This second issue of 2021 is especially devoted to Arts Education. With a thematic dossier, guest-edited by Catarina S. Martins and Pedro Alves, this edition brings to the front a very urgent and significant problem in education: how to teach art and how to develop and sustain art schools. In a rapidly changing world, these problems must address the digitization of our daily lives, as well as its mechanisms for (art) teaching. Moreover, being a side subject in the world of elementary schools and universities, it is even more important to study and research the ways that arts education can change education as a whole, allowing future citizens to be more aware of their worlds.

This commentary focuses on the cinematic and intellectual work of Miguel De, expressed through The Kiss and its accompanying essay. The objective here is to problematize some of the historical and technocultural connections raised by the essay, and to frame De’s experimental essay film within a wider tradition of (mostly European) film-making who has as its main aim a troubling of the notion of “pornography”. This troubling is often done through a double deployment of vision: the audience is shown a named something, but maybe not what they were expecting to see, and it is through the disconnect between the naming and the showing that the connections between sexuality, obscenity and carnal resonance are made apparent and contingent. However, as these acts of troubling circulate within the contemporary technological capitalist mediasphere, they quickly become a locus for a potential site of capture, normalization and redeployment of power relationships.

Networking in current music education and models, projects and platforms are a means for recovering the importance of music education as a part of artistic education. Music education has value in itself, both in the international and European context, not only from an instrumental or interdisciplinary perspective, but also as a critical reflection on reality, forming an integral part of society which cannot be removed. Art, due to its non-instrumental nature, constitutes a source of living standards and allows the development of the human sensibility which contributes to the acquisition of skills related with perception, and which make up valuable tools for the cognitive process of the science. Networking projects through music education contribute to diverse cultural thought, which places value on European cultural heterogeneity through music, promotes cultural integration and diversity of tastes beyond prevailing and homogenising musical trends.

This article adopts an ethnographic approach to describe a learning experience aimed at making visible the works of African and Afro-descendant artists among undergraduate Visual Arts students at Universidad Veracruzana (in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico). From a decolonial perspective, an analysis is conducted of how their knowledge has increased in terms of Africa and its diaspora, the contemporary art of African artists, the work of Afro-Mexican artists and the gaps in their education regarding knowledge of the African continent and the history of Afro-descendance in Mexico. Furthermore, an exploration is made of the terms in which they have reflected about how blackness is represented in art, the place occupied by Africa and its diaspora in their education and how they relate to the ethnic category “Afro-descendant” with which, in some cases, singular processes of Afro-Mexican ethnogenesis were triggered.

Arts education still strives to claim its specificity and equal relevance comparing to other kinds of knowledge. There remains an idea that arts are powerful transformative agents, but neoliberalism tends to put economic utility and usage as principles that capture art under the great jargons of creativity, cultural industries, or flexibility. Today, it is necessary to question the very concept and status that arts, but also education, built from European perspectives, aligned with colonial practices, the building of nations, identity constructions and a culture of taste, under a universalist idea of civilization and progress. Thus, in this JSTA special issue we aim to question how to critically build a place and status for arts education which does not assume for itself, from the outset, a privileged or exceptional place, which does not reproduce the hegemonic power relations it seeks to criticize, and which stimulates change instead of accommodation and homogenization.

When it comes to strategies governing contemporary technological culture, the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) paradigm is as pervasive and automatic as technology itself. Taking from Michel de Certeau’s distinction between the concepts of strategy and tactics, Ksenia Fedorova analyses a series of transdisciplinary artworks in which computerized operations affecting and transforming human experience are tactically disrupted in order to question technological interfaces mediating HCI. Exposing crossdisciplinary experiments in which affects and deffects are part of the algorithm, Tactics of Interfacing shows precisely in what measure and weight art and technology may contemplate natural and artificial glitches of both human nature and machinic code.
当谈到管理当代技术文化的策略时,人机交互(HCI)范式与技术本身一样普遍和自动化。Ksenia Fedorova借鉴Michel de Certeau对战略和战术概念的区分,分析了一系列跨学科的艺术作品,在这些作品中,影响和改变人类体验的计算机化操作被战术性地打乱,以质疑介导HCI的技术接口。《接口策略》揭示了影响和缺陷是算法一部分的跨学科实验,它准确地展示了艺术和技术在何种度量和权重上可以考虑人性和机械代码的自然和人为故障。

“Master of Voice” is a temporary program of Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam) that united artists of different backgrounds who shared voice-based practices. Often considered as a medium in art history, the (non)human voice has been identified as a discipline in its own right. The book Master of Voice (Coburn, T. et alt., 2020) presents the artworks and reflections arisen during a two-year-long period of research based on collective learning and experimentation. The human voice is mainly approached through gender and technology, gushing from a multiplicity of bodies, freed from Western social norms. Editor Lisette Smits shares a vivid reflection about the role of contemporary artists and the range of their voices in our post-industrial society. The book emphasizes the agency of the voice and accordingly, its potential as a political and social tool.
“声音大师”是阿姆斯特丹桑德伯格学院联合不同背景的艺术家分享声音实践的临时项目。通常被认为是艺术史上的一种媒介,(非)人类的声音已经被确定为一门独立的学科。《声音大师》(Coburn, T. et alt., 2020)一书展示了在集体学习和实验的基础上,为期两年的研究期间产生的艺术作品和反思。人类的声音主要通过性别和技术来表达,从西方社会规范中解放出来,从多种身体中涌出。编辑Lisette Smits对当代艺术家的角色和他们在后工业社会中的声音范围进行了生动的反思。这本书强调了声音的作用,以及它作为政治和社会工具的潜力。

Using William Heise’s The Kiss, from 1896, as a starting point, I created an experimental essay film, also called The Kiss, to expose and question our conception of obscenity. Comparing both films and the resulting reception of their audiences, and the history of obscenity, I strive to provoke a reflection on how our conception of morality affect artistic creation in today’s internet culture.

The present research study deepen knowledge on the viewpoints of future primary education teaching professionals regarding issues associated with the educational system and its creative capacity. A study was carried out with 216 students undertaking the Primary Teaching Degree of the University of Granada. Participants were required to develop a conceptual photograph which reflected their thoughts regarding weaknesses of the educational system. The resultant pieces served as a research tool following the performance of formal and content analysis. The future teachers identify weaknesses classified in two broad spheres. The first refers to issues of a political or institutional nature which affect education at a general level. The second refers to teaching methods and education at a more localised or specific level. This is a line of work in art education that serves to stimulate a critical view of the educational system in the training of future teachers.

In this article, we present Akson, a web-based audio-visual (AV) environment for networked interaction and performance. It is demonstrated as an emerging artefact of an investigation in computer music and media art from collaborative interfaces exploring the cloud. Akson allows both the generation of content in a customized network and the structuring of agents connected in different interaction models. There are detailed experiments carried out during the development process, their existence taking advantage of the Internet and the way in which the software works technically is detailed extensively. As an interface that extends the artistic gesture, it is presented as a result of research in the context of Braga Media Arts, a creative city of UNESCO (UCCN).
