Естественно, в течение веков они ветшают, частично разрушаются и нуждаются в реставрации. Реставрация памятников, находящихся на территории других стран – крайне важный, но и трудный процесс. Хорошая традиция в этом вопросе наметилась у нас с Исламской Республикой Иран. Находящийся примерно в 15 км от города Джуга (Джульфа), на правом берегу реки Аракс, монастырь Сурб Степанос Нахавка (Св. Стефана Первомученика или Предтечи) Дарашамба (восточный Атрпатакан) принадлежит к числу армянских памятников на территории Ирана, реставрационные работы над которыми были проведены организацией «Исследования по армянской архитектуре» по инициативе властей Ирана и под не-посредственным руководством Армена Ахназаряна. Слава монастыря, как важного религиозно-культурного центра и в художественном отношении прекрасно решённого комплекса с давних пор привлекала не только местное население, но и всех, кто бывал в этих краях. Крайне интересно «увидеть» монастырь также глазами французского путешественника XVII века Жана-Батиста Тавернье. В книге “Les six voyages de Jean–Baptiste Tavernier” путешественником дается подробное описание монастыря и своего пребывания там во время первого посещения. Ему был оказан теплый прием, присутствовал он и на праздновании армянской Масленицы – Барекендана (Сarnaval). Благодаря своей художественной и исторической ценности монастырь в 2008 году был включён в Список всемирного культурного наследия ЮНЕСКО под наименованием «Армянские церкви Ирана» – вместе с другими армянскими монастырями.\u0000By fate, many historical monuments of Armenian architecture are outside the current borders of the Republic of Armenia. Naturally, over the centuries, they got destroyed, and partly collapsed, needing restoration. Restoration of the monuments located on the territory of other countries is an important, but also a difficult process. We have a good tradition in this matter with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Located about 15 km from the city of Jugha (Julfa), on the right bank of the Araks river, the monastery of Surb Stepanos Nakhavka (Protomartyr) of Darashamb (eastern Atrpatakan) is one of the Armenian monuments in Iran, the restoration work of which was carried out by the organization “Research on Armenian Architecture” on the initiative of the Iranian authorities and under the direct supervision of Armen Hakhnazaryan. The reputation of the monastery as an important religious-cultural centre, and an artistically well-designed complex, attracted not only the locals, but also all the foreigners visiting these places. It is interesting to “see” the monastery also through the eyes of the 17th century French traveller Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. In the book “Les six voyages de Jean-Baptiste Tavernier”, the traveller gives a detailed description of the monastery and his stay there during his first visit. He was given a warm welcome, and he was ","PeriodicalId":40461,"journal":{"name":"AM Journal of Art and Media Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82256167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author of the opera libretto was an Armenian opera singer, the first Western Armenian singer who received his professional education in Europe, tenor Hovhannes Achemian (1838-1905), who performed the title role of Arif. The Ottoman stage primadonna Shazik Keuyluyian (born Sevadjian, Lusnak Sargsi Keuyluyian, 1854- 1905) played the main character, Meriem. The performance of Arif was the first occasion in the Armenian musical reality when an Armenian composer’s opera was on stage, performed by Armenian artists. This was not only the birthday of the Armenian comic opera, but also it marked the beginning of the Armenian musical theatre. In the present study on Tchouhadjian’s music, presented to the English-speaking readers for the first time, the results of the opera’s comprehensive research are substantiated, defining the genre of Arif as a comic opera, revealing its musical language and dramaturgical features, and putting forward the necessity of staging it in Armenia, as well as publishing an academic edition of the opera score and claviers.

This work was widely used in the medieval universities of Armenia and, above all, in the famous Khoranashat seminary founded by him. In addition to information about other sciences, Hovhannes Vanakan’s textbook contains questions and answers related to the art of music, which indicates that in the curriculum of the Khoranashat School, serious attention was paid to the practical study of spiritual singing, history, theory, and aesthetics of church music. The book Questions and Answers by Hovhannes Vanakan is one of the important works of encyclopedic nature that circulated in the Armenian medieval seminaries-universities of the 13th century.

