Résumé :

This thesis is an exercise in responsibility regarding my actions as an architect. It is based upon the belief that architecture is a product conveying culture. While architecture can convey culture, it also has the potential to shape and facilitate change q in culture. Therefore, one can view the architect as more than a technician, making architecture stand and work properly, or an artist, concerned with the aesthetic/architectonic qualities of architecture, but rather as an active entity who can both convey and change cultural values through the built environment. The struggle in this thesis regarding responsibility has been to make my role more than an active entity in culture, but a consciously active entity in culture. Since I have long viewed culture as a political product and one's existence in culture as a political act, then one’s responsibility as an architect could be to make architecture as the conscious embodiment of a political ideology. For me, feminism is the political ideology, and Liberative Architecture is the conscious embodiment.

Résumé :

How could a contemporary archive in an art institution be organized, what can or should its parameters be? In recent years archiving has become an important subject for museums and galleries as they consider and organize the documentation and accessibility of their past activities and exhibitions. The article deals with the Fundació Antoní Tàpies in Barcelona and its special programmes to engage visitors in working with archive material in the museum space. The institutional framework developed at the Fundació includes the activation of different visitor groups, the establishing of online tools and the creation of new exhibitions based on archive material. These aspects aim at an open access to the archive for the public.

Résumé :

Between the National Gallery of Art and the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., the National Museum of Film and Photography design thesis explores issues of architecture at a scale of cultural significance. This thesis is the architectural manifestation of a museum as a research institution, separate from, yet contributing to an educational mission. It is inspired by the thin line between the two worlds, the public museum and the unseen, though often larger, private archive. In this thesis, a home for a treasury of artifacts was designed, so that they might be experienced, and for their intrinsic value. This design thesis explores the role of context, scale, and geometry in a building for the National Mall, as well as the critical requirements and specialized program of a museum. The orthogonal and radial geometry of the city are echoed in the plan. The building program, as well as the physical opportunities of the site, led to the form of the building. The simultaneous cycles of the artifact, the visitor, and the worker, and how they related to the role and amount of natural light also contributed to the form. The thesis is also developed based on the relationship between an object or a film, and a viewer.

Résumé :

The Project involves an architectural design for a facility located at the Tidal Basin on the Mall of the Washington District of Columbia. The Presidential Memorial Museum is a proposed facility to represent the presidential institution memorial and housing the exhibits of one of the most historical institutions in the country. The historical nature of the work represents the presidents of the United States, its artifacts, their collection exhibition and preservation of the objects and its meanings on the conmemorated site of Americaâ s people.

The work attempts towards the integration of architectural theories about museum buildings, site constraints, programming and purpose to represent Americaâ s Democracy. The building itself intends to contribute the encounter of a spacial and a democratic experience.

The defined spaces and architectural geometry are organized around an urban-landscape framework with an architectural display.

The Presidential Memorial Museum is developed with a method of design that involves a personal discernment in working with contemporary architectural design and programmatic concerns to create an expectation of the presidential future learning the historical background while making efforts to achieve the articulation and compatibility required by the immediate ambiance.

Corkill, Claire. « Knockaloe First World War internment camp : a virtual museum and archive ». Thesis, University of York, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7986/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

