the impact technology that enable the reproduction of images in series packs-pointing the "use" or "ephemeral use" disposable images. Portrays a history of consumer packages in Brazil along with researchers dealing with concepts of design, communication and image search and the interrelationship of selected features. Highlights: "The world is coded" Flusser's (2007) as main support. Explains the human dependence front on manufacturing and use of packages. The issue is to identify aspects of communicative and intersubjective, and analyze it from the point of view of the perishable. Meanwhile faced then with Javacheff Christo and Jeanne-Claude and his famous "empaquetage‖. When you get a historical perspective of product package, it was decided to point and extract the main facts of its development in Brazil. It addresses the act of packing before the consumer society, in dialogue with Baudrillard and de Certeau studies that investigate the behavior of society towards the use of these types of images and representations. Recognizes the package as an image, given the saturation of current imagery. Faced with the term "imago" which was the second Debray mask molded from the face of a corpse and comes to Flusser and his theory on the codification of the world in which our attention the fact that we live in age of imagery and saturation arise two complex fields: the image and communication. The banality of the image in consumer society is seen in the works of Andy Warhol, critical to visual communication and ultimately Baitello Junior that inaugurates the term iconophagy that recalls the antropophagics rituals practiced by the Indians<br>O presente estudo aborda aproximações dos conceitos de embalagem e imagem e, considera os impactos tecnológicos que viabilizam a reprodução de embalagens-imagens em série apontando o ―uso‖ ou ―consumo efêmero‖ das imagens descartáveis. Retrata um histórico das embalagens de consumo no Brasil paralelamente com pesquisadores que abordam conceitos de design, comunicação e imagem e busca a interdisciplinaridade das características selecionadas. Destaque para ―O mundo codificado‖ de Flusser (2007) como principal suporte. Explana a dependência humana frente à fabricação e utilização de embalagens. A questão é identificar seus aspectos comunicativos e intersubjetivos, além de analisá-la sob o ponto de vista do perecível. Neste ínterim depara-se então com Christo Javacheff e Jeanne-Claude e seus famosos ―empaquetages‖. Ao se buscar uma perspectiva histórica das embalagens de produtos, optou-se em apontar e extrair os principais fatos da sua evolução no Brasil. Aborda o ato de embalar diante da sociedade de consumo, em diálogo com os estudos de Certeau e Baudrillard, que investigam o comportamento da sociedade frente ao uso desses tipos de imagens e representações. Reconhece a embalagem como imagem, diante da saturação imagética da atualidade. Depara-se com o termo ―imago‖, que segundo Debray era a máscara moldada a partir do rosto de um morto e chega-se a Flusser e sua teoria sobre a codificação do mundo, na qual nos chama a atenção o fato de vivermos na era da saturação imagética e surgem dois campos complexos: a imagem e a comunicação. A banalização da imagem na sociedade de consumo é observada nas obras de Andy Warhol, crítico à comunicação visual e por fim, Baitello Junior que inaugura o termo ICONOFAGIA que lembra os rituais antropofágicos praticados pelos índios

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender como se dá a construção e o consumo de narrativas efêmeras do cotidiano nas Histórias do Snapchat e Instagram. São levantos no referencial teórico aspectos técnicos de ambos serviços de rede social, principais propriedades, assim como seus usos e apropriações. Em um segundo momento, são trazidas questões pertinentes à esfera do cotidiano, como sua constituição e a relação do sujeito com o mundo. A seguir, tem-se a construção e a recepção de narrativas, que inclui uma breve abordagem das narrativas de si e da construção identitária na internet. A investigação empírica é desencadeada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, em que, através da técnica da bola de neve, foram identificados e selecionados dez sujeitos que fazem uso intenso das Histórias. A partir da análise dos dados, evidencia-se cinco características básicas que permeiam toda a construção e o consumo de narrativas nas Histórias: o caráter cotidiano, a efemeridade, o aspecto imagético, o caráter dialógico e o entretenimento. Em termos gerais, processo de construção e consumo de narrativas nas Histórias tanto do Snapchat e do Instagram se dá em uma relação entrelaçada com a esfera cotidiana. Em função dessa relação e das características citadas, detectou-se um tensionamento entre o apelo à espontaneidade e a constante gestão de narrativas nas Histórias.<br>This dissertation aims to understand how the construction and consumption of ephemeral narratives of daily life occur on Snapchat and Instagram Stories. There are technical aspects of both social network services, main properties, as well as their uses and appropriations. In a second moment, pertinent questions are brought to the sphere of the quotidian, as its constitution and the relation of the subject with the world. Next, there is the construction and reception of narratives, which includes a brief approach to narratives of self and identity construction on the internet. The empirical investigation is triggered by means of semi-structured interviews, in which, through the technique of the snowball, ten subjects that make intensive use of the Stories are identified and selected. From the analysis of the data, five basic characteristics that permeate the construction and consumption of narratives in the Stories are revealed: daily character, ephemerality, imagery, dialogical character and entertainment. In general terms, the process of constructing and consuming narratives in both Snapchat and Instagram Stories take place in an intertwined relationship with the quotidian sphere. Due to this relationship and the mentioned characteristics, it finds a tension between the call to spontaneity and the constant management of narratives in the Stories.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Interiores e Reabilitação do Edificado apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.<br>Projeto Final de Mestrado aqui apresentado teve como principal objectivo
abordar a temática da reversibilidade e efemeridade em intervenções de
reabilitação.
