30 millennia of sculpture
\" From its prehistoric origins to the conceptual modernity of the 20th century, sculpture has literally and figuratively moulded the art world. Offering an integral vision of the evolution of forms across civilisations and epochs, 30 Centuries of Sculpture presents the masterpieces of sculpture that, with their intriguing silhouettes, have shaped the current notion of beauty. Sculptures can reflect an era, an artist, or his public; this gallery in high relief presents, with its numerous references, detailed commentaries on works, and biographies of artists, an open door to history and art, and an ideal guide for both students and neophytes\"-- Provided by publisher.

Installation art and the museum
Installation art has become mainstream in artistic practices. However, acquiring and displaying such artworks means that curators and conservators are challenged to deal with obsolete technologies, ephemeral materials, and other issues concerning care and management of these artworks. By analyzing three in-depth case studies, the author sheds new light on the key concepts of traditional conservation-authenticity, artist's intention, and the notion of ownership-while exploring how these concepts apply in contemporary art conservation.

The influence of the physical context and knowledge of artworks on the aesthetic experience of interactive installations
In the current study, the influence of the physical context and the knowledge of artworks on the aesthetic experience of installation art is tested for the first time. We assessed non-experts in the field of art (N = 158) who viewed interactive installations in either the art gallery context or the classroom. Some participants knew both the artworks’ titles and the curator descriptions, some knew only the titles, and some had no contextual information. We tested both the aesthetic emotions and the aesthetic judgments. For the measurement of aesthetic emotions, we used the Self-Assessment Manikin approach including the traditional dimensions of affect and the measurement of recently-proposed dimensions such as origin or subjective significance. The study replicated previous findings that the gallery context enhances the aesthetic experience – both of art appreciation and aesthetic emotions. Moreover, our results showed that the emotions caused by viewing the installation in the gallery had more of an automatic source (metaphorically coming “from the heart”) and were more subjectively significant than aesthetic emotions experienced in the classroom context. Curatorial information increased the understanding and appreciation of the works of installation art, and also caused the aesthetic emotion to be more positive and more intensive; while having knowledge about the titles did not influence the aesthetic experience.

Hidden markov modeling of emotional state transitions in interactive installation art
Interactive installation art provides a distinctive context for examining collective emotion, yet most prior studies have relied on laboratory or longitudinal data that are impractical in public cultural settings. This study applied Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to self-reported well-being data from
HappyHere
, a participatory light installation at the National Galleries of Scotland. Despite the cross-sectional design, the HMM framework enabled inference of latent affective states and probabilistic differentiation patterns, stability, and convergence patterns. The results show four key findings. First, three qualitatively distinct latent states were identified: a low/negative cluster (M ≈ 1.5), a moderately positive cluster (M ≈ 3.5), and a ceiling-level, highly positive cluster (all M = 5.0), confirming clear differentiation (H1). Second, positive states proved the most stable, with the highest self-transition probability (0.875) and the longest dwell time (≈ 3.4 steps), supporting H2. Third, neutral states were comparatively unstable, showing the lowest self-transition probability (0.093) and a tendency to shift toward positivity, consistent with H3. Finally, the stationary distribution strongly favored positivity, with positive states Reaching 86.3%, neutral states 7.5%, and negative states 6.2%. Minor diurnal variation was observed, but effect sizes were negligible, confirming the enduring predominance of positivity (H4). The findings demonstrate that even cross-sectional cultural datasets can yield meaningful insights through probabilistic modelling. Positive affect emerged as the most stable and dominant attractor, underscoring the capacity of participatory art to regulate emotion and foster collective well-being.

Caro : close up
\"With a career spanning more than sixty years, Anthony Caro (b. 1924) is one of Britain's most acclaimed and best-known sculptors. Caro: Close Up accompanies the first survey exhibition of his work in an American museum since his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1975. Although celebrated for his large, brightly painted abstract sculptures, Caro has also produced drawings and small-scale works of a more private nature throughout his career. The full range of his oeuvre includes works on paper, sculptures constructed in paper and cardboard, and abstract works of steel, bronze, and clay.Featuring new photography of more than sixty works drawn almost entirely from Caro's studio and family collections, this publication examines the critical responses that Caro's work has elicited from the 1950s to the present and considers his role in current artistic practice. The authors explore the ways the sculptor has used the physical properties of his materials, while Caro himself discusses his exhibition and installation practices\"-- Provided by publisher.

