  • Stacking Chairs: Local Sense and Global Nonsense
    Short and Sweet i-Perception Stacking Chairs: Local Sense January-February 2018, 1–5 ! The Author(s) 2018 DOI: 10.1177/2041669517752372 and Global Nonsense journals.sagepub.com/home/ipe Nicholas E. Scott-Samuel University of Bristol, UK Hiroshi Ashida Kyoto University, Japan P. George Lovell University of Abertay Dundee, School of Social and Health Sciences, UK Tim S. Meese Aston University, School of Life and Health Sciences, Birmingham, UK D. Samuel Schwarzkopf University College London, UK Abstract We report a confusing stimulus which demonstrates the power of local interpretation of three- dimensional structure to disrupt a coherent global perception. Keywords 3D perception, depth, perception, illusion Figure 1 shows a photograph of nine stackable chairs, leaning back at an angle against a wall. For all observers (n ¼ 40þ, recruited ad hoc via Facebook, where the stimulus was displayed), this image elicits confusion. If the number of chairs is reduced below four, the effect disappears. Figure 2(a) is an annotated version of Figure 1. The local interpretation of three-dimensional structure – at each ‘corner’, i.e. AD, BC and EF – is generally unambiguous (apart from AD, which flips in depth in a Necker-cube-like manner for some observers). But the repetition of the stacked elements along the virtual contours AD, BC and, to a lesser extent, EF suggests a change in depth along those lines which does not actually exist. Figure 2(b) makes this explicit: an abstracted version of the image reveals an alternative interpretation, which fails to correspond to reality – the repetitive structure now looks more like a stack of quadrilaterals rising from the ground plane.

Our first objective is ‘to produce satisfied graduates who get great jobs’, which includes ambitious targets for student retention, student satisfaction and graduate employment. Our second objective is ‘to help grow Cornwall’, which includes a commitment to double the number of students recruited from the county from 2013-14 levels by 2020.

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.

  • Tyndall's Memories 1958
    Sixty years of Academic Life in Bristol A. M. Tyndall [The following talk was given to the Forum of the Senior Common Room of the University of Bristol on 10 March 1958 by the late A. M. Tyndall, who was at that time Professor Emeritus of Physics, having joined the staff in 1903, been Professor of Physics from 1919 to 1948, and acting Vice-Chancellor 1945—46. The text appeared, in slightly shortened form, in 'University and Community', edited by McQueen and Taylor, 1976: a collection of essays produced to mark the centenary of the founding of University College, Bristol. The Editors were then extremely grateful to Dr Anne Cole for providing a transcript of a tape-recording of the talk; and so are we.] I thought this was going to be a conversation piece to a small group of intimate friends! As I look at the audience, I realise that I joined the Staff of University College, Bristol at a time when few of the men and, of course, none of the women were born! 1 was a student before that and in fact it will be sixty years next October since I first entered the doors of University College with the intention of studying for a degree of the University of London in a scientific subject. I was one of about 220 students in the University College at that time, of whom 60 were in what was really an affiliated institution called the Day Training College for Women Teachers. The income of the College was then a little under £5,000 a year.
