This map proposes chapter two a novel, fine-grained approach to regional delineation, based on analysing networks of billions of individual human transactions. Given a geographical area and some measure of the strength of links between its inhabitants, we Charting Human Life show how to partition the area into smaller, non-overlapping regions while minimizing the disruption to each person’s links. We tested our method on the largest non- Internet human network, inferred from a large telecommunications database in Britain. Our partitioning algorithm yields geographically cohesive regions that correspond 121 remarkably well with administrative regions, while unveiling unexpected spatial structures that had previously only been hypothesized in the literature. We also quantify the effects of partitioning, showing for instance that the effects of a possible secession of Wales from Britain would be twice as disruptive for the human network than that d O uglA s R usH k O ff of Scotland. media theorist.

  • Press Release Adam Chodzko, 2007 (Pdf)
    For immediate release 13/11/ 07 THEN, ​an intriguing new Breaking Ground multi-part public artwork in various locations across Dublin by acclaimed British artist Adam Chodzko. Residents of Ballymun are perplexed this morning by a series of posters, which have mysteriously appeared overnight on hoarding along the Balbutcher Road, announcing a meeting to take place in the foyer of the Hagens Hotel, Måløy, Sogn og Fjordane, on the island of Vågsøy. Yet the photo on the poster seems to be a streetscape in Mexico City, taken in the early ‘70’s. Each afternoon, on the top floor of the recently restored ​Na Píobairí Uilleann ​/Uillean Pipers headquarters on Henrietta Street, ​a new sci-fi film, ‘Around’, documenting the paranormal and uncanny properties of an otherwise unremarkable boundary wall and its effects on an unsuspecting group of individuals, is showing. And visitors to Dublin City Gallery ​the Hugh Lane​, can ​swap their shoes for someone else’s, which they’ll wear as they walk around the Gallery’s other exhibitions and permanent collection. Meanwhile, preliminary discussions with ​property developer Mick Wallace are being had, about the possibility of using the name Ballymun in a new development somewhere else in the city, some time in the future. “Adam Chodzko is recognised internationally for his multi-media work which triggers a shift in our perception of where we think we belong in the world​. Fact and fiction are provocatively intermixed, and terms such as ‘community’ and ‘the public’ are deviated as we enter a surrealist world which plays on notions that we take for granted and assume that we understand!” says Aisling Prior, curator of Breaking Ground.

Peer Sessions is a London-based nomadic crit group, established in 2009 by artists Kate Pickering and Charlotte Warne Thomas. Peer Sessions’ monthly meetings provide a forum for artists to come together to discuss and receive feedback on recent work in relation to current concerns in contemporary art and culture. In addition, we organise projects: workshops, exhibitions and residencies focusing on direct artistic collaboration. For Future Refrains, Peer Sessions selected three member artists and invited each to choose a recent MA Fine Art graduate with whom to collaborate. Future Refrains will feature these three new commissions, alongside works from established artists Adam Chodzko and Lindsay Seers, who have each guest moderated recent Peer Sessions crit groups. As part of Future Refrains, a performance and screening day with live panel discussion, Collaboration in Question, on Saturday 23rd September will explore the processes and implications of collaborative practice for this project and in the wider world of contemporary art. Peer Sessions derives its name from the double meaning of the word peer: both in terms of examining something in depth and referring to a group of equals – artists who have recently completed postgraduate education.

    Bad Behaviour from the Arts Council Collection A new National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery Bad Behaviour charts a subversive streak in contemporary art, focusing on a generation of artists who challenge conventions and overturn established principles and social codes. Featuring over 50 works from the Arts Council Collection, mostly recent acquisitions, this new National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery, South Bank Centre presents contemporary British sculpture, installation, photography and video from the 80s to now. It opens at Longside Gallery in November before touring extensively around the UK. Some artists take the term ‘bad behaviour’ literally. In Gilbert & George’s Gordon’s Makes Us Drunk a camera is directed on the artists as they become increasingly intoxicated, drinking glass after glass of neat gin. A giant plastic gnome is covered with cigarettes by Sarah Lucas for her sculpture Willy, while Ultralow sees Jim Lambie smoking his way through an packet of Silk Cut Ultralows, one after the other, in the dark. Several of the works challenge national institutions with anti-establishment sentiment. Although politically subversive in content they retain a tongue-in-cheek cynicism. Jonathan Parsons’s Achrome reduces the Union Flag to a representation of the original drained of all its colour while Jason Coburn makes a drawing on covertly obtained Ministry of Defence headed notepaper. Gregory Green reminds us of political unrest with his installation of an impromptu bomb-making factory. Other artists borrow the language of protest sloganeering to make works whose messages are de-politicised and obscured in their present context. The rhetoric of protest is the inspiration for Bob and Roberta Smith’s video Make Art not War, where the artist assumes the role of a crazed political orator.