Tomando como objecto de estudo a ala sul da Manutenção Militar em Lisboa,
durante o presente PFM, pretendeu-se encontrar soluções capazes de responder
às necessidades dentro do complexo da MM e do tecido urbano envolvente.
O trabalho desenvolvido, incidiu mais especificamente nos edifícios do antigo
Armazém Celeiro e no antigo supermercado (Armazém das Grillas). O programa
escolhido a implementar, foi a Cidade do Cinema, no entanto uma vez que não é
possível o desenvolvimento de todas as suas componentes, propôs-se
desenvolver um programa para um Centro de Formação Multimédia e Estúdios de
gravação.
Tendo em conta que se trata de um conjunto com valor patrimonial a temática da
reversibilidade e efemeridade tomou especial interesse. É fundamental perceber
que os locais onde se intervém, são muitas vezes parte da memória colectiva da
sociedade, e assim sendo tornou-se clara a necessidade de praticar uma
arquitetura mais sustentável no que diz respeito à preservação da pré-existência.
Ao adoptar este tipo de estratégias reconhece-se a efemeridade dos tempos,
deixando em aberto a possibilidade de futuras transformações.
Pretendeu-se então, implementar soluções reversíveis e efémeras capazes de
preservar a memória e identidade do edifício, mas ao mesmo tempo qualificá-lo.
O trabalho abordou primeiramente uma componente de contextualização dos
conceitos de restauro, reabilitação e conservação do património, seguindo-se a
contextualização histórica acerca do património Industrial.
Num segundo momento foram abordadas as questões que serviram como
temática ao presente PFM, nomeadamente a temática da reversibilidade e
efemeridade. Por fim, foi também introduzida uma contextualização ao tema da
Cidade do Cinema e três exemplos existentes na Europa.<br>ABSTRACT: ephemerality, in rehabilitation interventions.
Taking, the southern wing of Manutenção Militar in Lisbon, as the main subject,
troughout this project the aim was to find adequate solutions, that would be
capable of solving the needs, within the MM complex, and its urban surroundings.
The project focuses only on a part of the complex, more specifically on the
buildings of the former warehouse (Armazém Celeiro) and the former supermarket
(Armazém das Grillas). The main ideia chosen to implement, was the City of
Cinema, however since, it was not possible to develop all its components and
facilities, in this project it was proposed to develop only two buildings, them being,
a Multimedia Training Center and Filming Studios.
The themes of reversibility and ephemerality, took special interest, due to the fact,
that the MM complex has patrimonial value, and it is to be preserved. It is
fundamental to understand, that some intervention sites, are often part of society's
collective memory, and thus, it becomes clear the need to practice a more
sustainable architecture, with regard to the preservation of the memory.
By adopting this type of strategy, it is recognized the ephemerality of the times,
leaving open the possibility of future transformations.
In applying reversible and ephemeral solutions, it was intended to preserve the
building's pre-existences, and identity, while at the same time improving it.
The present research, first provided context on the subjects of restoration,
rehabilitation and conservation of the heritage, followed by a historical context,
about the Industrial heritage.
In a second moment, the concepts that served as the theme of this PFM, more
specifically the concepts of reversibility and ephemerality, were addressed.
