RISD Digital+Media Graduate Student Journal 2009
No full textThis Journal brings together papers from students from the class of 2009 as they complete their final year of the MFA graduate program in Digital+Media at the Rhode Island School of Design. A wide range of topics is covered, reflecting the inter-disciplinarity and breadth of student work in the department. The contributions are grouped along the key themes Form and Material, Digital Aesthetics, Cultural Connections, Site and Performance. They aim to communicate the specificity of the digital to a broader art and media audience, to provide a vivid documentation of the work and the process, and to situate the work in the wider art and media context, including contemporary and historic developments. This Journal is edited by Frauke Behrendt and Teri Rueb and more information about it is available at the Digital+Media website http://dm.risd.edu
Sonic Interaction Design. Catalogue of an Exhibition at Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology and Medicine
No full textSound can be one of the principal channels conveying information, meaning, and aesthetic/emotional qualities in interactive contexts. The 12 works of this exhibition showcase the use of Sonic Interaction Design within arts, music and design, and also provide examples of sonification for research and artistic purposes. This catalogue presents information about the exhibition, all featured works, the people behind them, and includes a wealth of images and illustrations. The exhibition is one of the final outcomes of a four-year EU research project, COST IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design (SID), that has been running from 2007 to 2011. The exhibition takes place at the Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology and Medicine, and opens in conjunction with NIME 2011: The International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression. It is curated by Trond Lossius and Frauke Behrendt, and produced by BEK - Bergen Center for Electronic Arts

Data underlying the publication: "Social Darwinism has moved to the cycle path": Framings of micromobility in the Dutch and British press
No full textThis dataset supports the research paper "'Social Darwinism has moved to the cycle path': Framings of micromobility in the Dutch and British press" authored by Clara Glachant and Frauke Behrendt, published at Mobilities in 2024. The aim of the paper is to uncover to what extent micromobility representations in the press – imbued in power dynamics – challenge the automobility system. We conduct a discourse analysis of the framings of micromobility in Dutch and British national newspapers, collected on a paid media database, Nexis Uni. The dataset contains: a list of the newspaper articles analyzed, the newspaper coverage per frame and a longitudinal analysis of the frames

Cars vs Bikes:Intelligent Transport in EC Policy Documents
No full textThis paper is concerned with intelligent transport and smart mobility and considers the digital cultures emerging at the intersection of The Internet of Things, datafication and transport/mobility. Specifically, the research shows the intense bias of policies in these areas towards the automobile and other motorised modes, rather than towards more active and sustainable modes such as the bicycle. For this, the paper draws on recent academic concepts to develop a conceptual framework and then present results of an empirical analysis of international policies. Increasingly only those modes of transport/mobility are ‘visible’ in the socio-economic context that have data at their heart, i.e. are smart/intelligent – underlining the significance of this research. The conceptual framework draws on three areas of research (policy is considered across). The digital/data culture element of the framework is informed by critical data studies, including Kitchen’s understanding of data ‘doing’ work in the world and Andrejevic’s work on data divides. The transport/mobility element of the framework draws on more techno-centric perspectives around ‘Intelligent Transport’ (Perallos, Hernandez-Jayo, Onieva, & Zuazola, 2016) often used in policy documents, as well as more critical ‘Smart Mobility’ (Büscher, et al. 2012) perspectives that consider political, social and embodied aspects of mobile people and societies in the digital/data age. It also builds on the ‘Smart Velomobility’ concept (Behrendt, 2016). The methodology details the compiling of the archive of 39 relevant 2014-2018 EU policy papers, including those published under the themes transport, internet of things and smart cities – as all these areas consider aspects of intelligent transport/smart mobility. It also details the key word search protocol and NVIVO approach for analysing the documents. Results analyse and compare the use of keywords across the 39 documents, plus provide a detailed analysis of four documents. Overall, smart mobility is equated with the automotive industry across documents, and cars are the most prominent example of IoT given around transport. On the rare occasion that cycling is mentioned, only shared bike schemes are noted, whereas discussions of cars include both individual and shared use. The conversation around active modes such as walking and cycling is not integrated with conversations around the IoT– while those are strongly integrated with conversations around cars. The discussion and conclusion shows that not inclusing sustainable modes of transport such as cycling in the context of smart technologies such as IoT means they lack policy visibility and are less likely to receive associated funding, underlining the significance of the findings

Why cycling matters for electric mobility: towards diverse, active and sustainable e-mobilities
No full textThis paper proposes the concept of e-velomobility. E-velomobility covers practices, systems and technologies of electrically-assisted cycling where velomobility’s pedal-power combines with e-mobility’s battery/motor assistance to propel the rider. The concept draws on research and policies around e-mobility, velomobility and e-bikes. Results of an analysis of qualitative material from a UK trial of e-bikes illustrate how e-velomobility is experienced. The empirical material and the conceptual approach show e-velomobility as a distinct and important form of mobility with implications for research agendas and e-mobility policy. E-velomobility and the more diverse understanding of e-mobility suggested in this paper could support a shift of strategies and policies towards more active and sustainable as well as less expensive modes of e-mobility than the current focus on electric cars
