Dopamining 2.0 / EXTRANCE video teaser
No full textNorsk:
Andre runde (Dopamining 2.0) av prosjektet foregikk i Kina. Filmen EXTRANCE er en forgrening fra prosjektet Dopamining og tilfører nye perspektiver til forskingsprosjektets grunnstamme. Jeg dro til Xiamen med videokunstneren Marius Mathisrud for å besøke fabrikken som har malt oljemaleriene i prosjektet. Videre dro vi til Hangzhou hvor vi hadde avtale med Professor Yu Zhen som leder Meta Art Academy (http://www.maa.art/) (https://en.caa.edu.cn/news/1027.html).
EXTRANCE portretterer en billedkunstner, som drar til Xiamen i Kina på et fabrikkbesøk. Han er der for å overse en prosess hvor han har engasjert flere kinesiske artisanere til å male en omfattende serie med oljemalerier. Han har bedt de male hver eneste emoji som iOS har i sitt emojibibliotek. Det er i overkant av 3000 stk. Han har et ønske om å lage en encyklopedi av menneskelige følelser (emotions) til en kommende utstilling ved en større institusjon. Under dette besøket blir han bedt om å demonstrere og male foran artisanerne, men klarer bare å male hvitt på et hvitt lerret. I frustrasjon innser han det faktum at oppmerksomheten og fokuset hans er forsvunnet. Filmen utvikler seg til å bli en indre og ytre reise gjennom Kina. Han oppsøker det spirituelle og tradisjonelle i kulturen, samt det hypermoderne og teknologiske, på desperat leting etter sin egen oppmerksomhet.
English:
The second round (Dopamining 2.0) of the project took place in China. The film EXTRANCE is a branch from the Dopamining project and adds new perspectives to the research project's core. I traveled to Xiamen with video artist Marius Mathisrud to visit the factory that has painted the oil paintings in the project. Furthermore, we went to Hangzhou where we had an appointment with Professor Yu Zhen who heads the Meta Art Academy (http://www.maa.art/) (https://en.caa.edu.cn/news/1027.html).
EXTRANCE portrays a visual artist who travels to Xiamen in China for a factory visit. He is there to oversee a process where he has engaged several Chinese artisans to paint an extensive series of oil paintings. He has asked them to paint every single emoji in iOS emoji library, which is over 3000 pieces. He aims to create an encyclopedia of human emotions for an upcoming exhibition at a major institution. During this visit, he is asked to demonstrate and paint in front of the artisans, but he can only paint white on a white canvas. In frustration, he realizes that his attention and focus have disappeared. The film evolves into an inner and outer journey through China. He seeks the spiritual and traditional aspects of the culture as well as the hyper-modern and technological, in a desperate search for his own attention
Dopamining
Get PDFDopamining is a title constructed by combining two words. A noun and a verb. Dopamine and mining.
Roughly thirty different raw materials make up a total of 149 grams, which is the weight of an iPhone 6. The materials are extracted from several countries with a huge geographical spread, questionable working conditions, political situations and environmental policies. A device, more or less a part of ourselves, both physically and emotionally, is really just a composite of dredged up soil that carries countless of stories.
This still ongoing artistic research project attempts to reflect upon the social and material footprints that the Iphone leaves behind. At the core of this project is the method deciphering.

RHEME
Get PDFLiterally a rheme (project title) defines a clause that gives information about the theme, but does not follow from the theme: e.g. it provides new information.
In this project, we have let a selection of emoticons from Isak Wisløff’s project DOPAMINING (on KHiODA) several such clauses, or rhemes.
They were displayed in the Vitrine gallery in KHiO’s reception, 1 for each day of the week. By multiplying the rhemes, in this way, we created a lineup.
A lineup is a concept used both in fashion and in crime investigations. In this project it is a contribution to investigative aesthetics.
RHEME is a project seeking criticality, that is to hatch ways of well founded political action in a situation in which the school becomes part of the precariat.
Definition: « Precariat is a word for a social class formed by people suffering from precarity, which means existing without predictability or security, affecting material or psychological welfare. The term is a portmanteau merging precarious with proletariat.»
In the week of the display (week 44 2022) the lineup was integrated into a learning theatre: learning in performance and in full public view. The attached leaflets documents the learning theatre.
The first leaflet was circulated during week 44. The last leaflet—with recommendations to the school—was circulated the week after.
The RHEME project is an experimental attempt at implementing what the law of universities and colleges in Norway, is enjoining us to do (our transl.):
« The purpose of universities and colleges is to […] disseminate knowledge about its activities and contribute to the common understanding of the principle of professional freedom and the application of scientific and artistic methods and results, both in the teaching of students, in the school’s activity and otherwise in public administration, the cultural and corporate sectors. »

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
