Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
The Oracle Machine
Full text linkThe Oracle Machine is a research project and a work of art which focuses on decision making mechanisms in contemporary urban and globalised societies. The hypothesis is that there is a specific condition in post-industrial civilized territories, which can be described as lack of will, 'relapsing choice', or 'decision syndrome'. If on one side the globalised and technological world offers variety, fast communication and remote presence, on the other it weakens the relation between humans and natural environment, soothes instincts and induces disorientation, but also fragments identity in the continuous redefinition of perception and the conception of space and time. Lacan's definition of anxiety, described as the affect whose object is unknown, intersects with Heisenberg's 'Uncertainty Principle' (Heisenberg, 1925), which affirms there are no states in which a particle has both a define position and a definite momentum. When the condition of undecidability and that of anxiety are manifest, the unknown object can be interpreted as the very Self, objectified and dissipated in a number of concomitant possibilities

Nebulullaby. An Interstellar Cloud of Dust
No full textA compilation that takes the lullaby genre into the realm of experimental electronic music, assembled from an open call for experimental lullabies launched in May 2014.
The compilation includes tracks by well-known artists as well as first releases, with material on vinyl from d.R.e.G.S, 0xA, xname, Erich Barganier and Samuel Hertz and an expanded digital edition containing tracks from Thor Magnusson, Robert B. Lisek, Repl Electric, Claude Heiland-Allen, Marta Zapparoli and more hand-picked gems from the experimental techno, noise and electroacoustic scenes.
The record guides the listener through eerily echoed music boxes to experiments in a syncopated 8-bit berceuse, with detours into clean planes of glassy textures, dives into opaque amniotic drones and concentrated, tender yet ominous moments, such as the sound of beating hearts against saturated, distant washes of feedback. Composed for Nintendo, Atari, Pure Data, Supercollider, D-Box, tape recorders, as well as ultraStethoscopes or using radioactive materials, these recordings treat the lullaby genre as an example of consciousness-altering music
Playing with the electromagnetic field as a musical instrument
No full textREBUS is a digital compositional tool and interactive system which radically innovates the 100 years old Theremin technique, generating an electromagnetic field that forms an immaterial interface which can be manipulated by the movement of the hands and the body. It is part of a wider research exploring electromagnetic sensing systems for expressive interaction in electronic music, performance, and time-based media art.
Originally developed by Eleonora Oreggia as an interdisciplinary PhD at the Antennas & Electromagnetics Group and the Centre for Digital Music funded by Queen Mary University of London and the EPSRC, the instrument is currently the focus of the Electromagnetic Interaction research supported by the Early Career Research Fund at Department of Computing and Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.
In 2023 REBUS has been the subject of a short residency and a public talk at the Intelligent Instruments Lab in Reykjavík
