How do you experience a photograph? What do you want a viewer to feel when they look at your image? Perception and Imaging explains how we see and what we don't see. Relevant psychological principles will help you predict your viewer's emotional reaction to your photographic images, giving you more power, control, and tools for communicating your desired message. Knowing how our minds work helps photographers, graphic designers, videographers, animators, and visual communicators both create and critique sophisticated works of visual art. Benefit from this insight in your work. Topics covered in this book: gestalt grouping, memory and association, space, time, color, contours, illusion and ambiguity, morphics, personality, subliminals, critiquing photographs, and rhetoric.
This is the first complete monograph on the life and work of one of Italy`s most important contemporary artists and critics, Franco Vaccari. Exhibitions in real time covers his artistic production, from photography to video to his critical writing and is accompanied by a text written by a series of leading curators and critics. The book, which has been published to accompany a major exhibition at Spazio Oberdan in Milan, documents Vaccari's artistic evolution, from his beginning as a visual poet to the conceptual path undertaken since the late '60s and realised in a series of experimentations based on the use of different media, photography and video. This volume encompasses the whole documentation on Vaccari's Exhibitions in real time: 35 performances produced over 30 years.

Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer’s experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you -- the viewer -- are invited to "do it yourself." Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the "do-it-yourself" artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork, and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.
