Sažetak
The collection of essays presented here sprang from a research grant awarded by the University of Rijeka, number UNIRI grant no. umjpo-20-2. The research project, entitled Social and Technological Aspects of Art: Challenges of the ‘New Normal’ was motivated by the rapid progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and its immense, devastating, and perhaps even irreversible impact on life as we knew it. Our main concern was to analyze the immediate ramifications of the lockdown and social isolation on different forms of our artistic practices. Underlying this concern were developments within three research domains currently dominating aesthetic discussions: (i) the theoretical exploration of human aesthetic agency, with particular emphasis on what we understand as its most radical expression, namely the creation of art ; (ii) the paradigm of everyday aesthetics, which provides us with a means of extending our aesthetic and creative endeavors into our everyday activities such as cooking, clothing and traveling ; (iii) the diminishing divide of art and technology, brought about by the recognition of the aesthetic appeal, i.e. the functional beauty, of certain technological products
