Concept/Principle 5  Based on the Institutional theory, do you consider this Artificial Intelligence artwork as art? Artificial Intelligence Art refers to any artwork created using Artificial intelligence software. One of the first significant AI artists was Harold Cohen, who began developing the AARON system beginning in the 1960s. In the 1990s and 2000s, Scott Draves and Karl Sims created artworks based on artificial evolution. New technologies, and in particular artificial intelligence, are drastically changing the nature of creative processes. Computers are playing very significant roles in creative activities such as music, architecture, fine arts, and science. Indeed, the computer is already a canvas, a brush, a musical instrument, and so on. However, we believe that we must aim at more ambitious relations between computers and creativity. Rather than just seeing the computer as a tool to help human creators, we could see it as a creative entity in its own right. This view has triggered a new subfield of Artificial Intelligence called Computational Creativity. 6  Expressionist artist Barnett Newman’s famous 1947 essay The First Man was an Artist presents the primordial being as an artist. “Man’s first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication. Original man, shouting his consonants, did so in yells of awe and anger at his tragic state, at his own self- awareness and at his own helplessness before the void.” In the next paragraph Newman writes of art as power: “Man’s first cry was a song. Man’s first address to a neighbour was a cry of power and solemn weakness, not a request for a drink of water.” Art is an expression of our lives and therefore is inherently meaningful. Art has the power to both constrain and expand the meaning we give life. Artistic meanings interpret the void, the tragic state that Barnett Newman prefaces. But power is portrayed with a different mathematics outside of art. In politics power is not just what X & Y mean but also power is what X can do to Y or vice versa. Vocabularies of power, therefore, include both meaning-making and instrumental and transactional aspects of what humans do to each other. Seen this way, the meanings and instruments of art contain both negative and positive values. 7 For example, art can include poetic expressions of freedom or fascistic expressions of grandeur. Giuseppe Verdi’s choruses from operas such as Nabucco and I Lombardi roused the Milanese masses to seek freedom from Austrian rule and helped with unification or Risorgimento in the mid-19th century. Before World War II, Leni Riefenstahl’s film Triumph of Will on Hitler’s created the grandeur of a (narcissistic) man and spectacular crowd scenes now often associated with fascism. Closer to our time, twenty-two years old Amanda Gorman’s poetry at President Joseph Biden’s inauguration evoked cascades of history to evoke light, “if only we’re brave enough to see it/ If only we’re brave enough to be it.” Four years earlier, President Donald Trump evoked dark images of an American Carnage in the less-than-poetic words of his inaugural address. Art is multivalence, but at the core of that enterprise is the artist. Art is often thought of as the expression of one’s creativity, emotions, and experiences. No matter if you are the creator or consumer of art, there is an element of freedom or agency. The reality is that art and arts communities exist within societal, regulatory, and economic hierarchies. The hierarchies and power that impact art, and artists, include government structures, communication networks, educational restrictions, and financial infrastructure. How artists navigate within and ultimately impact these structures has lasting impacts on culture, expression, and institutions. 8  In this issue of Arts & International Affairs the question of how power and hierarchy interact with art and arts communities is explored. Sometimes this interaction brings about positive developments, allowing art to take new forms or reach new heights. Other times, power and hierarchy result in art for societal change and empower individuals to action. Regardless, these hierarchies and the power within them can also be limiting, impacting artist’s abilities to carry out their visions or silencing certain artistic voices that do not fit specific artistic trends or norms. Taking a closer look at the way in which power and hierarchies interact with art and artistic communities can bring about a stronger understanding not only of the progression of art and culture but also the way in which art and culture impact aspects of society and human life that often seem removed from creative endeavors. Global influences will always have tension with local cultures and practices, and hierarchies in art will choose those who win and lose. Even so, art will continue to be an expression of emotion and liberty, even if it is shaped by forces the seem at odds with its very essence. 