“In his first years of activity, closely following his master’s teaching, Boccioni produced oil paintings, sketches, pastels, studies in tempera, and advertising posters.The way Boccioni paints himself is in a more modern manner using vivid colors in the background and in his face.Self-Portrait was painted in Rome in the 1905 when Boccioni was twenty-three years old.Di Credi shows a more complex, divine, almost perfect human being while Boccioni portraits himself in a more modern manner.With the way Boccioni applies the oil in this painting, one can see that the body itself is not well defined because of the longer brushstrokes.

Today we use new means, often in a search for the spectacular.Already in 1912, Boccioni theorized, in his Technical Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture, that new art would be carried by environmental sculpture, capable of modifying the surrounding atmosphere.For Allan Kaprow, the first artist who theoretically defined the characteristics of the environment in the article “Introduction to a Theory” in Bull Shit magazine, the participation of spectators and interventions at the level of the environment are only the direct consequence of the fusion between art and life.The controversy raised has drawn the attention of international environmental organizations and has led contemporary artists to rethink Land Art and Site-specific Art.Probably on...

The nature of most high rises supports anonymity and depersonalization of one’s neighbours, so that living in a high rise tends to have both the advantages, such as greater privacy and freedom from unwanted social interaction and disadvantages, less intimate social interaction and less caring about anonymous others as large cities.High-rise residents may have more acquaintances but fewer friends because residents of high rises simply encounter a larger number of people in their building than residents of low rises (Churchman & Ginsberg, 1984).The particular context chosen for analysis is the area of my current residence, the capital city of India, Delhi.Apparently, where traffic noise is a considerable factor, high rises may be good ...
