Sorry about the delay in getting back online here. I had a very busy few weeks, with my literature review, report on child perception, tutorial essay on eyewitnesses, and last but not least, a statistics exam. Horrible awful thing that it was. Anyway onto happier, things.
It looks like I'm in the clear as to the intellectual property infringement charge, no banning. So I'm happy and content this christmas. I would really hae hated to loose DeviantArt membership, as I've lurked here for many years previous to my research project. Yay, and thanks to eerybody who sent me a nice comment, or telling me to not take too much notice of the whole thing; you were correct.
I'm currenly reading a book called 'the gift' by Lewis Hyde, as it relates to how value and price is alloted to artworks. A good layman's text on the creative product's cultural value and commercial/ economic value duality in modern art world. He also deals with myth and fairy tales as a type of '
sychological commerce'. I had never thought of them in that way before, the moral or lesson of the story as possessing a mental and educational value, outside of entertainment.
The second book I'm reading is a very good psychology text, 'Human judgement: the eye of the beholder' by Donald Laming. Accessible for a psych book, with some really interesting experiments peppered throughout the theory, really loved the opening chapter where a classic art piece increases in value 2200 times (£170 to 380,000) in a few months, after being attributed to Sebastiano del Piombo, as a portrait of Pope Clement VII, who refused King Henry VIII an annulment to Catherine of Aragon. The lesson: context is worth a few hundred thousand sterling. I love the art market, it makes me smile.
II'm in the process of ordering the images at the moment, trying to get a good spread across media and tiem frames. Tedious and hand cramping task that's turning into
Starting the introduction section of the thesis. Enjoying the reading for it, as I have no classes at the moment, so no interruptions. Delightful.
Have a merry christmas and a happy new year!
ps. if you notice a typo involving the letter 'V', sorry, but my keyboard's v key is sticking.

For me I feel about art as Justice Potter Stewart felt about obscenity [link] I cannot tell you what it is but I know it when I see it.

No need to REPLY...just make ART...
I too am looking forward to the fruits of my research
As you say, why people like or dislike a piece is often nebulous, and hard to define. I'm lookin at how fast a person decides how they feel about a piece, and if the type of judgement they make relates to how they then value it. I'm thinking that familliar art types/ themes will be decided upon faster, as they will already have some opinion of it. Thats why I'm here on DA, trying to get art that my participants can be challenged and wow'd by, that they can really form a new opinion about.
The Justice Potter Stewart link you left me was really interesting. I may have to include it in my title even

Its been so difficult to find a good book on the art market, I've been relying on the economic section of my college library till now. Your recommendation comes in good time, I can tell you. The economic books were doing my head in
I had a look at your beautiful fractals in your gallery, and fa'd two fo them, kimono, ribbons, and techno pod. Nice to see such elegant and well structured work like this, so tender and delicate, yet layered and translucent. Magical things. So often fractal work is all hash leaves and psychadelics, and that is a small problem for college work, as you can guess. May I include them in my study, with your permission? All credit would be given to you as the artist, no profit made, only academic use, no printing out of the images.
Kind regards
Olivia

Thanks for the watching. I'm not used to such attention
I do think that some artists got a bit of a shock at the thought that a 'researcher' was looking at their work, and did not like it. This can't be helped, and of course they have every right to not like it and to decline involvement. I don't always like how science operates either, like sitting my statistics exam
I have an understanding of their misgivings, but now working from the other side, I can see how to safeguard as best as possible against them being ethically abused, as can happen. I guess people use the guise of research to dupe people sometimes, and this puts them on their guard understandably.