9  HOW OBJECTS BECOME “ART” Art is made by the theory of art which is in turn made by at the art world. Art is what the art world accepts. The concept of the “artworld”—one word—was taken up later by the aesthetician George Dickie who suggested a more complex theory of art that rested upon the institution, which was known as the “institutional theory of art.” As Dickie pointed out later, the artworld was at the heart of the institutional theory. “A work of art in the classificatory sense is (1) an artifact (2) a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or some persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution (the artworld).” -George Dickie (2009) For the philosopher the artist and the audience were the necessary elements of the institution’s framework. The artist is aware that what she is producing is art and the audience is aware that what he is looking at is art. In addition to these two major actors are what Dickie call “supplementary” actors: critics, curators, teachers, directors, and dealers, all of whom are part of the institution. All of these agents and their acts are governed by rules. These “rules” are conventions. 10  Firstly, there is his concept of roles and rules, which clarifies the significance of conventions in making an art world system operate; secondly, there is his emphasis on the essential role of the public, a public which exists as a more or less prepared addressee of the artist’s activity. -George Dickie (2009) The modernist or traditional perspective was that art was eternal and absolutely recognizable and independent of the system of cultural production. An institution cannot make art, only an artist can make art. Art comes, not from a site of production but from art itself. Only an artist makes art. However, starting with the belated recognition of the importance of Duchamp, from Neo-Dada to Pop to Minimalism to Conceptual Art, it became clear that the the two hundred year definition of art was untenable. Art was relative, contingent, and dependent upon the existence of institutional space. The art institution was more than a physical one of museums and galleries, it was also a product of reading about art by an art audience, writing about art by art historians and art critics and current conversations about art–art discourse, all of which contributed to the “making” of an artist or a work of art through naming and designation. With the work of these two writers, “art” was disconnected from its traditional moorings—beauty and Greek art. Suddenly art could be anything; an artist could be anyone; the audience could be everyone; art could be anywhere. All the “institution” had to do was to acknowledge the presence of the artifact and “art” was “made.”  TEDxDiliman - Lourd de Veyra - Art, Art Ka Diyan! https://yout u.be/R4CI R_nzMZA INSTITUTIONAL THEORY THE ARTWORLD George Dickie & Arthur Danto People in the position of power artists art critics Art is an art historians/educators institution art patrons/curators in the society art museums/galleries schools/clubs “ARTWORLD” art awards recognitions/popularity art journals TV/newspapers 12 For something to become art is like for someone to become a dentist or an Elementary Graduate engineer, must pass all the standards set by the How to school as an institution be an High School Graduate engineer?

CAPARAS ART OR NON-ART? Named by Pres. Arroyo in 2009 as National Artist of the Philippines for Visual Art and Film, amidst protest mostly from the academic sector. The Supreme Court nullified the proclamation of Caparas in 2013. 26  POINT OF VIEW OF THE INTELLIGENSIA CLASS President Arroyo has recently declared former security guard turned Filipino comic strip creator/writer-turned director and producer Magno Jose “Carlo” J. Caparas as National Artist for a new & “mixed” category she herself created, “Visual Arts & Film.” GMA’s choice of Caparas though was not surprising since Mrs. Arroyo’s rise to power itself was a work of fiction. In last week’s protest action, Armida Siguion-Reyna said she didn’t want to address her message to Carlo J. Caparas because “mahina ang kanyang ulo,” to which his wife, Donna Villa said, “Mahina man ang ulo, malakas naman sa pangulo.” “Mr. Caparas, this is Dr. Butch Dalisay, director of the UP Institute of Creative Writing, UP College of Arts and Letters. Allow me please to share my thoughts on your controversial palace-backed recognition. But before I say my piece, may thesaurus o dictionary ka ba sa tabi mo? You’ll need one.” “Carlo, si Joel Lamangan ‘to. Walang personalan huh pero… hindi ko keri ang award mo! Maloloka ako sa ‘yo!” POINT OF VIEW OF INTELLIGENSIA CLASS Complaints regarding Caparas' proclamation centered on the complaints that he did not illustrate the comic books he wrote and was therefore not qualified for the honor under visual arts, and the assertion of protesting artists that his work in the category of Film is supposedly "sub-par", being largely "pito-pito"(literally, "seven-seven"; films rush-finished in seven days), and "massacre films" whose focus was sensational crimes. POINT OF VIEW OF CAPARAS Caparas said that instead of criticizing his award, entertainment people "should unite and work together to revive the ailing movie and komiks industry." He attributed his win to the fact that he managed to cross over from comic books to film and television, and saying that his triumph was significant because he was a National Artist who came from the working class.... "I am a National Artist who came from the masses", the Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted him as saying. "I work and struggle with them." He said it was time for a National Artist "who the masses can identify with—someone who walks beside them, someone who can inspire them." Noting that some Filipinos did not even know the National Artists he said "Hopefully, since I am still active in TV and in the movies, this will encourage our countrymen to learn more about our National Artists." 27  IS SHE A GREAT WRITER?

