Abstract:
While technology is often seen as a noisy, impatient and pervasive aspect of our lives, this practice-led research project investigated the counter proposition–that we might be able to evoke sensations of stillness through technology-mediated artworks. Investigations into stillness were informed by Buddhism, phenomenology, and experiences of meditation and the practice of archery. By combining visual art, performance, installation, video and interaction design, a series of experimental, interdisciplinary artworks were produced and exhibited to evoke a sense of stillness and to impel audiences to consider the form and nature of stillness in relation to time, space and motion.

Thesis, University of Roehampton, 2016. https://pure.roehampton.ac.uk/portal/en/studentthesis/an-attempt-to-mirror-the-painterly-and-stillness-in-autobiographical-visual-practice(9573f5c6-22c2-46d2-a871-e6425fecf397).html.
Abstract:
An Attempt to Mirror the Painterly and Stillness in Autobiographical Visual Practice is a practice-as-research project consisting of a portfolio of videos, photographs, and the documentation of live performances, and a written thesis. The written part is intended to work as a supportive body of material for the portfolio – or ‘brackets’, as it will be referred in the text – revealing the creative process behind those artworks, and the central thinkers, writers and artists that are relevant to this study, as well as offering contextualisation through an exploration of the lineage of other artists and discussions within which my practice-as-research project resides. The writing is built around the idea of ‘attempts’, in a written interpretation of a method I have applied to many of the artworks. Another key word of the study, the aforementioned brackets, is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s use of brackets in her novel To The Lighthouse. In this thesis I will explain the way in which these brackets have inspired me in the creation of many of the artworks. This will also offer an insight into how I relate to the text from within a visual artistic practice generally, and how using the brackets as a concept has also become a tool for identifying relationships between the art pieces presented in the portfolio and the written thesis itself. The text also reveals the multifaceted role of the painterly within this study project. The painterly will be discussed as a poetic-atmospheric visual frame for the artworks, and will also be explored in terms of how it emerges if the movement or the moving image is slowed down, which in turn brings this painterly quality of the artwork into close parallel with the still life painting genre. Finally, I will demonstrate, through the exploration of three artists from the past – Gwen John, Helene Schjerfbeck, and Virginia Woolf – the complexity of the writings of art history, biographies, and autobiographies.

Moroney, Kathleen. "Stillness in motion : an interdisciplinary study of movement in time and space through ceramics and dance." Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2017. http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/8476/.
Abstract:
The research investigates stillness as movement in time and space explored and exploited through an interdisciplinary study of ceramics and dance. Exercises consistent with Butoh, a Japanese dance form, are employed as an exploratory tool to facilitate a broader interpretation of stillness as motion through a corporeal processing of concepts such as time and space. Laban's 'principles of movement' are observed, explored and employed as a method used in choreography to analytically study movement as still components of a flux within space to inform dance composition. This study maps a path to practice that involves the constructing of a material bridge that links two disciplines, ceramics and dance, through similarities and varying approaches to a shared area of concern: movement in time and space. The constructing of this path to practice and its effect on the composing and installing of ceramic composition is the focus of the study. The study begins with the contextualising of 'stillness' as a state of 'movement in time' through Bergson's concepts in philosophy. The experience of real time is located internally by the philosopher Heidegger, who references real time as lived time felt in and through the body. At this point in the research the path transitions to a physical and performative engagement with 'stillness in time and space' in search of its qualities and textures, which shifts studio practice for a period of time from ceramics to dance practice. Two three-part case studies are constructed from participation in a Butoh dance workshop and through the observation of a choreography workshop. Studio experimentation follows which maps a ceramic path to practice through the perspective of dance, exploring the potential to share learning across a disciplinary divide. The final part of the case studies involves the composing and constructing of ceramic installations through the shared perspective of ceramics and dance. This thesis contributes to the discourse on interdisciplinary practice, specifically relating to ceramics and dance. It provides a transferable model of research that merges two fields of practice, broadening and intensifying the experience of learning through a combined kinesthetic, visual and cognitive approach. This model has been tested as an extension of this research within the field of dance and within a therapeutic environment to effect learning.

