Prisons of Creativity : Artistic Innovation During Incarceration
Sparking a discussion of the importance of creativity for the well-being of society, this book highlights and argues for the potential of those in prison to learn and exercise the skills of writing, visual arts, and music; to protect their intellectual property; and to distribute their works to the public, and the consequent benefits of their creative contribution to wider society. Focused on the premise that a nation’s well-being and competitive advantage in innovation are advanced by promoting the creative efforts of all its citizens without exclusion, including those residing in prisons, this book uses the United States as a case study to illuminate the potential among any nation’s prison population to contribute to its store of creative works.Arguing that creativity should be encouraged for the benefit of all, it offers a framework for how incarcerated individuals globally could be permitted to engage in learning and undertaking skills in the expressive arts to produce works for public dissemination.Supporting this argument, it explores and analyses the Intellectual Property clause of the Constitution of the United States. Emphasizing not just the internal but also the external value of creativity in prison, Prisons of Creativity widens and elevates the discourse concerning the institution of prison in society and its social goals.It will be of great value to anyone with an interest in arts in corrections, including educators and practitioners, professionals and policy makers within the criminal justice system, and students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and related areas.

An artistic performance is a creative expression or presentation that conveys a message, emotion, or story through various art forms such as music, dance, theater, or visual arts. It involves the use of skills, techniques, and imagination to captivate and engage an audience. Artistic performances can be live or recorded, and they often aim to evoke a response or provoke thought from the viewers.
-
What were the artistic intentions in performance art?
Performance art was intended to challenge traditional forms of art by breaking down the boundaries between art and everyday life. Artists sought to create experiences that were immediate, visceral, and often confrontational, aiming to provoke emotional and intellectual responses from the audience. Performance art also aimed to blur the distinction between the artist and the artwork, often incorporating the artist's own body and actions as the medium of expression. Overall, the intention was to push the boundaries of what could be considered art and to engage the audience in a more direct and participatory way.

Does synchronization steal a significant part of the artistic performance?
Synchronization can enhance the artistic performance by ensuring that all elements of a performance are perfectly coordinated, creating a more polished and professional presentation. However, some may argue that relying too heavily on synchronization can detract from the authenticity and spontaneity of a live performance, potentially diminishing the emotional connection between the performer and the audience. Ultimately, the impact of synchronization on the artistic performance depends on how it is used and integrated into the overall presentation.
-
Does synchronization steal an essential part of the artistic performance?
Synchronization can be seen as stealing an essential part of the artistic performance for some people, as it takes away the spontaneity and raw emotion that comes with live, unscripted performances. It can make the performance feel less authentic and more manufactured. However, for others, synchronization can enhance the artistic performance by allowing for precise coordination and a visually stunning presentation. Ultimately, whether synchronization steals an essential part of the artistic performance is subjective and depends on individual preferences and the specific context of the performance.
