Questions and Answers

Gazes (male, institutional, exotic)

  • A concept that refers to the unidirectional observation where the subject simply receives visual information without any emotional engagement. This perspective suggests that viewers remain detached from the content, seeing images as mere data points without any influence from personal experiences or societal contexts. It disregards any differentiation in gazes based on factors like gender or race.
  • A term used to denote the passive observation of art where viewers do not interact with the image or its context. In this scenario, the gaze is neutral and objective, lacking any underlying dynamics of desire or power. The focus is solely on the aesthetic quality of the artwork, without considering how identity factors like gender, class, or race might shape the experience of looking.
  • An idea that describes the relationship of viewing where individuals are unaffected by the content and instead maintain a purely rational and analytical perspective. The gaze is uniform and universal, treating all subjects equally without any biases related to sex, gender, race, or class. This approach emphasizes factual interpretation over emotional or subjective connections.
  • A term used to describe the relationship of looking in which the subject is caught up in dynamics of desire through trajectories of looking and being looked at among objects and other people. The gaze of the spectator on the image was an implicitly male one that objectified the women on screen (male gaze). There are a variety of different kinds of gazes, for example, gazes distinguished by sex, gender, race, and class. (correct)
  • Modern, modernity, modernism

  • Modernity is a concept that primarily emphasizes the preservation of traditional practices and values, suggesting that society should cling to established norms rather than embrace change. Modernism refers to a rejection of past artistic styles, advocating for a return to classical techniques and forms. Modern is often used to describe outdated ideas that fail to reflect contemporary society, indicating a resistance to evolving cultural narratives.
  • Modern refers to something contemporary or current, often associated with the present or a specific period. Modernism refers to a set of styles that emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that question traditions and conventions of representation. Modernity was a time of colonialism as well as dramatic technological changes. A linear view of progress toward humankind's prosperity and an optimistic view of the future dominated. At the same time, modernity embodied an anxiety about change and social upheaval. (correct)
  • Modernism is understood as a nostalgic movement focused on reviving historical artistic traditions, where the emphasis is on celebrating the past rather than critiquing it. Modernity is often associated with a static view of society, suggesting that cultural practices should remain unchanged. Modern typically refers to antiquated concepts that do not resonate with current cultural and social dynamics, favoring a backward-looking perspective.
  • Modern refers to the past, often linked to pre-twentieth-century styles that highlight a longing for earlier forms of expression. Modernity is perceived as a phase marked by stagnation and lack of progress, where society fails to evolve. Modernism emphasizes a conservative approach that avoids challenging existing norms, advocating for a return to earlier artistic conventions rather than fostering innovation.
  • Objectification, normalization, exoticization

  • Objectification is the treatment of individuals, particularly women or marginalized groups, as objects rather than as fully autonomous beings. Normalization is the process by which certain behaviors, appearances, or cultural practices are accepted as the standard within society. Exoticization is the portrayal of individuals or cultures as exotic, mysterious, or fundamentally different in a way that emphasizes their otherness. (correct)
  • Objectification refers to the recognition of individuals as complex beings with unique thoughts and emotions, emphasizing their autonomy and individuality. Normalization describes the way in which all cultural practices are viewed as equal, with no behaviors or appearances being favored over others. Exoticization is the process of presenting cultures as completely familiar and relatable, thereby removing any sense of otherness or mystery from their representation.
  • Normalization is the act of reinforcing stereotypes, ensuring that only certain behaviors are recognized as valid, while dismissing alternative expressions as unacceptable. Objectification implies an appreciation for the individuality of people, celebrating their unique traits rather than reducing them to mere objects. Exoticization, in this framework, involves depicting cultures as completely ordinary and unremarkable, stripping them of any uniqueness or allure.
  • Objectification is the act of elevating individuals to an ideal status, highlighting their autonomy and complex identities. Normalization occurs when all behaviors and appearances are viewed as inherently valid, creating an environment of acceptance for diverse practices. Exoticization involves presenting cultures as commonplace and lacking any distinctive qualities, thereby removing any sense of intrigue or difference from their representation.
  • Aerial perspective vs orthographic perspective vs linear perspective vs flattened perspective

    <p>Aerial Perspective is a technique used to create the illusion of depth by representing distant objects as fainter, bluer, and less distinct. This mimics the effect of the atmosphere on distant views, often used in landscape painting. Orthographic Perspective is a drawing in which a three-dimensional object is represented in two dimensions. This method uses parallel lines to depict the object from different views. Linear Perspective is a system of creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface, where parallel lines appear to converge at a single point (the vanishing point) on the horizon. Flattened Perspective is a visual approach in which the sense of depth is minimized, often making the scene appear two-dimensional.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Analog vs digital

    <p>Analog is the representation of data by means of physical properties that express value along a continuous scale. An analog image such as a photograph is distinguished from its digital counterpart in its basis on continuity in gradation of tone and color. Digital represents data by means of discrete digits and encoding that data mathematically. They involve a process of encoding information in bits and assigning each a mathematical value. A digital image is divided into bits that are mathematically encoded.</p> Signup and view all the answers
