In the early 20th century the function of poetic imagery was given international attention through the Imagist movement in London and, ever since, many poets have self-consciously employed and exploited imagist techniques. At the same time poets and visual artists have frequently explored connections between each other’s works considering, as Art Berman writes, that “the visual can provide direct and even prelinguistic knowledge since the psyche presumably has operations that precede or take logical precedence over […] language” (49). Interart comparisons suggest that poetry and the visual arts can be talked about as if “work in one medium […] were operating in another” (Dayan 3). However, it is often unclear what it might mean to describe a work of visual art as “poetic” or a poem as “visual.” This paper explores these ideas with reference to Paul Hetherington’s and Anita Fitton’s practice-led research project, Spectral Resemblances. The project is investigating some of the ways in which written poetry and still visual imagery may convey related meanings. It asks whether meaningful connections between poetic and visual imagery are at best “spectral” and elusive. It explores how the juxtapositioning of complementary works in these different media may allow resonances to play back and forth in the conceptual spaces between them.

Exhibiting lost material culture goes beyond documenting, preserving, reconstructing, and staging material traces of the past. Museums, possessing modest collections of original historical objects, have to search for new ways of exhibiting material culture thereby replacing facts (original objects, documents, documentary media) by bodily experience similar to that evoked by mystical religious art addressing different human senses beyond the vision. Bodily sensations can be evoked by ambiences, following expressionist or constructivist architecture, by sculptural displays in tradition of the avant-garde, by soundscapes and large scale image projections evoking illusion and immersion. The “post-material turn” comprises thus not only virtual culture, but also new material approaches to the memory of the past, shifting from original historical artifacts to reproductions and substitutes, evoking an intense bodily experience. Although history gets space for embodiment, such ambiences evoke a strong sense of loss, because they avoid immediate contact with traces of the past by virtual and material “doubles”. The “post-material turn” will be discussed with the example of The Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow, relating it to other contemporary “postdocumentary” and “post-factual” phenomena in memorial culture.

The study aims to explore the spectral properties of flow and antiflow states. 20 young male participants played a collision-avoidance computer-game while their spectral EEG activity have been measured. Flow, boredom, and anxiety conditions were differentiated with the help of personal adjustment of the game speeds. Personal baseline values were obtained with an objective and a subjective preliminary skill measurement on the same computer-game. The spectral activities of the subjects through the three conditions showed that generally under the flow condition the activity is lower than in the anxiety condition, but higher than in the boredom condition regarding delta, theta, beta, and gamma spectra. More importantly the temporal dynamics shows, that initially in flow and anxiety conditions an ascending activity can be observed, whereas after a climax in the activity graph a strong decline appears in the flow condition (beta and gamma), while this is weakly or not at all present in the anxiety condition, and an increase appears in the boredom condition. Our results support the hypofrontality hypothesis of flow and points out the importance of measuring flow in its temporal dynamics. The behavioural data does not support the idea of flow as a mechanism for effectance-optimalisation, but rather as a mechanism for optimalising for the maximalisation of gaining information and/or experience.
