VarèSE's POème éLectronique Regained: Evidence from the VEP Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Poème Électronique in the Philips Pavilion at the World Fair of Brussels 1958 was a unique experience, the very first multimedia project to involve a sense of the total experience of vision and sound. Realized by three relevant personalities of contemporary culture, Le Corbusier (conception after Kalff, coordination and visual show), Varèse (organized spatial sound delivered over 350 loudspeakers), Xenakis (architecture of the pavilion), the Poème Électronique has never been repeated after the Philips Pavilion has been pulled down after the Expo. The Virtual Electronic Poem (VEP) project is reconstructing the lost artwork with virtual reality techniques. In this paper we consider the technical aspects of the reconstruction of the audio part of the Poème by describing the investigations made on the piece and by connecting the Poème to the whole Varèsian production.

Visual evoked potential (VEP) asymmetry in which a preponderance of nasal and temporal retina afferents project to the contralateral hemisphere after full-field monocular stimulation is considered specific to albinism. Some reports, however, suggest that patients with congenital nystagmus (CN) share the albino-like visual pathway anomaly. To examine the clinical specificity of albino misrouting...

Background The lack of effective use of research evidence in policy-making is a major challenge in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). There is need to package research data into effective policy tools that will help policy-makers to make evidence-informed policy regarding infectious diseases of poverty (IDP). The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of training works...
