Chapter - Putting Ourselves in the Picture
No full textThis submission is based on my involvement with the three centred AHRC funded project 'Putting Ourselves in the Picture'. I was Mentor for Scottish group of pioneering project was led by Prof. Anna Fox. The project was funded by an EDI Engagement Fellowship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of UKRI (AHRC).
The project supported a community of marginalized women and non-binary people in collaboration with five organisations recognised for their influential endeavours: Autograph (London, Impressions (Bradford) and the National Galleries of Scotland.
Through a series of innovative workshops and mentorship activities organised by the partners this project has developed the skills, knowledge of photography and confidences of the participants. The resulting outputs are set to educate us all by increasing awareness of women’s unheard life stories using photography as a tool of empowerment and as a story-telling practice.
Over a six-month period, we in Edinburgh worked directly with a small group of West African women, now settled around North Edinburgh using photography to explore their physical, mental, and spiritual journeys that form each of their personal stories.

Racing Green
No full textRacing Green is the story of how motorsport science has become smarter and more environmentally friendly, and how these developments on the track are changing the world.
Motor racing is one of the world's most watched sports. In the United States alone, NASCAR has over 75 million fans and counting. It's also the most scientifically demanding sport on Earth, requiring a combination of peak physical and mental skill, world-class engineers and a constant drive for technological innovation.
Racing Green explores the science that has been translated from racing to the road, from the early 19th century through to innovations such as electric cars and autonomous vehicles. The history of motor racing, both its glories and its tragedies, led to some of the most important modern developments we see in car design today. Just as the heartbreaking death of Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona 500 led NASCAR to introduce a new raceway barrier method, ideas pioneered during races – such as crush zones to crash helmets – have been incorporated into race car and track designs around the world. Cleaner technologies first trialed and improved in modern racing are also shaping our communities beyond the track, from the hidden aerodynamics in everything from your grocery aisle to Apple's new $5 billion headquarters to a Porsche made from flax and tires made from dandelions.
Through exclusive interviews with NASCAR's Research and Development Center, Formula 1 insiders, engineers, scientists and drivers, lifelong motorsport fan Kit Chapman goes behind the scenes of the current breakthroughs to show where motorsport is likely to take us in the future, picking up extraordinary tales along the way, such as the Ohio State University's experimental electric car, the Buckeye Bullet, which broke the electric land speed record on the salt flats in Utah, hitting an astounding 340 mph, and the untold story of how motorsport used its unparalleled mechanical expertise to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Racing Green is a mix of travelogue and historical retrospective, combining visits to the experts and discussing the science with retellings of real-life incidents that represent milestones in shaping the modern world
A Comparison of Immersive and Non-immersive VR for the Education of Filmmaking
Get PDFNowadays, both IVR (Immersive VR) and NIVR (Non-immersive VR) have already been adopted by filmmakers and used in the education of filmmaking, but few studies have shown their differences in supporting learning. This article aims to compare these two forms of technology as educational tools for learning filmmaking and give suggestions on how to choose between them. Two applications with the same purpose and content were developed using IVR and NIVR technologies respectively. An experiment of within subject design was implemented using these two versions as experimental material. 39 subjects participated in experiment and the quantitative measures include presence, motivation and usability. SPSS was used for data analysis and the statistical results, together with interview reports showed that both technologies led to positive learning experience while IVR had better performance in the presence (especially in the “sensory & realism” and “involvement” subscales) and intrinsic motivation (especially in the “enjoyment” subscale) while NIVR was more accessible to the public and may provide more complex and powerful functions with sophisticated GUI. In conclusion, both technologies are capable of supporting the learning of filmmaking effectively when chosen for proper educational missions

circling, tumbling, dancing around: Back pieces.
Get PDFThis article consists of six text–image pieces that share practical research into modes of moving, perceiving and thinking through the back and extended notions of dorsality. Since 2019, through workshops, studio residencies, presentations and collaborative moving, conversational, drawing and writing practices, I have been developing physical exercises and choreographic devices for tuning into the back, bringing attention to and exploring the unseen surfaces and axial technologies of the back. These dorsal practices are evolving through movement and sensory research as well as opening a wider set of philosophical concepts and possibilities for orientating in and co-habiting a world amongst other bodies and things. The pieces combine short
written texts, sidenotes and images. The texts have evolved from sensory observation in practical movement tasks and conversations, in the form of notes and recordings, often working in a dynamic process between embodied experience, memory and imagination. The footnotes are a playful device for allowing other peripheral ideas such as light, moth, vestibular labyrinth, tree, tracing paper, ghost, voice, front-crawling to enter and generate gaps for the reader in which to linger, skip, skim, imagine, (re)connect. The still images, diagrams and drawings are another way of taking note, testing, proposing, articulating and reading
