Abstract:

While technology is often seen as a noisy, impatient and pervasive aspect of our lives, this practice-led research project investigated the counter proposition–that we might be able to evoke sensations of stillness through technology-mediated artworks. Investigations into stillness were informed by Buddhism, phenomenology, and experiences of meditation and the practice of archery. By combining visual art, performance, installation, video and interaction design, a series of experimental, interdisciplinary artworks were produced and exhibited to evoke a sense of stillness and to impel audiences

Abstract:

The research investigates stillness as movement in time and space explored and exploited through an interdisciplinary study of ceramics and dance. Exercises consistent with Butoh, a Japanese dance form, are employed as an exploratory tool to facilitate a broader interpretation of stillness as motion through a corporeal processing of concepts such as time and space. Laban's 'principles of movement' are observed, explored and employed as a method used in choreography to analytically study movement as still components of a flux within space to inform dance composition. This study maps a path to p

Abstract:

This thesis explores still life across different media in the early-to mid-twentieth century. Still life has long been characterised as a 'minor' genre due to its supposedly humble subject matter. However, the genre conjures up double, often paradoxical meanings, which unsettle these assumptions. I therefore propose a more elastic interpretation, to invoke still life as a genre of visual art but also as a condition in which all arts are implicated, a form of artistic practice, and a mode of being. I argue that modern still life represents a site of visceral encounter and an artistic practice w

Abstract:

The present work represents both: a design proposal and a proposal for design.Today we are exposed to more and louder noise than ever before in all areas of human life, which alters the environment, our health and the quality of social interaction to the worse. Therefore, this project takes its departure point in the concept of Stille (German for stillness and silence) in order to oppose this culture of noise. Our surroundings influence our actions and vice versa we alter these surroundings with our actions. However, since constructed within every detail, they do not allow a transient feedback

Abstract:

This collection of stories explores moments of stillness in human relationships: moments during an argument when there is nothing to say, moments of quiet contemplation which precedes inevitable--and often unwelcome--life changes, moments of frustration, confusion, despair, and grace. In the chaotic lives of these characters, stillness is neither tranquil nor gentle. Rather it is an oppressive silence, heavy with the weight of the unspoken. Ultimately, the collection explores another kind of stillness too: a stillness of heart.<br>Graduation date: 2003

Abstract:

In this paper, the imagery of public exhibition spaces, museums, and public collections is discussed in relationship to my body of work. I engage ideas of stillness, the creation of alternate realities, and how preconceptions shape interpretation. My interest in stillness and the activation of captured moments is expressed through the relationship between Cabela’s and my photographic archive. By compositing and reconstructing these images, I shift the viewer’s perception of reality. I thus explore how these aesthetic considerations generate fictitious interpretations.

Abstract:

The experience of stillness is one which has been studied through meditation and in relation to the dance/movement experience. There seems to be a close correspondence between stillness and the creative or art making process and thus, I postulate that stillness is an inherent part of the creative process. Following a heuristic line of inquiry, I sought to discover the nature of stillness and as it relates to the creative process through my own experiences. In this paper I share my journey through the various stages and realisations which have led me to learn how to further enhance the experien

A Kind of Stillness Glows explores a microcosmic view of nature's dynamic growth process. A hundred rhythms spontaneously come into being and pass away as forces disturb and balance each other through pitch and time/space. All are governed, however, by the fundamental law of gravitation, a shimmering undercurrent of pedal tones traded between the instrumental families while contracting and expanding in range.

This thesis aims to show in what way Nieh’s doctrine results from his re-interpretation of Wang Yang-ming’s doctrine of liang-chih. In view of the negative development of the School of Wang Yang-ming after the master’s death, Nieh rejects the identification of liang-chih as a principle of perception. In order to counter the negative development, he also tries to explicate the concept of liang-chih in terms of the concept of “stillnes

That is, the motion of “nostalgia” triggers a seeking of “stillness” in time, and refers
