In my early years teaching art in the UK, I worked three days in a row in a uni around 60 miles from where I lived. To save money I slept in the studios. Worked well for one year till I was caught.

I am also sure that I am describing the neurobiology of vision, though I would love to know more about it. Such preferences need to come from somewhere. For example, I have always thought that the popularity of the vignette derives from the

Good point. I do indeed do this in my personal searches. But much of my searching is in front of students. As an art/design teacher, image search has become an invaluable part of my teaching. Much of this is ‘performative’… searching w

Not at all a coder, but a painter. Ever now and then I loose the allure of my profusion. What usually brings it back is a change of medium (e.g. from oil painting to digital painting, or from large paintings to small ones). I guess that tra

Some interesting work on the visionary writings of the 12th century Abbess Hildegard of Bingham. Her visions are now being understood as manifestations of migraines. I believe Oliver Saks was the first to understand them in this way. https

I think the limits for appropriation in art production are defined by intentions. We fairly assume that Soderburgs intentions were good. The contemporary British artist Glen Brown makes exact copies of paintings that he admires, yet they se

Cimino was a painter before being a film maker. I think that this is the reason he had so much trouble closing on shots. He expected to have the same amount of control over the camera as he had over canvas. Having used both mediums I empath
