Welcome to the DIVA 200 Students

Here are some links to various uses of panoramic photography by artists and designers.
Notice how differently each person uses this technique, as narrative, as metaphor, as political critique, to name just a few uses.
How exactly do they do this? What kind of visual techniques are they using to accomplish what they want to communicate? And does this kind of photography feel more interactive?

Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art

Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art presents contemporary art works under the fictional rubric of a museum collection conceived by and designed for extraterrestrials. This ambitious, playful and irreverent exhibition features over 100 artists and more than 175 works, primarily sculptures along with mixed media, video, photography and works on paper. Artists range from emerging to internationally recognised figures, including Joseph Beuys, Cai Guo-Qiang, Maurizio Cattelan, Jimmie Durham, Barbara Hepworth, Thomas Hirschhorn, Damien Hirst, Brian Jungen, Sherrie Levine, Goshka Macuga, Bruce Nauman, Mike Nelson, Cornelia Parker, Daniel Spoerri, Haim Steinbach, Francis Upritchard, Jeffrey Vallance, Andy Warhol and Rebecca Warren.
This exhibition is partly inspired by the first chapter of Thierry de Duve”s Kant after Duchamp, in which an imaginary anthropologist from outer space sets out to inventory “all that is called art by humans”. Adopting a pseudo-anthropological approach, the Museum employs eccentric taxonomies and surprising juxtapositions. The fictitious Martian perspective opens up contemporary art to fresh interpretations and allows for its reassessment from an alien standpoint, thus mimicking the way that Western anthropologists historically interpreted non-Western cultures through foreign eyes. Looking at contemporary art as though from outer space offers the potential to make the familiar strange and to turn the dominant Euro-American art tradition into the “Other”. It also raises pertinent questions about the use and value of contemporary art in human culture.
