Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Exhibition Methodology "ARTOGRAPHY" According to scholar, Rita L. Irwin (2022), A/r/tography is the practice of exploring the world through a continuous process of creating art and writing. The two mediums are interconnected, weaving together to create enhanced meanings. A/r/tographical work is guided by concepts such as living inquiry, metaphor/metonymy, and excess, embodied in the exchanges between art and text. While a/r/tography is about self-expression, it is also social. Groups of a/r/tographers come together to engage in shared inquiries and present their collective works to others.