Abstract:
This thesis explores still life across different media in the early-to mid-twentieth century. Still life has long been characterised as a 'minor' genre due to its supposedly humble subject matter. However, the genre conjures up double, often paradoxical meanings, which unsettle these assumptions. I therefore propose a more elastic interpretation, to invoke still life as a genre of visual art but also as a condition in which all arts are implicated, a form of artistic practice, and a mode of being. I argue that modern still life represents a site of visceral encounter and an artistic practice with the potential to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary. My inquiry takes its departure from still lifes by Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), and responses to them by modem writers. I examine these works as paradigmatic of a reanimation of the genre in twentieth-century art. Over the ensuing four chapters, I explore diverse permutations of still life in painting, prose, dance, sculpture, and poetry. My first chapter focuses on Virginia Woolf and Roger Fry; the second on Margaret Morris, J.D. Fergusson, and Rudolf Steiner; the third on Winifred Nicholson, Ben Nicholson, and Ivon Hitchens; and the fourth on Wallace Stevens and Charles Mauron. I consider works by these artists and the networks within which they operated to examine different ways in which they cultivated an aesthetic of vibratory attentiveness that can be illuminated in conjunction with still life. From this study emerges a broader sense of the significance of 'stillness' in cultural practices and aesthetic discourses of the period. I show that at the heart of modern artistic activity were forms of 'stillness' that were intimately bound up with movement. The still life emerges charged with animation, vibration and rhythm.

Abstract:
Mötet med närstående till patienter som avlidit är ett stressfyllt möte, både för närstående och sjuksköterskan. Tidigare forskning visade att närstående önskade få tydlig information och söker trygghet hos varandra. Närstående upplevde sjuksköterskan som en stor källa för trygghet och stöd i sorgprocessen. Den professionalitet och säkerhet hon förmedlar var av stor vikt för närståendes upplevelse av hela vårdtiden. Syftet med studien var att beskriva erfarna intensivvårdssjuksköterskors reflektioner från möten med närstående till patienter som avlidit. En intervjustudie med kvalitativ ansats gjordes. Informanterna i denna studie kunde alla klassificeras som skickliga och expertsjuksköterskor enligt Benners utvecklingsstadier för sjuksköterskan. Informanterna beskrev möten som kunde delas in i följande huvudteman för att ge stöd till de närstående som, trygghet, lyhördhet, stillhet och lugn. Med hjälp av dessa huvudteman upplevde informanterna att de kunde skapa optimala förutsättningar för att skapa stillhet och lugn.Meeting patient’s next of kin after decease is a stressful meeting for both the next of kin and the advanced practice nurse. Preceding research showed that the next of kin sought to receive information that was easy to understand and that they seek solace from each other. The advanced practice nurse was experienced as a great source of comfort and support in the grieving process by next of kin. Professionalism and support mediated by the advanced practice nurse was of great importance for the next of kin’s experience of the hospitalization period. The aim of this study was to describe experienced intensive care unit nurses reflections of meeting next of kin to patients who are diseased. An interview study with a qualitative approach was done. The informants in this study could all be classified as the skilful and the expert nurse according to Benners stages of progression for the nurse. The informants described main themes to support and comfort the next of kin, they were; feeling secure, attentiveness, stillness. With the aid of these categories the informants experienced that they could create the optimal conditions in creating stillness in the storm that the next of kin are in after death has occurred.