Deep reinforcement learning-based thermal-visual collaborative optimization control system for multi-sensory art installations
This paper presents an attention-enhanced deep reinforcement learning control system for thermal-visual collaborative optimization in multi-sensory art installations. The proposed system integrates three key innovations: (1) an attention-based DDPG algorithm with dynamic modality weighting (α = 0.6–0.8 for thermal, 0.6–0.7 for visual features), (2) adaptive sensor fusion combining Kalman and particle filtering with 8 ± 2 ms processing latency, and (3) hierarchical four-layer architecture achieving 65% control accuracy improvement and 40% response time reduction compared to traditional approaches. The system architecture incorporates a hierarchical four-layer design with perception, fusion, decision-making, and execution components. The core innovation lies in an attention-based deep reinforcement learning algorithm that dynamically processes multi-modal sensory inputs and optimizes thermal-visual coordination through continuous learning. The algorithm employs spatiotemporal alignment mechanisms, adaptive feature weighting, and collaborative optimization strategies to achieve superior control performance. Experimental validation demonstrates quantified improvements over conventional methods: control accuracy improved from 0.247 ± 0.067 RMSE (PID baseline) to 0.085 ± 0.012 RMSE (proposed method), representing 65% improvement; response times reduced from 78 ± 22 ms (fuzzy control) to 45 ± 8 ms (proposed method), achieving 40% improvement; energy efficiency increased from baseline consumption to 23% reduction through intelligent coordination. Real-world deployment results confirm practical effectiveness with measured user satisfaction scores of 4.1 ± 0.7 on a 5-point scale and system availability of 98.5% over 186-hour continuous operation periods. The proposed system enables more sophisticated multi-sensory experiences while maintaining artistic integrity and provides a foundation for advanced digital art technologies.

Museum of stones : ancient and contemporary art at the Noguchi Museum
\"Using the sculpture of Isamu Noguchi and the setting of his titular museum as a point of departure, this book looks at the various ways artists from across the world have explored the place of rock and stone in human culture, taking inspiration from American-born artist Jimmie Durham's opinion that sculpture and architecture in the West \"denature\" stone. Photography of the artworks installed in The Noguchi Museum beautifully represents the unique and thoughtful meeting of Isamu Noguchi's sculpture with that of contemporary artists and ancient examples from East and West\"-- Provided by publisher.

A Comprehensive Study of Emotional Responses in AI-Enhanced Interactive Installation Art
This study presents a comprehensive literature review on the convergence of affective computing, interactive installation art, multi-dimensional sensory stimulation, and artificial intelligence (AI) in measuring emotional responses, demonstrating the potential of artificial intelligence in emotion recognition as a tool for sustainable development. It addresses the problem of understanding emotional response and measurement in the context of interactive installation art under artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing sustainability as a key factor. The study aims to fill the existing research gaps by examining three key aspects: sensory stimulation, multi-dimensional interactions, and engagement, which have been identified as significant contributors to profound emotional responses in interactive installation art. The proposed approach involves conducting a process analysis of emotional responses to interactive installation art, aiming to develop a conceptual framework that explores the variables influencing emotional responses. This study formulates hypotheses that make specific predictions about the relationships between sensory stimulation, multi-dimensional interactions, engagement, and emotional responses. By employing the ASSURE model combined with experimental design, the research methodology ensures a systematic and comprehensive study implementation. The implications of this project lie in advancing the understanding of emotional experiences in interactive installation art under AI, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms that drive these experiences, and their influence on individual well-being from a sustainable perspective. The contributions of this research include bridging the identified research gaps, refining theoretical frameworks, and guiding the design of more impactful and emotionally resonant interactive artworks with sustainability in mind. This research seeks not only to fill the existing gaps in understanding emotional experiences in interactive installation art, but also to guide the development of immersive and emotionally engaging installations, ultimately advancing the broader field of human–computer interaction, promoting individual well-being, and contribute to sustainable development.