During the First World War Knockaloe Farm on the west coast of the Isle of Man became an internment camp home to almost 25,000 ‘enemy aliens’. These men, interned for the duration of the war turned their place of incarceration into a unique and productive community with facilities for work, sports and entertainment. The material culture of Knockaloe is wealthy in both quantity and style. Sources include postcards, camp newspapers, journals and photographs along with large collections in public and private ownership of craftwork produced for sale throughout Europe by the internees. This research aims to draw together the material culture of Knockaloe providing interpretation and accessibility through the creation of a virtual museum and archive. By drawing the material together and considering objects, documents and images collectively it is hoped to reconnect with the internees and their experiences within the camp. Through studying aspects of camp life such as the use of space, activities and broader issues such as identity and control and the consideration of other sites of designed and controlled settlement it will be possible to show if Knockaloe was a stereotypical representation of incarceration or if its constraints were relaxed allowing the internees to manipulate their environment.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Magister Artium - MA
Through a grant from the Atlantic Philanthropies Foundation the District Six Museum Foundation Trust purchased the Sacks Futeran buildings in 2002 with a view to creating new spaces of engagement that worked with exhibitions, issues of social justice and District Six returnees. The Futeran family, as a gesture of philanthropic donation, sold the building below market value thus enabling the museum to take ownership. This related directly to civic public giving that the work of the District Six Museum entails and was consistent with an understanding of community museums. Acquiring, transforming and museumising the set of five interconnected Sacks Futeran buildings to create the District Six Homecoming Centre has influenced and extended the notion of civic public giving in the museum work of the District Six Museum in relation to District Six returnees and the public. The examination of a history in and through buildings and more specifically the transformation in use, design, purpose and naming in this complex of buildings associated with a family business, E. Sacks Futeran & Co., is the purpose of this research. The oral histories of Martin and Gordon Futeran reveal the origins of their family wholesale clothing and fabric business established in 1906 by their great grandfather Elias Sacks and by extension the Jewish histories of District Six. The apartheid denial of ‘home’ within the Cape Town city bowl, resulting in forced removals of the inhabitants of District Six and the formation of the District Six Museum as a transactive community museum model on the heritage landscape of post-apartheid South Africa is examined. With reference to architectural materiality, the set of buildings as transitional space is ‘mapped’ as it has become the Homecoming Centre of the District Six Museum.Rennie Scurr Adendorff Architects blended older histories of the site with architectural aesthetic and technical expertise, and the Museum’s visions, philosophies and concepts were an integral part of the redevelopment. Over a number of years the Sacks Futeran buildings were restored and internally reconfigured and have been developed to dovetail with existing methodologies supporting the broader land restitution process. Through its spaces, a museum community is being nurtured by means of activism, notions of citizenship transforming District Six, the city and community museum practice in the process. The Fugard Theatre is an integral part of the Homecoming Centre and these buildings are experienced as a multi-functional cultural landmark within the District Six Cultural Heritage Precinct. By harnessing memory and materiality this study is relevant as a means of constituting historical urban fabric and a sensitivity of reconstructing a sense of place.

Résumé :

Esta tese se refere ao estudo do edifício do Museu Paulista, identificando as características da técnica construtiva tradicional de alvenarias, quanto ao sistema estrutural e os materiais empregados. Descreve as circunstâncias históricas, a evolução do emprego da taipa para o emprego do tijolo, e a inserção do edifício do Museu Paulista na cidade de São Paulo em meados do século XIX. Analisa as características que diferenciam um edifício histórico de um edifício moderno relativo às soluções estruturais e a natureza dos materiais. O sistema estrutural tem como elementos principais paredes e pés-direitos, arcos e abóbadas, colunas e pilastras, pisos de assoalho e abobadilha, e fundações. Os materiais são analisados quanto à presença de umidade constante, devido à inexistência de impermeabilização das fundações, a presença de sais solúveis, a porosidade dos materiais, a presença de microrganismos, e a relação com o tipo de tinta utilizada na pintura. Através do levantamento do histórico das intervenções, verifica-se que entre elas há aquelas que causaram danos ao edifício, pelo fato de não considerar as características específicas que o definem. Através de ensaios exploratórios, se reconstitui os traços das argamassas e identificam processos de danos
This thesis refers to the study of the building of Museu Paulista and identifies the characteristics of the traditional masonries constructions techniques that involves the structural systems and the materials used. It describes the historical circumstances and of the evolution of taipa to brick and the inclusion of the building of Museu Paulista in the city of São Paulo in the middle of XIX th Century. It also analyses the characteristics that differs one history and modern build structural solutions and the nature of materials. The main structural systems are constituted by walls, right feet, arch and vault, pilaster and colums, wooden floor, abobadilha, and foundation. The materials are analysed in the several aspects such as the presence of constant humidity, that occurs when there isnt the impermeabilization of the foundations; presence of solubles salts; the porosity of materials; the presence of microorganism and the type of paint used in the painting. Through the history intervations it is verified that amount them there are some generated caused damage to the building due the fact that the specified characteristics were not taken account of. Through the exploratories essays it is reconstructed the composition of the mortars and the identification of the damages process.

Résumé :

In designing a National Museum for the Imaging Arts, a dual obligation is created. It is to provide an intimate place for the cherishing of manifestations of the individual, while also creating, at the scale of the nation, a symbol of the civilization. Architecture accepts this obligation through the hierarchical scaling of the referents of order, material, space, and light.

