Internet art that employs data visualisation techniques may be engaged with both in terms of the data used and also the interface to that data. Such an approach allows it to be understood as opening the possibility of an awareness of the contingency of the way any given community is constructed. The focus is shifted away from understanding data visualisation art as providing a transparent repre...

This paper describes an environment for editing and performing interactive media art/entertainment. The design background is to provide artistic/entertainment pieces, in which multiple people can participate without special sensory equipment. This paper introduces a gesture input function using color tags in the image and some matching functions to be used for writing a piece. This paper shows ...

Participants viewed a list of black-and-white line drawings and were then presented with a picture fragment identification task in which half of the fragments corresponded to studied pictures and half corresponded to unstudied pictures. In addition to trying to identify each picture fragment, participants gave a rating to indicate the likelihood that the fragment came from a studied picture. Wh...

The authors investigated the effect of age and time of testing on the ability to control attention and addressed the possibility that older adults' susceptibility to distraction may sometimes facilitate performance on a later cognitive task. Using a modification of a G. Rees, C. Russell, C. D. Frith, and J. Driver (1999) procedure, the authors asked the participants to make same or different ju...

S. Brennan (1985, Leonardo, 18, 170-178) has developed a computer-implemented caricature generator based on a holistic theory of caricature. A face is represented by 37 lines, based on a fixed set of 169 points. Caricatures are produced by exaggerating all metric differences between a face and a norm. Anticaricatures can be created by reducing all the differences between a face and a norm. Cari...

The chapter on the therapeutical uses of pituitary extracts should be of considerable interest to the physician. A perusal of its contents will prevent rash and empirical use of a powerful therapeutic agent, the administration of which in unsuitable cases or in the wrong set of circumstances may be attended with fatal results. The volume is profusely illusti'ated and most of the drawings are or...

Conformity is thought to be an important force in human evolution because it has the potential to stabilize cultural homogeneity within groups and cultural diversity between groups. However, the effects of such conformity on cultural and biological evolution will depend much on the particular way in which individuals are influenced by the frequency of alternative behavioral options they witness...

tions, made in Rome, relating to the specific alterations which occur in the red blood globules during the infection of malaria. The drawings which I now send embody the latest results of a further series of observations on this subject made during 1885 in Rome and in the Pontine marshes by Marchiafava (my successor in the chair of Pathology in the University of Rome, and former assistant) and ...

This article presents a technique for bringing the history of microbiology to life in an exciting way. Eight miniature models were created, based on photographs or drawings, showing scientists at work in their labs. The models chosen represent important discoveries in microbiology, illustrating changes and advances in techniques and tools over the history of the discipline from 1600 through 200...

“Representation includes everything people construct to be known as a visual record or figurative manifestation of that reality. [...] Within this approach, architects usually reduce the definition of representation to the creation of such visual forms as drawings or models that selectively double or imitate the physical reality of a building. I would like to move beyond this traditional view t...
