One of the most fun aspects of writing this blog is that when I begin to research some topic I do not always know in advance where it might lead. The current series of posts on the roles of architecture in music videos is probably the most obvious example of that. As I was browsing [...]]]></description>

Following the post on the roles of architecture in music videos, I would like to elaborate on the difference between the roles of ‘background’ and ‘setting’. Basically, what marks that difference is whether the architecture is just located behind the performing band (or other visual subject of the video) while showing little or no interaction [...]]]></description>

Throughout the history of the pictorial image, architectural content has been used to perform various roles. A thorough analysis of these roles and their evolution over the ages can be found in the book, focusing on both the medium of painting and the newer medium of film. In this post I will present a short [...]]]></description>

An inherent characteristic in the making of pictorial images is that their visual pattern can sometimes be interpreted in more ways than one. Unlike in the discussion of the previous post, however, the two interpretations I am referring to here are not the pattern on a surface vs. the space that can be seen through [...]]]></description>

(This is the third in a series of posts that discuss the relationship between virtuality, abstraction, and pictorial images from the point of view of The Virtual Space Theory.)

One of the most dramatic events in the history of art was the transition from the demand that artists make only pictorial images, to the acceptance (and [...]]]></description>

The kinds of images that abstract art creates are obviously quite difficult to define. Add to that the growing popularity of the elusive term ‘virtual’, and it becomes tempting to use this term to describe also the elusive nature of abstract images. And yet, according to The Virtual Space Theory, most forms of abstract art [...]]]></description>

In the recent film Percy Jackson and the Olympians, a teenage boy in present-day New York City discovers that the Greek gods are more than just a myth: he is actually the son of Poseidon, and finds himself at the center of a godly dispute of apocalyptic proportions. The film did not receive much critical [...]]]></description>

A TV commercial that aired recently is yet another good example of the irrelevance of the popular notion of trying to determine what’s real in pictorial images:



This commercial’s success in creating a buzz, apart from its considerable humor, wit, and boldness, comes from the fact that it also sparks a discussion among its viewers regarding [...]]]></description>

A question which often comes up regarding The Virtual Space Theory is its relation to abstract art. In order to establish the foundation for future discussions of such matters, this relatively theoretical post will attempt to first clarify the term ‘abstract’. Similar to the term ‘virtual’, the term ‘abstract’ comes up in many contexts; it [...]]]></description>

Music videos are not always necessarily focused on the music’s performers, who sometimes use the video as an opportunity to provide a short cinematic experience in its own right. Its visual contents may be related to the lyrics, music, or atmosphere of the song, or it may present a theme that is important to the [...]]]></description>
