“…1) in Danto's The Transfiguration of the Commonplace. 37 Le Cravat, which first led me into the research of hypothetical art, 38 is representative of one such species. Its characteristic is that the imagined artwork is fictional but the proposed artist is real (in this case, Picasso).…”

“…In previous writings, I have introduced a concept of a hypothetical art, which I have defined as a mental creation of an art philosopher, intended to attract a reader to become fictionally involved in an art issue. 1 However, further research has led me to recognise the dual role of hypothetical art, one in the philosophy of art and one in contemporary art practice. 2 The intention of the present paper is to delve into this issue.…”

“…A hypothetical artwork is an artwork that exists only as a fictional creation of an art theorist (Selan, 2008(Selan, , 2010. Usually it is introduced into the text by the linguistic assertion of supposition; for example, by the use of syntagms: »let us suppose, imagine that, etc.« Since the hypothetical artwork has no life outside the hypothetical world of a particular art theory, its intention is not to fascinate but to explicate.…”

A hypothetical artwork is an artwork that exists only as a fictional creation of an art theorist. The explicatory powers of such hypothetical artworks are mainly used by an art theorist to reflect on an art theoretical issue under consideration. Such an artwork has an intriguing and paradoxical nature. On the one hand, it is only fictitious, but, on the other hand, it tries to function as a real token, persuading the reader to trust it as if it were a real artwork. Even though this kind of argumentation can be deceiving, as it presents a statement of real art on the basis of fiction, it has some important explicatory abilities that can be put to good usein the art educational process. In this case, the construction of the hypothetical artwork is handled as the construction of a theoretical model. The author calls such theoretical construction the method of hypothetical artwork modelling, and its result the hypothetical artwork model. Such a hypothetical artwork model can be usefully employed when one wishesto encourage the student to become fictionally involved in the process of creation of an artwork, thus giving him or her more personal experience of problems that accompany the process of creating a real artwork. When such hypothetical experience is gained, the student can more efficiently learn about the considered art issue. In the paper, the authordemonstrates how the explicatory powers of the method of hypothetical artwork modelling can be put into educational practice regarding an issue taken from colour theory (i.e., the primary colours fallacy).

Moiré pattern refers to an interference pattern that is observed when two sets of grid lines overlay one another. With special 3D rendering technique such as the “Rainbow Technique” for tomographic art generated from computed tomography (CT), the Moiré pattern can be utilized for its aesthetic effect, particularly in stereoscopic motion images to create a special visual effect. The use of the Moire pattern is featured in my piece Deep Within in the new media art exhibition “Digit@logue” curated by Ellen Pau held in Hong Kong Museum of Art in 2008.
