- Ferdinand Kriwet is a multimedia artist who has engaged with text, language and concrete poetry since the 1960s.
- Kriwet's circular use of text also has strong associations with the mandala, an Indian form imbued with spiritual significance in Buddhism and Hinduism. Moreover, it has the function of disrupting the linear process of writing, as words and names join together or are juxtaposed to suggest a clashing and fusing of ideas.
Dr. Patrick Seder is a post-doctoral researcher and instructor at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on well-being, positive emotions, culture, self-regulation, mindfulness...and the art of Andy Warhol.
