Laura Molloy
Laura Molloy is an artist and researcher based at the Ruskin School of Art and the Oxford Internet Institute, both at the University of Oxford. She is interested in creative practice both actively and theoretically. Her doctoral project investigates the digital curation practices of visual artists. In her current project she builds on her previous academic research at the University of Glasgow into how artists use the internet to support their practice and will look specifically at the artistic and economic value of the internet in the working practices of today’s visual artists.

Outi Somervuori
Outi Somervuori is a researcher, consultant and educator in pricing. She has previously worked as a researcher at Aalto University School of Business and Stanford University. In her studies Somervuori has examined the psychological aspects of buyers’ behaviour in relation to pricing, how customers see prices, process the price information and react to changes in prices. Her arcticles have been published in international journals on marketing. She has extensive experience in price management in service businesses both in Finland and abroad.

Teemu Mäki
Teemu Mäki is an artist, director, writer and researcher. He is a Doctor of Fine Arts (Finnish Academy of Fine arts 2005). Since 1990 he has been an independent, freelancing artist, except for the years 2008–2013, when he was the Professor of Fine Arts in Aalto University.

Mäki describes his activities in the following way: I work in the fields of art, philosophy and politics by whatever means necessary. The results are usually some kind of visual art, literature, theatre, film or theory. For me art is the most flexible, versatile and holistic form of philosophy and politics.

Mäki has had 51 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 200 group shows. He has written six books and six plays and directed theatre pieces, films and operas.

ABSTRACT:
This research asks the simple question: Do images make buildings? More specifically, it asks how. The research question is addressed via four articles, published in peer-reviewed journals from 2013 to 2016. Each looks at a different aspect of the question, including: visual conventions, visualising atmosphere, photography as visual data, and the repeatability of these experiments. In addition, the dissertation includes extensive photography section that both illustrates the texts as well as dialoguing with them.

A brief description of each article follows.

‘Nine Facts About Conventions in Architectural Photography’ published in the Nordic Journal of Architectural Research (NJAR 1/2014).

This study is one of the first to use content analysis of images as a means of interpreting architectural discourse. Nine facts were extracted from a detailed analysis of images that appeared in 3493 pages of the Finnish Architectural Review (ARK) between 1912 and 2012. Close attention was paid to the types of images used repeatedly in order to focus on key editorial and photographic decisions. Editorial decisions consisted of type, size, chromatic scale and number of images. Photographic decisions consisted of human presence, weather, depth-of-field and camera orientation for interior and exterior photographs. Data, which quantifies the frequency of each type of image, indicates that there is a strong reliance on visual conventions in ARK. When considering the limited range of images used in the publication, it becomes clear there is little correlation between the complexity of architectural language and environments and the simplicity of its depiction. That discrepancy suggests there is a need for research and development in the field of architectural photography in order to better inform readers about the diversity of architectural practices.

‘A Hinge: Field-testing the Relationship Between Photography and Architecture, in the Journal of Artistic Research (JAR 3/ 2013).

This article seeks to share the methods and preliminary results of an artistic research project in the field of architectural photography. A central concern is the representation of atmosphere in place of the standard depiction of objects. Important also is an attempt at co-design through an interview process with architects based on the notion of the dialectic. This aspect of the study is important not only for this experiment itself but is also crucial for analysing the scalability of practices pursued in this investigation. Findings include excerpts from interviews and examples of photographs. More than just a project about photographic practices, however, this study is part of a larger investigation into the relationship that has developed between photography and architecture, focussing especially on Finland and Denmark, and the institutional practices of architects, publishers and photographers working in collaboration.

‘Architecture’s Discursive Space: Photography’, currently in peer review for the book ‘Visual Methodologies in Architectural Research’, due to be published by Intellect in 2016.

Ultimately, I conclude that conventional architectural photography is reliant upon one atmosphere – the blue and white of eternal summer that has replaced the black and white photography that came before it. A simple system of visual categorisation through grids became my working method for dealing with terabytes of data in the form of photographs. The grid, it is argued, is at the core of architectural depiction, with origins in Renaissance treatises. As a contemporary editing system, however, grids make it easy to spot patterns in purchased / published images, and cross-check statements made in interviews and in writing with photographic statements.

 ‘Grey Matter’, to be published in the first 2016 edition of the International Journal of Education through Art.

