ТOLERANCE OF ORNAMENTAL CEREALS TO AIR POLLUTION IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CAMPUS OF THE NSC «INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE» OF TARAS SHEVCHENKO NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF KYIV

Nataliya Taran — 2024-10-08

Air pollution is a global phenomenon caused by unsustainable and rapid industrial development. Air quality is deteriorating every day due to an increase in the concentration of various gases in the atmosphere. Currently, no system has been developed that would completely remove air pollutants, but nature has already created a number of systems that to some extent counteract the harmful effects of various types of anthropogenic activities. Some plants can withstand high concentrations of pollutants and act as absorbers or filters that minimize air pollution by absorbing, adsorbing, detoxifying, accumulating and metabolizing the pollution. The goal is to assess the air pollution tolerance of plants of ornamental cereals in the transformed conditions of the campus of the NSC «Institute of Biology and Medicine» of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University. Methodology. Commonly accepted biochemical methods of analysis of plant raw materials were used (determination of the content of the sum of chlorophylls, ascorbic acid, pH of leaf extract, relative water content), statistical methods of analysis. The results. Plants that can adapt to higher concentrations of pollutants can be proposed as tolerant species and used as pollutant sinks. In this study, air pollution tolerance indices (APTI index) of ornamental cereals Miscanthus Chinese variety Zebrinus, Miscanthus Chinese variety Silberfeder, Pennisetum foxtail variety Hameln, which grow in the transformed conditions of the campus of the NSC «Institute of Biology and Medicine» of Taras Shevchenko National University o Kyiv were investgatied. The APTI index is widely used to determine the reaction of plants to air pollution, based on physiological and biochemical parameters – markers of the functional state of plants, such as the total content of chlorophyll in leaves, the pH of leaf extract, the content of ascorbic acid, and the relative content of water. Gardeners use APTI to select tolerant plant species, to rank plants by level of tolerance to air pollution. Scientific novelty. The conducted studies of ornamental cereals of the genera Miscanthus and Pennisetum, which grow in the transformed conditions of the urban biotope, indicate that the plants are tolerant to air pollution, dryness of the soil cover, and an excessive amount of air masses both in terms of decorativeness and physiological parameters of resistance, which makes it possible to recommend them for wide use in landscape design of urban spaces. Practical significance. The air pollution tolerance index is an excellent basis for selecting plants for creating green belts to mitigate air pollution. Selection of tolerant plant species will contribute to the creation of a database that can help landscapers design green belts around industrial enterprises and national highways.

The question of creating a multimedia design based on researches of various types of interaction and its communicative component through the identification of patterns and design models for effective implementation in the design practices of this direction is considered. Purpose. Purpose of the article is to determine the main directions of the search for methods of studying modeling of user interaction and multimedia environment with further research of promising methods for their use in design practice. Methodology. The research methodology is based on the directions of initiation, attraction, involvement, anthropologization and meta-anthropologization during user interaction in a multimedia environment. Results. Studies of the user interface in multimedia design allowed us to hypothesize that the development of this field was initially aimed at reproducing aspects of interpersonal interaction. However, before starting work with the methodology, a preliminary study of various experiences of «anthropologizing» in interaction with a visual representative of digital information was conducted. This research has shown that this path is unlikely to lead to the fact that at the final stage of development, interfaces and multimedia will be completely analogous to human communication. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the definition of current research methods for modeling user interaction and multimedia environment, taking into account the trends of these areas of design creation. Practical relevance. The practical significance of this research lies in the possibility of using the obtained results in the development of educational and professional programs for the training of specialists in the specialty «Design» in the areas of interactive and multimedia design.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the features of modeling in design activities, consider the phenomena of skeuomorphism and the effect of radical form, their aesthetic factors and consequences in design practice in the context of the interaction of analogue / non-analog modeling in shaping. Methodology: the study uses methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, extrapolation. Results: the range of opinions of specialists in the field of design on the interpretation of the concepts of «modeling», «model», «shaping» and the importance of modeling as a method of cognition and activity in design practice was clarified; the importance of non-analog modeling for the innovative activity of a modern designer, as well as analog modeling, which entails modification and improvement of existing samples, and the role of extrapolation methods, idealization, abstraction techniques, imitation, and imitation of form had been analyzed; we also analyzed the factors of popularity of design developments among consumers, in particular the functional feasibility, financial attractiveness and aesthetics of the product, namely the aesthetic aspects when it is first presented and contemplated by consumers. Scientific novelty: the phenomenon of the “radical form effect” has been studied as a result of consumers’ response to the fundamental novelty of the form and functions of a design product and the significance of skeuomormism in shape formation; the connection between skeuomorphism and the desire of the developer to soften the negativism of consumers regarding objects that are fundamentally new in function through the use of already familiar object forms, used and successfully tested in other products, but having only an external resemblance to the new product, is analyzed, and it is noted that in this way it is possible to overcome the barrier of information novelty. The practical significance of the study lies primarily in the fact that it draws attention to the phenomenon of the “radical novelty effect”, its influence on consumers of different ages, different educational qualifications and different cultural practices. Taking it into account allows you to make design activities more efficient.

