Some Names for Empty Space is a collection of poems that considers how poetry and language operate to define human experience, reconciling the 'empty spaces' between the self and the abstracted variables of all things. The poems here often find their impetus in fatherhood and a parent's efforts to explain the world to a child.

This thesis proposes an efficient method to accelerate ray based volume rendering with texture slabs using programmable graphics hardware. In this method, empty space skipping and early ray termination are utilized without performing any preprocessing on CPU side. The acceleration structure is created on the fly by making use of depth buffer efficiently on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) side. In the proposed method, texture slices are grouped together to form a texture slab. Rendering all the slabs from front to back viewing order in multiple rendering passes generates the resulting volume image. Slab silhouette maps (SSM) are created to identify and skip empty spaces along the ray direction at pixel level. These maps are created from the alpha component of the slab and stored in the depth buffer. In addition to the empty region information, SSM also contains information about the terminated rays. The method relies on hardware z-occlusion culling that is realized by means of SSMs to accelerate ray traversals. The cost of generating this acceleration data structure is very small compared to the total rendering time.

Le thème central de la recherche est la place du vide constructif dans la dimension spatiale du décor de cinéma. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence, à travers les racines et le processus de création du décor de cinéma, la notion d’objet espace vide comme source d’informations et comme « troncage narratif » en sus de sa spatialité et de sa dépendance au construit et au visible. En s’appuyant sur la notion de tressage, on observe le jeu du visible et de l’invisible qui devient, pour le décorateur, le jeu du construit, de l’intervalle et du vide. Cette poïétique du décor de cinéma nous fait voyager en aller-retour entre image et espace. L’image de création, l’image iconographique devient matière, ontogénèse à double sens. L’étude des processus de perception des images met en évidence des notions que le créateur d’espace, le décorateur plasticien utilisera dans la modélisation de son espace poétique et la mise en place de sa vraisemblance, émergence de nos jeux d’enfance. Espace de la feinte théâtrale et cinématographique, espace poétique sensible au scopique, véritable installation panoptique du sens dont le processus de perception a été expérimenté par certains artistes du Quattrocento avec la naissance de la perspective puis ensuite par des artistes contemporains. / The central theme of my research is the importance of constructive emptiness in the spatial dimension of the film set. My intent is to highlight, through the roots and processes of the creation of the film set, the notion of empty space object as a source of information and as a “narrative truncation" besides its spatiality and dependence on what is constructed and visible. By relying on the notion of interweaving, one can observe the interactions of what is visible and invisible, which becomes, for the set designer, the interactions of what has been constructed on the set, as well as the intervals and the empty spaces. This poietics of the film set makes us go back and forth between image and space. The creative image, the iconographic image becomes material, a two-way ontogeny. The study of the process of image perception highlights the concepts that the creator of the space, the artistic decorator, will use in the modelling of their poetic space and the establishment of their likelihood, which is the emergence of our childhood games. It is the crafty space of theater and film, the poetic space sensitive to the scopic, a true panoptic installation of meaning whose processes of perception have been experienced by some artists of the Quattrocento with the birth of perspective and now by contemporary artists.

<p>Tema ove studije je teorijsko uobličavanje definicije disocijativnog prostora, kojim se opisuje specifično moderni odnos subjekta i prostora, odnosno koekstenzivni (ekstimni) karakter prostornosti i subjektivnosti u modernoj epohi. Analiza prostora u polju disocijativnosti sprovedena je u oblasti arhitekture i vizuelnih umetnosti, prevashodno se oslanjajući na istraživanja u oblasti filozofije, psihologije i teorijske psihoanalize.</p> / <p>The topic of this study is theoretical formation of the definition of dissociative<br />space, by which specifically modern relation between subjet and space is<br />explained, i.e. coextensive (extimate) character of spatiality and subjectivity<br />of modern epoch. Analysis of space in the field of dissociativness was made<br />within the field of architecture and visual arts, primarly relying on<br />investigations in the fields of filosophy, psychology and theoretical<br />psychoanalysis.</p>

