Both concepts, though they originated in political and media-related discourses, stress the autonomy of representation and its close relationship with conditions of contemporary social existence as well as with the process of identity formation, the latter to a large extent informed by the total substitution of the material by the mediated.Marcin Mazurek"The Condition of Spectacle.

    Processed measurement data of acceleration of MR fluid-filled cushion gripper on UR3e robot

    The dataset is a supplement to the article that will soon be submitted for review. DESCRIPTION:The dataset consists of Absolute Orientation Sensor (BNO055) measurements during the transportation of an object by a UR3e robot. The trajectory of the robot&#39;s movement includes lifting the object to a height of about 200 mm, horizontal displacement for a distance of 400 mm, and lowering by 200 mm. The transfer procedure begins with the closing of the jaws and ends with their opening. The procedure is analogous to the one outlined in the following dataset:Białek, Marcin, 2023, &#34;Processed measurement data on grip forces during object transportation by a robot using gripper with a MR fluid-filled cushions&#34;, https://doi.org/10.18150/B2KCKC, RepOD.The experiment was conducted for three values of acceleration and velocity of the robot joints. For each such configuration, 5 handling tests were carried out.LICENSE:The data are under Creative Commons License CC BY. It is though recommended to manipulate along with the author to fully understand the outcomes.

For each object configuration, acceleration and speed, 5 trials were conducted;- TIME[s] - the measurement time at which the force was recorded;- Linear_X[m/s^2] - X axis of linear acceleration data (acceleration minus gravity)- Linear_Y[m/s^2] - Y axis of linear acceleration data (acceleration minus gravity)- Linear_Z[m/s^2] - Z axis of linear acceleration data (acceleration minus gravity)- Orient_X[deg] - X axis orientation data based on a 360° sphere- Orient_Y[deg] - Y axis orientation data based on a 360° sphere- Orient_Z[deg] - Z axis orientation data based on a 360° sphere- Accl_X[m/s^2] - X axis of acceleration (gravity &#43; linear motion)- Accl_Y[m/s^2] - Y axis of acceleration (gravity &#43; linear motion)- Accl_Z[m/s^2] - Z axis of acceleration (gravity &#43; linear motion)</p

    A New Map of the City: Between Boredom and Revolution

    No full text
    Marcin Mazurek A New Map of the City: Between Boredom and Revolution Taking Scott Fitzgerald's prophetic prediction of the urban reality informed by "racy, adventurous feel [.. .] and the constant flicker of men and women and machines" as a departure point, the article aims at analysing the problem of contemporary representation and distribution of urban space. Populated in equal measures by the human and the technological, the cityscape inevitably enforces a redefinition of the urban self, locating it at the intersection of the technological, the textual and the virtual environments and thus narrating a significant departure from the traditional approaches to urban locality in favour of the cyber ones. Traces of the latter are identifiable across a number of textual representations, from the aforementioned Fitzgerald to William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, and from Melvin Webber to Jean Baudrillard and William Mitchell. Still, somehow contrary to Mitchell's enthusiastic views of the cyber-urban future, there appears a much more sinister tone of the threats posed by the excessive development of technological consumerism, which as J. G. Ballard's book Millennium People informs us, is likely to evoke all kinds of nihilistic and self-destructive reactions.Marcin Mazurek A New Map of the City: Between Boredom and Revolution Taking Scott Fitzgerald's prophetic prediction of the urban reality informed by "racy, adventurous feel [.. .] and the constant flicker of men and women and machines" as a departure point, the article aims at analysing the problem of contemporary representation and distribution of urban space.

    Autoethnography, Storytelling, and Life as Lived: A Conversation Between Marcin Kafar and Carolyn Ellis

    Get PDF
    This conversation takes place in Warsaw. Carolyn Ellis has come to Poland to accompany Jerry Rawicki, a Warsaw Ghetto survivor, on his first trip back to Poland since the Holocaust. There she arranged to meet Marcin Kafar, a scholar in Poland who has spent time with her at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. During this visit, Marcin assists Carolyn with video recording Jerry’s experiences as they visit Holocaust sites, and Jerry remembers and reflects on his experience. Afterwards, Marcin converses with Carolyn about autoethnography, storytelling, and the importance of life in the context of searching for ethos by academics
