The authors explore the role that public and land-grant universities play in sciences, engineering, arts and design (SEAD). They combine a networked institutional history of art and technology collaborations with an ethnographic study of SEAD initiatives. They use the notion of land-grant hybrids to describe widespread entanglements between research, teaching and public engagement. Their study identifies three “matters of concern” that aid in rethinking the origins, current practices and possible futures of SEAD: disparities in sponsored collaboration, the need for hybrid practitioners to demonstrate measurable impact and the ambiguities of what counts as appropriate art and reputable research.

Current Practices

The Future of Art Bibliography (FAB) initiative developed out of various conversations among colleagues in the United States and Europe. Events in the art historical community, including limited funding resources for art libraries and projects internationally, and the cessation of the Getty’s support for the production of the Bibliography of the history of art (BHA) provided the catalyst for the Kress Foundation grant to the Getty Research Institute. A series of international meetings of art librarians, art historians, publishers and information specialists ensued. The goal was to review current practices, take stock of changes, and seriously consider developing more sustainable and collaborative ways of supporting the bibliography of art history in the future.

Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) is an organization co-founded in 1966 by artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman, and engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhauer, in order to support collaboration between artists and engineers. The E.A.T. datascape is a digital instrument for analyzing the digitized traces left by its members via many available resources. Its aim is to study as closely as possible the complexity of collaborative interdisciplinary works. The E.A.T. datascape methodology makes it possible, by means of an anthropological action-centred approach, to go beyond the distinction between art history and art sociology and to renew the social history of art by challenging the notion of authorship and by describing the work as constituted by the intersection between heterogeneous trajectories, rather than an object within a context that would influence it, or constitute its environment. In other words, it allows us to reflect on what digital design does, in turn, to the social history of art, and to put forward hypotheses about what a digital social history of art might be or could offer to the study of complex, interdisciplinary projects that are multiplying in the contemporary art world.

Efficient Level

One hundred and fifty years ago, the 1862 Morrill Land Grant Act was signed into law. Wise people at that time recognized that the private market for education failed to produce an efficient level of education decades before the economic theory was developed to explain that market failures reduce efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to review the history of selected events that resulted in the development of publicly funded U.S. educational institutions and to issue a challenge for our profession to do a better job of educating about the theoretical justification for using tax dollars to support university education and agricultural research and the efficiency enhancing consequences of that use.

Este artículo intenta describir críticamente la exhibición metadATA: 20 años de cultura, arte y tecnología, muestra antológica de la organización Alta Tecnología Andina (ATA), presentada del 3 al 30 de junio del 2016 en el Centro Cultural Ricardo Palma de la Municipalidad de Miraflores. Este proyecto buscaba decantar, a partir de seis hitos temáticos en su historia desde su fundación, en los años noventa, una parte importante de la historia del arte y la tecnología en el Perú. En primer lugar, presentamos una breve historia del contexto histórico y la necesidad de producir esta muestra. Luego analizamos el concepto curatorial, así como las seis cápsulas de información propuestas. Posteriormente, incidimos sobre la museografía y el diseño de la exhibición, y los dispositivos tecnológicos empleados. Concluimos con un análisis sobre la complejidad conceptual en relación con la práctica curatorial en archivos y su nivel de objetividad en el presente.  Palabras clave: curaduría, archivos, museografía, Perú, exhibición, arte, tecnología   AbstractThis article tries to critically review the exhibition “metadATA: 20 years of culture, art and technology”, an anthological exhibition of the work done by Alta Tecnología Andina (ATA). It was showed from the 3rd to 30th of June 2016 at the Centro Cultural Ricardo Palma of the Miraflores City Council. This exhibition sought to showcase, from six thematic milestones, a relevant part of the history of art and technology in Peru since the 1990s. First we give a brief history on the historical context and the need to present such exhibition. Then we analyze the curatorial concept as well as the organization of the six information capsules. Subsequently, we focus on the museography and the exhibition design as well as the importance of the technological devices. We conclude with an analysis the philosophical complexity of the producing curatorial work of previously curated work and the relevance in the present.

Porcelain Manufacture

Abstract The Risāla dar tafṣīl-i sākhtan-i chīnī (A Treatise on Porcelain Manufacture) is a Qajar-period manuscript in Persian, housed at the Sipahsalar Library in Tehran. It is the only known source that details the modern technology of porcelain production in the Qajar era (1789–1925). According to the information in the colophon, the scribe, Masih ibn Muhammad Baqir al-Firuzabadi, completed the manuscript in the year 1284 (1868). The text mentions that it is the translation of a French work, but no further reference to the original book is given. The purpose of this essay is to introduce and review the Persian manuscript, to reveal its relation to the three-volume Traité des arts céramiques ou des poteries (Treatise on Ceramic Arts or Potteries) by Alexandre Brongniart, a nineteenth-century scientist and director of the Sèvres Porcelain Factory, and to underline its importance to the history of art and technology in Qajar Iran.

Perception Of Time

For Gilles Deleuze's two essays ‘Causes and Reasons of Desert Islands’ and ‘Michel Tournier and the World Without Others’, the crucial question is what the perception is, what its fundamental conditions are. A desert island can be a place to experiment on this question. The types of perception are described in many critical works about the history of art and aesthetical reflections by artists. So I will try to retrace some types of perception especially linked to the ‘haptic’, the importance of which was rediscovered by Deleuze. The ‘haptic’ proposes a type of perception not linked to space, but to time in its aspects of genesis. And something incorporeal has to intervene in a very original stage of perception and of perception of time. Thus we will be able to capture some links between the fundamental aspects of perception and time in its ‘out of joint’ aspects (Aion).
