    L.A. Tabulae ad Astra

    No full text
    L.A.: Tabulae ad Astra (Los Angeles: Maps to the Stars) is a series of prints integrating portions of street maps of Los Angeles with gestural lines, impromptu marks from testing pen nibs, and cutting lines on boards—all unwittingly produced in the artist’s studio while working on other projects. The combined layers of intersecting and overlapping marks take on a surprising cartographic character that is reinforced by additional ancient map-like elements such as measurement grids, Latin phrases, beastiary, and scale markers. The resultant prints are also physically connected to the Los Angeles landscape, being printed on paper that was first soaked and stained in the waters of the L.A. River. Together Tabulae ad Astra plays on the constant tensions of control vs. freedom, order vs. complexity, safety vs. adventure, and city vs. wilderness.

    Associations between perceived neighbourhood problems and quality of life in older adults with and without osteoarthritis: results from the Hertfordshire Cohort Study

    No full text
    This study examined whether the association of quality of life (QoL) with perceived neighbourhood problems is stronger in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) than in those without OA. Of all 294 participants, 23.8% had OA. More perceived neighbourhood problems were associated with a stronger decrease in QoL over time in participants with OA (B=-0.018; p=0.02) than in those without OA (B=-0.004; p=0.39). Physical activity did not mediate this relationship. Older adults with OA may be less able to deal with more challenging environments

The author gives an objective and honest analysis of black-Korean relations despite racial, economic, and political biases.

    The Interchangeable Roles of Music and Technology in Computer-Supported Education

    No full text
    Scientific literature has frequently focused on the contribution offered by technology to support music education at various levels. A less investigated subject is the possibility of using multimedia and musical languages to encourage the acquisition of digital competences. In this vision, the roles of mediator and disciplinary goal– which in the context of computer-supported education are traditionally assigned to technology and music, respectively – are reversed. These concepts will be exemplified through applications which explore the relationship between music and technology from a new point of view, merging the two fields and making traditional roles more nuanced, thus encouraging the development of higher-order thinking skills. This paper summarizes the keynote lecture held by the author at the 4th International Conference on New Music Concepts – ICNMC 2017
