Abstract

The book "Media and the mind: art, science, and notebooks as paper machines, 1700–1830" by Matthew Daniel Eddy explores the cognitive challenges faced by Scottish children and students during the eighteenth century. The book examines how these individuals used notebooks as paper machines to learn various skills, such as writing, drawing, and understanding anatomy. Eddy's research highlights the different notekeeping practices and cognitive habits that emerged in different educational environments. The book also delves into the material aspects of notebooks and their impact on cognitive processes. Overall, the book offers valuable insights into the historical development of cognitive faculties and the interactions between individuals, their environments, and technology.

Abstract

Much has been written on Video, or more precisely magnetic recording and playback, since its encroachment into mainstream consumer pathways in the late 1970s (although its technological basis can be traced back to 1893 with Valdemar Poulsen and the Telegraphon device): Roy Armes with his I On Video i (1988), Sean Cubitt with I Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture i (1993) and then later forays such as James Moran, I There's No Place Like Home Video i (2002) all offer fascinating select accounts of the technology. Rewind, Replay: Britain and the Video Boom, 1978-92: JOHNNY WALKER, 2022, Edinburgh, UK, Edinburgh University Press, pp. xi + 253, illus., £19.99 (paper) Chapter two then moves into further developmental aspects of the British Video "boom" exploring the beginnings of the video shop and its positioning within a larger British economic framework.

19. The Mortal Queen of Faerie Smut: Sarah J. Maas writes massively popular books that mix fantasy lore with soft-core romance--and a whole lot of trauma.

Author

VANARENDONK, KATHRYN

Subjects
*FANTASY (Psychology), *ART materials
Abstract

Sarah J. Maas is a popular author known for her fantasy novels that combine elements of romance and trauma. Her books, including the "Throne of Glass" and "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series, have sold millions of copies and are frequently discussed on social media platforms. Maas's novels often feature faeries, humans with the potential to become faeries, and themes of authoritarianism and the hero's journey. They also contain explicit sex scenes, which go beyond typical young adult fiction. Maas's work has contributed to the rise of the "romantasy" genre, which blends romance and fantasy elements. Her books prioritize the exploration of trauma and the healing process, making them relatable to readers in today's cultural climate. Despite occasional inconsistencies in world-building, Maas's novels are beloved by fans who appreciate their immersive storytelling and emotional depth. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Paik's Virtual Archive: Time, Change, and Materiality in Media Art, by Conservation has always helped cut a particular cloth in terms of identity and meaning, and part of Hölling's quest is to understand the limits to the changes that conservation effects, and how such changes impact an artwork's continuing identity. Where Laurenson and Hölling are nuanced in understanding that allographic works can also contain persistent autographic elements, importantly Goodman understood all arts as initially autographic (including music), but only until the creation of a system of notation that enables their reproduction, however unlikely it might appear to be.

Abstract

The fifth publication in the Getty Conservation Institute's (GCI) series, I The Artist's Materials i is dedicated to the American artist Sam Francis. In the case of Francis, the book makes accessible not only the beauty of what we see as the final image of the artwork, but also the fascinating complexity of what is behind it. It also contains archival photographs of the different studio settings where the artworks were created and of the materials used by Sam Francis as well as images of the artist at work, which, as we learn from the authors, are rare, since he didn't like very much to be observed while working.