We develop the hypothesis starting from Heidegger’s opposition of technology and the poietic, which we interpret through the dialectic between the performative and constative function of the hand. To overcome the Heideggerian problem of Enframing, we introduce the question of singularity inherent in every poietic activity which, however, does not result in conceiving technology as an instrument. When defining the nature of such poietic singularization we employ Spinoza’s concept of an inadequate idea – an idea that involves its cause but does not explain it. The inherent negativity of the inadequate idea generates the sphere in which the new appears as radical otherness. But in order to produce the new, that is, to perform it, technology has to be conceptualized and thus made an instrument – a singular instrument of the creative act. \u0000Article received: May 23, 2022; Article accepted: July 15, 2022; Published online: October 31, 2022; Original scholarly paper","PeriodicalId":40461,"journal":{"name":"AM Journal of Art and Media Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88159279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Popov","doi":"10.25038/am.v0i29.537","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25038/am.v0i29.537","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores the contemporary aesthetics of one of the latest forms of digital art known as non-fungible tokens, aka NFTs, and how and why they are affecting and shaping today’s society. Using Manovich’s theory of metamedium, Lanza’s theory of biocentrism, blockchain technology, and NFTs can be theorized as a form of medium which represents many other media while augmenting them with many new properties. The main theoretical problem with NFTs in the domain of art theory is the question of their originality. When put to use through various digital art collections and online tech platforms, the backend section of the blockchain smart contract code also becomes part of art, hence it can sometimes be difficult to define NFTs’ originality of the art itself. Due to the repetitive nature of NFTs, it can be argued that the most unique component of the NFT metamedium is not art, or blockchain smart contract, but the owner of the digital art piece. With the collection of 10,000 similar pieces of art, the originality of art is evolving through the ideology of cultural groups associated with desired collections. It is shifting from the art itself to the owner. Throughout the unification of technology, software, and art, artists have a new way to extend their creations, while actively participating in the shaping of the cultural landscape. This gives both creators and collectors of the NFT metamedium a brand-new transcending meta experience beyond the art itself that gives a unique point to the originality of the art piece.\u0000Article received: May 8, 2022; Article accepted: July 15, 2022; Published online: October 15, 2022; Original scholarly paper","PeriodicalId":40461,"journal":{"name":"AM Journal of Art and Media Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86537337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Artificial Aesthetics and Aesthetic Machine Attention","authors":"Jaana Okulov","doi":"10.25038/am.v0i29.534","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25038/am.v0i29.534","url":null,"abstract":"The aesthetics of artificial intelligence is often viewed in relation to the qualities of their generated expressions. However, aesthetics could have a broader role in developing machine perception. One of the main areas of expertise in aesthetics is the understanding of feature-based information, which involves how the aesthetics of sensory features can cause affective changes in the perceiver, and the other way around – how affective states can give rise to certain kinds of aesthetic features. This two-way link between aesthetic features and affects is not yet well-established in the interdisciplinary discussion; however, according to perceptual psychology, it fundamentally constructs the human experience.\u0000Machine attention is an emerging technique in machine learning that is most often used in tasks like object detection, visual question answering, and language translation. Modern use of technology most often focuses on creating object-based attention through linguistic categories, although the models could also be utilized for nonverbal attention. This paper proposes the following perceptual conditions for aesthetic machine attention: 1) acknowledging that something appears (aesthetic detection); 2) suspension of judgment (aesthetic recognition); and 3) making the incident explicit with expression (aesthetic identification and amplification). These aspects are developed through an interdisciplinary reflection of literature from the fields of aesthetics, perceptual psychology, and machine learning. The paper does not aim to give a general account of aesthetic perception but to expand the interdisciplinary theory of aesthetics and specify the role of aesthetics among other disciplines at the heart of the technological development of the human future.\u0000 \u0000Article received: May 10, 2022; Article accepted: July 15, 2022; Published online: October 15, 2022; Original scholarly paper","PeriodicalId":40461,"journal":{"name":"AM Journal of Art and Media Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75646106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
