Presenting architecture on a digital flatland: a case study on Murcutt, Lewin and Lark’s The Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre.Kwee, Verdy January 2007 (has links)
This thesis primarily deals with the presentation of architectural information in order to allow a wider audience to gain a better understanding of an existing architectural work. It proposes to augment the role of visual media in explaining architectural subjects – beyond the commonly accepted levels in the current print publications or on the internet. The effectiveness of traditional publications of notable buildings in terms of their level of presentation and degree of information rigour are commonly presumed but unproven. In this era, their unchallenged role as facilitators for clear and in-depth learning results in mainly digital replications of conventional presentation methods. Little has been explored in the area of expanding digital visualisation capabilities to leverage information clarity. This thesis enquires into architectural precedent presentation possibilities specifically within the limitations of computer screens. The approach involves a worldwide online survey to investigate public perception of current media effectiveness within commonly available publications. The research also explores several digital visualisation presentation techniques. Together with the collected data about the building, this exploration and the results of the survey are considered in the production of a digital presentation prototype of The Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre by Australian architects Glenn Murcutt, Wendy Lewin and Reg Lark. While the thesis findings highlight critical areas overlooked by current publications, the illustrative prototype serves as a basis to propose opportunities that could be explored. There are three obvious outcomes derived from this research project: • The scope and depth of information about the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre extends beyond what any one secondary source currently provides. Materials relevant to many aspects of the building are researched from primary sources. • There are presently numerous methods to visualise architectural information. However, in order to use them as more robust learning instruments, the thesis highlights several factors for their design enhancement. It describes some digital visualisation possibilities for adoption in future digital architectural publications. • The thesis outlines the stages undertaken and some considerations in their implementations. The design of the digital prototype presentation of the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Education Centre suggests not only a direction for similar future works, but also identifies the technological facilitation gaps that we still need to address. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1294656 / Thesis( Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design, 2007

Collaborations between arts and commercial digital industry sectors : a curatorial practice-led investigation of modes of productionO'Hara, Suzy January 2016 (has links)
Much work has been done over the past two decades exploring and creating many collaborative, cross-sector environments between arts, computer sciences and research that have supported the production of art, including: new media labs; co- working spaces; media focused gallery spaces; electronic art festivals; and the Internet itself. Less research has been done into the possibilities that exist in collaborations between the arts and commercial digital industries. The combination of two distinct and powerful hierarchical systems has forced a revision of current working practice within each field. This research interrogates the impact of collaborations between the arts and commercial digital industries, and identifies the impact of those collaborations upon curatorial and artistic modes of practice, with a particular focus on production. It identifies some of the inherent value systems, and describes a range of collaborative modes of artistic production that sit along a spectrum of power balances between the arts and commercial digital industry sectors, from Brand Marketing to Artist Practice as Business. The areas of difference in roles and working practices identified through both case studies and curatorial projects include factors such as: Value and Money, Time and Capacity, Crediting and Intellectual Property, and Roles and Working Practices. The curatorial projects include Dear Angel a commission of participatory art which uses both digital and other media, a NESTA Digital R&D for the Arts proposal, and for Thinking Digital Arts, a commission of an artwork by an artist/creative technologist partnership, and a digital (art) hack production workshop. How the curatorial role works in the interface between the arts and commercial digital industries is analysed. The patterns of difference and the power balances identified in the research aim to be useful to other practitioners.