It was important to test the repeatability of this research. Could others use atmospheres as a system for classifying images? Is it useful to look at conventional photography as one such atmosphere? Could the classroom be used as a research lab to test the viability of non-conventional atmospheres in the world of architecture. The second phase of the nine-month course ended in a highly successful exhibition and talk at the Finnish Museum of Architecture. The course and exhibition were called Grey Matter because images sought to reflect the lived experience of autumnal Helsinki, testing claims that good architecture must be shown in good weather.

Findings in this research challenge received wisdom about ‘objective’ photography of architecture. They suggest the need for scrutiny of conventionalised practises and argue for an expanded field of architectural photography. That new architectural photography would be informed by the notion of atmosphere and its categorisation into a panoply of responses to site conditions.

The architectural atmosphere sine qua non, known as objective photography, is taught in schools and enforced through repeated global publication. This research suggests that interdisciplinary courses between photography and architecture departments might disrupt the current beliefs and practices of educators and publishers alike. This dissertation argues in favour of such a disruption.

TERVETULOA VÄITÖSTILAISUUTEEN 

MA Marc Goodwin esittää tarkastettavaksi väitöskirjansa Architecture’s Discursive Space: Photography perjantaina 30 syyskuuta 2016, klo 12–14. Tilaisuus järjestetään Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulussa: Hämeentie 135 C, ls. 822, 8. krs, 00560, Helsinki, FI. Vastaväittäjänä toimii yliopistolehtori Niclas Östlind, University of Göteborg. Kustoksena on professori Merja Salo Aalto-yliopiston median laitokselta.

Keskustelu käydään englanniksi.

Valokuvaaja Marc Goodwinin tutkimuksessa etsitään vastausta kysymykseen, miten valokuvat luovat mielikuvaa rakennuksista ja arkkitehtuurista. Tuottavatko kuvat rakennuksia, ja millä tavoin ne sen tekevät?

Vastausta hahmotellaan eri näkökulmista neljässä artikkelissa, jotka on julkaistu vuosina 2013–2016 vertaisarvioiduissa tiedejulkaisuissa. Ensimmäisessä artikkelissa kuvataan arkkitehtuurivalokuvauksen kuvallisten konventioiden historiallista muotoutumista Suomessa Arkkitehti-lehdessä vuosina 1912-2012 julkaistujen valokuvien avulla. Kuvien analyysi osoittaa, että vain pientä osaa valokuvauksen ilmaisukeinoista on käytetty kuvattaessa arkkitehtuuria. Samalla avautuu kysymys siitä, voisiko arkkitehtuurivalokuvauksen visuaalista palettia monipuolistaa.

Toisessa artikkelissa on tutkittu arkkitehtien käsityksiä hyvästä arkkitehtuurivalokuvasta haastattelemalla pohjoismaisia arkkitehtejä. Esiin nousee ajatus atmosfääristä eli tunnelmasta ja sen tuottamisesta valokuvauksen keinoin.

Kolmannessa artikkelissa Goodwin kokeilee ruudukon eli gridin käyttöä sekä kuva-aineiston hallinnan että analyysin välineenä. Gridi on keskeinen työkalu ja käsite niin arkkitehtuurissa kuin valokuvauksessakin, ja sen avulla voidaan luoda siltaa arkkitehtien ja valokuvaajien erillisten diskurssien eli keskusteluavaruuksien välille.

Neljäs artikkeli testaa atmosfäärin ja gridin käsitteitä käytännössä ja kuvaa opetuskokeilua, jossa arkkitehtuurin ja valokuvauksen opiskelijoiden yhteisellä kurssilla etsittiin uudenlaisia, rakennuksen ympäristön ja vuodenajan paremmin huomioivia kuvaustapoja. Kurssin tulokset esitettiin näyttelynä Suomen rakennustaiteen museossa.

Marc Goodwin on englantilainen, arkkitehtuuriin erikoistunut valokuvaaja. Väitöskirja sisältää laajan, tekstejä havainnollistavan ja niiden kanssa keskustelevan kuva-aineiston.

OPEN FIELDS Conference and Exhibition
in the framework of RIXC Art Science Festival 2016
Riga, September 29 – October 1, 2016
Venue:The National Library of Latvia

Open Fields is the title of this year’s international conference taking place in the framework of the annual RIXC Art Science festival in Riga. It brings together international scholars and artists, working at the intersection of arts, humanities and science. Open Fields will focus on artistic research, the changing role of arts, its transformative potential, and relation to the sciences. This call for participation invites contributions and conference paper proposals by scholars, artists, artists-researchers, art and media theorists, data designers and critical engineers, as well as doctoral students, and scientists from different Fields – biology, ecology, environment, digital technologies, renewable energy, etc., who are engaged in experiencing the transformative potential of arts.

