Im Gegensatz zu Kunst gilt Kitsch als aufdringlich und wenig reflexiv. Doch ist diese Entgegensetzung nicht zu einfach gedacht? Könnte es nicht zahlreiche Zwischenstufen der Reflexivität geben? Der Autor geht diesen Fragen nach und diskutiert dazu verschiedene Positionen aus Literatur, Philosophie, Film und Fernsehen, von Walter Benjamin bis André Rieu. Dabei zeigt er auf, dass Kitsch bestimmte Formen von Reflexivität braucht, um dem Publikum heile Welten, große Gefühle und kleine Fluchten bieten zu können: Wie beim Fiktionspakt im Sinne von Samuel Taylor Coleridge geht das Publikum einen Pakt mit dem Kitsch ein.

Springen, Fallen, Spritzen und Explodieren sind Flüchtigkeitsphänomene, die in jüngerer Geschichte durch mediale Inszenierungen Sensationswert erhalten haben und unser kulturelles Bildbewusstsein prägen. Auf der Grundlage einer kulturwissenschaftlich orientierten Bildwissenschaft rekonstruiert der Autor Ursprung und Wandel von Plötzlichkeitsmotiven, um die daraus entstehenden Semantiken und Faszinationseffekte zu ermitteln. Ausgehend von Beispielen aus der wissenschaftlichen, populärkulturellen, journalistischen und Mode-Ikonografie werden Produktionen des visuell Außergewöhnlichen verfolgt sowie überraschende Verbindungen zwischen unterschiedlichen Visualitätskulturen aufgezeigt. Ein reiches Bildmaterial belegt eindrucksvoll, wie Aufzeichnungsmedien an der Herstellung von modernen Ereigniserfahrungen teilhaben.

The purpose of the article is to identify the peculiarities of the formation and the main trends of the development of digital theatre in the context of the specifics of contemporary Internet culture. Research methodology. The structural-functional method (to summarise the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of digital theatre in contemporary Internet culture), the typological method (to determine the features of Internet culture), the diachronic method (to consider digital theatre in the context of the specifics of its historical development), the method of comparative analysis (to identify the common and distinctive features of online theatre and digital theatre); and the method of theoretical generalisation have been applied. Scientific novelty. The peculiarities of the formation and trends in the development of digital theatre in the context of modern Internet culture have been studied; the concepts of "digital theatre" and "online theatre" have been clarified; the main characteristics of digital theatre have been revealed; little-known materials on the development of digital theatre have been introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The study has revealed that digital theatre is characterised by: the use of digital technologies as the basis of the production; various approaches of stage directors-producers to the use of digital technologies in the process of implementing the author's idea, which ensures the uniqueness and originality of each digital theatre performance; a high level of immersion, which involves the full immersion and involvement of the viewer in the theatrical action; specific interactivity (the viewer affects the development of the storyline); lack of binding to a specific venue; the possibility to attract a significant number of viewers (thanks to information and communication technologies); active combination of various techniques of theatre and film art, video games and media art; accessibility for potential viewers. Digital theatre performances presented in contemporary Internet culture on various platforms for video conferencing and webinars, social networks, and so on represent experimental forms of artificial integration of traditional elements of the performance into virtual reality, a new aesthetics of digital theatrical expression and, accordingly, lead to the transformation of professional tools. Digital theatre, which is currently in its infancy, has a powerful potential that arises at the intersection of theatricality and digitality.
Key words: digital theatre, online theatre, Internet culture, digital technologies, performances.

¿Puede el diseño condicionar nuestra conducta? ¿Puede condicionar cómo nos sentimos? ¿Puede modificar nuestra mente? Al paso del tiempo la práctica del diseño ha sido sinónimo de estética, modernidad y estatus, ha sido modificada por los medios y las herramientas tecnológicas, lo cual ha llegado a permitir la creación de un hábitat construido fusionado entre la información digital y el mundo real que habitamos utilizando técnicas novedosas con las cuales interactuamos hoy. Este artículo describe un acercamiento a la base conceptual de un nuevo paradigma dentro del diseño en general llamado Neurohábitat un paradigma repleto de oportunidades para la investigación, que parte del hecho de que el objeto final de este hábitat diseñado y construido son los sujetos que lo habitan y experimentan. Esto simboliza una práctica transhumanista que antepone el desarrollo de la experiencia y vida humana, al beneficio económico, político o de otra naturaleza de los sujetos. La incorporación de la ciencia al diseño podría representar el surgimiento de un nuevo avance para los planteamientos metodológicos y teóricos de la disciplina dentro de un mundo cada vez más cambiante y digitalizado. Palabras clave: Diseño, neurociencias, cognición, hábitat. AbstractCan design condition our behavior? Can it condition the way we feel? Can it modify our mindset? Over time, the practice of design has been synonymous with aesthetics, modernity and status, it has been modified by the media and technological tools, which has come to allow the creation of a built habitat fused between digital information and the real world we inhabit using novel techniques with which we interact today. This article describes an approach to the conceptual basis of a new paradigm within design in general called Neurohabitat, a paradigm full of opportunities for research, which starts from the fact that the final object of this designed and built habitat is the subjects that inhabit it. and they experiment. This symbolizes a transhumanist practice that puts the development of human experience and life before the economic, political or other benefits of the subjects. The incorporation of science into design could represent the emergence of a new advance for the methodological and theoretical approaches of the discipline within an increasingly changing and digitized world. Keywords Design: neurosciences, cognition, habitat.

