    Physicality of the Analogue by Duncan Robinson BFA(Hons) Submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. 2 Signed statement of originality This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, it incorporates no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text. Duncan Robinson 3 Signed statement of authority of access to copying This Thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Duncan Robinson 4 Abstract: Inside the video player, spools spin, sensors read and heads rotate, generating an analogue signal from the videotape running through the system to the monitor. Within this electro mechanical space there is opportunity for intervention. Its accessibility allows direct manipulation to take place, creating imagery on the tape as pre-recorded signal of black burst1 without sound rolls through its mechanisms. The actual physical contact, manipulation of the tape, the moving mechanisms and the resulting images are the essence of the variable electrical space within which the analogue video signal is generated. In a way similar to the methods of the Musique Concrete pioneers, or EISENSTEIN's refinement of montage, I have explored the physical possibilities of machine intervention. I am working with what could be considered the last traces of analogue - audiotape was superseded by the compact disc and the videotape shall eventually be replaced by 2 digital video • For me, analogue is the space inside the video player.

It also appears in the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire when Blanche DuBois asks it of Mitch. Seemingly awkward because of its use of the formal pronoun, it means, “Do you want to sleep with me (tonight)?” For ten points, give this phrase re-introduced to a new generation by Mya, Lil’ Kim, Pink, and Christina Aguilera in their 2001 version of “Lady Marmalade”. Answer: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)? 2. In Need for Speed: Most Wanted it’s called “Speed Breaker”, and is most often used to dodge roadblocks. In GUN, it’s called “Quick Draw.” The earliest example of it is probably in the 1980 Epyx game Rescue at Rigel. In Star Wars: Jedi Academy, you can get it using “Force Speed,” by killing Reborn Jedis, or typing the cheat code “there is no spoon.” For ten points, give the common name for the ability in video games to move at normal speed while the rest of the game is slowed down, most famously used in the Max Payne and, predictably, Matrix videogames. Answer: bullet time (Prompt on “slow motion” or equivalents. Note for itinerant cheaters: the cheat code is really “thereisnospoon”) 3.

  • In the Field Part 2 (Pizzas, RAY + JULIE and Euro'96
    In the field part 2 (Pizzas, RAY + JULIE and Euro’96): Community Art 1995-6 Alan Dunn Postscript without conclusion At that De Niro meal in Chicago in 1994, Jon Pounds says something to me that I don’t quite process fully at the time but it lingers. He looks at Bellgrove, Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Sinatra and suggests that I like the idea of public and community art more than I like public and community art in themselves. I think Jon’s comment has to do with context. He has lived and worked in Chicago his whole life, which is very different from the notion of the artist in residence in different cities and working with different communities, which is what these texts are becoming documents of. Do I use community and public art as currency as I use sound art or curating? Very possibly, but at the same time the notion of projects is highly addictive. I see everything through project-glasses and projects are like little plays with organisation, characters, un/planned events, settings, moments of interaction and undercurrents of meaning. Liking the idea of something over the thing itself of course suggests a reluctance to commit, a map rather than the landscape or the concept of love as opposed to being in love. During an EA crit, Roddy B suggests his billboards are conversational whereas mine are more presentational or observational. There is a degree of truth in this, however, and these questions linger. 1995 Liverpool in January.

  • Lebanon: Background and U.S. Relations
    Lebanon: Background and U.S. Relations Casey L. Addis Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs February 1, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40054 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Lebanon: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Lebanon is a religiously diverse country transitioning toward independence and democratic consolidation after a ruinous civil war and the subsequent Syrian and Israeli occupations. The United States and Lebanon have historically enjoyed a good relationship due in part to cultural and religious ties; the democratic character of the state; a large, Lebanese-American community in the United States; and the pro-western orientation of Lebanon, particularly during the cold war. Current policy priorities of the United States include strengthening the weak democratic institutions of the state, limiting the influence of Iran, Syria, and others in Lebanon’s political process, and countering threats from Hezbollah and other militant groups in Lebanon. Following Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon in 2005 and the war between Israel and Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, the Bush Administration requested and Congress appropriated a significant increase in U.S. assistance to Lebanon. Since 2006, U.S. assistance to Lebanon has topped $1 billion total over three years, including for the first time U.S. security assistance for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Internal Security Forces (ISF) of Lebanon. Several key issues in U.S.-Lebanon relations could potentially affect future U.S. assistance to Lebanon. The scope and influence of foreign actors, primarily Syria and Iran; unresolved territorial disputes; concerns about extremist groups operating in Lebanon; and potential indictments by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) are among the challenges facing the Lebanese government and U.S.

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

Throughout the year students can expect regular classes in acting techniques, Improvisation, text analysis, vocal training, singing, movement and dance, acting for camera techniques among others, all taught by dynamic working professionals. In addition, there are regular performance projects that enable students to consolidate their learning and put into practice the new skills acquired in the many classes undertaken. The rehearsal sessions run on one afternoon a week during the term before becoming full-time for the final 2 weeks. The play chosen to be worked on during term one is often contemporary which is performed in-house to other students and tutors and a classical piece is selected for work on during the second term which is performed in-house before being taken to local schools. In the final term students participate in two different public performance projects, both at professional theatre venues in Central London, giving the students the opportunity to showcase their talent to industry professionals as well as family and friends.
