UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Architecture, Media, And UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Architecture, Media, and Technologies of the Mind, 1948-1978 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Randolph Kinsuke Nakamura 2020 © Copyright by Randolph Kinsuke Nakamura 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Architecture, Media, and Technologies of the Mind, 1948-1978 by Randolph Kinsuke Nakamura Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Sylvia Lavin, Chair This dissertation examines the genealogy and history of the black box in architecture from the late 1940s to the late-1970s, focusing on architects, designers, and artists in the United States. Through an examination of the work of Will Burtin, Pulsa, and Doug Michels this dissertation interrogates the architectural black box as a trope, a set of protocols and a material form of architecture where the site of media projection is transformed into a means to model and manipulate human consciousness. As a site of mediation, the architectural black box in this period became a key place of exchange between art, architecture, and technoscience. ii The dissertation of Randolph Kinsuke Nakamura is approved.

It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it in 2000 as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism".[4] Drone music[5][6] is also known as drone-based music,[7] drone ambient[8] or ambient drone,[9] dronescape[10] or the modern alias dronology,[11] and often simply as drone.

  • Experimental
    Experimental Discussão de alguns exemplos Earle Brown ● Earle Brown (December 26, 1926 – July 2, 2002) was an American composer who established his own formal and notational systems. Brown was the creator of open form,[1] a style of musical construction that has influenced many composers since—notably the downtown New York scene of the 1980s (see John Zorn) and generations of younger composers. ● ● Among his most famous works are December 1952, an entirely graphic score, and the open form pieces Available Forms I & II, Centering, and Cross Sections and Color Fields. He was awarded a Foundation for Contemporary Arts John Cage Award (1998). Terry Riley ● Terrence Mitchell "Terry" Riley (born June 24, 1935) is an American composer and performing musician associated with the minimalist school of Western classical music, of which he was a pioneer. His work is deeply influenced by both jazz and Indian classical music, and has utilized innovative tape music techniques and delay systems. He is best known for works such as his 1964 composition In C and 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air, both considered landmarks of minimalist music. La Monte Young ● La Monte Thornton Young (born October 14, 1935) is an American avant-garde composer, musician, and artist generally recognized as the first minimalist composer.[1][2][3] His works are cited as prominent examples of post-war experimental and contemporary music, and were tied to New York's downtown music and Fluxus art scenes.[4] Young is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in Western drone music (originally referred to as "dream music"), prominently explored in the 1960s with the experimental music collective the Theatre of Eternal Music.

  • 2018 Annual Meeting
    2018 ANNUAL MEETING If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. —Galatians 5:25 JUNE 2–4 Program and guide WELCOME Welcome to Annual Meeting! This Manual-based activity is more than a yearly embrace of one another in the work of Church, however joyful and inspiring these shared moments are. As with the earliest disciples when they gathered together after our Master’s ascension, we, too, continually find there is more to discover, more to engage with, and more that burns within our hearts of the living Word. It impels us to walk in the Spirit each day, finding in every activity and every encounter an opportunity to witness to God’s goodness and grace. It’s not always easy. The resistance the first Christians faced from entrenched material systems of thought and power could have been discouraging, even overwhelming. But the joy of knowing God’s true nature as All—as eternal Life and infinite Love— sustained them. And following Christ Jesus brought them step by step into a new sense of reality and its present possibilities. Whether taking those footsteps in the first century or in the 21st, it brings disciples of any age the same satisfying sense of fellowship and purpose in this holiest Cause. When we gather like this, we feel the power of Spirit animating us as one global movement. As we support one another and respond to the world around us, we recognize how essential and needed each of us is. With renewed affection and expectation, let us walk forward in the Spirit together.

Arguments can be made on the bases of shared cultural experiences, including language and education, but these need to be tested rather than simply assumed. Yet there is an extensive tradition in particular of histories of music from the United States which assume such music constitutes a body of work separable from other concurrent music, or at least will benefit from such isolation, because of its supposed unique properties.

  • Development of Computer Typesetting
    Early steps in computer typesetting in the 1960s Jonathan Seybold, September 2018 1961–1964 Michael Barnett’s “Experiments in Typesetting” In 1961, Michael Barnett, an associate professor at MIT wrote a computer program that could produce punched paper tape output to drive a phototypesetting machine. He used this to produce the “Tail” from Alice in Wonderland, and a phototypeset press release. These were the first documents that were phototypeset from output generated by a computer. In 1962 Barnett received a research grant to continue this experiments. This lead to development of the PC6 system, which was used to produce a variety of reports, pamphlets and other publications in late 1963 and early 1964.1 Hardware: IBM 709/90 computer and a Photon 560 phototypesetter. Software: Written in Fortran, with a few routines written in FAP (Fortran Assembler). Written for a specific Photon 560 set-up. Typefonts were identified by disk position and row number. The TYPRINT program for text output composed text to fit a predefined page width and depth. Lines were broken after the last complete word that would fit on that line. There was no attempt at hyphenation. Pages were arbitrarily broken after the last line that would fit on the page. Special commands could be embedded in the text to tie text elements together. When it encountered these, the program would simply make the page as long as necessary to accommodate all of the text in the “no break” area. Given the scientific academic setting, the most notable feature of TYPRINT was a program written by J.M.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106 - 1346 20618054 2 The Evolution of the Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978 Abstract The thesis traces the evolution of the printed image of the Bengali script from its inception in movable metal type to its current status in digital photocomposition. It is concerned with identifying the factors that influenced the shaping of the Bengali character by examining the most significant Bengali type designs in their historical context, and by analyzing the composing techniques employed during the past two centuries for printing the script. Introduction: The thesis is divided into three parts according to the different methods of type manufacture and composition: 1. The Development of Movable Metal Types for the Bengali Script Particular emphasis is placed on the early founts which lay the foundations of Bengali typography.
