The paper gives the general overview of ceramics, computer-aided design and its application in ceramic product development. It also illuminates on product emotion, its influence on consumers’ behaviour and how it can be integrated into new product conceptualization. Furthermore, the paper analysed the systematic approach in building user-centred design in new product and also reveals how CAD can be used to achieve a user-centred design. In order to test the viability of CAD in achieving user-centred design, a study was performed where a CAD-model of a multi-functional ceramic pot was created and a questionnaire with the image (CAD model) and eight emotions was given to participants so as to know their emotional responses toward the product. The result from the study reveals the viability of computer aided design as tool for building user-centred design in consumer ceramics’ product development.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The experience of creating in technology-mediated spaces (through an avatar form) brings the phenomenological experience of the body into the act of creating itself. Ways of explaining this creative process and its relationship to imaginative experience highlights a phenomenology of practice of artists working in this realm. This article considers the implications of the methodological approaches that have been chosen in an inter-disciplinary context and the case for investigating artistic and imaginative experience through adapting phenomenological research methods. It presents the results of the analysis and provides an account of the method of Imaginative Variation and its adaptation for use in new contexts.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Formally, the work explores the relationship between movement of a physical body and stereoscopic animation in a physical/digital three-dimensional image field. The animation is generated from motion capture data and kinesthetic media composition processes based on physical choreography. Through precise temporal alignment and stereoscopic theatrical effect, the projected animation is perceived to surround the performing body in physical space. The art/research process contextualizing Corpus Corvus is a practice-based exploration and discovery of an emerging poetics that extends the human sensory system into immersive media perceptual hyperspaces. This paper illuminates the process of research, manifestation, and discovery that informs the artwork and its poetics.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Art Cult. Des.

The importance of randomness in the creative process must not be ignored, underestimated, or intentionally disregarded in a condescending way. Notions of chance, randomness, or unpredictability are important, especially when it comes to artistic creation. In addition to these notions, serendipity can be seen as the expected contribution for making expedient discoveries by coincidence or by chance. To put serendipity into work, a need exists to accumulate a list of questions that need solving, acquaintance with already existing answers, and their use in daily life. Only when this knowledge is present, ‘chance’ can take its part in establishing the perfect milieu for the ‘problem’ and the ‘solution’ to find each other. If there is a great deal of knowledge accrued about the problem and the requisites for the solution, chance adds the final piece to the puzzle. Traditional ‘prescriptive, authoritarian and rather conventional’ aesthetics vs. a new ‘generative, irregular, unprescribed’ aesthetics can then be examined.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int.

These powerful media such as film, radio, and television transmitted culture to the passive masses (Enzensberger, 1974). These art forms were divorced of ritual and authenticity and were reproduced to reinforce their prowess (Benjamin, 1936). In the 21st-century post-media condition, a process of convergence and evolution toward a social consciousness, facilitated by a many-to-many social network strategy, is underway. Web 2.0 technologies are a catalyst toward an emergence of a collectivist aesthetic consciousness. As the prophecy of a post-industrial society (Bell, 1973) becomes fulfilled, a post-media society emerges whose quest is for knowledge dependent upon an economy that barters information. This paper identifies a conceptual model of this recent paradigm shift and to identify some of the possibilities that are emerging.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Art Cult. Des.

The term “cultural industry†is also contextualized in the article with the reflections that Adorno previously exposed since 1947. Concerning the relation between art and autonomy the ideas of Adorno offer elements to understand contemporary art production. A dialog is created with the proposal of the North American theoretician and artist Martha Rosler to understand the chronological development of art before, during, and after Adorno. To conclude, the author also discusses contemporary new media art manifestations, which are analyzed through autonomy/cultural industry in relation to the proposals of the Brazilian theoretician Arlindo Machado.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The authors’ assertion is that this metaphor, one that is rooted in the iconography of the late-capitalist home, is in a moment of transition and constant redefinition. In this paper, the authors explore and assess three basic modern manifestations of the homosexual rite of passage and how they have been rendered obsolete, adapted, or in some respects, catalyzed by new media and mobile technology. The charting of these changes is evaluated as a ’nodal’ phenomenon within queer culture and is paired with Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia to better explore the spatial qualities of this shifting circumstance. The closet term is part of a continuum; one marked by intersecting moments of connectivity. In this article, the authors assess the term mainly in relation to a pre-computer era, a personal computer era and a mobile computer/smartphone era.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

This article extends this notion to the socio-temporary, which is a state arising from constant synergies between the social context and worldmaking. Such narratives were originally influenced by the field of cybernetics and later on by second-order cybernetics reflected in the emergent participatory art practice of the mid-twentieth century through transdisciplinary research. Derived from the theoretical underpinning of this article a simulation is exhibited, which illustrates theoretically elements of Varela and Maturana’s autopoietic system behaviour and its close relation to temporality in the worldmaking of architecture. This is a theoretical article – with an element of practice – that seeks to highlight the temporality of the process of worldmaking in architecture.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

This article re-examines the presuppositions governing human-computer interaction with the motivation of strengthening weaknesses in their foundational concepts. It argues for abandoning the interaction metaphor to refocus design discourse toward the mediation roles of technology interfaces. ‘Remediation', i.e. representation of one medium in another, is proposed as a conceptual model that more precisely describes the human-to-computer actions.","PeriodicalId":181387,"journal":{"name":"Int.
