Document Summary
Cartesian subject is: static, monocular, located in interior of mind, individual. Vision is part of a much more full-body experience involving the other senses: the image has its own power and advocacy as an object, something to be emotionally experienced rather than simply looked at. Impressionism: engagement with optics and how they are put together by vision, engagement with experience (i. e. cathedral at diff. times of day) Cubism: dimensional effect through the use of shadows, multiple perspectives jammed together in the same image. Could suggest that you"re moving through space and looking at subject through different angles: binocular as opposed to monocular vision. Abstract expressionism: very bodily art, about gesture and how the image is a trace of the artist"s gestures. Performance art: also using the entire body, limited to a particular time and a particular space. Relational art: creates relations among people, i. e. inviting people to cook for them.