Long, Shannon Rene. « PRESERVING, INTERPRETING, AND DISPLAYING MENTAL HEALTH HISTORY : ESTABLISHING THE PATTON STATE HOSPITAL MUSEUM AND ARCHIVE ». CSUSB ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu/etd/209.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

There are few museums in the western half of the United States that provide an opportunity to educate the public about the history of mental health care. Recently, a mental health museum and archive of artifacts, photographs, and documents was established on the grounds of Patton State Hospital in Highland, California. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the establishment of this museum and archive and to provide an account of the 125 year history of Patton State Hospital. Understanding the history of Patton provides an opportunity to understand the history of mental health care in the United States from the late 19th century to the present. The establishment of this museum and archive became a joint initiative between Patton and California State University, San Bernardino’s History Department in January 2014. The museum and archive are meant to provide an educational venue that will increase awareness of the plight of the mentally ill, decrease stigmatization of those afflicted with mental illness, and further efforts to improve the care of patients through preservation and display of the artifacts, photographs, and documents related to Patton’s history. The goal of this paper is to assist future public historians with the design and establishment of a museum and/or archive, be it related to mental health history or to projects with other themes, and to provide information to other mental health facilities that wish to establish their own museums.

In an effort to confront global warming and the increasing scarcity of resources, the preservation community began several years ago to adopt sustainable and green building practices and metrics for historic rehabilitation projects. As a result, there is an ever growing number of rehabilitated historic buildings in the United States not only incorporating sustainable building designs but also achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Most of these are large, architect-designed buildings in urban settings rehabilitated for cultural and commercial uses. This thesis explores the application of the LEED 2009 New Construction and Major Renovation Rating System for the development of a sustainable rehabilitation plan for the modest vernacular 1897 Jeff. Smith's Parlor Museum in Skagway, Alaska. The goal of this research is to demonstrate how the LEED rating system might be applied to the rehabilitation of this building and other historic vernacular buildings.

Résumé :

The work involves an architectural design for a facility located on The Mall in Washington, District of Columbia. The Museum of American Immigrants is a proposed facility for housing the exhibits regarding immigration sequences and their development that make up the United States of America. The ethnographic nature of the work, its artifacts, their collection, exhibition, preservation, and mutations is seen as a means to nurture our better understanding of the on-going struggle with the experiment called America. With reference to current theories of museum architecture, examples of other similar museum buildings, site constraints, and programming, the work strives towards the integration of architecture and purpose. The building is expected to provide layers of experience in both spatial and ethnic terms. The precise geometry defines the spaces and voids, while the way the exhibits are organized defines the building as a framework of displays. The design method used in developing the building called The Museum of American Immigrants has involved a personal understanding in working with the contemporary design Vocabulary and programmatic concerns to create a learning environment for the Visitors while making every effort to achieve contextual balance and harmony required by the surroundings.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis project was instigated by the interest to remodel a historic building in downtown Bogota, Colombia, South America. The Bavaria Brewery, the first and oldest beer producer in the country, will be transformed into a retail/recreational facility composed of small-stores, restaurants and a museum.The red-brick structure was designed in 1891 by Alejandro Manrique, to resemble a German brewery. As this brewery grew in popularity, the buildings underwent many alterations and additions. Sufficient changes were made to obscure the building's original design. As it's machinery was updated and more space was needed, the brewery was forced to move to a more industrial area of Bogota city.In 1988 a renewal plan was made for Bavaria Brewery site. New use was proposed for the area including residential and central activities. An urban central park intended to be the focal point of the project.Because the interior was in good shape, the original floor plan remained unaltered with only one new level being built using two-story spaces. The interior was designed for its new function as a shopping center, which has resulted in a place where there is a great variety of activities connected by a system of walkways, corridors, tunnels and two outside elevators.On the exterior all historic elements have been preserved, though all new elements are clearly distinguished from the old but in a manner sympathetic to the industrial character of the Bavaria Brewery.These buildings have been evolutionary in their structure, never static, they have been marked with the imprint of different periods. As a result the design will reflect the present, recall the past, and insinuate the future.

