Introducing Suzy Lake
No full text"Introducing Suzy Lake is the first publication to comprehensively address Detroit-born artist, Suzy Lake’s extraordinary artistic production from the late 1960s to today.Lake—an intelligent and influential artist working in performance, photography and video—is a prescient image-maker who interrogates ideas of beauty, ageing and the self. This multi-author publication considers how Lake’s ideas and practice developed over time from her hometown of Detroit to Montreal to Toronto, informed by the cultural character of each city." -- p.

Creation archives to show: exhibition on Suzy Lee’s literary project
No full textO presente escrito objetiva refletir sobre o fazer artístico de Suzy Lee. A autora sul-coreana, de prestígio internacional na área da Literatura Infantil e Juvenil com suas publicações em narrativas pictóricas, é uma book artist e incentivadora constante de discussões acerca do objeto livro. No contexto de tal atividade criativa e crítica, propomos uma breve reflexão sobre as práticas comunicativas de Lee tomando como base o pensamento em processo de Cecilia Almeida Salles, na especificidade que envolve os arquivos de criação (2010, 2017). Ao expor índices de pensamento em criação por meio de falas, palestras, entrevistas, eventos, publicações em seu blog pessoal e, mesmo, em seu ensaio teórico sobre livros-imagem (2012), Suzy Lee nos fornece uma mostragem das camadas armazenadas e constituintes de seu projeto poético.This essay aims to reflect on Suzy Lee\u27s artistic production. The South Korean author, of international prestige in the field of children and young adults literature with her publications in pictorial narratives, is a book artist who is also constantly stimulating discussions about the book as an art object. In the context of such creative and critical activity, we propose a brief reflection on Lee\u27s communicative practices based on Cecilia Almeida Salles\u27 thoughts, in the specificity that surrounds the creation archives (2010, 2017). By exposing her thought-of-creation indexed through speeches, lectures, interviews, events, publications in her personal blog, and even in her theoretical essay on picture-books (2012), Suzy Lee gives us a sample of the stored and constituents layers of her poetics project

PEBBLES: Perceptual Experience Battery - BaseLine Experiment Screener
No full textThe PEBBLES is a simple questionnaire that allows people to describe their sensory experience of the world in a standardized way, including any current prescriptions or devices they use day-to-day. The questionnaire was developed at the Brain, Language and Intersensory Perception Lab (BLIP Lab) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore in 2017, for use in a variety of studies on multisensory perception and links between the senses.
The PEBBLES includes simple questions about people's eyesight, hearing, and other senses. The whole tool can be used as a descriptive tool (e.g., to characterize the group of participants who took part in a study according to their self report), or different subscales can be used as a screener (e.g., to check whether participants can participate in a given study on the basis of their eyesight or hearing). The tool was first developed in 2016. A major revision was carried out in 2018, to reduce ambiguities in some of the questions, simplify the survey flow, and to make the layout more accessible for people with weaker vision. All versions are archived here.

Sci-comms project manual for open access infographics with Prof Primate
No full textSo, your prof has decided on a science communication project that combines images and text in the form of an infographic.
This manual is designed to help you get started on creating an Infographic for a class science communications project that will become an open access educational resource. The manual contains general sci-comms guidance, instructions for how to author and license your new open access work, as well as information about image rights and referencing, and a design guide. The design guide provides pointers to help you to combine text and images in ways that are interesting without being overwhelming for your audience.
The manual was first created by Prof Primate for students of ‘An Ape’s Guide to Human Language,’ a second-year course in Psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. In our class, everyone is randomly allocated a primate as their target species for individualized project work. This means everyone in the class helps to build up our collective knowledge about primates, to be shared in a Festival at the end of semester. At the end of the manual are additional instructions for the Sci-Comms Project for An Ape’s Guide to Human Language in S2 of 2021, NTU Singapore. Prof Primate hopes this manual will be useful for students of all subjects, and may inspire more Profs to incorporate Open Access Comms projects (Sci-Comms, Ling-Comms etc) into their assessable work
Green Grass Park (Mandarin Chinese) - A SESAME Research Tool
No full textIn the domain of speech elicitation, it is well understood that participants speak differently when producing different kinds of speech. In particular, speakers tend to use more ‘standard’ pronunciations when reading individual words in isolation, as compared to reading words within the context of a sentence, or talking freely off-the-cuff (Labov, 1966). When speakers have a complex task to achieve (e.g., describing everything they can see in a complex picture, speakers typically monitor their speech less, and default to more informal speech styles. We designed a picture description task called Green Grass Park to elicit a small sample of naturalistic speech. Along with other SESAME Research Tools, the Green Grass Park task was designed with multilingualism in mind.
This version of the task has been created for the Singaporean variety of Mandarin Chinese. It was designed to elicit the /y/ vowel and a targeted sibilant contrast

Cartographie et analyse factorielle : le bassin de Seraing entre 1866 et 1910
No full textSuzy Pasleau. Cartography and factorial analysis : the Seraing area between 1866 and 1910.
The aim of this paper is to compare the teachings of cartography with those of factorial analysis for the delimitation of a geographical region, through of a case-study : the Seraing area between 1866 and 1910. After having tested the best possible scale and the most pertinent indicators, the author makes a detailed presentation of the different stages of the two processes. In both cases, the analysis bear on data for the period 1866-1910, which gives the opportunity to focus on two specific images of the area. This study end with a questioning of the economic development of the Seraing area, suggested by the results.Suzy Pasleau. Cartographie et analyse factorielle : le bassin de Seraing entre 1866 et 1910.
L'objectif de cet article est de comparer les apports de la cartographie et de l'analyse factorielle dans la délimitation d'une zone géographique. Après avoir étudié les problèmes de la meilleure échelle à adopter et des indicateurs les plus pertinents, l'auteur présente en détail les différentes étapes de ces deux démarches. Dans les deux cas, les analyses portent sur les données de 1866 et de 1910 qui permettent de donner deux images particulières de la région. Une interrogation sur le développement économique du bassin de Seraing suggérée par ces résultats conclue l'étude.Pasleau Suzy.
