GRAPHIC MEMORY
Bruce Brown

This paper sets out to explore the impact that graphic images and modern technologies have had on human memory structures. It discusses the role of such within five distinct cultures - oral, manuscript, book, media and digital cultures.

ON RECONSTRUCTING TATLIN
Martyn Chalk

Seminal works of Construtivism built by the Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin in the period 1913-1915 are 'Missing presumed Destroyed'. For many years Martyn Chalk has been involved in researching and reconstructing these lost works from the basis of his practice as a sculptor.

Dennis Duerden and Kathie Jenkins talked to Martyn Chalk at the University of Humberside in May 1994. The transcript was edited by Kathie Jenkins and Martyn Chalk and annotated by Martyn Chalk in December 1994.

WEIRS, WAVES AND SCOUR
Simon Read

In 1993-94 Simon Read had the job of "Artist in Residence upon the Upper Thames". This was to be one a series of residencies set up by the Countryside Commission to explore the river. The intention was to help generate fresh perceptions of the river as part of the activities surrounding the reinstatement of the Thames Path from Thames Head to the Barrier. Here, through extracts from his journal, photographs and drawings, he gives an insight into his developing perceptions of the river - observations of the behaviour of the water, and the way it is controlled. Like the residency, the piece culminates in two large drawings of weir structure and related water behaviour.

THE UNEXPLOITED POTENTIAL OF NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR REPEAT PATTERN INNOVATION IN PRINTED TEXTILE DESIGN
Gillian Bunce

Dr Bunce and an informal cluster of researchers at the Nottingham Trent University have been looking at our understanding of how changes happen in the crafts and manufacturing industries in general, and in the fashion textile industry in particular.

We know that the new technologies are causing change. How they do so is less well understood. Dr Bunce argues that a good understanding depends on an appreciation of the crossover of changes in aesthetics, technology and economics.

Although this paper concentrates on the specific issue of repeat patterns in textiles, her discussion could arguably serve as a model for looking at change in many other industries.

THE ART OF LIGHT; VISUAL CONSIDERATIONS IN MULTI-MEDIA
Chris Mullen

This paper traces the emergence of a recently designed CDROM on the Depiction of Light from the Narrative Illustration/Editorial Design course at the University of Brighton. The CDROM presents a body of text and images within a simulated environment rather than using the conventional metaphor of the page and book. The CDROM begins with a simulation of Robert Fludd's Memory Theatre and unfolds in gardens and interiors based on the prints of Thomas Rowlandson. This has led to the critical examination of the standard repertoire of interactivity within multi-media, and the expectations of the beholder.

REPRESENTING ILLUSIONS
Tim O'Riley

The challenge presented by new technologies, specifically computer generated imagery, to traditional ideas about the picture plane and perspective has led to a renewed interest in studies in illusion and representation. In this paper, Tim O'Riley offers a useful insight into his own research project concerning the perception of the three-dimensional through theory and practice, the language surrounding representational systems and the methodologies he has chosen. His exploration, 'Image, Illusion, Representation: Stereoscopy in relation to Fine Art and Computing Practice', raises pertinent questions about changing relations between the observer and the observed. The first stage of his research, presented here, maps out a number of philosophical concepts of representation as a means of re-entering those historical debates which have centred on the 'window of the world', suggesting that this model should not yet be regarded as obsolete.

THE CULTURE AND STYLE OF BRITISH ART SCHOOL BUILDINGS:
PART TWO TWENTIETH CENTURY OPPORTUNISM AND CONFORMITY
David Jeremiah

In his first article on this subject (POINT 1) David Jeremiah outlined the peculiar origins of the Schools of Art and Design. In this concluding piece he traces the schools into far more familiar territory. The ideas that led to the expansion and complication of art education through the modern period, in some respects have yielded to the pragmatic concern with institutional survival. The problems, therefore, confronting art and design education now are similar to those of the nineteenth century.
