    Open Cultural Studies 2017; 1: 576–590 Research Article Alice Entwistle*, Inga Burrows, Fiona Carroll, Nathan Thomas, Mark Ware, Gareth Loudon Affect and Dialogue in Collaborative Cross- Disciplinary Research: Developing Interactive Public Art on Cardiff Bay Barrage https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2017-0055 Received August 22, 2017; accepted December 16, 2017 Abstract: Where Cartesian philosophy distinguishes the perceiving and perceptual mind from the body, phenomenology constitutes the experiential/experiencing body as the subject, giving rise to the affective potential of art. An immersive world of digital connections, smart cities and the Internet of Everything dramatises the centrality of relationship, the intertwining of Self and Other, in the lived environments of human experience. This article addresses the contextual, disciplinary and practical challenges encountered in developing an ambitious interactive public art project embedding SMART technology on the coastal fringes of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales (UK). It examines the processes and problems involved in delivering a stimulating aesthetic experience in and on a complex site, for a complex audience profile. It traces, in particular, the dependence of a multi-disciplinary project team on the theoretical and practical effects of affect in their ongoing effort to produce engaging, provocative, socially inclusive interactive public art, in and through human-centred design techniques. Keywords: interactive public art, site-specificity, affect, human-centred design, social disability, social inclusion Prelude If every thing has an aesthetic dimension, then so does every experience of every thing (Berleant 11, emphases original).

WELCOME HELLO and a warm welcome to the spring 2018 edition of St Fagans Community News. As I write this (at the end of January) it doesn’t seem as though spring is almost upon us. Yes bulbs are growing, trees are shooting and the birds are singing but it is cold and damp to say the least. Community Soap Box in our Summer 2017 edition highlighted residents concerns about traffic, parking and visibility in Crofft y Genau, St Fagans village. It seems as though residents concerns have not brought about change. The piece from our youngest contributor to date (page 7) shows an astute awareness of the issue. You might consider supporting the petition (see page 28). This is an issue not only for the village residents but also for the wider community. For example, those of us who undertake the perilous journey from Parc Rhydlafar through the village to get to work or the shops at Culverhouse Cross will certainly have a view.’ In our series ‘Times gone by’ we take a look at Ely Racecourse which gives us time to reflect on not only just how times have changed but also how fortunate we are to live in such a pleasant area. Our newsletter is supported by advertising from businesses in our local community. Please do support our advertisers.

Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this background paper is to provide information on the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan (LDP) candidate site assessment process. The document will be used as evidence to support the Councils’ position on the inclusion or omission of sites for development within the LDP. This paper sets out the candidate site process, methodology and the findings of the assessment process. 2. The Candidate Site Process 2.1 The Council invited developers, landowners and other interested parties to nominate “candidate sites” for potential inclusion in the emerging LDP between 4 December 2006 and 31 January 2007. Late submissions were accepted until the 27 February 2008. All sites received were subject to the Council’s Candidate Site Assessment. In total 410 submissions1 were received for a range of uses including residential, employment, minerals and renewable energy. All of the candidate sites were compiled into a register which can be viewed on the Council’s website at: http://www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/ldp 3. Candidate Site Methodology 3.1 The Council’s candidate site assessment methodology was developed to enable the Council to assess sites against a number of planning, environmental, physical and deliverability criteria.