Concept/Principle 31  Can you determine which among the pictures are functional and nonfunctional arts? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Functional Art ▪ Refers to aesthetic objects that serves utilitarian (practical/useful) purpose. ▪ Can include many different things i.e. furniture, lighting, dishes and ever books. ▪ Infuses aesthetics ideals into things that you might never have expected to view as art. ▪ Serves a purpose other than being aesthetically pleasing. Nonfunctional Art ▪ Encompasses paintings, sculptures and all manner of fine art. ▪ Pieces of arts that usually seek to engage with the viewer on an intellectual, emotional or aesthetic level. 32  Occupying that tenuous space between fine art and the everyday, functional art refers to aesthetic objects that serve utilitarian purposes. The genre is remarkably inclusive: it encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and even books. While the terms "fine" or "high" art typically apply to works that carry an intellectual and emotional sensibility alongside a dose of old- fashioned beauty, functional art infuses these aesthetic ideals into things that you might never have expected to view as art, like, say, a switchblade. From an art historical perspective, you could say that functional art is the inverse of Marcel Duchamp's famous readymades, where he transformed utilitarian objects—a urinal, a bottle rack, etc.— into conceptual artworks by fiat: it became art because he said it was. Functional artworks, on the contrary, are highly crafted artistic creations that can perform utilitarian jobs, but that collector's might prefer to keep on the display shelf. (Why use an expensive artist-made hammer to drive in a nail when a hardware-store version will do?) Today many functional art objects are as avidly acquired by collectors as their fine-art brethren, and are appreciated just as much for their beauty as their use value. Ancient Chinese vases, for example, while still capable of performing their originally intended function (displaying flowers), are prized for their historic and aesthetic value more than anything else. To help you navigate this unusual category, we've created a list of some of functional art's most significant artists and movements. 33  WHAT IS ART FOR ? FUNCTION What is a pencil for?

Concept/Principle 45  What emotion do you see from this two abstract expressionism art? Marina Abramović ___________________(I)(1963). © Marina Abramović. Courtesy of the Marina Abramović Archives. VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2017. Abstract Expressionism is a term applied to a movement in American painting that flourished in New York City after World War II, sometimes referred to as the New York School or, more narrowly, as action painting. The varied work produced by the Abstract Expressionists resists definition as a cohesive style; instead, these artists shared an interest in using abstraction to convey strong emotional or expressive content. Abstract Expressionism is best known for large-scale paintings that break away from traditional processes, often taking the canvas off of the easel and using unconventional materials such as house paint. While Abstract Expressionism is often considered for its advancements in painting, its ideas had deep resonance in many mediums, including drawing and sculpture. In many paintings under the movement of Abstract Expressionism an expression of reality is expressed in a non-representational statement with line, colour and size as well as the aggressive mingling of colours, shapes and forms that creates a painting of pure thought and emotion. 46  Action Painting One of the main tenets of Abstract Expressionism was the evasion of a collective style. Each artist painted in his or her own way, developing individual, signature styles. Recognizing this diversity of process of painting that allows the artists collectively in a way that highlighted their motivations instead of the way their paintings looked. ▪ Action Painting emphasized the revolutionary nature of the artist's decision to paint. ▪ Action Painting is predicated on the idea that the creative process involves a dialogue between the artist and the canvas. ▪ Action Painters were not interested in depicting illusionistic scenes but rendering the energy and movement of life in a visible way on the canvas. ▪ What resulted on the canvas was "not a picture but an event.“ ▪ Just as the artist affects the canvas by making a mark on it, that mark in turn affects the artist and determines the trajectory of the next mark. ▪ "Each stroke had to be a decision and was answered by a new question." While spontaneity is key to Action Painting, it is always within the parameters of this dialogue. 47  ACTION THEORY Style of Abstract Expressionism by Jackson Pollock “ACTION PAINTING” Harold Rosenberg, 1952 Artist Product “The canvas began to appear as an arena in which to act…. What was to go on the canvas is not a picture but an event.” ACTION = ART ART OF PAINTING “Painting” is a verb, The process of putting, dripping, pouring not a noun and splashing paints on the canvas. 48 Lesson 2.