Abstract:
The present work represents both: a design proposal and a proposal for design.Today we are exposed to more and louder noise than ever before in all areas of human life, which alters the environment, our health and the quality of social interaction to the worse. Therefore, this project takes its departure point in the concept of Stille (German for stillness and silence) in order to oppose this culture of noise. Our surroundings influence our actions and vice versa we alter these surroundings with our actions. However, since constructed within every detail, they do not allow a transient feedback to take place naturally. A possible otherness is hardly attainable in an overly planned reality.This thesis seeks to transcend the boundaries where descriptive language ceases to function and introduces materiality and interactive devices to evoke other avenues of reflection where the boundaries of actor, context and artefact converge. The proposal at hand embodies the fundamental principles of Stille in order to exploit aspects of parametric design and contingency. It imagines and materialises alternative ways of a potentially open process in which our physical environment could continuously constitute itself. Both hidden and apparent aspects of reality are unraveled and transformed into artifacts. The work depicts the transient complexity of reality and the contingent influence of everyone on our surroundings. How is our behaviour altered by the materialisation of ideas? How receptive is the current design practice to a constantly changing reality?

Abstract:
Diploma thesis Background identity is a series of events through which I am trying to find a harmony between the magic of art and life. I decided to initiate the situation, "performance" mediating an authentic, strong feelings. I tend to performance associated with life in the self-reflective approach. Based in my own performative practice in which the strength and authenticity is reflected primarily in the exchange of energy between the audience and the performer. I started to define an ideal conditions for performance to achieve this exchange, authentic experience and mutual perception of the situation within the relationship between "performer" and "spectator". In November 2015 I planned "authentic performances " series . The mutual forming of "performing" act I have anchored in the concept of identity, which is infinitely formed in relationships and the never-ending negotiation process. In the name of authenticity I am exposing myself within the anonymity of public space and waiting for the moment of identification. Waiting for concrete spectator who is already a part of me within a certain social role. Unexpected intervention into the everyday life of concrete person make the opportunity of authentic experience. Experience which is a part of his everyday life completes the action, giving the context. During the realization I got the opportunity to exhibit in the Palais de Tokyo. Aware of the significance of this opportunity for the development of my own artistic career I have decided to accepted it as a challenge. Although the terms of institution are utter contradiction of those conditions I had defined previously for authentic experience. In the name of authenticity and my principles I decided to be present in the role of spectator. To be invisible to this prestigious gallery. Be invisible to the artistic group Delta Total through which I had the opportunity to exhibit. To be inside and outside in the same time. The starting point of the last part is a necessity with the goal to get a master's degree. The necessity of outcome for jury can also betray my ideals of living authentic event. I should mediate all the experience of past events (to date 20th of April- thirty-three events) which happened in so many different places in the space of "Malá Amerika" in Brno...

Abstract:
This collection of stories explores moments of stillness in human relationships:
moments during an argument when there is nothing to say, moments of quiet
contemplation which precedes inevitable--and often unwelcome--life changes,
moments of frustration, confusion, despair, and grace. In the chaotic lives of these
characters, stillness is neither tranquil nor gentle. Rather it is an oppressive silence,
heavy with the weight of the unspoken. Ultimately, the collection explores another
kind of stillness too: a stillness of heart.Graduation date: 2003

Abstract:
In this paper, the imagery of public exhibition spaces, museums, and public collections is discussed in relationship to my body of work. I engage ideas of stillness, the creation of alternate realities, and how preconceptions shape interpretation. My interest in stillness and the activation of captured moments is expressed through the relationship between Cabela’s and my photographic archive. By compositing and reconstructing these images, I shift the viewer’s perception of reality. I thus explore how these aesthetic considerations generate fictitious interpretations. Dependent upon the viewer, my drawings transform the reality of the photographic so that we are confronted by the nature of our preconceptions.text

Maxheleau, Suzanne. "Stillness : the dance of creation." Thesis, 2007. http://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/975459/1/MR34709.pdf.
Abstract:
The experience of stillness is one which has been studied through meditation and in relation to the dance/movement experience. There seems to be a close correspondence between stillness and the creative or art making process and thus, I postulate that stillness is an inherent part of the creative process. Following a heuristic line of inquiry, I sought to discover the nature of stillness and as it relates to the creative process through my own experiences. In this paper I share my journey through the various stages and realisations which have led me to learn how to further enhance the experience of stillness, to listen to and trust tacit knowledge, and to use art making for its potential to quiet the discursive mind.