Finally, it was given context, on the subject of the City of Cinema, and on its three
existing examples in Europe.<br>N/A

In recent years, there has been extended research on the Big Five and social media, especially Facebook. Snapchat, a fast-growing photo-sharing app, has however not been thoroughly researched yet. This paper aimed at closing this research gap and at investigating the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and Snapchat users and nonusers. Additionally, it researched the potential of the app to advertise new music published by music labels. The sample consisted of 124 self-selected Snapchat users and non-users (94 Snapchat users and 30 Snapchat non-users), between the ages of 18 and 55. Approximately 53% of the participants were from Sweden, 24% from Germany and the rest from other countries. Participants were asked to complete an online questionnaire comprising the Big Five Inventory and demographic questions. Snapchat users also completed a Snapchat usage questionnaire. Additionally, a short interview about Snapchat was held with a representative of a music label. The results showed that there are only minor differences between Snapchat users and non-users regarding the Big Five personality traits. However, male Snapchat users tend to be more open to new experiences. The usage of specific Snapchat features could be connected to more extraverted, neurotic and conscientious individuals. The overall interest for musicrelated content on Snapchat was rather low. Therefore, Snapchat can be used as a complementary marketing action to raise awareness, but cannot stand alone.<br>Under de senaste åren har det gjorts utökad forskning om Big Five och sociala medier, särskilt Facebook. Snapchat, en snabb växande bilddelning app, har dock inte undersökts noggrant. Detta examensarbete syftade till att undersöka det outforskade området kring förhållandet mellan Big Five personlighetsdrag och Snapchat-användare och icke- användare. Dessutom undersökte den möjligheten för skivbolag att annonsera ny musik i appen. Urvalet bestod av 124 självvalda Snapchat-användare och icke-användare (94 Snapchat-användare och 30 Snapchat-icke-användare), mellan 18 och 55 år. Ungefär 53% av deltagarna var från Sverige, 24% från Tyskland och resten från andra länder. Deltagarna blev ombedda att fylla i ett online frågeformulär som omfattade Big Five Inventory och demografiska frågor. Snapchat-användare slutförde också ett Snapchat-användningsformulär. Dessutom hölls en kort intervju om Snapchat med en representant från ett skivbolag. Resultaten visade att det endast finns mindre skillnader mellan Snapchatanvändare och icke-användare angående Big Five-personlighetsdragen. Manliga Snapchat-användare tenderar att vara mer öppna för nya upplevelser. Användningen av specifika Snapchat-funktioner kan kopplas till mer extravert, neurotiska och samvetsgranna individer. Det övergripande intresset för musikrelaterat innehåll på Snapchat var ganska lågt. Därför kan Snapchat användas som en kompletterande marknadsföringsåtgärd för att öka medvetenheten, men inte som enda marknadsföringsåtgärd.

Passei a considerar a cidade como um campo possível para realizações e a mapeá-la, identificando as ruínas do início do século como locais para intervenções. Buscando gerar uma relação com as marcas do tempo e do descaso físico e social, os objetos infláveis, passageiros e frágeis, foram instalados portanto em locais históricos e deteriorados. Amorfas e prontas a assumir novas formas, as Bolhas se apresentaram às geografias dos diferentes espaços como elementos vivos. Propondo um olhar sobre o fim do objeto sólido, estável e durável, elas tendiam a se potencializar justamente pela impermanência.<br>Abstract: This master's thesis brings together the research, reflection and record of Urban Bubbles Project conducted between 2006 and 2007.The series "Bolhas Urbanas" (Urban Bubbles) emerged from my necessity to move outside the indoor spaces conventionally destined for art. I began to look at the city as a possible field upon which I could act, and to chart turn-of-the-century ruins as potential places for my interventions. In an attempt to establish a relationship with marks of time and of physical and social neglect, I installed ephemeral and fragile inflatable objects in decayed historical sites. Therefore, ready as they were to take on new shapes, the amorphous Bubbles presented themselves to the geography of different sites as live organisms. While proposing an inquiry on the end of the solid, stable and durable object, these Bubbles tended to become potent precisely on account of their impermanence.<br>Mestrado<br>Artes Plásticas<br>Mestre em Artes

Full textAbstract:
