2006 Doctorate of Fine Arts
AFFECTS: Intermedial Images between Art, Philosophy, and Science.
In her doctoral dissertation Julainne Sumich discovers a scientific
connection to the role of the intermedium applicable to the art
of time-based images and images of thought. By drawing on practical
and theoretical correspondences between the intermedial arts, philosophy,
mathematics, and neuroscience she establishes a highly convincing
argument for a new range of perspectives in interdisciplinary practice
related to the interactive flexibility of digital media applications.
These intertexts of art and theory are demonstrated in her art practice
of the previous three years and culminated in new work for her doctoral
art exhibition, Entanglement: Intermedial Images between Art, Philosophy,
and Science, The Gus Fisher Gallery Auckland New Zealand April 2006.
Commencing her dissertation with the confusion of the intermedium
between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Richard Carter Higgins, Julainne
reconstructs a conceptual network that causes the term, intermedium,
to make an impression. Her research into disagreements concerning
Higgins' use of the term from Coleridge illuminates how expanded
images of conceptual fusion can emerge from confusion. She then
draws on a correspondence between intermedial arts and the discipline
of philosophy, taking Gilles Deleuze's noosigns for images of thought
that affect new narrative structures in cinematic practice. These
are demonstrated in her animation of mathematical equations and
multiple frame composites using digital media applications. Julainne
intensifies these images of thought in her Doctoral art exhibition,
Entanglement, where "Light Affects", a series of lenticular
images, induce a visceral affect in the body, and physically reorient
ways of looking at art. Lastly, she detects a correspondence between
intermedial arts and neuroscience, By way of David Friedman's research
on event-related potential in the brain's processing of unfamiliar
stimuli, she presents a large scale interactive work whose artificial
intelligence of image recognition engages the individual's autonomic
response to novelty.
The aggregate of all these components inform Julainne's hypothesis
that the intermedium's chemistry of affection is a proven dynamic
force in interdisciplinary research of the 21st century.
