Black-boxed ecologies
Urban public art increasingly operates as an aesthetic interface through which sociotechnical systems of ecological governance and public legitimacy are made visible or obscured. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Urban Political Ecology (UPE), black-boxing is used here as a diagnostic framework for examining how aesthetic form stabilizes environmental knowledge, political authority, and distinct urban ecological imaginaries thro…
‘Digital Art History
This article is an analysis of research practices carried out in the field of Digital Art History through comparative approaches with the methods of both Art Historiography and Social Sciences. The aim is to show that the in literature highlighted association of Digital Art History with Social and Data Sciences due to the application of empirical methods and data-driven research, which would mark the beginning of a new paradigm in Art Historiogra…
The Artistic Status of Bio-art
This paper aims to define Bio-art by strengthening its artistic status through two distinct approaches. The first is based on the acceptance that the concept of Bio-art includes both the term “art” and the term “bio” that could stand for Biology, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. It is argued that despite its direct connection to scientific research, Bio-art is only partly linked to the methods of the pure science of Biology, while it stands closer t…
Art and Science in Franz Marc’s Animal Iconography
There has been a theory claiming that innovative artists have always created the appropriate atmosphere for forthcoming scientists to develop important hypotheses about the world. In this paper, the animal iconography of Franz Marc is discussed under the perspective of the achievements of modern ethology and its modified anthropomorphic approaches to animals that seem to have much in common with the empathetic attitudes of Marc, as shown both in …
Depictions of Sunsets as Information Sources
This paper presents a critical approach to a scientific project conducted by a group of natural scientists at the National Observatory of Athens, in which artworks depicting sunsets were used as sources of scientific information on atmospheric abnormalities after volcanic eruptions. The author examines the stages of this research and its results from a philosophical point of view, attempting to show that the cognitive value of art has an idiosync…
Subjectivity in Art History and Art Criticism
Art history and art criticism belong in a wider sense to the humanities, whose aim is the interpretation and comprehension of human actions and intellectual work. Both fields draw their basic methodological tools from the hermeneutical tradition. Their central analytic category is comprehension (verstehen) that seeks to ascribe meaning to the spirit of these actions, or to works of art. The intention of the art historian is to analyse and integra…
