viewpoint the web page as Cave Painting some observations on the art of communicating through the world wide web
International Journal of Information Management, 2001Co-Authors: Andrew WhitworthAbstract:Le Web, generalement considere comme une forme ultra-moderne de technologie de l'information, est en fait essentiellement primitif et ne doit pas nous faire perdre de vue que c'est la technologie qui est au service de l'information et non l'inverse. Utiliser pleinement ses potentialites en tant que moyen de communication requiert de prendre en compte, plutot que les aspects techniques, les questions de conception, de contenu, de presentation, de style et de structure des pages web.

pleistocene Cave art from sulawesi indonesia
Nature, 2014Co-Authors: Maxime Aubert, Adam Brumm, Muhammad Ramli, Thomas Sutikna, E W Saptomo, Budianto Hakim, Michael J Morwood, G D Van Den BerghAbstract:Cave art from the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, consisting of human hand stencils and animal Paintings, is at least 40,000 years old, raising the question of why rock art traditions appeared at more or less the same time at opposite ends of the Late Pleistocene human world. New dating results challenge the traditional view that western Europe was the centre of a crucial stage in the evolution of modern human intelligence and culture — based largely on the emergence of figurative or representational art in Cave Paintings and sculptures around 40,000 years ago. Dating data from a series of hand stencils and Paintings of wild animals from Caves in the Maros karst in Sulawesi, Indonesia, suggest that figurative art appeared at more or less the same time at opposite ends of the Late Pleistocene world. Or was Cave Painting practised by the first Homo sapiens to leave Africa tens of thousands of years earlier? Archaeologists have long been puzzled by the appearance in Europe ∼40–35 thousand years (kyr) ago of a rich corpus of sophisticated artworks, including parietal art (that is, Paintings, drawings and engravings on immobile rock surfaces)1,2 and portable art (for example, carved figurines)3,4, and the absence or scarcity of equivalent, well-dated evidence elsewhere, especially along early human migration routes in South Asia and the Far East, including Wallacea and Australia5,6,7,8, where modern humans (Homo sapiens) were established by 50 kyr ago9,10. Here, using uranium-series dating of coralloid speleothems directly associated with 12 human hand stencils and two figurative animal depictions from seven Cave sites in the Maros karsts of Sulawesi, we show that rock art traditions on this Indonesian island are at least compatible in age with the oldest European art11. The earliest dated image from Maros, with a minimum age of 39.9 kyr, is now the oldest known hand stencil in the world. In addition, a Painting of a babirusa (‘pig-deer’) made at least 35.4 kyr ago is among the earliest dated figurative depictions worldwide, if not the earliest one. Among the implications, it can now be demonstrated that humans were producing rock art by ∼40 kyr ago at opposite ends of the Pleistocene Eurasian world.

lukisan gua di gua kelew kelantan sebagai media komunikasi masyarakat prasejarah Cave Painting in gua kelew kelantan as the media communications of the prehistoric community
ASIAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENT HISTORY AND HERITAGE, 2020Co-Authors: Zuliskandar Ramli, Nur Farriehah Azizan, Natasha Edreena Mohamad Nasruddin, Angela InjunAbstract:Abstrak Di Kelantan terdapat beberapa tapak lukisan dinding gua batu kapur yang telah ditemui namun ia kurang diketahui oleh umum. Lukisan gua ini mungkin dilukis oleh masyarakat yang pernah menghuni gua-gua batu kapur suatu ketika dahulu seperti masyarakat prasejarah khususnya mahupun masyarakat Orang Asli Temiar dari kumpulan etnik senoi. Terdapat tiga teknik dalam menghasilkan lukisan gua iaitu teknik petroglif, piktograf dan hand stencil. Kebanyakan lukisan gua di Kelantan mempunyai kesan peninggalan monokromatik daripada bahan arang yang berwarna hitam seperti yang terdapat di Gua Batu Cincin, Hulu Kelatan. Imej-imej yang sering kali ditemui antaranya terdiri daripada imej figura, flora dan fauna, geometrik serta imej abstrak yang dilukis pada permukaan dinding gua batu kapur. Keindahan dan kehalusan yang dapat dilihat melalui lukisan gua ini jelas mengambarkan kewujudan unsur-unsur budaya dan intelektualisme masyarakat zaman dahulu. Melalui penyelidikan dan ekskavasi arkeologi yang dijalankan di Hulu Kelantan telah menjumpai penemuan baru lukisan gua seperti di Gua Lubang Kelawar, Gua Kecil Batu Tambah serta Gua Kelew yang menunjukkan bahawa gua ini telah digunakan oleh masyarakat Neolitik dan Orang Asli. Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa masyarakat zaman dahulu mempunyai idea yang baik dalam mengekspresikan aktiviti harian mereka seperti memburu, mengumpul makanan dan upacara ritual ke dalam bentuk lukisan gua. Kata kunci: prasejarah, gua batu kapur, lukisan gua, motif, teknik Abstract In Kelantan there are some limestone Cave wall Paintings that have been found but they are less known to the public. This Cave Painting may be painted by people who once inhabited limestone Caves long time ago as prehistoric society, especially indigenous people from ethnic Senoi. There are three techniques in producing Cave Paintings, petroglyphs, pectograph and hand stencil. Most of the Cave Paintings in Kelantan have the monocromatic abandonment of the black charcoal material as found in the Batu Cincin Cave, Hulu Kelantan. The images are often found among them are images of figure, flora and fauna, geometric and abstract images drawn on the surfaces of limestone Cave walls. The beauty and fineness that can be seen through this Cave Painting clearly illustrates the existence of cultural elements and intellectuals of ancient times. Through archaeological research and excavations conducted in Hulu Kelantan, it has discovered new Cave drawings such as Gua Lubang Kelawar, Gua Kecil Batu Tambah and Gua Kelew which indicate that this Cave was used by Neolithic and Indigenous people. This shows that old people have a good idea in expressing their daily activities such as hunting, gathering food and ritual ceremonies into the form of Cave Paintings . Key words: prehistoric, limestone Cave, Cave Painting, motif, techique