Retro art and technology have been on the rise in recent years, the phenomenon is fuelled by the nostalgia of a sense of authenticity that the offline world can no longer satisfy. The integration of technology into human’s social conduct has made it an extension of their beings. Faced with technological progress, people also yearn to regress to the age-old days of their childhood. Nostalgia often comes with romanticization of the past, but it also offers a sense of security and realness that is seemingly lost amid the constant exchange of data in the present time. This lays ground for the rise of faux-vintage photos on social application Instagram. Bracing itself as a modern digital media, Instagram capitalizes on nostalgia for the analog and fetishization of the retro aesthetics of old media. While researchers have noted the link between Instagram and digital nostalgia, these works remained within the theoretical realm. Using a combination of interface criticism and interview, the paper focuses on human and computer interaction to study digital nostalgia and mediated authenticity on Instagram. The findings point out the complexity of Instagram as a social network and a creative tool in the emerging age of pervasive computing, in which the technology increasingly integrates and fades into the background of our everyday lives. The paper’s intention is to develop further understanding of retromodern technology, particularly Instagram, in reconstructing our knowledge of society and everyday social conduct. A better comprehension of our digital culture is crucial to the development of the self and society.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the visual expressions of Street Art that occurs in the public space, and by doing so, to study this specifi c practice, and also elucidate the relation between public space as a democratic idea, a place for freedom of speech and as a planned, aesthetically shaped place. The intention is to throw light upon a central part of many young peoples lives in a didactic aspect. In this thesis I discuss Street Art as an informal image making in public space that young people use as tools to make meaning, but also as a form of resistance. The methodologies used in the study are ethnography and visual ethnography, where observational studies of Street Art as practice, interviews and interpretation of photographs (my own, and my informants) are performed and analysed. Theoretically, the study has a didactic and semiotic approach but I also rely on Cultural Studies as a research fi eld in order to be able to pick up different kinds of theories. From three platforms; public space and public place and places for Street Art, aesthetic learning processes within this specifi c practice, and fi nally the expanded fi eld of Art and the similarities and differences between formal Art and Street Art I have outlined four themes; ephemerality, the criteria for Street Art practice, how the work is being done, as a collective and individual practice, the struggle of space in public space, and fi nally high and low in Art and culture. By describing and analysing this informal image making light is thrown upon the aesthetic learning process that occurs, the didactic aspect of this practice and the communication that the images articulate. As a result, the study shows that Street Art, in spite of its illegal mark, points out that it is an aesthetic production and a creative practice that consists of resistance, meaning making, achieving knowledge through practice, and above all a way to use the city, to become a part of the city. The thesis contributes with the suggestion that this informal aesthetic learning process is a way to form identity, make meaning, take part of public space, and through symbolic resistance demand ones rights of expression.

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary debates on space, the validity of &<br>#8216<br>physical space&<br>#8217<br>as an indispensable category of human existence is widely questioned on the basis of the claim that the relevant interval of analysis has shifted from &<br>#8216<br>space&<br>#8217<br>to &<br>#8216<br>time&<br>#8217<br>, thanks to the technological innovations enabling the speed of present-day telecommunications. The apparent primacy of mobility of deterritorialized commodities, signs, meanings, and identities, in the contemporary society, adds new dimensions to the traumatic experience of ephemerality, in spatial and temporal categories. Through the claims declaring, the dissolution of the dichotomy between urban and rural, and redefinition of the relevant dichotomy between the &<br>#8216<br>space of places&<br>#8217<br>and the &<br>#8216<br>space of flows&<br>#8217<br>in recent theoretical efforts<br>we attempt to trace how the notion of &<br>#8216<br>place&<br>#8217<br>could be revalidated and reconstituted with reference to processes of contemporary globalization.

Previous issue date: 2017-02-21<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>This here text presents an investigation about changes in the percep- tion of time and space in contemporary society, which can be identified in the fields of Fashion Design and Architecture. For that matter, some of the changes that marked the turn of the 19th century with the Indus- trial Revolution are contextualized, and so are the changes on lifesty- les and on the production of subjectivities. Ephemerality emerges as a striking concept in the 20th century, from the consolidation of aspects such as acceleration and displacement. From this perspective, Hussein Chalayan’s Afterwords fashion collection and the architectural work Blur Building proposed by the Diller Scofidio studio are presented. Fi- nally, from Design for Difference, developed by Angela Luna, fashion designer, derives a brief discussion on wearables as a production of existence territories, contributing to broaden the dialogues between the fields of Fashion Design and Architecture.<br>O presente trabalho expõe uma investigação acerca de modificações na percepção de tempo e de espaço na sociedade contemporânea, possíveis de serem identificados nos campos do Design de Moda e da Arquitetura.