From visual poetry to digital art : image-sound-text, convergent media, and the development of new media languagesMencia, Maria January 2003 (has links)
This research arises from my practice as a professional artist and my concern with issues of language and communication, particularly, the investigation of ways that arouse emotion and rational thought at once through language. Visual Poetry is a form of expression, which provokes both, and I saw the potential to expand its underlining principles further with the emergence of new technologies. With the digital medium, the main elements of visual and sound poetry: image, sound and text, can now be incorporated into the same piece of work. The aim of this study is to explore new digital communicative systems that interweave visual, oral and semantic elements of language, to produce new media languages where the pre-linguistic and linguistic maintain their symbiotic identities. This study examines theoretical and artistic concerns emerging from the area in-between, which is created by interlacing image, sound and text in the same artwork. It addresses the following series of questions: How to transfer the main concepts from Visual Poetry to Digital Art? How does computer technology transform image, sound and text to create new media languages? What is the role of the author, reader, writer, producer in these new interactive textualities of image, sound and text? How has this affected the new conventions of reading, looking, producing, using and thinking? What does the digital add to the interactivelexts of Visual Poetry? What new meanings and processes of thinking, understanding and interpretation are appearing? In which way do new technologies enhance the collaborative nature of practice? This investigation brings knowledge from other disciplines into the art field and it explores different serniotic models such as the linguistic the visual and the aural. It blurs the barriers between the visual and the linguistic: between different art forms such as fine art, visual poetry and sound art/poetry in a new digital and technological arena. It questions the conventions applied to these critical areas with the aid of the new tools and critical concepts available through digital technology. This study challenges the viewer/listener/user with an interface of signs from different languages and serniotic systems: the visual (still and moving images), the audible and the linguistic, to participate and explore the multiple possibilities within a work. This investigation seeks to contribute to a new body of knowledge in the development of the areas of Visual Poetry, Digital Art and the new genre of Electronic Poetry, by creating new, innovative, digital artworks for which, as a new form of expression, critical and analytical conventions are still in the process of development.

Comprehension AIDS, Internet Technologies, and the Reading of Authentic Materials by Adult Second Language LearnersUnknown Date (has links)
For second language teachers and theorists alike, there is a need to understand the processes involved in the second language learner's pursuit of comprehension during the act of reading in the target language. This study seeks to provide insights into issues such as how second language readers approach the task in terms of how they use resources in the form of comprehension aids, how and if readers at different levels of instructed second language experience differ in their use of resources, and what advantages computer tracking confers on the analysis of data concerning reading behavior. Specifically, it addresses the problem of determining what comprehension aids second language readers actually use when reading an authentic text on computer and the role that the readers' level of instructed second language experience plays in their choice of aids. Additionally, it focuses on the core problem of how to gain access to the reading process. To this end the study utilizes the constructs put forward in the top-down, bottom-up, and interactive processing metaphors and the linguistic threshold hypothesis to address four questions: 1) Given several comprehension aids as resources, a) what resources will second language readers use when reading a text on computer? b) with what frequency will they use them? 2) What role does level of instructed second language experience play in strategy choice? 3) What advantage(s) does the tracking of reading behavior confer on data analysis in second language text processing? 4) What implications do these findings suggest for future studies of text processing and comprehension? The dependent variable in the study is the number of times that comprehension aids are consulted, and the independent variable is the level of instructed second language experience of the various participants. In this way it focuses on issues of concern, not only to second language teachers, but to language learners as well. / A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics in

A Qualitative Analysis of Revenue Sharing in Professional Sports Broadcasting Using Network TheoryUnknown Date (has links)
Over the past 25 years, the relationship between professional sports leagues and broadcast networks has employed a traditional rights fee model. This model involves a guaranteed upfront payment from the networks to the leagues. Over the past decade, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League have each utilized multiple networks as their television outlet. In 2002, NBC became the first of the four major networks to not be affiliated with any of the four leagues after claiming they lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to skyrocketing rights fees. NBC is now attempting a revenue sharing model with the Arena Football League in an effort to control their expenses. Wolfe, Meenaghan, and O'Sullivan's (1998) network theory concepts of power, dependency, and relationship provide the foundation of this study. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the alternative revenue sharing model, and how the model could alter Wolfe et al.'s (1998) network theory concepts between broadcast networks and professional sports leagues. A qualitative case study approach was utilized to interpret data collected through interviews with four participants who have expert knowledge of the sports broadcasting industry. The major findings reveal that the revenue sharing model is an effective model for broadcast networks and professional sports leagues, and the revenue sharing model impacts the concepts of power, dependency, and relationship between the networks and the leagues. This study answers research questions relating to network theory, as well as future implications for the relationship between television and sport. / A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Sport Management, Recreation Management,
