Evidence of research notes and their use for Assignment 3

These short notes written for my CS Ass 3 learning log: https://nkssite6.photo.blog/category/contextual-studies/c-s-assignments/cs-assignment-3/cs-ass-3-learning-log/

O Sullivan: 

This paper explores art in the field of affect theory, asking what makes up experience and subjectivity. O’Sullivan questions how our materialist connection to the world by  a review of representation and art historical narratives. He covers the opposition between idealism and materialism within philosophy, as he believes that aesthetics affects how we experience art. By asserting the value of experiencing art O’Sullivan says we can experience art differently as a portal for our subconscious sensations, which he thinks is essential to understand art and the world around it.

A very useful paper with sources on affect – will lead me to much further exploration on affect in Art.

Edwards: This paper is mostly about placing, materiality and context of photographic images, particularly the importance of cultural and social analysis. It discusses the placing, materiality and “haptic” effects of images.