Résumé :

This thesis outlines, documents and evaluates my Practice as Research contribution toward the curatorial process of addressing the specific material identity of Ivor Davies’ performance work and destruction art practice for exhibition in National Museum Cardiff. The thesis comprises a contextual review (exploring the relationship between performance, curatorial practice and the Museum), exhibition case studies, and an analysis of the histories of Davies’ destruction art-related 1960s performance practice as it has been disseminated through publications, archiving and exhibitions. It introduces the strategies applied to the presentation of these artworks in the context of the artist’s 2015 solo retrospective exhibition – in particular, strategies of ‘remediation’ – and locates them in a differentiated understanding of the nature of the work on the one hand, and the needs of a museum exhibition on the other. The research proposes ‘remediation’ (as opposed to reconstruction, re-enactment and other reiterative strategies that are widespread in current curatorial practice) as a suitable strategy for exhibiting historical performance art in the Museum, which bases curatorial decisions not on the similarity to the original (historical) event, but on recovering and preserving key elements and performative qualities of the work, thus providing a continuum between historical and contemporary spectatorship. Through documentation and discussion of the curatorial strategies and processes applied (including archiving, exhibition design, and approaches to presentation) the thesis encourages reflection on the reproducibility of Davies’ performance artworks and the influence that exhibition has on these works’ appearance and experience. The thesis provides new insight into the materiality of Davies’ performance work (exemplified in the exhibition particularly by the approach to the presentation of Davies’ 1968 multimedia experimental theatre event, Adam on St Agnes’ Eve, and his performance lecture at the 1966 Ravensbourne Symposium), which throws new light upon the formal diversity of performance in the UK in the late 1960s. By doing so, the thesis aims to provide substantial new insight into curatorial practice with relevance to the further study of exhibitions of historical performance art in museum contexts more broadly.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Taking hoarding as a model for amassing materials within art practice, this research questions the borders of a productive or rational relationship to collation and the development of pathology. In practice, I focus on how materials can be manipulated to reflect or imply attachments and value systems within disorder, collection and their interpretations/ analyses. Using historical examples, I question how disorder is formed, spatially, aesthetically and through clinical record-keeping, making specific reference to written/visual case-studies from Charcot and Freud. I question whether disorder can ever be seen as a culturally produced phenomenon in parallel to its clinical counterpart and suggest its uses to knowledge production within the fields of Fine Art and critical theory. I suggest hoarding – and the cultural construction of disorder - as collagist and create works, which reflect on the borders of psychopathological attachments to ‘stuff’; psychologies inherent to accumulation; and conscious and unconscious spaces occupied by both object and analysis. Creating new collagist and fictive methodologies out of the construction of case histories, and through the cooption of diagnostic tools and narratology used in psychoanalysis, I write about the work and within the work. This research questions how psychological disorder is re-narrated through fictive and visual forms within culture and via collective understandings of psychoanalytic subjectivities. I suggest how these fictions connect, accumulate and reflect back on themselves, affecting research and crossovers within psychoanalytic, spatial and cultural fields. I make links between the modern city and psychological disorder, drawing on the psychical affects of changes in urban space. Examining collation, the construction of psychological spaces and temporality in art practice (from Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau to Michael Landy’s Break Down and Tomoko Takahashi’s collation of objects) alongside new clinical research into Hoarding Disorder, I relate compulsion and space to a rationalisation of clutter in contemporary practice.

It aims to understand the \'dispositifs\' that determines the public\'s movement and behavior in the exhibition spaces and sets a dialogue with other artists\' work which also have the museum as a matter. The process of the work construction starts with a personal archive with images, sound records, among other materials collected in the museum. The research develops into the Vertices/ Vectors, proposed to the arts space at USP. This work reinforces images and sounds appropriated from this archive, articulated with light projection. The dissertation is set up like an artist\'s book, a file-box composed by five brochures, in which theoretical reflections, process notes and a commentary about the work are articulated. Part of the research is also shared on the section \"Rede\" of the on-line platform of the Fórum Permanente.

Résumé :

Nach Rösler (1988) sind in seinem Lehrbuch der Mineralogie „Minerale stofflich homogene, meist feste, kristalline und anorganische Grundbausteine der natürlichen Materie“. Die International Mineralogical Association (IMA) gab folgende Definitionen: „Minerale sind Elemente oder chemische Verbindungen, die normalerweise kristallin und die als Ergebnis eines geologischen Prozesses entstanden sind“ (Nickel 1995) und etwas erweiternd „eine Mineralsubstanz ist ein natürlich vorkommender Feststoff, der durch einen geologischen Prozess auf der Erde oder in einem extraterrestrischen Körper gebildet wurde“ (Nickel & Grice 1998). Natürliche geologische Prozesse auf der Erde, aber auch auf Himmelskörpern, und die Kristallinität sind also wichtige Merkmale. Kristalle sind feste Körper mit dreidimensional periodisch angeordneten Bausteinen. [Aus der Einleitung.]

