<\/a><\/p>\nInventing Abstraction<\/span><\/i><\/a> is an interactive historical web project that elaborates upon the vast network of artists, musicians, choreographers, and poets who contributed to the birth of abstraction — a radical element of modern art \u00a0that was critical in the development of post-modernism. As a supplementary web document to the<\/span> Inventing Abstraction<\/span><\/i> exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, this illustrated network of artists serves as additional context for the curatorial statement, which names a few key players in the 1910\u2019s and 20\u2019s whose relationships formed this conceptual movement. <\/span><\/p>\n This web project features the following sources, processes, and presentations:<\/span><\/p>\n Sources (assets):<\/b> Scans (images) of original paintings, drawings, scores, and books are included in this web of artists, in addition to copious amounts of background text (such as birthplace, affiliated studios, interests, and short bios). Each artist\u2019s node in the interactive web map has additional links which describe in detail the production, inspiration, and conceptual trajectory of selected works from their careers, in addition to mp3\u2019s of their compositions (if musical). There also exists a PDF checklist<\/a> of all work included on the site.<\/span><\/p>\n Process (services): <\/b>The home page of the website is embedded deep within the MoMA website infrastructure, nestled within the interactive exhibition folders circa 2012. The direct link provided by this class to this web page is convenient, as it simplifies the visitor\u2019s ease of access. The network diagram of artists featured on this website is the main point of interest, and offers a minimal amount of interactivity via clicking on the nebulous, bobbing nodes, which then link the visitor to additional information about each artist. This complex node network system was made possible by the design company Second Story in collaboration with MoMA\u2019s curatorial and design team. Upon further inspection of the html code, one will find that the node network uses a google analytics node script, which offers the visitor a dynamic and accurately linked experience at which they may explore each artist\u2019s web buried within the larger network infrastructure. <\/span><\/p>\n Inventing Abstraction is an interactive historical web project that elaborates upon the vast network of artists, musicians, choreographers, and poets who contributed to the birth of abstraction — a … Continue reading “Inventing Abstraction”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nPresentations (display): <\/b>This site utilizes general design motifs and color schemes that mimic those of the Bauhaus style, which was an experimental art school (1919 – 1933) \u00a0placed at the latter half of the timeline focused on in the<\/span> Inventing Abstraction<\/span><\/i> exhibition (1910 – 1925). The layout of the node network page is generous and avoids any claustrophobic pitfalls of a cramped page that tries to fit too much into the window at one time; whenever a node is selected, the network narrows in size and focuses on a much smaller web of related individuals to give the subsequent text room to breathe. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
