Intervista a Emanuela De Cecco
No full textAll’interno della riflessione proposta in questo numero monografico della rivista “Ricerche di
S/Confine” sulle pratiche che interrogano il reale a partire da uno sguardo “politico”, si è voluta
proporre un’intervista a Emanuela De Cecco, critica d’arte e docente di Storia dell'arte contemporanea
e Cultura Visuale presso la Facoltà di Design e Arti dell'Università di Bolzano. Tra i suoi diversi saggi
si segnalano: Zingonia: arte integrazione multiculture (ed. De Cecco 2001), Contemporanee. Percorsi
e poetiche delle artiste dagli anni Ottanta ad oggi (ed. De Cecco & Romano 2002), Arte-mondo, storia
dell'arte, storie dell'arte (ed. De Cecco 2010) e il recentissimo Non volendo aggiungere altre cose al
mondo. Politiche dell'arte nella sfera pubblica (De Cecco 2016). In particolare quest’ultimo volume
propone una serie di scritti - recensioni, saggi, contributi in cataloghi, articoli - pubblicati dal 1996 al
2015 capaci di restituire uno spaccato dell’arte degli ultimi vent’anni, a partire da un confronto diretto
con gli artisti - ad esempio Cesare Viel, Liliana Moro, Eva Marisaldi, Roberto Cuoghi, Adrian Paci per
citarne solo alcuni - e da un costante interrogarsi su questioni fondamentali e tuttora attuali del
dibattito, quali le azioni nella sfera pubblica, il rapporto tra esperienza personale e sentire collettivo, le
dinamiche sottese ai sistemi espositivi.This monographic issue of “Ricerche di S/Confine” proposes a reflection around those practices that
investigate reality from a "political" point of view, and in this context we’ve decided to propose an
interview with Emanuela De Cecco, art critics and professor of contemporary art history and visual
culture at the University of Bolzano Faculty of Arts and Design. Her books include Zingonia: arte
integrazione multiculture (ed. De Cecco 2001), Contemporanee. Percorsi e poetiche delle artiste dagli
anni Ottanta ad oggi (ed. De Cecco & Romano 2002), Arte-mondo, storia dell'arte, storie dell'arte (ed.
De Cecco 2010) and the recent Non volendo aggiungere altre cose al mondo. Politiche dell'arte nella
sfera pubblica (De Cecco 2016). This volume in particular contains a series of writings - reviews,
essays, catalogues contribution, articles - published from 1996 until 2015, which are particularly useful
to represent a cross section of the art practices from the last twenty years, moving from a direct
confrontation with the artists - we can mention for example Cesare Viel, Liliana Moro, Eva Marisaldi,
Roberto Cuoghi, Adrian Paci - and from a constant questioning of the fundamental - and still
particularly actual - issues of the critical debate, such as the role of the actions in the public sphere,
the relationship between the personal experience and the collective dimension, the dynamics
underlying the exhibition and display systems

Mapping Spatial Patterns of Posidonia oceanica Meadows by Means of Daedalus ATM Airborne Sensor in the Coastal Area of Civitavecchia (Central Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
No full textThe spatial distribution of sea bed covers and seagrass in coastal waters is of key importance in monitoring and managing Mediterranean shallow water environments often subject to both increasing anthropogenic impacts and climate change effects. In this context we present a methodology for effective monitoring and mapping of Posidonia oceanica (PO) meadows in turbid waters using remote sensing techniques tested by means of LAI (Leaf Area Index) point sea truth measurements. Preliminary results using Daedalus airborne sensor are reported referring to the PO meadows at Civitavecchia site (central Tyrrhenian sea) where vessel traffic due to presence of important harbors and huge power plant represent strong impact factors. This coastal area, 100 km far from Rome (Central Italy), is characterized also by significant hydrodynamic variations and other anthropogenic factors that affect the health of seagrass meadows with frequent turbidity and suspended sediments in the water column. During 2011-2012 years point measurements of several parameters related to PO meadows phenology were acquired on various stations distributed along 20 km of coast between the Civitavecchia and S. Marinella sites. The Daedalus airborne sensor multispectral data were preprocessed with the support of satellite (MERIS) derived water quality parameters to obtain here improved thematic maps of the local PO distribution. Their thematic accuracy was then evaluated as agreement (R2) with the point sea truth measurements and regressive modeling using an on purpose developd method. © 2013 by the authors
Numerical and Experimental Characterization of Wrist-Fingers Communication Link for RFID-based Finger Augmented Devices
No full textRadiofrequency-Identification Finger-Augmented Devices (R-FAD) identify a particular wearable technology suitable to turn the human fingers into enhanced sensing surfaces to restore lost senses in impaired people as well as to augment the existing ones. The communication channel of R-FAD, involving a reader’s antenna placed onto the wrist and tag antennas stuck onto the fingers, is here characterized in the UHF RFID band by means of both numerical simulations, accounting for several options of the system, and an experimental campaign with volunteers asked to reproduce natural gestures of the hands. The study identifies the most appropriate placement of the devices and, above all, it quantifies the robustness of the link against the human variability. The channel follows a Lognormal Cumulative probability law indicating that the minimum required power to establish a reliable RFID link is 18-27 dBm depending on the chip sensitivity. Measurements finally revealed a remarkable correlation of the minimum required power from the reader with the volume of the hand
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
