The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Graffiti
2020
Emotions play an essential role in aesthetic and art experience. Graffiti is an example of urban visual communication, and it can also be understood as a form of art. Like other works of art, graffiti can evoke different aesthetic emotions in its audiences, such as pleasure, wonder, interest and pride but also disinterest, disappointment or embarrassment, and even anger and disgust—further impacting, for example, how they value this art form. However, few studies have explored what kinds of emotions people feel when they appraise graffiti. This chapter discusses emotions in graffiti using examples from participant interviews in the Purkutaide study. Interview quotes are assessed against the…

Expertise and becoming conscious of something
2022
Becoming conscious refers to how new mental content emerges in the mind. To understand this phenomenon, we studied how people experience graffiti by thinking aloud. In protocols, we found three types of becoming conscious: experiencing emotional and perceptual content directly linked to a perceivable object, non-perceivable or apperceived information content, and transformation and restructuring processes. On the grounds of the content-based study of protocols, we suggest that people can become conscious of either direct perception, apperception, or restructuring thinking. Research of the mind, which is grounded in analysis and explained by properties of mental content, can be called conten…
Taidekokemukset sosiaalisten ja yksilöllisyyttä vahvistavien tarpeiden tyydyttäjinä : uusia näkökulmia taiteita koskevaan hyvinvointikeskusteluun
2017
Taiteiden ja hyvinvoinnin välinen yhteys on ollut suomalaisen kulttuuripolitiikan keskeisiä aiheita vuodesta 2007 saakka, kun hallituksen strategia-asiakirjassa asetettiin Terveyden edistämisen politiikkaohjelma. Tämä johti vuosina 2010-2014 toteutettuun Taiteesta ja kulttuurista hyvinvointia -ohjelmaan, jonka toiminta-aikana kehiteltiin hyvinvointia edistäviä taiteellisen toiminnan muotoja. Toimintaohjelman kautta myös paljon kansainvälistä taiteisiin liittyvää hyvinvointitutkimusta tuli Suomessa laajempaan tietoisuuteen. Vaikka erilaisilla taiteen muodoilla on useissa tutkimuksissa todettu olevan hyvinvointi- ja terveysvaikutuksia, harva tutkimus on yrittänyt selittää näid…
Graffiti as a Palimpsest
2018
Graffiti can be viewed as stories about embodied identities of the self and others which can be shared in intersubjective discourse, visual communication of varying content and motives, and utilizing specific technology and mediums. Graffiti’s palimpestuous nature, in its physical and symbolic forms of layering information, is present in production and perceiving graffiti. A creator and a reader of graffiti are both palimpsesting the work, acting as narrators of their own mental sheets. The concept of graffiti as a palimpsest can be exemplified for example in graffiti art where the interpretation of a work of art depends on the properties of the work, the perceiver and the social and instit…
Ambivalent emotional experiences of everyday visual and musical objects.
2019
Art brings rich, pleasurable experiences to our daily lives. However, many theories of art and aesthetics focus on specific strong experiences—in the contexts of museums, galleries, and concert halls and the aesthetic perception of canonized arts—disregarding the impact of daily experiences. Furthermore, pleasure is often treated as a simplistic concept of merely positive affective character, yet recent psychological research has revealed the experience of pleasure is far more complicated. This study explored the nature of pleasure evoked by everyday aesthetic objects. A mixture of statistical and qualitative methods was applied in the analysis of the data collected through a semi-structure…
