Cracks in Reality: Gavin Turk / Jens Wolf
No full textWhat is reality and where do its abstraction, original and copy, overlap? Today the boundaries are in flux and are repeatedly dissolving. With the exhibition, "Cracks in Reality - Gavin Turk/ Jens Wolf', Marta Herford presents two artists from its own collection whose works correspond with each other in dialogue form: Gavin Turk, who belongs to the generation of Young British Artists, and Jens Wolf, a representative of new abstraction in painting. Almost forty works, including large-format paintings, filigree sculptures and a temporary mural work created especially for the exhibition, open up a space to think about appropriation and imitation, all the while pointing up astonishing references to art history. Concepts of authorship and originality are scrutinized here by both artists with an ironic, critical undertone
Turk Mechanical
No full textTurk Mechanical is a collection of digital literary artifacts created through NEM-0X, a writing machine designed to entangle, render, and instantiate different types of media after enacting a series of algorithmic processes. The artifacts contained in this collection are primarily concerned with exploring multi-scalarity, distributed cognition, relationality, embodiment, affectability, material specificity, and environmental embeddedness.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical reference
Gavin Turk
No full textPart of the YBA (Young British Artist) movement of the mid-1990s, Gavin Turk has created pioneering works of contemporary art using materials such as painted bronze, wax, and garbage. His installations, sculptures, and images refer to issues of authorship, authenticity, and identity and toy with the art historical establishment. Featuring numerous color illustrations, the volume includes Turk's major works since the early 1990s as well as three texts. One of these, an original essay by Iain Sinclair, contextualizes the artist's work under the umbrella of psycho-geography, including the impact of London on Turk's persona

Neuromechanical measurement of motor impairments in relation to upper limb activity limitations after stroke
No full textLoss of upper-limb function is a problem following stroke. Recent research has led to the emergence of new treatments but progress is hampered by lack of reliable objective measures of impairment, and understanding of the underlying impairment mechanisms associated with loss and recovery of functional activity. The aim of this research was to identify, using neuromechanical measurement methods, inter-relationships between motor impairments, and correlates of motor impairments with functional activity limitation in the upper limb of acute and chronic stroke survivors.An instrumented rig has been developed to measure impairments: muscle weakness, active range of movement, motor control accuracy in rhythmic and discrete tracking tasks, spasticity, coactivation, contracture and non-neural stiffness. In pilot studies, signal processing and data analysis techniques have been used to generate novel, clinically and physiologically relevant indices to quantify impairments. In a Main Study, 13 older impaired participants in the acute phase post-stroke, 13 in the chronic phase 14 age-matched unimpaired participants underwent rig assessments and performed a test of upper limb activity. A sub-group of impaired participants were tested on two days for test-retest reliability evaluation.Statistical tests have confirmed the validity of the impairments to distinguish between acute and chronic patients and unimpaired individuals, except coactivation during discrete movements and non-neural stiffness. Repeatability coefficients for the active test indices have been presented as benchmark values for use in future trials. The muscle activation indices showed lower repeatability which highlights the challenge of using these to measure change over time. The impairments that contributed to lower motor control accuracy were reduced extensor weakness, delayed extensor onset timing, coactivation and smaller extension AROM and PROM; coactivation was more strongly associated with motor control accuracy than with spasticity or stiffness.The most important contributors to functional activity in the acute group was extensor weakness, and in the chronic group was motor control accuracy and coactivation (rhythmic task). Contracture was important contributor in both groups, and was associated with weakness and loss of active range of movement rather than spasticity. The findings support the notion that rehabilitation strategies should focus on increasing muscle strength and prevention of contracture. However, assessment of more complex impairments like motor control accuracy and coactivation may be crucial to better target therapy, especially in the later phases post-stroke
Creating a data collection for evaluating rich speech retrieval
No full textWe describe the development of a test collection for the investigation of speech retrieval beyond identification of relevant content. This collection focuses on satisfying user information needs for queries associated with specific types of speech acts. The collection is based on an archive of the Internet video from Internet video sharing platform (blip.tv), and was provided by the MediaEval benchmarking initiative. A crowdsourcing approach was used to identify segments in the video data which contain speech acts, to create a description of the video containing the act and to generate search queries designed to refind this speech act. We describe and reflect on our experiences with crowdsourcing this test collection using the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform. We highlight the challenges of constructing this dataset, including the selection of the data source, design of the crowdsouring task and the specification of queries and relevant items
