UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration Since
H-Early-America UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration since C18 Discussion published by John Daniel Saillant on Monday, August 25, 2014 Aaron Mulvany Monday, August 25, 2014 H-Asia DEADLINE: 5 September 2014 The Art Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund have generously funded a series of seminars (‘Travellers’ Tails’) at the National Maritime Museum and partner museums around the UK to investigate the histories, practices and interpretation of art, science and exploration from the Enlightenment to the present day. The seminars will bring together scholars, artists, scientists, explorers, members of the public and museum professionals to examine the changing nature, impact and legacies of European exploration since the mid-18th century. The seminars will focus on today’s audiences and discuss the display and interpretation of the material culture of exploration within gallery, heritage and museum environments. Seminars will interrogate the relevance of the subject and issues surrounding its presentation in a post-imperial world. George Stubbs’ iconic paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum, will provide a starting point for wider-ranging papers and discussion within a multi-disciplinary environment. Proposals of no longer than 250 words, for presentations of 20 minutes, should be sent to [email protected] by no later than Friday, 5 September 2014. We welcome submissions for papers and less-formal presentations from academics, curators, artists and other specialists in the fields. Proposals from

Rothesay March 13Th Word Count: 568 Visual Attention 1 2 Given That Our
Rothesay March 13th Word count: 568 1 Visual Attention 2 3 Given that our visual attention has limited resources, we selectively attend to areas that 4 contain salient stimuli (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004) or that match our internal goals (Hopfinger, 5 Buonocore, & Mangun, 2000). At the same time, other areas in the visual display are often 6 overlooked. Thus, a designer should carefully consider drawing viewers’ attention to important 7 information and reducing viewers’ attentional load on unimportant information. 8 Web designers recently tend to present all the information on a long page, and the 9 viewers need to scroll down to see different blocks of information. This new trend is probably 10 due to frequent mobile device use in our daily life, and we become more familiar with scrolling. 11 A critical piece of information on this type of webpage is to notify people to scroll down. 12 Otherwise, this design would be a complete failure. To successfully deliver this message, 13 designers can use preattentive features, such as motion, to draw people’s attention. For example, 14 on Google Drive’s webpage, the down arrow at the bottom of page informs people to scroll 15 down. Although the color makes the down arrow to stand out from the background, the 16 additional movement of the arrow is the key factor that draws people’s attention. Thus, dynamic 17 arrows can be useful to draw people’s attention to scroll down. 18 If a webpage is filled with dynamic objects, it will create competition between 19 information. To avoid this issue, other methods should be used to draw viewers’ attention.

Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

The Art of the Possible the Arcelormittal Orbit, Collective Memory, and Ecological Survival
The Art of the Possible The ArcelorMittal Orbit, collective memory, and ecological survival David Cross [For ‘Regeneration Songs: Sounds of Opportunity and Loss in East London’ Edited by Alberto Duman, Anna Minton, Dan Hancox and Malcolm James London: Repeater Books, September 2018] As the 2012 London Olympics have long since passed from anticipation through lived experience into history, or at least memory, I decided at last to ‘experience’ the ArcelorMittal Orbit in its physical setting. Emerging from Stratford tube station, I tried to reach the Olympic Park without passing through Westfield, Europe’s largest shopping centre. But the pedestrian walkway petered out in a banal and featureless non-place; with no viable way forward, I had to concede, and return to the main concourse. Surrounded by surveillance cameras, I felt self-conscious and began to suspect myself of having criminal thoughts. But with my field of vision dominated by a brilliant screen playing fragments of a disaster movie, interspersed with an advertisement for dairy milk chocolate, it was easy to be distracted. Framed by an avenue of retail façades, my first glimpse of the ArcelorMittal Orbit had the quality of a computer-generated image, a silhouette shimmering faintly in the polluted London air. Having found my bearings, I decided to relax and ‘go with the flow’, allowing my movement to be governed by the urban form. I wandered through the corporate branded environment, a ‘forest of signs’ enjoining me to “Explore, Discover, Experience, Share, Indulge, and Eat”. I went into a stylish boutique café with a ceiling of beaten copper and a display counter of authentic-looking wooden fruit packing crates, where I was served an organic fairtrade coffee and a delicious pain au chocolat, heated and handed to me in a recycled paper bag by someone who seemed so bored or exhausted that they were almost gone.