Résumé :

The Mental Health Memories project is an online archive created in order to display and preserve the personal histories of those with mental health experiences. The project aims to fill a void in available material culture related to the history of mental health and its preservation. Participants’ contributions include: oral histories, personal items, documents, and audio. Bringing together multimedia sources, the MHMemories website allows for the preservation of these items and stories through the digitization of contributions. This method allows for participants’ items to stay in their possession while also becoming part of the archive. In order to recruit participants, the Mental Health Memories project teamed up with the Psychiatric Stories Archive, based at California State University San Bernardino, and the San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Clubhouse. Three collection days facilitated the gathering of materials. The final product is the MHMemories.org/.com website which showcases the contributions of participants. The Mental Health Memories project helps to illustrate the diversity of mental health experiences.

Résumé :

Tree-ring series of oak, from both living trees (Quercus petraea and Q. robur) and historic timbers in southeastern Slovenia were assembled into a 548-year regional chronology spanning the period A.D. 1456–2003. It is currently the longest and the most replicated oak chronology in this part of Europe located at the transition between Mediterranean, Alpine and continental climatic influence. The chronology correlated significantly with regional and local chronologies up to 700 km away in Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Czech Republic and southern Germany. It also showed good ‘‘heteroconnection’’, i.e. agreement with chronologies of beech (Fagus sylvatica), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and silver fir (Abies alba) in Slovenia. A preliminary dendroclimatic analysis shows that precipitation and temperature in June accounted for a high amount of variance (r250.51) in the tree-ring widths. The chronology thus contains considerable potential as a climate archive. We also present its use as a tool for the dating of wooden objects of the cultural heritage. Moreover, the chronology can be a point of reference for building tree-ring chronologies in neighboring regions.

Résumé :

Sir John Soane (1753--1837) is an intriguing character. This architect has transformed his London House into a Museum. The only thing we have left of him is the House and three Descriptions of it. I will not try to put apart what Sir John Soane has done in his House but see what he has done. Soane invites us in the House, lets you visit it and be lost. Once you have dived, accepted the invitation, you have found a house full of art objects gathered to teach architecture. Art and architecture meet. The experience is haunting. Through it the architect rediscovers the story of objects to identify, the everyday story he builds. The experience of the House is a mirroring of Soane's mind. The House which makes the architect understand his projection upon others. The amplitude and generosity of his vision becomes history.

Résumé :

The fresh new approach taken by today's children's museums offers great potential for an equally fresh approach to the architecture which houses these special places. Just as the "exhibits" at the children's museums invite a new relationship between the visitor and the museum collection, so too should the architecture encourage a new interaction between the individual and the built structure, between the institution and the urban environment. The new Children's Discovery Museum proposed for Washington, D.C. takes the theme of interaction as its basis. The design aims to promote a new level of participation between the people, the building, and the city. In this way, the attitude which is central in making children's museums so special was adapted to form an architectural framework: that all children -- regardless of age -- might discover a more meaningful connectedness to the built world around them.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

La maggior parte dei musei italiani è allestita all'interno di edifici storici che non nascono per questa destinazione d'uso. Le sale espositive risultano quindi non ottimali per il comfort acustico. Nei casi di elevata affluenza questo può arrivare ad influenzare la qualità della fruizione. Si è quindi provveduto a qualificare l'acustica di una sala espositiva e a monitorarne l'attività antropica, che è la principale sorgente di rumore. Il caso studio è il Salone del Nicchio, la prima sala espositiva del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, situato all'interno del seicentesco Palazzo della Crocetta. La sala è stata qualificata mediante misure di qualità acustica a norma ISO 3382 e misure fonometriche di background noise. Queste ultime risultano influenzate da molteplici aspetti, quali le interazioni tra il livello di emissione della voce e il rumore di fondo ed i processi comportamentali di feedback. È stato applicato un nuovo modello previsionale, calibrato per mezzo di dati sperimentali, per l'ottimizzazione del layout espositivo e dei flussi di persone al fine di migliorare il comfort acustico nella sala.

