Book Publication: Learning to See: The Meanings, Modes and Methods of Visual Literacy
Edited by Michael Heitkemper-Yates and Katarzyna Kaczmarczyk
Published by Inter-Disciplinary Press
Publication Date: December 2016
My work on Affect Transmission through Mechanical Artworks has been published as a book chapter in Learning to See: The Meanings, Modes and Methods of Visual Literacy. My chapter charts the notions of affect involved in the ‘instantaneous emotional impulses’ generated by the viewer’s capacity to identify and interpret the parts of a work of mechanical assemblage. My interdisciplinary approach to the affective dynamic that exists between the object and the viewer focuses upon perception as both a sensory and an emotional mechanism.

If, indeed, ‘Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others,’ as Jonathan Swift has so famously phrased it, then visual literacy is the art of translating the seen – through image, word and gesture – so that the invisible can be made visible to others. In other words, visual literacy specifies a process of articulation that employs both sight and insight in the service of interpreting the language of the image, reading the narrative of the graphic, and deciphering the codes and modes of the visual. This volume represents an attempt to convey some of the many ideas surrounding visual literacy and advance the interdisciplinary field of visual literacy studies toward new areas of research and inquiry.

The Language of Mixed-Media Sculpture is both a survey and a celebration of contemporary approaches to sculptures that are formed from more than one material. It profiles the discipline in all its expanded forms and recognizes sculpture in the twenty-first century not as something solid and static, but rather as a fluid interface in material, time and space. It gives insightful revelations of the creative journeys of ten renowned sculptors and showcases twenty-eight international sculptors. With over two hundred colour photographs, this sumptuously illustrated volume will inspire those intrigued by and interested in contemporary sculpture.
