Emergence
Get PDFThe output is a creative project comprising a series of thirty paintings responding to the theme of 'Emergence'. The series was exhibited in ‘Emergence’ alongside three other artists. Research process: The work produced for this exhibition was the result of the development of ongoing artistic practice over the course of a year. This series of new paintings was exhibited alongside three other artists. The paintings were hung in groupings that alluded to tenuous relationships between the works, and foregrounded the spatial play between individual works and the space of the gallery. Research insights: Thematically the work produced for the exhibition explored the idea of emergence in terms of visibility and concealment. This new series of paintings allude to architectural spaces that are negated or concealed by grid like structures. Previous themes of uncertainty, illusion and negation were reconsidered through a shift in scale and support, resulting in an attentiveness to the object nature of the painting and the potential for experimental configurations. Dissemination: The research was disseminated through a group exhibition curated by Rebecca Wild at AIR Open exhibition in 2018. The exhibition brought together the work of four prize-winners from the AIR Open exhibition of 2017 at which Virgoe was awarded the Jacksons prize
The prison project
Get PDFThe output is a series of artefacts comprising small scale smoke stencil drawings,
produced specifically for a cell in the disused Dean Road Prison in Scarborough.
Research process: The drawings are informed by a previous visit to the Barracks at Berwick-upon-Tweed, in which drawings and messages were stencilled onto the ceilings by soldiers. The drawings are made by holding a flame beneath the stencil, leaving a sooty deposit. This method became part of a working practice for a series of drawings which were included in the Scarborough Prison Project. Research insights: The drawings responded to the nature of the architectural spaces of the prison whilst imagining spaces of transition and escape. The use of smoke suggests an impermanence and provisionality, and the marking of time. The work was presented as part of a group exhibition of site responsive drawing projects in the cells of the Victorian prison. Dissemination: The drawings were disseminated as part of the ‘Scarborough Prison Drawing Project’ at Dean Road Prison, Scarborough, 12-14 February 2016. The work was also disseminated through an accompanying exhibition catalogue: The project was sponsored by Arts Council England, Coastival and Scarborough Borough Council
Grimsby School of Art architectural facade
Get PDFThe output is a design commissioned for the façade of the Grimsby School of Art building, in collaboration with Ryder Architecture and RMIG. Virgoe was responsible for the visual design. It was manufactured from perforated anodised aluminium. Research process The panel designs began as drawings, that were then reconfigured digitally, and produced as sheet panels. The process of creating an image through various sizes of perforation had previously been used for more organic, or photographic images. The geometric nature of the design presented new challenges both in terms of developing the digital designs and applying these to the panels. The perforated skin of the building is illuminated at night from behind, and as a result the flat schematic drawing becomes more illusory and three dimensional at night. Research insights The intention of the design was to convey something of the nature of the work that was going to take place in the building, and as such the design needed to be fluid and changing, rather than a distinctive image that would quickly become too familiar. The image was conceived as something that could express universal ideas about the creative processes and practices that the building facilitated. The design was equally a response to the potential of the medium and the site, along with the lighting that would be visible through the perforated sheets.Dissemination In addition to the building opening, the design was disseminated via Architects Journal (August 2015), Architects Data File (August 2015), blogs, including Refurb and Developer update (September 24 2015), the architect (Ryder) and manufacturer (RMIG) websites and the media
Phase III le modulor /Phase IV intersections art/architecture
Get PDFThe output consists of two sets of paintings that were included in the following two related exhibitions: ‘Phase III Le Modular’, Galerie HLM, Marseilles, and ‘Phase IV Intersections: Art/Architecture’, Stephen Lawrence Gallery, University of Greenwhich, London. Research process: Virgoe was invited to exhibit in ‘Phase III Le Modulor’ in Marseilles, 2019. For this a new body of work was produced, which responded to the 1948 text by LeCorbusier, and to be exhibited in the town where the Unite D’Habitation was realised. ‘Phase IV’ brought together artists from the UK and France along with ‘Outside Architecture’ research group from the University of Greenwich. Research insights: For the first exhibition Virgoe produced a series of paintings using a loosely modulor system of repeated units within the paintings, which to some extent reflect the adaprations that LeCorbusier himself made to his system. These were conceived as a series in a grid format, and as such bear a relationship to the numerous layout iterations in the text. For ‘Phase IV’, Virgoe exhibited four paintings that consider the space between architecture and abstraction. Dissemination:Phase III was a group exhibition at Galerie HLM, Marseilles, and Phase IV was a group exhibition at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, Greenwich
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