A efemeridade emerge como conceito marcante no século XX, a partir da consolidação de aspectos como a aceleração e o deslocamento. Com base nesta perspectiva, são apresentadas a coleção de moda Afterwords, criada por Hussein Chalayan e a obra arquitetônica Blur Building, proposta pelo estúdio Diller Scofidio. Por fim, do trabalho Design for Difference, desenvolvido pela designer de moda Angela Luna, deriva-se uma breve discussão dos vestíveis como produção de territórios de existência, colaborando para a ampliação dos diálogos entre os campos do Design de Moda e da Arquitetura.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD responds to a two fold problem with the philosophy of design and the practice of design. The philosophical problem is stated as the discrepancy between a dominant philosophical framework that orders the world according to eternal essences and the actual conditions of the world in which we exist: the conditions of becoming and of flux. Commencing with a critique of the western metaphysical tradition of statics this research project proposes that we need to find a way of describing an evolutionary model of practice, and by so doing to provide a revitalised narration of process. Consequently, the PhD explores the meanings of process through a critical examination of an ensemble of projects created by the author. Within this framework, a number of questions are posed in order to explore the proposition of a process practice. These questions are: What is process? How does one think process? Indeed, how do we get to grasp change? What are the consequences of process thinking on the practices of design, their fields of operation, and their productions? And, how can the thematising of process contribute to the design of the constructed environment, as well as reconfigure the practices of design? This thematising of process is argued to involve a necessary address to the constitutive and interrelated characteristics of process: space/time, movement, change, form and matter. Such an address is also seen to problematise the status of the object, the paradigms of representation, the modes of creation, the economies of exchange, and the structures of community, and to offer a modality of practice which would re-imagine the forms of social exchange to offer an ethical alternative to the tyranny of supply and demand, and thereby reconfigure the potential for dwelling. Making an overview of the discourses and practices engaging with theories of becoming, this thesis argues that almost all of these re-inscribe statics and that consequently the practice of design seems to drag behind our understanding of the world. Through a meditation on dis/appearance, in which the dynamics of being and becoming and the restless ambiguity of the gap are examined, the work establishes a process vocabulary, and makes clear through a material practice, the domains of process thinking, its inclinations, and the kinds of operations and procedures that flourish there. Foregrounding the fertile character of process practice, the PhD then proceeds to introduce notions of the movement-form, the duration-form, the transformational-form, the geometry of encounter, and to argue for physical form as an in-movement poise. Advocating new modes of approach and of attentiveness, and demonstrating new generative methods, this PhD argues that process thinking is not simply an operational stance, but an ethical position that identifies a field of care, and that consequently the design practices be expanded by taking seriously the relationship between process thinking and place making. Thus, this thesis concludes by advocating a mode of place making which, rather than reproduce planned environments as systems of control, configures place as the discursive contested place of encounter and exchange.

Full textAbstract:
Ephemerality is one of the most essential characteristics of fashion, since fashion by definition is existing in the present, in the fleeing moment. Also, fashion is closely related to art and there is currently no clear theoretical distinction made regarding the boundary between these two domains. In this essay I have explored the concept of transiency and the relationship between fashion and art in relation to fashion in general and to the collection Haute Papier, made by the fashion designer Bea Szenfeld, in specific. The Haute Papier collection is constructed almost entirely out of simple white paper sheets and of this reason it can be regarded as ephemeral. The material also positions the garments in a void between fashion and art, simultaneously existing in both domains and in none of them. I have conducted an object analysis of three of the garments from Haute Papier with the aim of discerning aspects of ephemerality, aspects that criticizes the age in which we live and how the collection positions itself in regard to fashion and art. The theories that I have applied to my material emanates from different aspects of transiency and the fashion and art relationship and includes, among others, theories from Walter Benjamin and Barbara Vinken and extractions from the anthology Fashion and Art by Adam Geczy and Vicki Karaminas. In the analysis it became visible that transiency can be discerned in many varying aspects of the collection, for example in the material and in the time in which fashion operates. What also became visible was that the definition of the object, as art or as fashion, above all depends on which system it is part of, but that it also can change this definition if the context changes.

