The
Electronic Sketchbook “resituates” the Thangka in Tibetan
cultural practices and illustrates interrelationships between artifacts
and composition-process, myth, ritual, physical setting. The multimedia
exhibit shifts the focus of the learner from the outward form of
the Thangka artifact to the inner world of the Thangka process.
|
|
The
Electronic Sketchbook was a creative collaboration between a master
Thangka painter, a renowned Tibetan monk, Xerox designers, and art
historians and Tibetologists of the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco. |

A
Russian student and an American student explore the electronic book
of Tibetan Thangka Painting at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
By pointing at and touching elements of the painting called Thangka
to playback short video recordings, they use the imagery of the
painting to explore its process of creation, its use in tibetan
life, and its symbolic meaning. |