Résumé :

This master thesis is about the Estonian-Swedish astro-optician Bernhard Schmidt (1879-1935) and his legacy. He was born on the island of Nargö outside Tallinn in Estonia. In 1930 he invented a special optical system for telescopes called the Schmidt telescope or Schmidt camera. At that time Bernhard Schmidt was working as a freelance at the Bergedorf observatory outside Hamburg in Germany. His invention contributed to astronomical research which changed our view of the sky and of the universe. The time he was living in was politically turbulent and science was flourishing. The written sources about Bernhard Schmidt and his telescope are mainly published in German, Russian, Estonian and English. Almost nothing is published in Swedish. The sources to his personal history and the archive material concerning him are partly scattered and it is difficult to assemble a complete picture. The purpose is to find and to map out what kind of archive material is preserved about him. The aim is also to find out who is in charge of it and how accessible it is. Is there global access to the material? Observatories, museums and archives in Sweden, Germany and Estonia were visited to map his legacy. The theories of James Cuno (2008) and the triad or three principles of management: preservation, knowledge and access were used in the analysis of the findings. Most material is kept and preserved at the Hamburg Bergedorf observatory, University of Hamburg. This is also the place where Bernhard Schmidt spent the last years of his life and it is here we can find his burial site. At the Hamburg Bergedorf observatory today there is a Bernhard Schmidt archive, a Schmidt museum with the first prototype of his telescope and an archive of photographic plates with photographic pictures of the stars and other astronomical objects. The two archives are in a digitalizing process and when completed they will be globally accessible and a part of our global heritage.

Résumé :

The project is located in West Plam Beach, Florida. The Design Process Involved with the urban Plan included these structures: an aquarium, outdoor theater, re-designed library, urban park, landscape plan for the Exploratorium, and the designing of the Exploratorium. A model was completed to show the Exploratrium and its relationship to the urban plan. The design for The Bauhaus For Children is the result of doing research on art/ architectural education and the role of the architect. I feel, the architect needs to play the role of an educator.The majority of society have little teaching in the field of art or architecture. This means the architect, responsible to everyone for what he does, should motivate society to learn. This project is located on a site with civic concerns The site was used as the ferry boat landing and now houses the Public Library. With the new design and functions for the site, it fullfills the need for being civic. My design was created from a series of diagramatic models and images. This series of diagrams dealt wth the reading of the city in order to create a design language. I feel, the project has addressed the civic concern through the marriage of science and art. Architecture is more understandable to the public when it tries to blend the language of its setting with that of the image. My project is a result of this marriage. The Bauhaus For Children evolved into a Center within the City Center that educates society about art, architecture, and science.

Résumé :

People cannot be trained to marvel at landscapes, nor to love their places and their planet. On the other hand, love of place and of the Earth are scarcely sentimental extras to be indulged only when all technical and material problems have been resolved... The experiences of places, spaces and landscapes in which academic geography originates are a fundamental part of everyone's experience, and geography has no exclusive claim to them. Indeed, one of the first aims of a phenomenology of geography should be to retrieve these experiences from the academic netherworld and to return them to everyone by reawakening a sense of wonder about the Earth and its places. (1.) Designing a place which reawakens a sense of wonder of the Earth becomes the mission statement for this design thesis: a place which emphasizes the very real and immediate experiences which we share with the land (and landforms) that cannot only support our daily existence, but can soar above us to heights which inspire myth and imagination; a place which uniquely reveals itself to each person promoting personal observations and personal interpretations.

Résumé :

During the 1990s, artists started to explore the possibilities of the World Wide Web. This thesis investigates online artworks by studying their agency. Why do people interact with them, as if they are alive? How do they mobilise people, or make them share visions and ideas? Based on research in largely untapped archives, it presents an in-depth examination of several case studies, exploring the artwork's ability to have the power to act in a variety of social settings. Through studying the life trajectory of the artwork, it also offers insights in how these dynamic entities undergo changes over time and across cultures. Grounded in theoretical literature on the agency of art, this research offers an innovative way of understanding Internet art and it contributes to wider conversations about the agency of art and artefacts. Case studies include: Mouchette (Martine Neddam), 'Mouchette' (1996-present). Web project (www.mouchette.org). Collection of Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam). Shu Lea Cheang, 'Brandon' (1998-1999).