The project STILLNESS - Entre o Corpo e a Imagem, Notas sobre o Híbrido na Vídeo- Instalação is situated on the side of the body, over here, in wich is the exploration of the fisical nuances of the projection display beyond the image, forcing a re-evaluation of the bidimensional and temporal planes. That is to say that it is established the body-image over here (the body) and over there (the image), in an uninterrupted ensemble of concepts that try to define the other, called here a hybrid. In a discourse that aims to be deeply transdisciplinary, we try to define the performative body and the projection of its image in the space of the video installation, and the way that its different elements connect each other and how they build up the different universes and fields of action. Being the hybrid a fusion between different disciplines, expressions, languages, ways of doing and seeing, a study of this case is in the order of the day.

The abnormal crowd behavior detection is an important research topic in computer vision to improve the response time of critical events. In this thesis, we introduce a novel method to detect and locate the crowd gathering in surveillance videos. The proposed foreground stillness model is based on the foreground object mask and the dense optical flow to measure the instantaneous crowd stillness level. Further, we obtain the long-term crowd stillness level by the break bucket model, and the crowd gathering behavior can be detected by the threshold analysis. Experimental results indicate that our proposed approach can detect and locate crowd gathering events, and it is capable of distinguishing between standing and walking crowd. The experiments in realistic scenes with 84% accuracy for detection of gathering frames show that our method is effective for crowd gathering behavior detection.

As a disciple of Wang Yang-ming, Nieh Shiang-chiang (1487-1563) is famous for introducing the doctrine of returning to stillness. This thesis aims to show in what way Nieh’s doctrine results from his re-interpretation of Wang Yang-ming’s doctrine of liang-chih. In view of the negative development of the School of Wang Yang-ming after the master’s death, Nieh rejects the identification of liang-chih as a principle of perception. In order to counter the negative development, he also tries to explicate the concept of liang-chih in terms of the concept of “stillness” and of the “mean.” Besides, he denies the possibility of an instantious atualization of liang-chih. Finally, he eluicidates the essence of liang-chih with the help of the schema of substance-function. All this, however, gives rise to the suspicion that his doctrine is derivant from his master’s original position. In particular, his opposition to the posisilbity of an instantious actulaization of liang-chih would weaken the dynamic of moral praxis. But this thesis will argue that these differences merely indicate Nieh’s uniqueness in the theory of praxis, but his doctrine, in reality, remains consistent with Wang Yang-ming’s poisiton. In justifying such a claim, it will show that ontologically with the emphasis on returning to stillness, Nieh aims to reinforce the transcendence status of liang-chih. Further, on the level of moral praxis, its distinctive character is shown in his ideas of cultivating the mind by means of the respect for the moral laws and the sublime Heaven, and acting according to the natural Beconing. All this indicates that Nieh’s Confucian doctrine still belongs to the School of Mind.

The abnormal event detection become an important topic recently. This paper present a method to detect the crowd gathering and commotion event after crowd gathering. The proposed stillness model and motion model is based on improved background subtraction and optical flow. We construct a stillness level by the break bucket model and clustering the stillness level. The clustering data allow to detecting the gathering event by threshold analysis. Furthermore, motion model allow to detecting commotion after crowd gathering. In the experiment, we used the dataset of PET2009. The proposal method is verified by the experiment with 97% accuracy.

This essay mainly focuses on the issue of “the dialectic of temporality” in Yuan Zhe-Sheng’s novels. In Yuan’s works, there are different types of “temporality”, or “concepts of time”, and he concerned about the conflicts, resistance, and dialectic among these concepts deeply. “Modern temporality” is the general “scene” or “background” in this essay, and the discussion will aim at the resisting dialectic against “modern temporality” presented in Yuan Zhe-Sheng’s novels. That is, the motion of “nostalgia” triggers a seeking of “stillness” in time, and refers to a “sealing” concept of temporality. In the essay, it is the theory of Kant interpreted by Deleuze gives a theoretical basis of “modern temporality”, which believes that “time” is a kind of “pure, empty form” and the “inner sense” or “the form of interiority” of the modern subject. On the other hand, the temporality of “sealing” and the temporality of “stillness” triggered by the motion of “nostalgia” presented in Yuan Zhe-Sheng’s novels, refer to the concepts of “virtual” and “coexistence” in Bergson’s theory of time and memory. In the final part of this essay, it concentrates on the time in the work of art and its dialectic with the “actual time”, and the discussion bases on the viewpoints of Deleuze, which focus on the systems of sign and time in the analysis toward Proust’s work. Through these profound, unique concepts of time, the discussion toward modern temporality in Yuan Zhe-Sheng’s novels could be more accurate, and the vision more expanded.

