{"pk":25770,"title":"Formation of an art concept:\nA case study using quantitative analysis of a contemporary artist’s interview data","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The process of formation by an artist of an art concept for the\nproduction of a new series of artwork has not yet been\nempirically elucidated. The goal of this study is to describe\nthe process of art concept formation by a contemporary artist\nthrough quantitative analyses of a text corpus based on\ninterviews with the artist. From an analysis of the frequency\nof occurrence of items of vocabulary in the interview data and\nthe TF-IDF (term frequency–inverse document frequency),\nwe find that the second of three phases in the artist's creative\nprocess was the most critical for the formation of the art\nconcept, as also shown in our previous qualitative study.\nFurther, based on an analysis of co-occurrence frequencies of\nwords, the structure of the art concept is deduced from the\nimportance of co-occurring vocabulary. By means of\nvisualizing the network of co-occurrence analysis, it is\nclarified that the feature words \"The Large Glass\" functioned\nin the first phase as the medium for dividing the structure of\nthe concept into two parts. In the second phase, these two\nparts of the structure became integrated into one. In the last\nphase, the structure of the concept was elaborated on with the\nrevived feature words, \"White Noise\" and \"Duchamp\".","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"artistic creation"},{"word":"art concept"},{"word":"contemporary artist"},{"word":"quantitative analyses"},{"word":"interview data"},{"word":"Case study"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pc2j153","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kikuko","middle_name":"","last_name":"Takagi","name_suffix":"","institution":"The University of Tokyo","department":""},{"first_name":"Akihiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kawase","name_suffix":"","institution":"National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics","department":""},{"first_name":"Sawako","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yokochi","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tokyo Future University","department":""},{"first_name":"Takeshi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Okada","name_suffix":"","institution":"The University of Tokyo","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25770/galley/15394/download/"}]}
