Landscape-Portrait (2007)〔Main project website can be found here: http://www.landscape-portrait.com〕 is a public digital artwork that has been touring around the UK since its launch in 2007. In 2007 public arts agency Forma〔http://www.forma.org.uk/archive/2007/public-realm-projects/vital-signs〕 commissioned the work as part of a series of public art works for the Dott Festival (Design Of The Times) Newcastle, UK.〔see: http://www.redesigndesign.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=361%3A-dott-07-festival&catid=38%3Aoctober-2007&Itemid=53〕 == Methodologies and practice == The artwork was conceived by Kevin Carter〔http://www.co-lab.org/downloads/Kevin_Carter_CV_08.zip〕 and produced by in association with Forma, SCAN,〔See Scan's website here: http://www.scansite.org/scan.php〕 web designer Pete McDonagh〔see examples of his work here: www.codesign.it〕 and d|Lab at the University of Teesside〔http://www.tees.ac.uk/〕 and features collaborations with artists and practitioners across the UK. These included: Tony White,〔http://www.electra-productions.com/projects/2011/dirty_literature/white_audio.shtml 〕 Diane Humphries,〔Diane’s images can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26208701@N08/〕 Craig Gilbert,〔Craig is a community worker who runs the Townsend community website at: www.townsend.com〕 Richard Jeffery, Steve Lewis, Helen Sloan,〔Helen Sloan commissioned Landscape-portrait in Bournemouth and runs arts agency SCAN: www.scansite.org〕 Media19〔Media19’s work can be seen here: http://www.media19.co.uk/ 〕 and Karin Coetzee.〔Karin’s photographs can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11928089@N04/page3/〕 Landscape-Portrait investigates how postcode demographics, as represented by the Acorn System〔http://www.caci.co.uk/acorn-classification.aspx〕 might reinforce certain stereotypes of communities across the UK. The work hopes to promote a dialogue around the possible effects this practice entails, for example in around social service provision, types of commercial investment undertaken as well as personal decision making, all of which arguably exacerbates a reductive perception of person and place, potentially at odds with an experience on the ground. In response to the reductive methodology of demographics the work makes use of public art practices in combination with digital technologies to author a complimentary dataset, with which to critique a purely statistical understanding of person and place. Participants are interviewed online and offline using a standard questionnaire which is based on that used by the Census. The revised questionnaire employs a subjective reasoning as opposed to an objective one that used by the Census. For example where the Census questionnaire asks how many people the recipient lives with, the Landscape-Portrait questionnaire asks “How do you get on living with the people in your house?”.〔See full questionnaire here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16463134/questionnaire.pdf〕 The resulting data - video, text, meta data, image - will be made available under a creative commons license, allowing it to be reused by other practitioners, aligning it to ideas about public arts relationship with use〔See Lacy, S. Mapping the terrain : New Genre Public Art. Seattle, Wash., Bay Press. (1995) and Sutherland, A. Grizedale Arts. Locating the Producers. Arnolfini, Bristol, UK. (2010) for a discussion of 'use' value in public art.〕 and legacy〔See Nina Pope’s description of legacy as the ‘long tail’ audience for the work, in that audiences can engage long after the public art project has finished. See ‘Searching for Art's New Publics’, 2010〕 value. Landscape-Portrait is an example of a digital public artwork which derives from a practice which makes use of digital technologies and community focused public art practices.〔For a more complete discussion of this practice see: http://darc.imv.au.dk/publicinterfaces/?p=109〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landscape-Portrait」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
