《北史》后《艺术传》的变动

“二十六史”《艺术传》的撰述存在一个概念上的变动及内容的变化。《魏书》为《术艺传》,《晋书》至《北史》皆为《艺术传》,到了“新、旧唐书”及以后,概念发生变动,均为“方技(方伎)”,是为《方技传》或《方伎传》,直至《清史稿》才恢复《艺术传》。看似《艺术传》出现了“断层”,但从各“列传”的“小序”和入传者的事项与内容分析,“二十六史”《艺术传》在历代的正史里延续的是祖述,《北史·艺术传》以后《方技传》或《方伎传》的内容,大致还是医术、方经、占卜、阴阳,兼有相术、巧思、画塑等类型,延续了《魏书·术艺传》《北史·艺术传》以来的类型谱系与脉络路径。

《艺术传》“断层”后“艺术”内容迁移《文学传》《文苑传》

《北史·艺术传》以后的新旧《唐书》变更了“艺术”的概念,该类传是为《方技(伎)传》,看似《艺术列传》形成一个“断层”,究其《艺术传》的内容转移或隐移在其他《传》和《志》中,成为另一种并行的方式传承艺术内容。最为直接的是《艺文志·子部》用了“杂艺术”或“艺术”,包括《文苑传》《文学传》《文艺传》中绘画、书法,以及《音乐志》《乐志》等有关音律的脉络,为《清史稿》重构《艺术传》奠定了宽广的艺术内容,展现了中国传统艺术的本来面貌。

Digital Art as Urban Communication

As mobility and migration become the norm,citizens in modern cities live among people who remain strangers to each other.This creates new opportunities and challenges for urban social life.Public space is a critical forum in which strangers encounter each other and have the opportunity to develop social protocols for coexisting in diversity.New media technologies have huge impact on the form and quality of public space.Digital art can create experimental public spaces in which mediated connections and embodied presence are combined in new ways.Through the practice and research of digital art,we can imagine a communicative city in which urban digital media is less about spectacle,and more about promoting new forms of public speech and social encounter between people.

Development Trends in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing tech-nology have been developing rapidly in the last 30 years, and indicate great potential for future development. The promising future of this technology makes its impact on traditional industry unpredictable. 3D printing will propel the revolution of fabrication modes forward, and bring in a new era for customized fabrication by realizing the five "any"s: use of almost any material to fabricate any part, in any quantity and any location, for any industrial field. Innovations in material, design, and fabrication processes will be inspired by the merging of 3D-printing technology and processes with traditional manufacturing processes. Finally, 3D printing will become as valuable for manufacturing industries as equivalent and subtractive manufacturing processes.

Logic as an Art and Logic as a Science＂ Is It Only Precedents or Tradition？

Nowadays the answer to the question ＂what is logic？＂ seems very simple and obvious--＂logic is a science,＂ and after that usually one says what is this science about. As for the expressions ＂logic is an art＂ or ＂the art of logic,＂ then they are only metaphors or some kind of ＂facon de parler＂ used in serious scientific discourse. One of my aims here is to trace （on the base of as authentic texts as a commentator literature） the line of development of dichotomy ＂logic as an art--logic as a science＂ and to demonstrate that both these feat uses of logic have fundamental historical roots and play very important conceptual role in any theorizing about logic. Despite the fact that （modern） logic is undoubtedly a science, it can be interpreted as an art, moreover, the analysis of logic from this point of view expands, it seems to me, the researching possibilities in the field of the philosophy of logic at least in better understanding what is logic, what creates its unity independently from the historical period of its development, topics, and methods.

Technical Notes on Tibetan Tantric Buddhist Painting Artistic Heritage and Traditional Techniques

Among various arts and crafts in Tibet, painting appears to enjoy a uniquely crucial position in both the religious centres and the lives of ordinary Tibetan people. This paper examines the traditional techniques, methods, and materials used in Tibetan （Tantric） Buddhist painting by observing its working process at first hand, and having attended a number of its exhibitions, art workshops, and other resources both at home and overseas.

Nietzsche and the Total Experience of Black Swan

This paper argues that Nietzsche＇s view of tragedy as involving the Apollinian and the Dionysian may explain the appeal of the popular film Black Swan. The basis for this argument rests on Nietzsche＇s innovation in The Birth of Tragedy, namely, his emphasis on spectacle. Nietzsche argues for a collective experience, where the ego is abandoned in a renewed and shared sense of life. Black Swan provides a spectacle outside the confines of high culture and philosophical categories, where destructive and bestial nature is presented in an illusory and safe way for the audience. From a Nietzschean perspective, tragedy and Black Swan achieve this effacement of the ego through the aesthetic marriage of clarity and confusion, ugliness and beauty, music and image, inducing an experience in the audience that goes beyond moral judgment. This Nietzschean prism provides a case for the film＇s artistic merits where traditional conceptions of aesthetics and morality arguably fail to provide insight.

State of the Art and Future Trends of Unconventional PD-Measurement at Power Transformers

This paper discusses the current state of the art of diagnostics at power transformers. A special focus is set on the UHF-PD-measurement （ultra-high-frequency partial discharge measurement） because at power transformers, this diagnostic method has become more important in recent years. The current state, basics and principles of operations, proceedings as well as advantages of PD-measurement methods are covered. Furthermore problems and proposed solutions are discussed. Bushings and tap changers are not discussed in detail. In many cases, one single diagnostic method does not have the ability to sufficiently evaluate a power transformer. Therefore, a variety of diagnostic methods came up over times, which are commonly used by now. To expand the evaluation opportunities of power transformers, science strives to develop new diagnostic methods as well as to improve the existing ones. Furthermore, environmentally friendly and hardly inflammable ester liquids are examined for the use at power transformers and PD-measurement at HVDC （high voltage direct current） converter transformers as well. Potential diagnostic options and respectively current developments and findings in the field of oil-paper-insulation systems are outlined conclusively.

Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy Between Tradition and Innovation

Since the mid-1980s Chinese calligraphy art has undergone a radical change and has opened itself to experimentation. A vivid debate on CCC （Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy） （Zhongguo xiandai shufa） is involving art critics in China nowadays. WANG Dongling and the modernists think that, despite many changes and influences, we can still refer to the traditional calligraphic lexicon to describe the calligraphic production of contemporary Chinese art. They still remain deeply rooted in the signified system of Chinese writing, even if they break with the strict rules of Chinese classical aesthetic （contamination of Western elements and focus on the stylistic exploration）. WANG Nanming and the Avant-garde think that ＂contemporary calligraphy is not calligraphy yet＂： It is ＂anti-calligraphy＂, annihilates Chinese tradition, rejects the use of legible characters, experiments with new languages and new media within the idiom of international contemporary art. The result is the creation of works of art that could be assimilated to Abstract art, Abstract expressionism, Conceptual art, Performance art, Contemporary dance, Multimedia art, and even Street art. This paper aims at showing how still valid and extremely productive are both these two theoretical and creative/practical approaches to Chinese calligraphy in China nowadays. They turned the art of calligraphy into a medium for global comprehension and communication.
