Worldbuilding, narrative, and agency in the intersemiotic translations of ‘The Witcher’
This study examines the complex intersemiotic translations of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher series across multiple media platforms: from novels to video games and subsequently to a Netflix television adaptation. Through an interdisciplinary framework drawing on Translation, Adaptation, and Game Studies, this research investigates how narrative structures, worldbuilding elements, and audience agency transform across different media. Particular a…
Elucidating the paradox of sustainable art consumption
This study scrutinizes the paradoxical relationship between the burgeoning demand for sustainable materials and the persisting environmental impact of the global art market. Its interdisciplinary inquiry, methodologically informed by a survey and interviews with art gallery managers, seeks to elucidate the driving forces behind this phenomenon, comprehend the contribution of sustainable art consumption within an interdisciplinary framework, and i…
Objects with lives, humans as ghosts
Critical theory for crypto art
The article explores non-fungible token (NFT) art as the ultimate form of commodification of art, thus positioning it as a potential ideal art form for capitalism. The article synthesizes theories from fields outside of art history, including critical theory, new materialism, and object-oriented ontology, to provide a comprehensive explanation for the rise of NFTs and their impact on the art world. By utilizing critical theory, power dynamics and…
Corpus-based critical discourse analysis of NFT art within mainstream art-market discourse and implications for the political economy of digital art
The recent advent of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has profoundly disrupted the contemporary art market, but their status remains contested. While advocates tout the democratising potential of NFTs, critics dismiss them as a speculative bubble. This study elucidates the position of NFT art within mainstream art market discourse through an interdisciplinary analysis synthesising critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and the political econo…
Valuing the virtual
This study examines the hitherto unexplained phenomenon of seemingly random and unpredictable fluctuations in the contemporary art market’s valuation of artworks, which has only been exacerbated by the recent rapid rise (and subsequent fast fall) of the value of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This study aims to provide a novel explanation for this phenomenon by drawing on an interdisciplinary aesthetic framework at the intersection of semiotics, Lac…
Mapping Cultural Flows through Contemporary Art in Translation
This article examines the role of translation in contemporary art through a case study of the curatorial project Translation(s), curated by Zoran Poposki in collaboration with Laurence Wood, realized in three editions over five years and involving more than 30 video works by international artists. By exploring the dual significance of translation as a motif and a method, this article investigates how artists engage with the complexities of commun…
Performativity and intersemiotic translation in contemporary art
This paper considers the intersection of performativity and intersemiotic translation in contemporary art through a case study of a new media art project aimed at visually transcoding Dung Kai-Cheung’s novel Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City, a book of postmodern fiction about the palimpsest nature of Hong Kong as a linguistic landscape and a city of (cultural) translation. In Hong Kong Atlas, the locations in Dung’s book are performati…
Hong Kong as a Global Art Hub
Over the past decade, Hong Kong’s art market has experienced unprecedented growth, emerging as the second largest in the world in 2020 in terms of contemporary art auctions. Factors such as the city’s free-market economy and well-developed infrastructure, as well as its unique position as a gateway to the large and growing Chinese art market, have led to major global art fairs and galleries establishing their presence in the city, in addition to …
