Planning in Brazil, India and Germany
No full textPlanning is a fundamental cognitive ability that helps in organizing and structuring events unfolding in a person\u27s daily life. Two studies are presented that analyze planning behavior in different cultures: Brazil, India, and Germany. The first is a cross-cultural psychological study in which students develop plans for uncertain problem scenarios. The second study follows a cultural psychological tradition. Workers from different domains are interviewed about their life problems and plans. The strengths and the weaknesses of both approaches become obvious in the description and discussion of these two studies. The cross-cultural study sheds light on cross-cultural similarities and differences in planning in Brazil, India, and Germany. The cultural psychological approach yields data regarding a theoretical model on the specific cultural influences on planning
Autopan Max Patch: Automated Audio Panning for performance spaces
No full textREAD ME FIRST:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- The alps-autopan Max patch has been developed together with the Acoustic Localisation Positioning System ALPS, and the al-Qt software in particular. Source code and binaries for macOS 11 can be found in the latest release from https://github.com/spatmus/alps
- The alps_autopan.app is a Max 8 Standalone application for macOS, and should work "out of the box" for macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) to 11.5.2 (BigSur): You don't need to have Max installed on your computer.
- As a Max standalone, not all "inner workings" can be explored in detail. For a more in-depth understanding of the workings of the patch, we thus recommend to download the patch and run it in Max.
- PLEASE NOTE! To use alps_autopan.maxpat you need to download all other patches too, and save them to the same folder. (Or somewhere in your Max distribution's search path.) Otherwise it will fail and ask for the missing files/patches
- The files have been created in Max7 and tested on Max8, but not on any older versions.

Decision Making in Individualistic and Collectivistic Cultures
No full textHow do cultural values influence individuals\u27 decision making? One would expect answers to this question either from cognitive psychology or from cross-cultural psychology. Cognitive theories on decision making, however, rarely consider the factor of culture, and research in cross-cultural psychology deals only to a small extent with decision making. Therefore the study of culture and decision making is a relatively new and unexplored field. In this paper normative and descriptive approaches to decision making are discussed and three cross-cultural studies on decision making in individualistic and collectivist cultures using different methodologies are described. The results are integrated into a model that can be helpful to derive specific hypotheses for further studies in this field
Dominik Tatarka - wędrowiec
No full textDominik Tatarka is one of the Slovak travel books’s author; he wrotes reports Clovek na cestach. The travelling was important factor of his life: he find an inspiration for his writting and he formulated his life’s philosophy during his journeys. The travelling is one of the important key for reading all his compositions and for understanding his otlook on life: the author presents himself no as the postmodern nomad, but as the pilgrim, who wanders for aim „to unit splits world” and to find a man

Leluhelikvartetti - a hommage à Stockhausen
No full textLeluhelikvartetti (Toy Helicopter Quartet)
Leluhelikvartetti is an homage to Karlheinz Stockhausen's concept of the Helikopter- Streichquartett, wherein the players of a string quartet are placed in a helicopter each, together with a pilot and a broadcasting engineer equipped with a camera. The sound and images of the quartet are broadcast to a nearby concert venue, where the audience can hear the instruments' sound mix with the sound of the helicopters outside and watch the musicians perform on giant screens.
Leluhelikvartetti uses, due to funding cuts in academia throughout Europe, toy helicopters. As the toy helicopters don't accommodate much personnel, some trickery is needed, whereby the individual instruments' sound will seemingly, as per magic*, come from the helicopters flying around the performance space.
The Free Improvisation String Quartet, (FISQ, Hermanni Yli-Tepsa: Violin, Dominik Schlienger: Viola, Sergio Castrillon: Cello; Timo Pyhälä: Bass), in a further protest against any rules and regulations, will not adhere to any form of score, but will happily take cues and inspiration from the flight of the toy 'copters, in a audio-kinaesthetic conversation with the pilots.
The sound of the helicopter blades mixes with the sound of the actual instruments, the trajectories of the players through the performance space intermingle with the public, the flight of the helicopters respond to the musical dynamic. "
*The magic
------------
The performance space shall be a circular area of approx. 12 m diameter, wherein 4 toy quadcopters of type WLToys V262 are flown by 4 pilots, moving around freely. The audience surrounds this area. The players of FISQ are set-up somewhere at some distance from the performance area. Their instruments are close-miked, so that each instrument is available as one mono channel to the sound system at the centre of the performance space.
In the centre of the performance space stand 8 near coincident radially outwards facing loudspeakers of type Genelec 1029 or similar.
The loudspeakers send an acoustic measurement signal just above the frequency range audible to the human ear. (18 - 30 kHz)
The four toy helicopters are equipped with wireless microphones: Using time difference of arrival measurements by correlating the original signal on the loudspeakers with the measured signal on the helicopters, the positions in relation to the loudspeakers can be estimated.
The positions are then used to apply amplitude panning to the signal from the quartet's instruments, thus spatialising the quartet's sound as if each instrument was playing from one of the helicopters. (That is, for an audience surrounding the performance space.)
Further, the musicians of FISQ are also equipped with wireless audio senders, allowing them to move around freely during the performance.
The multiple layers of audio (Direct sound from the quartet; amplified sound through the loudspeaker array; the sound of the the helicopters) and the layers of movement (the helicopters trajectories; the musicians trajectories through the audience) create a densely woven spatial narrative.
The performance was recorded at the Klingt Gut! International Symposium on Sound in Hamburg, Germany in 2016
How Do We Experience Digital Arts? An Exploration through Latour’s Modes of Existence
No full textAccording to Bruno Latour the technical, despite being everything, is mostly experienced through its failure. If we take him by his word, what is it then that we experience when we speak of “digital art”? How does this bear on conceptualizations of technologies? In addition to the technical, the fictional mode and the mode of reference help to understand the notion of the digital as it pervades culture and media. Using examples from music, visual arts and an experimental artistic practice dystopian visions of technology are disentangled, re-configured. Embodied agency and kinaesthesia play a major role in this process
Beato Iohannes Traguriensis and Dominik Andreis
No full textIn the 17th century, the hagiography and iconography of Bishop Iohannes Traguriensis were enriched by various members of Trogir’ s noble families. In this promotion of the cult of the local beato, Dominik Andreis stands out with his efforts: he was the author of an unpublished Litany in Croatian (1632), the instigator of publishing an Italian Vita by Giovanni Francesco Loredan (1648), and the sponsor of a three act drama by Girolamo Brusoni (1656), performed in Trogir with musical intermezzos and published two years later (1658)
