The Object of Performance
Author: Henry M. Sayre
language: en
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Release Date: 1989
Looks at the development of American avant-garde art, including performance art, environmental art, conceptual art, video, and photo-realism.
From Object to Performance
From Object to Performance identifies, analyses, and critically contemplates the advent of a “performance mentality” and the gradual maturation of a “performative turn” in Israeli art. Manifested in the transition from object-oriented art to performance-based art, this cultural moment reflected both the exposure and responsiveness of young Israeli artists to experimental currents in North American and Western European art and these artists’ need to respond to acute social and political conditions, questioning Israeli national myths and collectivist ideals. From Object to Performance offers the first comprehensive exploration of the origins of action and performance art in Israel, contributes an important component to unravelling the global enigma of performance art histories, and considers the historiographic challenges encountered when studying the emergence and early years of performance-based practices. This book will appeal to students and scholars of performance studies, art history, cultural studies, and Israel studies, as well as to curators of contemporary art and performance, and artists. The book should also be of interest to the growing number of theater and art historians who research the beginnings and development of action and performance art.
Performance Modeling of Operating Systems Using Object-Oriented Simulations
Author: José M. Garrido
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2005-11-30
This book introduces the fundamental concepts and practical simulation te- niques for modeling different aspects of operating systems to study their g- eral behavior and their performance. The approaches applied are obje- oriented modeling and process interaction approach to discrete-event simu- tion. The book depends on the basic modeling concepts and is more specialized than my previous book: Practical Process Simulation with Object-Oriented Techniques and C++, published by Artech House, Boston 1999. For a more detailed description see the Web location: http://science.kennesaw.edu/~jgarrido/mybook,html. Most other books on performance modeling use only analytical approaches, and very few apply these concepts to the study of operating systems. Thus, the unique feature of the book is that it concentrates on design aspects of operating systems using practical simulation techniques. In addition, the book illustrates the dynamic behavior of different aspects of operating systems using the various simulation models, with a general hands-on approach.