La recherche d’espaces dépouillés est l’un des grands marqueurs de l’évolution de la scénographie au XXe siècle. De même que pour les arts plastiques, cette tension vers le vide est associée à la redéfinition des formes dans leur mutation moderne et postmoderne. Plateaux nus et espaces vides constituent deux modalités particulières de cette recherche de l’épure. Le plateau nu débarrasse la scène du décor et de son appareil illusionniste et resserre la représentation sur la présence d’un acteur et l’écoute du texte. D’abord solution pratique, rupture avec un théâtre commercial et bourgeois, le plateau nu est ancré dans une conception éthique du théâtre. Cette première partie de l’étude se fonde sur les espaces de Jacques Copeau, Jean Vilar, Antoine Vitez et Christian Schiaretti. L’espace vide, étudié à travers le travail de Peter Brook, Claude Régy, Joël Pommerat et Nacera Belaza cherche à construire un ailleurs. Cette étude propose d’étudier le succès contemporain des esthétiques scéniques du vide et du dépouillement. Aujourd’hui, le plateau nu est devenu un patrimoine, portant en lui les valeurs du théâtre public et s’associant implicitement à une célébration de ses pionniers, Jacques Copeau et Jean Vilar. L’espace vide, vu à travers les traditions orientales se charge d’une spiritualité, et est aussi perçu comme l’au-delà mental de la représentation. Espaces vides et plateaux nus, s’ils ont pu naître de contraintes économiques sont aujourd’hui devenus des espaces luxueux. / The research of concise spaces is one of the marks of the scenography evolution on the 20th century. As in the visual arts, this mouvement towards to the void is associated with a redefinition of the forms in their modern and postmodern mutations. Naked stages and empty spaces constitute two particular modalities of research of an uncluttered style. The naked stage removes the scenery and the scenic illusion from the stage to focus its representation on the actor and the text. Starting as a practical solution and rupture with commercial and bourgeois theater, the naked stage is anchored in an ethical conception of theater. This first part of this study is based on the spaces according to Jacques Copeau, Jean Vilar, Antoine Vitez and Christian Schiaretti. The empty space seeks to find new horizons, examined through the concepts of space by Peter Brook, Claude Régy, Joël Pommerat and Nacera Belaza. This study proposes to examine the contemporary success of aesthetic scenics based on void and bareness. The naked stage has become nowadays a heritage, carrying values of public theater, and being implicitly associated with a celebration of its pioneers Jacques Copeau and Jean Vilar. Seen throughout eastern traditions, the empty stage is filled with spirituality and thus becomes a mental hereafter of the representation. Initially consequence of an economical imposition, naked stages and empty spaces have become luxurious spaces nowadays.

O espetáculo estudado para a compreensão do tema é A perseguição e o assassinato de Jean-Paul Marat, representados pelo Grupo Teatral do Hospício de Charenton, sob a direção do Senhor de Sade, cujo roteiro se inspira no texto dramatúrgico de autoria de Peter Weiss. Esta pesquisa busca ainda discutir o conceito de teatralidade presente no filme de Brook, tendo como ponto inicial a questão do olhar, a partir de autores como Josette Féral, Patrice Pavis, Matteo Bonfitto, e procurando estabelecer um diálogo com facetas das ideias teatrais do próprio Brook. O estudo da linguagem cinematográfica do diretor inglês procura assim considerar a teatralidade do filme fazendo uma analogia com questões do pensamento de Antonin Artaud, que dizem respeito ao teatro como um duplo da vida, em seu Teatro da Crueldade, e com as ideias de Bertolt Brecht em seu Teatro Épico, que considera o mundo passível de transformação

I'm working with photographs of Sigmund Freud's apartment and creating their pseudo reconstruction. I'm trying through technique of linocut uncover light from black and white photos taken by documentarist Edmund Engelman in Vienna in 1938. I'm revealing volumes of individual fragments, which light falls on. Exposed light I keep for myself, for some melancholy reasons, and store it in glass jars. It is negative and final linocut represents positive. Atmosphere of pictures from Edmund Engelman's book has a big influence on me as well as Robert Longo's cycle Freud Drawings. Their atmosphere is catalyst for my own art solution.