Abstract. Geotourism has become well-known all around Indonesia as many placessustain distinctive characters – from the environment, aesthetics, culture, toresidents. Keramikan, without exception, located in the borders of Kecamatan Suohand Bandar Negeri Suoh has captured many local tourists by its exceptionalgeological and scientific importance: geothermal site. However, both tourists andthe management have to struggle to enjoy this attractive geosite because of the lackof accessibility and amenity. Therefore, attempt measures were done to exaggeratethe beauty of Keramikan geothermal site as a tourism site or geosite, including a)story-based socialization for locals that they can explain many 'whys' inside the siteto the coming tourists, b) explaining through video the existing condition ofaccessibility and amenity as well as how the management can improve, c) postermaking and distribution to start the health and safety awareness of the public,independent tourism organization, and Keramikan workers, and the government.Although attractions are undeniably appealing for stakeholders and tourists, the factthat accessibility and amenity cannot be improved due to regulation and licenserestrictions will be the downfall for the management. Therefore, this socialization isaimed to educate as well as to address the fundamental problems to the authority.Keywords: geotourism, geosite, Keramikan Suoh, socializationAbstrak.

Violence is complex both in its origins and in its solutions (Gilligan, 1999). It takes manyf orms (Lee, 2019) and can be directed towards oneself, towards others, or perpetrated collectively by a group of individuals towards others (Dahlberg and Krug, 2002). As Spring2021 came to Northern Ireland, the streets of some communities were marred by collective violence. Unusually for riots, these appeared to be structured and coherently organised (Dela Roche, 1996). Scenes of young people throwing bricks and petrol bombs at police were circulated online, as well as through international media. The story of escalating community tensions was reported in the Guardian, Euronews and Al Jazeera. Time Magazine posed the question, 'Is Northern Ireland experiencing the worst violence in years?' In terms of mobilisation, it certainly was the most destructive in recent times. After seven nights of rioting, eighty-eight police officers were injured and several communities were left with significant damage to property (Cross and Rutherford, 2021). As tends to be the case in any conflict, youth are often at disproportional risk of being the perpetrators of violence in addition to being more likely to be the victim of violence (Walsh and Schubotz, 2020). During these Spring riots, it was reported that children as young aseight were actively involved in some of the most violent disturbances. In response, the Commissioner for Children and Young People for Northern Ireland publicly claimed that organised criminals, operating through paramilitary structures were coercing and criminally exploiting young people to engage in the violence (McLafferty, 2021). A few months later, the office of the Commissioner published a government advice paper on the issue of criminal exploitation calling for a whole government approach (NICCY, 2021). The riots took place in largely "loyalist areas" and where communities interfaced. In one of the most well documented interfaces known as the 'brick fields', the predominantly loyalist Shankill Road erupted and the concrete 'peace wall' that separates it from the nationalist Springfield Road was shut. The aesthetics were powerful. Images of the interface showed groups of what appeared to be mostly young people masked and armed with projectiles. Maybe the most striking as well as memorable image, was the public bus that was hijacked and set alight. Against the darkness of the night, the fire illuminated the concrete barrier separating the two communities.

Poéticas arquitectónicas en el arte contemporáneo is a book in which two historically related disciplines, plastic arts and architecture, look at each other, here in the time between 1970 and 2008. For this occasion, the story is written from the perspective of art, most of them deeply conceptual works, and critically challenging the political postulates of mainstream ideologies. Throughout the nine chapters in the book, David Moriente discusses on how contemporary artists have "architecturized" their work, for example, through a process of hybridizations between architecture and sculpture, or also from installation art. These pages also pay special attention to a critical perspective of the urban space from photography, away from a traditional documentary aesthetics and with high doses of fiction. They also offer particular prominence to the great contemporary artists such as Gordon Matta-Clark, Gregor Schneider and Santiago Sierra, and their unclassifiable proposals. Altogether, nearly 10 heterogeneous perspectives confirm that the latest contemporary art sets itself to long distance from the specificity and purity of the art media, and that architecture is one of the triggers of these fruitful transgressions. ; Poéticas arquitectónicas en el arte contemporáneo es un libro en el que dos disciplinas históricamente imbricadas, artes plásticas y arquitectura, vuelven a mirarse, esta vez en el marco temporal establecido entre 1970 y 2008. Para esta ocasión, se escribe una historia narrada desde la particular perspectiva del arte, en su mayoría a partir de propuestas de profundo componente conceptual y que retan de manera crítica los postulados políticos de ideologías dominantes. A lo largo de nueve capítulos, David Moriente reflexiona sobre cómo numerosos artistas contemporáneos han "arquitecturizado" su producción, por ejemplo, a través de unas peculiares hibridaciones entre arquitectura y escultura, o también desde la instalación. Entre sus páginas se dedica atención, a su vez, a la mirada crítica al espacio urbano desde la fotografía, lejos de la estética documental y con altas dosis de ficción, y se ofrece también particular protagonismo a las inclasificables propuestas de relevantes artistas, como son Gordon Matta-Clark, Gregor Schneider y Santiago Sierra. En conjunto, una decena de heterogéneas miradas llegan a confirmar que la producción artística de las últimas décadas se aleja drásticamente de la especificidad de los medios y que la arquitectura es uno de los detonantes de estas fructíferas transgresiones.

