Reading about New Materialism (2)

This week, I keep reading articles about New Materialism.

"new materialism attempts to offer a different perspective to signification, materiality, and methodologies of crafting knowledge."

If there is a war happen at 1880, Monet can not drawing 22 wheatstacks.
Only in piece time, artists can be relax.
I will create a different perspective of Wheatstacks, or other masterpieces.


"New Materialism is a category of theories that were generated as a response to the linguistic turn. Infused with commitments to specific knowledge-becoming practices and a history linked to feminisms."

"Women Comprise Nearly Half of Gamer Population"

"the most frequent game purchasers, 54% are male and 46% are female"

New Materialism also have a strong related to feminisms. To my surprise, 46% female playing video games. But in fact, almost every main characters in video games are male.
I think this could be kind of inspiration for me to work on second part of vignette.


"In art this analysis could be the study of matter and meaning"

"study of matter and meaning" just remind me to René Magritte 's surrealistic art. Magritte like to use "materials" in his painting, but shows another meaning of that symbol.
I hope it could be the third vignette.