Mankind face a complicated and diverse social environment, body become a vessel for multiple characters, the human body brings emotion, and many messages. Using the “human form” as an element to represent humanity in a modern society, through transformation, distortion and composition, brings a new perception in the form. During the working progress, attempting to investigate how different material would have its own interpretation of human form, hoping a deconstruction and combination of soft and hard line, would penetrate the spatial aesthetic of body sculpture, and purified it with streaming and simplicity. The thesis focus on works between 2007 and 2010, which their motives and ideas will be presented in words. The thesis will be divided into five chapters. The first chapter explains my background and ideas, stating the reason for employing human figure. The second chapter discusses sculpture in classical, modern and contemporary period. The third chapter will first describe the property and character of materials, secondly, the intending meaning of the materials selected. The fourth chapter will explain the concept of working progress. In ideas of works, illustrate the configuration, formation and techniques which derive from the composition of material. Works'' content will be shown through the relationships between ideas, form, medium and technique. The works are shown in four series, namely: “Plaster series: Weighty life”, “Steel series: Dancing steel”, “Steel series: Extension of line”, and “Steel series: Leaping steel”. The fifth chapter of the thesis is the conclusion, providing a comprehensive discussion on works and future project.

The light manifestation in Johanne Vermeer’s paintings is completely different from Rembrandt’s (Rembrant, Harrmenszoon van Rijn) art work, which the appearances not only came with the mysterious "spiritual light", but also not illustrate a Protestant mysticism of the "inner light"; however, it only expresses very ordinary "natural light". Johanne Vermeer transforms the mysterious power of the soul to the tableau and makes it externalized in the specific manner. To take a quick scan of the paint will only find a distinctive temperament; nevertheless, it takes a while for me to appreciate that the ordinary painting, which represents a theme of tranquility and stillness, just like "the beauty" and "time" in the presence of light. Thus, I love the painting of Johanne Vermeer more and more as time goes by. To me, the art works of Johanne Vermeer are purely paintings but nothing else. In his mechanisms, whether in the daily lives of ordinary appliances, furnishings or figures with elegant aura, makes people eager to enjoy the endless pleasure of eternal scene. Johanne Vermeer develops his mechanisms on a plain and mature approach and focus selectively on the housewives who not only breathe the beauty of hard-working, but also satisfy people spiritually and intimately. I am inspired by this sensation to convey the emotional scenes in the scenery of silence. The scholar, Edward A. Snow comments how Johanne Vermeer conceives and execute the “light” in his paint and state “The light sprinkles through the door and window gently, reflects on the face of those figures, hovers in the sleeves and lace clothes and end up with flashing on the surface of the stillness. His perfect skills make simple stillness no longer seems to be the debris in this world. In the light, it exposes the desire, things that can not be crossed over and Mirage that cannot be achieved”. Johanne Vermeer’s paint represents steady and peaceful temperament, which is what I would like to express the beauty of it in the period of creation. It is also the guidelines he followed as creative pattern. The purpose of this article is through out the research, creative experiences and unique paint skills to generate my own art work, which will meet my own expectation.

Interweaving authors and artists from different areas of knowledge and expression, this thesis shows how those diverse proposals and ideas pave the way for an alternative path, and possibility for the construction of symbiosis between presences.

The powerlesness of the small gestures makes us feel frustration and discouragement. How can we resist the false performativity of the capitalized bodies ? Which postures could create lapses of dissension to the hallucination and the violence of progress ?
