Flâneurs of artistic or scholarly pursuits have long been considered iconic figures of modernism who processed newly industrializing cities of the west in subjective terms by aimlessly wandering through them, absorbing startling, contradictory novelties, and translating their experiences into art that was as radically modern as the fleeting moments it attempted to capture.Item Gold Code Series - Artist's Statement(Oakland University, 2013-01-01) Whitehead, Vagner; Cole, Natalie B.Artistic work combining the representation of three communication modes: American Sign language, Morse, and braille; called the gold code series.Item SRA: Stimulus Response Affect(Oakland University, 2015-10-16) Whitehead, Vagner; Ludwig, ColleenExcerpt from introduction by Vagner M. Whitehead: Stimulus Response Affect is an exhibition that explores the varied ways in which artists create, react, engage and understand the world around them.

The selected artworks specifically engage the human body through sensorial, perceptual, chronological and spatial changes, while considering an array of contemporary issues.
