[ Artistic Beauty inspires the Love for urban Architecture ] Near Hibiya Park, Tokyo, Japan – ABSTRACT –

Elegance is the attribute of being unusually effective and simple. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness, particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the esthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.

=====

Some associate elegance with simplicity and consistency of design, focusing on the main or basic features of an object, its dignified gracefulness, or restrained beauty of style. One may also attribute elegance to place something in an opulent light—a in tasteful richness of design or ornamentation "the sumptuous elegance of the furnishings."

=====

The proof of a mathematical theorem is considered to have mathematical elegance if it is surprisingly simple yet effective and constructive; similarly, a computer program or algorithm is elegant if it uses a small amount of intuitive code to great effect.

=====

In engineering, a solution may be considered elegant if it uses a non-obvious method to produce a solution which is highly effective and simple. An elegant solution may solve multiple problems at once, especially problems not thought to be inter-related.

=====

In chemistry, chemists always look for elegance in formulations as well as effectiveness in dosage form design.

Visual stimuli are frequently considered elegant if a small number of colors and stimuli are used, emphasizing the remainder.

=====

WIKIPEDIA = The Elegance of Simply BE and Discovery AROUND THE WORLD

=====

I am from the planet of elegance.

Nota Bene: I am not suicidal. xo

I bought this book of art from fellow Baltimore Flickie and deviantartist Lauren Simonutti.

The subtitle is, "31 visual attempts at a justification for suicide".

The word "justification" could possibly be misconstrued as advocation. It is not. Rather, it is a visual post-hoc exploration of wordless, unexplained self-termination, realized in iconic photography.

"Fewer than twenty percent of suicides leave a note"

These are Lauren’s visualizations of those silences.

Pages on the left quote the forensic determination of the incident. Pages on the right are Lauren’s photographic interpretation.

I have always been intrigued by the challenge of taking an idea, or a concept, or a mood, or a written passage, and representing it photographically, in a single image.

"She had taken off her hat and put it on the table" – Ernest Hemingway, "Hills Like White Elephants"

It’s a real challenge to portray that in a single image and deliver the full intent and meaning of the tableau. I think it can be done, if you’re good. Lauren chose 31 brief forensic reports and turned them into astonishing original photographs.

Lauren rejected some of her photos for particular cases because they were too coarse – a forearm with knife slashes, for example – when it could be expressed much more subtly by a piece of clothing, or a ring, or an ostensibly ordinary object. There are no wounds or blood in "drowning, not waving" – her photos are much more symbolic. I think it’s the subtlety of the photos that make it an extraordinary work.

Lauren does all her photography using large format film, and develops it in her own darkroom. It should be noted that she has nothing against digital photography, it’s just that film and chemicals are her chosen medium.

The construction of this work has also aided in Lauren’s personal development — but it’s probably best to let her explain that in her own words, in her book and in her blogs, so I shall not here.

Afterword:
I hope I’ve explained this book well. This book is not "fun" or "entertainment". This book is not for everyone.

Where do Mumbaikars find privacy in their city? The KRVIA Design Cell talked about their findings from the Mapping Privacy in Public Space research project, conducted through the Lab’s run. They discussed their methodology and their experience in data collection across the Lab’s six sites, and shared the visual imagery and maps they created from their research from over 200 participants.

"du-champ-i-ssue"
jun.jul.ago.2008 | inviernosurveranonorte

ON PAPER (new! second edition! 25/09!)
PDF (new! second edition! 24/09!)
NAVIGATE it (new! second edition! 24/09!)
Hi-Res PDF (new! second edition! 24/09!)

Un número dedicado a explorar la visión y propuestas de Marcel Duchamp.
No su vida, no su obra; tan sólo algunos de sus conceptos.
Realizado con aportes de artistas, pensadores y diseñadores de todo el mundo
combinados con la explícita intención de producir a su vez un objeto duchampiano.

-el medio como instrumento intelectual que transpasa su especificidad y se burla de ella
-la obra independientemente de su carácter representativo e interpretativo
-”arte”, en términos de convenciones, lo más “amorfo” posible
-”obras” en las que la obra no es una finalidad en sí misma sino una excusa
-interpretaciones o, mejor dicho, lecturas que pueden convivir a pesar de ser aparentemente excluyentes
-objetos “anestesiados estéticamente”, anulados en su probable complacencia de la mirada, “rectificados”,”asistidos” para otorgarles una nueva -a menudo, insólita- significación. Como en la elección de los “ready-mades”: “basada en la indiferencia visual y en la ausencia total del buen o mal gusto”
-obras “definitivamente inacabadas”
-rrose sélavy, su alter(-)ego
-ajedrez, máquinas ópticas, matemáticas, geometría, “artefactos”
-la “pintura mental”, “pintura de precisión”, el rechazo de cualquier elemento en el que la mirada se pueda recrear con fruición

-texto, – bloques, – fotografías, + mixed-media, + pintura, + ilustración.
-toda la revista está en castellano e inglés.

(descárgala gratis y comienza felizmente el verano -o el invierno-)

This issue plays around the conceptual universe of Marcel Duchamp. Not his life, nor his works, just some of his concepts.

– the medium, as an intellectual tool which goes beyond its specificity mocking it.
– the work, regardless of its representative and interpretative character.
– “art”, in terms of conventions, as “amorphous” as possible.
– “construction”, in which the work is not it’s purpose, but an excuse.
– interpretations, or rather readings which can coexist despite being seemingly exclusive.
– objects “aesthetically anesthetized,” lapsed in their likely sight complacency; “rectified”, “assisted”, to give them a new –often unusual- significance. As with the choice of “ready-mades”: “based on visual indifference and a total absence of good or bad taste”
– works “definitively unfinished”.
– rrose sélavy, his alter (-) ego.
– chess, optic machines, mathematics, geometry, “artifacts”.
– “mental painting,” “precision painting”, the rejection of any element in which sight can be delighted.

– aesthetics: – text, – blocks, – photographs, + mixed-media, + painting, + illustration.
– the whole magazine, in spanish and english.

(download it. it’s free. and start enjoying summer -or winter-)
