A.1 The 17th century Scientific Revolution was a revolution which laid down the foundation of modern science. It brought new ideas which involved biology, physics, human astronomy and chemistry which led people to reject the teaching and belief of doctrine from as far back as Ancient Greece. This changed the way people viewed world, from looking at it with superstition and religion to reason and knowledge. Scholars started to question the workings of the world and this started modern science.
Q.2. Give examples of how we can we still see evidence of the 'Scientific Revolution' in the world today.
A.2. There are many examples of scientific revolution such as a revolution in the science of human genetics, it is now possible to grow human tissues and organs to replace damaged or dysfunctional body parts. while some of the techniques can be ethnically controversial. Technology and how much it has developed over and years with computers, phones.
Research Pipilotti Rist's video installations to answer the following;
Q.3. From your research, do you think that the contemporary art world values art work
that uses new media/technology over traditional media?
A.3. I think that there would be a lot of contemporary artists that would value the use of new media and technology in making there art work in the way that it relates to the time we are living in. It is an interesting way to show the meaning of your art work.
Q.4. How has Pipilotti Rist used new media/technology to enhance the audience's experience of her work.
A.4. She was enhanced the audiences experience with the use of two videos over lapping, the use of colour is quite bright at times and movement of the camera but also the slow motion movement, the sounds/music that is used all ties in together.
Q.5. Comment on how the installation, sound and scale of 'Ever is Over All' (1997) could impact on the audience's experience of the work.
A.5. The sound is very dreamy which goes well with the behaviour of the woman how she is walking down in street in such a floaty joyous/ happy violent way. It is a mixture of feeling with the dreaminess but then having the smashing is unsettling in a way. It could relate to a love relationship with man and woman how it is so dreamy but sometimes shattered with the power/anger of how a man can be stereotypically..
Q6. Comment on the notion of 'reason' within the content of the video. Is the woman's behaviour reasonable or unreasonable?
A.6. After reading about what the video's meaning was, it made alot of sense. I think that there is reason within the video with the woman dressed like she is out of a fairy tale holding a large flower both relate to women in a stereotypical way and smashing the cars which represent men in the way with men's obsession with cars. I think that the woman's behaviour is reasonable in relation to the whole feminist point of view when you think about how men are/were so dominating in society etc, It is reasonable for her behavior to be the way it is.
Q.7. Comment on your 'reading' (understanding) of the work by discussion the aesthetic (look), experience and the ideologies (ideas, theories) of the work.
A.7. I think that the work related to feminism and stereotypes of men and women which has been explained in the above questions. the woman that is in the 'ever is over all' video is a very womanly woman who looks like she is from a fairytale.