Architectural lighting design aims to improve the image and aesthetics of an area or building at night known as the concept of city beautification, the lighting must also be able to meet the criteria of safety, orientation and security when implemented in areas or buildings with complex activities such as in an area adjacent to the traffic flow. Technological advances resulted in the change of commercial media communication facilities, such as static billboards turned into LED videotrons. The placement of videotrons needs to be considered on roads with motorized traffic flow, as it allows for the risk of accidents, as well as light pollution especially at night. This study used The Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) method, the extent of the influence of videotron light on the comfort of driving a motor vehicle at the intersection of videotron Menteng Bintaro Park. The result of this research that the placement of videotron is the policy of local government, vendors and environmental managers by paying attention to the AMDAL before and after the facilities are installed, with road safety complementary facilities such as road boundaries and shock lines. Information about commercial advertisements on videotron Taman Menteng Bintaro as much as 80% for pedestrians and motorists get the information, compared to motorists as much as 60% do not get information. The light effect of videotron greatly affects the surrounding environment and there is a glare effect of light that changes suddenly with results for pedestrians (80%), motorists (60%) and the least of the motorists (50%), because of the more comfortable condition in driving. Desain pencahayaan arsitektural bertujuan untuk meningkatkan citra dan estetika sebuah kawasan atau bangunan pada malam hari yang dikenal dengan konsep city beautification, pencahayaan tersebut juga harus mampu memenuhi kriteria keselamatan, orientasi dan keamanan ketika diimplementasikan pada kawasan atau bangunan dengan aktivitas yang kompleks seperti pada sebuah kawasan yang berdekatan dengan arus lalu lintas. Kemajuan teknologi mengakibatkan perubahan sarana komunikasi media komersial, seperti papan reklame yang statis berubah menjadi videotron LED. Penempatan videotron perlu diperhatikan pada jalan dengan arus lalu lintas kendaran bermotor, karena memungkinkan untuk terjadinya resiko kecelakaan, serta polusi cahaya terutama pada malam hari. Penelitian ini menggunakan metoda Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), sejauh mana pengaruh cahaya videotron terhadap kenyamanan mengemudi kendaraan bermotor di persimpangan videotron Taman Menteng Bintaro. Hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa penempatan videotron merupakan kebijakan Pemda, vendor dan pengelola lingkungan dengan memperhatikan AMDAL sebelum dan sesudah fasilitas terpasang, dengan fasilitas pelengkap keamanan jalan seperti batas jalan dan garis kejut. Informasi mengenai iklan komersial pada videotron Taman Menteng Bintaro sebanyak 80% untuk pejalan kaki dan pengendara mobil mendapatkan informasinya, berbanding terbalik dengan pengendara motor sebanyak 60% tidak mendapatkan informasi. Efek cahaya dari videotron sangat mempengaruhi lingkungan sekitar dan terjadi efek silau dari cahaya yang berubah secara tiba-tiba dengan hasil untuk pejalan kaki (80%), pengendara motor (60%) dan paling sedikit dari pengendara mobil (50%), karena kondisi yang lebih nyaman dalam berkendara.

Die Rufe nach positiver Veränderung, nach gesellschaftlicher Transformation und bisweilen gar nach Weltrettung sind laut. Doch das Potential eines weltentwerfenden Designs wird mitunter maßlos überschätzt. Vor allem fehlt es bei aller Aufbruchstimmung an einem Korrektiv, einem Bezugspunkt, der auch die Kosten in Rechnung stellt. Unsere Antwort auf die Frage, wie sich das Wahre, Schöne und Gute zum Durchbruch bringen lässt, ist eine Frage: Wie können wir den Schaden maximieren? Sie ist nichts anderes als das notwendige Korrektiv der Frage "Wie können wir den Nutzen vergrößern?" Erst Grenzen ermöglichen Freiheit. Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen: Wenn auf beide Fragen die gleichen Antworten kommen, kann die Lust am Gestalten losgehen.

Beziehungen sind nicht gegeben, sie werden gemeinsam gemacht. Der Band untersucht Relationalitäten als prozessuale Aushandlungen zwischen Künsten und Wissenschaften, zwischen gebautem Raum und sozialem Körper, zwischen theoretischem und poetisch-künstlerischem Schreiben und Sprechen, zwischen Form, Material und Handlung. Plädiert wird für eine Wissenspolitik der Künste, die von einer radikalen Verstricktheit theoretischer, ästhetischer, medialer und gesellschaftlicher Praktiken und Techniken ausgeht.