For the exhibition and conference, we are looking for research that is located in the contested territory between academic knowledge production and independent creative practices. Open Fields will be investigating the use of data visualizations and other mappings of the contemporary. It will look into areas such as open commons, the future of social interaction, data representation and visualisation, critical design, sustainable infrastructures, eco-aesthetics, techno-ecologies, bio-hacking and other techniques of a transformative potential. No Field is excluded, yet there should always be a connection with art; it is highly likely that art works and conference papers will touch on several Fields, not one. It is such an enhanced understanding of transdisciplinarity that drives this undertaking.

Research Questions: How art and other creative practices can meaningfully contribute to the environmental, technological and scientific challenges of our time? What kind of new knowledge can be created through artistic practice that collaborates with science, technology and other disciplines? And how to deal with contemporary aesthetics, which has undergone dramatic changes during the past decades and keeps changing again as influenced by current post-media situation, data visualization and other contemporary conditions?

The Conference also will feature “Playing Fields” session on contemporary taxonomy, maintaining a connection between the exhibition and the conference. It also will include “Open Fields – Book Review” (PechaKucha) session, providing an opportunity for the speakers to present their new books for other participants and the audience.

* Conference keynote speakers:

* Exhibition: The Open Fields conference will be complemented by the exhibition taking place in the new Exhibition Hall of the National Library of Latvia. Partly curated, partly peer-reviewed, the Exhibition will represent works by artists, artists-researchers and data designers, who are challenging the notion of art and contemporary aesthetics by moving across, bringing together and converging different knowledge, various media and diverse Fields, as well as using scientific, cultural and social data as new artistic medium, and interpreting them in a new and meaningful ways.
The Exhibition will be open from September 29 – November 6, 2016.

* Proceeding: The papers will be published in conference proceeding, which will come out in the Acoustic Space, peer-reviewed journal & book series. The call for full paper submissions will be announced during the conference.

Footnotes

The First Note for a Source

In the text:

Note identifiers should be placed at the end of a sentence, and follow any punctuation marks (but precede a dash). If you use a long quotation (more than three lines of text), the note identifier should be placed at the end of the quotation.

Lake points out that a division began in the latter half of the nineteenth century with the doctrine of ‘separate spheres’.1

At the foot of the page:

When you reference a source for the first time, you must provide all the necessary information to enable the reader to locate the source.

  1. You should provide bibliographic information (information about the source). This includes:
  • author(s) initial(s) and surname(s)
  • name of the article, book or journal
  • editors (if applicable)
  • publisher name and location
  • year published
  1. You should give exact page numbers if your reference is a direct quotation, a paraphrase, an idea, or is otherwise directly drawn from the source.

1 M Lake, ‘Intimate strangers’ in Making a Life: a People’s History of Australia Since 1788, V. Burgman and J. Lee (eds), Penguin, Victoria, 1988, p. 155.

Note Formatting

  • Titles of publications should be italicised.
  • Use minimal capitalisation for publication titles and for journal or book article titles.
  • Article titles should be enclosed between single quotation marks.
  • Use commas to separate each item of the citation and end with a full stop.

Second & Subsequent Notes

Second and subsequent references to the same source don’t need to be as detailed as the first note—they just need the minimum information to clearly indicate which text is being referred to.

With a single author provide all the necessary information in the first note. If you want to refer to the same source again, a simple method is to give the author’s name, the year of publication and the page number. For example:

1 I Reid, Higher Education or Education for Hire? Language and Values in Australian Universities, CQU Press, Rockhampton, 1996, p. 87.

2 …

3 Reid, p. 98.

If two or more works by the same author are referred to in the text, include the title:

1 E Gaskell, North and South, Penguin, Harmondsworth, 1970, p. 228.

2 E Gaskell, The Life of Charlotte Brontë, Penguin, Harmondsworth, 1975, p. 53.

3 Gaskell, North and South, p. 222.

Subsequent references to articles are done in a similar way:

17 M Doyle, ‘Captain Mbaye Diagne’, Granta, vol. 48, August 1994, pp. 99-103.

18 …

19 Doyle, Granta, p. 101.
