Intervista a Emanuela De Cecco
No full textAll’interno della riflessione proposta in questo numero monografico della rivista “Ricerche di
S/Confine” sulle pratiche che interrogano il reale a partire da uno sguardo “politico”, si è voluta
proporre un’intervista a Emanuela De Cecco, critica d’arte e docente di Storia dell'arte contemporanea
e Cultura Visuale presso la Facoltà di Design e Arti dell'Università di Bolzano. Tra i suoi diversi saggi
si segnalano: Zingonia: arte integrazione multiculture (ed. De Cecco 2001), Contemporanee. Percorsi
e poetiche delle artiste dagli anni Ottanta ad oggi (ed. De Cecco & Romano 2002), Arte-mondo, storia
dell'arte, storie dell'arte (ed. De Cecco 2010) e il recentissimo Non volendo aggiungere altre cose al
mondo. Politiche dell'arte nella sfera pubblica (De Cecco 2016). In particolare quest’ultimo volume
propone una serie di scritti - recensioni, saggi, contributi in cataloghi, articoli - pubblicati dal 1996 al
2015 capaci di restituire uno spaccato dell’arte degli ultimi vent’anni, a partire da un confronto diretto
con gli artisti - ad esempio Cesare Viel, Liliana Moro, Eva Marisaldi, Roberto Cuoghi, Adrian Paci per
citarne solo alcuni - e da un costante interrogarsi su questioni fondamentali e tuttora attuali del
dibattito, quali le azioni nella sfera pubblica, il rapporto tra esperienza personale e sentire collettivo, le
dinamiche sottese ai sistemi espositivi.This monographic issue of “Ricerche di S/Confine” proposes a reflection around those practices that
investigate reality from a "political" point of view, and in this context we’ve decided to propose an
interview with Emanuela De Cecco, art critics and professor of contemporary art history and visual
culture at the University of Bolzano Faculty of Arts and Design. Her books include Zingonia: arte
integrazione multiculture (ed. De Cecco 2001), Contemporanee. Percorsi e poetiche delle artiste dagli
anni Ottanta ad oggi (ed. De Cecco & Romano 2002), Arte-mondo, storia dell'arte, storie dell'arte (ed.
De Cecco 2010) and the recent Non volendo aggiungere altre cose al mondo. Politiche dell'arte nella
sfera pubblica (De Cecco 2016). This volume in particular contains a series of writings - reviews,
essays, catalogues contribution, articles - published from 1996 until 2015, which are particularly useful
to represent a cross section of the art practices from the last twenty years, moving from a direct
confrontation with the artists - we can mention for example Cesare Viel, Liliana Moro, Eva Marisaldi,
Roberto Cuoghi, Adrian Paci - and from a constant questioning of the fundamental - and still
particularly actual - issues of the critical debate, such as the role of the actions in the public sphere,
the relationship between the personal experience and the collective dimension, the dynamics
underlying the exhibition and display systems

Mapping Spatial Patterns of Posidonia oceanica Meadows by Means of Daedalus ATM Airborne Sensor in the Coastal Area of Civitavecchia (Central Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
No full textThe spatial distribution of sea bed covers and seagrass in coastal waters is of key importance in monitoring and managing Mediterranean shallow water environments often subject to both increasing anthropogenic impacts and climate change effects. In this context we present a methodology for effective monitoring and mapping of Posidonia oceanica (PO) meadows in turbid waters using remote sensing techniques tested by means of LAI (Leaf Area Index) point sea truth measurements. Preliminary results using Daedalus airborne sensor are reported referring to the PO meadows at Civitavecchia site (central Tyrrhenian sea) where vessel traffic due to presence of important harbors and huge power plant represent strong impact factors. This coastal area, 100 km far from Rome (Central Italy), is characterized also by significant hydrodynamic variations and other anthropogenic factors that affect the health of seagrass meadows with frequent turbidity and suspended sediments in the water column. During 2011-2012 years point measurements of several parameters related to PO meadows phenology were acquired on various stations distributed along 20 km of coast between the Civitavecchia and S. Marinella sites. The Daedalus airborne sensor multispectral data were preprocessed with the support of satellite (MERIS) derived water quality parameters to obtain here improved thematic maps of the local PO distribution. Their thematic accuracy was then evaluated as agreement (R2) with the point sea truth measurements and regressive modeling using an on purpose developd method. © 2013 by the authors

Cecco vs. Dante: Correcting the Comedy with Applied Astrology
No full textCecco d'Ascoli (1269?-1327), was burned at the stake in Florence as a heretic on 16 September, 1327. The Inquisitor also set aflame his texts: a Latin textbook on astronomy and Acerba, a 4867 verse "scientific epic" written in his particular Italian vernacular. The Inquisitor also banned the possession of either text on pain of excommunication. Despite the ban, the texts survived and even flourished. However, Acerba never engaged the public to the extent that the tragedy suffered by the text's author has. For almost seven hundred years, this "anti-Comedy" has gone largely uninterrupted due to the difficulty of the language, an enigmatic hybrid of several vernaculars, and due to the difficulty of the content, technical medieval science written in verse by an author habituated to syncopating his arguments for a university audience familiar with the material. In this dissertation, I provide a reading of the two most difficult chapters, Acerba I.i and I.ii, where Cecco sets forth his system of "applied astrology" that serves as a General Unifying Theorem to explain all phenomena in the cosmos.
In Acerba, Cecco presents a cosmos bound tightly together by principles of interactions that I term "applied astrology", his Grand Unifying Theorem that unites God, angels and humanity. Just as twentieth and now twenty-first century physics tries to find a "Theory of Everything" that can account for both quantum mechanics and general relativity, theories that seem mutually exclusive, Cecco's intellectual goal was to unite a theory of causative astral influences and independent human intellects. The crux of the problem is this: if we believe that astral influences alter earthly life, how can we claim that we, as humans, are independent agents? Cecco wants to account for astral influences, which he sees as a link between man and God, and save free will, and this forms the base of his ethical theories expounded throughout Acerba but especially in Acerba I.i and I.ii. These chapters are thus key to understanding the entire work.
To arrive at an understanding Acerba requires a summation of Cecco's life, an understanding of the intellectual and cultural stakes in his work and a thorough knowledge of his scholastic commentaries in Latin. These, written specifically to make medieval astronomy comprehensible to fourteenth-century undergraduates, are a clear prose exposition of the same "system of everything" that he sets out in Acerba. Before I approach the poem, I will review the content of his Latin prose. Once the basic features of his applied-astrological system are understood, we will then be in a position to understand this notoriously difficult text and examine the merits of Cecco's solution to the problem of free will and material determinism
Numerical and Experimental Characterization of Wrist-Fingers Communication Link for RFID-based Finger Augmented Devices
No full textRadiofrequency-Identification Finger-Augmented Devices (R-FAD) identify a particular wearable technology suitable to turn the human fingers into enhanced sensing surfaces to restore lost senses in impaired people as well as to augment the existing ones. The communication channel of R-FAD, involving a reader’s antenna placed onto the wrist and tag antennas stuck onto the fingers, is here characterized in the UHF RFID band by means of both numerical simulations, accounting for several options of the system, and an experimental campaign with volunteers asked to reproduce natural gestures of the hands. The study identifies the most appropriate placement of the devices and, above all, it quantifies the robustness of the link against the human variability. The channel follows a Lognormal Cumulative probability law indicating that the minimum required power to establish a reliable RFID link is 18-27 dBm depending on the chip sensitivity. Measurements finally revealed a remarkable correlation of the minimum required power from the reader with the volume of the hand