ARTISTIC PRACTICES IN SPACE DESIGN

Violetta Radomska — 2024-10-08

The article examines the issue of preservation and development of individual artistic practices and the ability to integrate them into one’s own design projects, forming new directions of creative and alternative Ukrainian object-spatial design. Purpose research consists in highlighting the role and identifying the possibilities of applying artistic practices in modern space design. Methodology. The methodological basis of the article is based on the main general scientific methods of research: analysis, comparison, generalization of various ideas of the world and domestic experience on the problems of forming an alternative aesthetic and functional individual environment using the tools of artistic practices in space design. On the basis of implemented student extracurricular design projects, the role of and a wide range of possibilities of applying artistic practices in the real design and furnishing of the specified space was revealed and demonstrated. Results. The presented examples demonstrate that during the implementation of the design project, an educational and methodological component was applied in practice, which is a valuable tool for complex step-by-step work: ergonomic analysis of the room, production of drawings, study and processing of historical and archival materials, evaluation of existing artifacts for the creation of an exposition, search for a concept and design components, project proposal, development of elements of man-made art objects and drawings of object equipment for the museum space, selection of materials and compilation of a technical-technological, color map of the project, development of identity and formation of materials for interactive filling of the museum. Scientific novelty. As a result of the research, promising algorithms and design approaches were revealed in the formation of a creative environment in interior spaces with the help of complex equipment with individually designed, practically executed elements of subject equipment and art objects, which carry not only an ergonomic and functional component, but also form a stylistic the peculiarity and uniqueness of the personified designer. Practical relevance. For subjects of design activity, in particular, in the educational process of the specialty 022 Design, many factors and means of creating a domestic design product have been determined. However, the correct application of artistic practices, to a certain extent, depends on the level of complexity and culture of their integration into space. For example, to create recognition or identify a space in ethnostylistics, it is not enough to literally «ornamentize» design forms or repeat the stereotypes of fashion trends. Only a deep knowledge of authentic analogues, the ability to creatively stylize, interpret and transform them – the main tools of artistic practices, will allow you to create a relevant product and fully demonstrate and represent Ukrainian design in particular.

PHOTO PROJECT AS A SPACE OF REPRESENTATION: THE METHODOLOGY OF MANIPULATIVE APPEAL IN THE DISCOURSE OF MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF DOCUMENTA PROJECTS OF THE 1950S–1970S)

Volodymyr Tarasov — 2024-10-08

The purpose of the article is to study the phenomenon of manipulative appeal as an integral component of project culture in the discourse of modern photography (on the example of the Documenta photo projects of the 1950s–1970s). Methodology. The research used the methods of historical-chronological and comparative analysis, which made it possible to define and interpret the Documenta photo projects as a self-sufficient problem. The methods of figurative and stylistic and compositional analysis were used to study specific projects, as well as individual works. The results. The conducted research proves that Documenta not only monitors new phenomena in art, but also actively shapes their qualities and contents, using its own arena as an experimental site. It is important to emphasize that the subgenre of «reportage landscape» emerged in the early 2000s within the framework of several author’s representations that investigated the impact of place aesthetics on the perception of everyday events. Documenta projects are an important space for the interaction of curatorial and authorial vision within photographic culture. The exhibition accumulates almost the entire existing artistic spectrum of modern visual art. That is why projects that have a photographic nature are often shown within the framework of Documenta not as photo art, but as something else – new, not generalized terminologically and institutionally. The fact that such projects do not identify themselves as photo art, in our opinion, requires a separate interpretation. At this stage, let’s pay attention to the obvious difference between the autonomous status of the «artist- photographer» and the equally distinctly autonomous option of the «artist who creates images». Scientific novelty. The article shows that the synthetic property of Documenta as a relevant platform aimed at the search for cross-species and cross-genre features provides ample opportunities for the typology of contemporary photo art. In the chronological framework of the 1950s – 1970s, there was a qualitative change in the repertoire and concepts of photo practices. It is on this basis that analog practices returned to actual photography, but already in the context of new expressions and new visual points of view. This allows us to consider Documenta projects as a factor in shaping the phenomenology of photography as a part of contemporary art. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used both in the educational and in the research field.

Purpose: This article examines the influence of works of monumental and decorative art on the work of the outstanding Ukrainian artist Fedor Krychevskyi (1879–1947). Particular attention is paid to his trips abroad from 1910 to 1913, during which he had the opportunity to directly study the works of European masters, including Gustav Klimt. The goal is to analyze and determine exactly how these influences manifested themselves in Krychevsky’s work and how they shaped his artistic vision. The research methodology includes the analysis of historical documents, correspondence, archival materials and works related to the life and work of Fedor Krychevskyi. Special attention is paid to the study of his stay in the workshop of Gustav Klimt and the analysis of works that directly influenced Krychevsky. Art history approaches are also used to assess the influence of the Viennese Secession on Krychevsky’s works of art. The results of the research showed that during trips abroad, in particular, during the period of studying with Gustav Klimt, Fedor Krychevsky significantly expanded his artistic horizons and mastered the features of the Viennese Secession. This is clearly reflected in his monumental works and paintings. The works of Klimt, such as the interior paintings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, as well as a series of paintings of the auditorium of the University of Vienna, greatly influenced Krychevsky. In addition, the research revealed that Krychevsky adopted the technique of decorating facades with majolica, which was also reflected in his own works. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the identification of specific works and techniques that influenced Fedor Krychevskyi during his stay abroad. The study for the first time analyzes in detail the influence of Gustav Klimt’s works on Krychevsky and shows how these influences were reflected in his work. This gives a new understanding of the processes of artistic interaction between European artists and Ukrainian artists of the beginning of the 20th century. The practical significance of the research lies in the use of the acquired knowledge for the further study of the work of Fedor Krychevskyi and other Ukrainian artists of that period. The identified influences can be useful for art historians, teachers, students and other researchers involved in the history of art. In addition, the results of the study can be used to popularize Ukrainian art and its relationships with European art trends.
