  • By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist's Book
    By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book Judith May Walton School of Communication and the Arts, Faculty of Arts, Education, and Human Development, Victoria University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by performance / exhibition) (December, 2010) Abstract By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book is a practice-based research project that explores what potential there might be for dancing, or an expanded notion of dance, to be found and/or created in book form. For instance, how might a book dance, rehearse its contents? What relationships can be found or forged between the body and the artist’s book: the movement of the eye, the spacing of thought, temporality and duration, and the choreography of the page? These propositions have been explored and expanded through a tactile, experiential examination of selected artists’ books from the National Art Library (NAL) of the Victoria & Albert Museum, a translation/re-working of existing performances into book form, and the creation of unique artist-made books. The project seeks to embody and enact concepts and questions considered through the research; signalling, suggesting, amplifying, and marking, gestures and rehearsals for movement. This process has resulted in three outcomes: an exhibition of artist-made books with a performed opening, a recuperation of selected past performances remembered and re-made in book form, and a series of written discussion papers and accompanying video essays based on the artists’ book collection at the NAL at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

  • Arthur Raff Oral History
    "0" Preface Page and Introductory Page An introduction by Art Raff to the following typed transcription and accompanying audio tapes: I started this on 28 March 1996 with a completely unplanned narrative ofreminiscences about my days of working for the Marine Physical Laboratory. I told ofevents just as they happened to come to mind, and thus the sequence is in no way chronological. Betty Shor typed a transcript from this fIrst tape. When I read the transcript I was embarrassed by the unprofessional quality ofmy audio tape. I took the liberty quite some time later to severely edit the transcript and add more events ofinterest, but left it in its original nonchronological sequence. So now in July 1996 I am making an audio to accompany the edited and enlarged transcript by reading the transcript to an audio tape recorder. I have compiled an index to help an interested person years from now to locate some event. This index will accompany the final transcript and audio tape.

  • Stephen E. Hobbs a Quantitative Study of Kite Performance in Natural Wind
    CRANFIELD INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY STEPHEN E. HOBBS A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF KITE PERFORMANCE IN NATURAL WIND WITH APPLICATION TO KITE ANEMOMETRY Ecological Physics Research Group PhD THESIS CRANFIELD INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ECOLOGICAL PHYSICS RESEARCH GROUP PhD THESIS Academic Year 1985-86 STEPHEN E. HOBBS A Quantitative Study of Kite Performance in Natural Wind with application to Kite Anemometry Supervisor: Professor G.W. Schaefer April 1986 (Digital version: August 2005) This thesis is submitted in ful¯llment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy °c Cran¯eld University 2005. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. i Abstract Although kites have been around for hundreds of years and put to many uses, there has so far been no systematic study of their performance. This research attempts to ¯ll this need, and considers particularly the performance of kite anemometers. An instrumented kite tether was designed and built to study kite performance. It measures line tension, inclination and azimuth at the ground, :sampling each variable at 5 or 10 Hz. The results are transmitted as a digital code and stored by microcomputer. Accurate anemometers are used simultaneously to measure the wind local to the kite, and the results are stored parallel with the tether data. As a necessary background to the experiments and analysis, existing kite information is collated, and simple models of the kite system are presented, along with a more detailed study of the kiteline and its influence on the kite system. A representative selection of single line kites has been flown from the tether in a variety of wind conditions.

  • Presto! Digitization: Part I
    Presto! Digitization: Part I From NKS Number Theory to "XORbitant" Semantics, by way of Cayley-Dickson Process and Zero-Divisor-based "Representations" Robert de Marrais [email protected] ABSTRACT The objects of the great Nonlinear Revolutions – Catastrophes and Chaos in the 1960s- 70s (henceforth, CT); and, “small-world” and “scale-free” Network Theory (NT), emerg- ing from studies of synchronization since the Millennium – will be spliced together by a New Kind of Number Theory, focused on digitizations (i.e., binary strings). NT nodes then become "feature-rich" representations (nodules in a “rhizosphere”) of CT contents. The "Box-Kite" formalism of zero divisors (ZD’s) – first showing in the 16-D Sedenions, then in all higher 2N-ions derived from Imaginaries by Cayley-Dickson Process (CDP) – can model such “enriched” nodules. Its (bit-string XOR-ing vs. matrix-multiplication- based) operations unfold into "representations" of the objects traditionally linked with “partitions of Nullity”: Singularities. The route from this “local” level of CT to fractals and Chaos, via CDP extensions to 2N-ions for growing N, will involve us in graphics of higher-dimensional “carry-bit overflow,” as manifest in the mandala-like patterns show- ing up in “emanation tables” (the rough equivalent, for ZD's, of group theorists’ Cayley Tables). More concretely, this route will model semantic propagation – “meaning” itself. I'll lead into this with a quote about "Hjelmslev's Net" (which I'll claim is the CDP man- qué) from a famous postmodern text deeply engaged with the philosophy of future mathe- matics, Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus (where “rhizosphere” imagery arose).
