No full textI was driving around to East Point when I noticed an Indigenous man spear fishing just off shore from the B.B.Q. area. When Bluey (Dimiliny Burarrwanga), (which I found out later was his name) first noticed me he was totally surprised and immediately suspicious about what I wanted him for, but after a short discussion in which I explained that I was making images for the Northern Territory Library's collection, Bluey agreed to allow me to make some images as he hunted for string ray. With in ten minutes Bluey had a small ray on the end of his spear, mission accomplished. We both made our way back to shore where Bluey's family where waiting quietly for him under the she oaks. I was introduced to everyone and spent the rest of the afternoon talking, eating, and making images with the other members of the family.Clark, Darren.Date:2012-0

Dropper’s – Andy Webster & Darren Ray OSR Projects Lobster Trap Commission 2016
No full textIn 1965 Gene Bernofsky, Jo Ann Bernofsky and Clark Richet, art graduates of the University of Kansas desired to live and work together free from the hierarchies and restrictions of mainstream life. On a piece of wasteland near Trinidad, Colorado they built an experimental settlement named ‘Drop City' with the aim being for the site to be an environmental research centre, a collaborative space for artists, inventors, free‐thinkers and collectives who wished to celebrate creative experimentation. This group of people who became known as ‘Droppers’, established a non-hierarchical community, openly sharing ideas, collectively living and working together and this was seen as the goal and potential of counter cultural attitudes of the time, a kind of socialist psychedelica. 50 years on do the Droppers thoughts and ideals still have relevance? What might the practice of the ‘psychedelic socialism’ mean or offer us today? In what ways might we still be looking for the this kind of life - might it produce alternative modes of living often suppressed by immanent capitalism? Collaborative artist’s Andy Webster and Darren Ray propose to explore these questions in their project ‘Dropper’s.
A prospective examination of Beck’s cognitive theory of depression in university students in mainland China
No full textThe current multi-wave longitudinal study examined the applicability of Beck’s (1967, 1983) cognitive theory of depression to university students in mainland China. During an initial assessment, participants completed measures assessing dysfunctional attitudes and depressive/anxious symptoms. Participants subsequently completed measures assessing negative events and depressive/anxious symptoms once a month for six months. Results provided support for the applicability of Beck’s cognitive theory to university students in mainland China. More specifically, higher levels of dysfunctional attitudes were associated with greater increases in depressive symptoms following the occurrence of negative events. At the same time, contrary to findings obtained in Western samples, higher levels of dysfunctional attitudes were also associated with greater increases in anxious symptoms following the occurrence of negative events. These findings may suggest that dysfunctional attitudes exhibit non-specificity as a predictor of depressive symptoms in mainland China.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Darren Stolo
Arlene's Solar Furnace - Andy Webster & Darren Ray, 2015
No full textIn 2008, Arlene built a Solar Furnace, a structure that uses concentrated solar energy to produce high temperatures, to heat her farm in Pennsylvania, USA. Ray and Webster are fascinated by the ad-hoc approaches found in DIY, hobbyist activities in particular the kind epitomised by Arlene's project which measuring 24ft by 8ft her project was pretty incredible. Arlene's construction of the furnace, the use of regular non-specialist materials, and her matter of fact description of the project uploaded online inspired Ray & Webster to explore the approaches behind the furnaces construction. They replicated Arlene's project working as closely to as possible to the original specifications of the furnace (although perhaps in keeping with the approach of the original they improvised many of the construction processes and materials used). The project was installed as part of Goonhilly Village Green, Goohnilly, Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, UK, 2015

Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky
No full textDiplomsko delo obravnava film Črni labod/Black Swan. Razčlenjuje mišljenje in delovanje glavnega filmskega lika in posledično splošno razumevanje človeka samega. Skozi film Črni labod sem iskal razlage o razvoju človekove osebnosti in jih s pomočjo teorij Sigmunda Freuda in Abrahama Maslowa razčlenil v razlagah filma po sekvencah. Vpliv družbe na posameznika je pomemben motiv v filmu, ki ga v nalogi razširjam s slogovnim zgodovinskim obdobjem dadaizma in predvsem nadrealizma in z razčlenjevanjem motiva laboda v književnosti in filmu. S tem pa poskušam pojasniti polje nezavednega, ki ga še vedno označujejo za bistveni del razlage osebnosti.
Človeška osebnost se oblikuje predvsem v obdobju odraščanja, zato sem se v nalogi najbolj posvetil temi razvoja iz otroka v odraslo osebo, ki jo razvija tudi režiser filma Darren Aronofsky.This thesis focusses on the film Black Swan. It deconstructs the thoughts and actions of the protagonist and through this, forms a possible understanding of the human being itself. Throughout the film the author has searched for the explanations of personal development, which he then analyses through Sigmund Freud\u27s and Abraham Maslow\u27s theories. Social influences upon an individual are an important motive in the filmin the thesis, this is examined through the lens of dadaism and surrealism and with the analysis of the swan motive in literature and in film. With this the author attempts to explain the field of subconscious, which is still perceived as a vital part of any explanation of personality.
The largest part of human personality is formed in the period of puberty, which is why the author has focused most of his attention upon the motive of a child growing into an adult, which is also the theme that the director Darren Aronofsky develops