This thesis investigates the theoretical and practical importance of nomadic ways of life for architecture. Nomadology is a construction of Deleuze and Guattari's 'counter-philosophy', challenging authenticity and propriety, in this case, in the context of architecture. This thesis describes how nomadology may serve contemporary architectural practice and criticism; challenging static, permanent, and heroically solitary ways of working and dwelling. Nomadology in architecture proposes ways for thinking and working temporally, dynamically, and collaboratively. The thesis suggests strategies - diagramming, ephemerality, movement, and collaboration - as ways of reconciling nomadism and architecture. The 'Contexts' section of this thesis surveys Western and global contexts of understanding nomads and nomadology, and how these pertain to architecture. Western conceptions of architecture have inhibited the study of nomadology in architecture. A case is made for challenging biases in Western views of architecture, for critically employing the ideas of the diagram and the rhizome in architectural criticism, and for recognising the role of movement. The 'Applications' section shows, through practical examples, that the potential of nomadology is latent in spatial and environmental practices of architectural production and architectural criticism. This section of the thesis identifies the significance of nomads as users and exponents of architecture, despite their frequent exclusion from architectural history. Tent architecture, practices of nomadic resistance and Bedouin life practices are considered as key examples. The 'Strategies' section suggests ways of applying principles of nomadology. This final section expands on the potential for 'peripatetic' practices of architecture. Processes of reconciling settled and nomadic tendencies in architectural projects are outlined. Strategies are described by which engendering and collaborating may be the means for creating architecture. The continuing research into, and interpretation of nomadology in architecture are proposed as a basis for critical theorisation and reflective practice of architecture.<br>Thesis (M.Arch.)--School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture & Urban Design, 2002.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>法國語文學系碩士班<br>97<br>Despite the spatio-temporal gap of 50 years, Baudelaire and Simmel have both mentioned the notion of modernity which puts into question the development of modern city. But, what did they mean by “modernity?” What was the problem that came with the city development? In addition, how have modern citizens been effected by the concept of modernity? The study attempts to probe into the fashion behavior existing in the modern society, and to figure out if the idea of modernity would alter modern people’s life according to the ephemerality and mobility featured in the “modernity” proposed by Baudelaire and Simmel.
The study is divided into three chapters︰the first chapter explores the thread of thought of the definition of modernity proposed by Baudelaire in 1863, then identifies the connection between the ephemerality feature and fashion. In the second chapter, following Baudelaire’s idea, we discuss how Simmel regards modernity and identify the relationship between the mobility and fashion. This present study will then elaborate their ideas on modernity and fashion, and explore further how ephemerality and mobility are expressed by individual’s behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
This M.F.A. thesis paper and exhibition explore the ephemerality of relationships as they are redefined by contiguity and recontextualization. My work derives from an investigation of alternative interpretive structures while retaining an overarching sense of narrative. This approach to painting relies on the human propensity to create organization in order to contend with chaos or overwhelming amounts of information. Traced back to curiosity cabinets or wunderkammers and forward through museums and encyclopedias, the organization of knowledge in both its diachronic and synchronic forms serves to collapse time and space. Geography and chronology become obsolete as relationships between images and objects gain new contexts. This recontextualization is not momentary but continual, as objects and images move through time and are replicated, appropriated and assimilated. Particularly in this digital age, that distance from the original is expanded in such a way as to make relationships truly ephemeral. A painting that derives from a print-out of a JPEG, which was beamed across the globe after being digitized from a photograph of an object already taken out of time and geography by those who placed it in a museum is extraordinarily distant from its original context. The ensuing abstraction changes the image irrevocable; it is a new thing entirely and only an echo of the former context remains. These paintings are filled with echoes but the true narrative is that of the ephemeral relationships that are fixed on the page for a just a moment and then disappear into the continuously shifting stream of context.

Ayerbe, Nerea. "The ephemeral and its materialisations. Towards a redefinition of performance art." 2018. https://slub.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A75121.
Full textAbstract:
There is a broad consensus in the art world that performance can be defined as an action that takes place within a certain time and space. There is also a theoretical debate in regard to documenting performance art. The position of the established paradigm on performance art documentation has been rebutted in practice on two fronts: that the very history of performance art is not consistent with constant disappearance; and regarding how performance art is treated in contemporary art museums. Performance art was eventually museified in the 1990s, completely adapting to the rules of the museum. The paper proposes a redefinition of performance that takes its materialization seriously: its ephemeral nature, the action and the co-presence of the public.
