This document discusses an artistic research PhD project called "Labyrinth Psychotica" that aims to create immersive labyrinthine and wearable multimedia installations to better understand the subjective experience of psychosis. The goal is to develop a tool for empathy and improve practices around simulating psychosis. Influences include works that explore thought processes. Methods proposed include augmented reality technology, paper-based devices, and sensory manipulation to distort perceptions of reality. The project examines how art can provide insights into psychotic thoughts and realities.
This document discusses the concepts of serendipity, emergence, and complexity. It explores how serendipity is more than just chance encounters, and involves an ability to creatively connect events and see opportunities that others may miss. True serendipity requires being open, attentive, and listening for unexpected discoveries and insights. The document suggests we are all capable of serendipity, but many are not given the freedom or trust to allow new ideas and patterns to emerge in a self-organizing way. Letting go of control and listening authentically to others may help unlock more serendipitous breakthroughs.
"Bridging the Ingenuity Gap in the 21st Century" (Creativity, Connectivity an...johncimino
Scholar Thomas Homer Dixon describes the “ingenuity gap” – the space between problems that arise and our ability to solve them – as growing today at an alarming rate (in business, scientific research, education, the environment and world affairs). Author Ken Robinson proclaims we are “Out of Our Minds” to have sidelined creativity and the arts when every layer of American society from elementary education to supply-side economics is starved for more imagination, more original thinking, more creative intelligence. John Cimino, president of Creative Leaps International, looks at the habits of mind linked to creativity, ingenuity and imaginative insight and reviews recent findings in neuroscience revealing the brain’s unique experience of the arts and arts-based thinking. Right along side creativity, Cimino emphasizes the need for connectivity, that is, thinking across boundaries, disciplines and cultures to address the complex issues of a globally inter-connected world. Designing “high tech, high touch” environments for creativity and connectivity is the central challenge of our institutions of higher education, research and professional development. Cimino concludes with his vision for a network of Renaissance Centers for Innovation, Learning and Leadership.
This document discusses how contemporary society has become overly focused on visual imagery due to technological influences like television and the internet. This has led architecture to prioritize aesthetics over engaging other senses. The document presents the work of architects Descosterd & Rahm as a case study in designing for the "invisible" dimensions of smell, sound, and climate. It argues that controlling vision with technology could provoke architectural experiences that combine the visible with the invisible senses in new ways.
Transcendenz is a conceptual social network that uses heads-up display (HUD) technology to connect users' thoughts to the social network and the world around them. The goal is to help users connect with themselves, others, their environment, and how they impact the world. A Japanese invention uses audio feedback to silence talkative or interrupting people. Tracking social media helps the Red Cross and Dell respond faster to natural disasters by monitoring posts about victims.
This document is a questionnaire that asks respondents about their gender, age, music preferences, how often they listen to music, whether music calms them down or makes them happy, how music influences their lifestyle, how they pay for and access music, their background, and clothing style. The questions are seeking to understand the respondent's relationship to and experience of music.
This document summarizes the process and key learnings of a student who created a pop music magazine as part of a class project. The student conducted research on existing music magazine conventions related to layout, design elements, and representation of different genres. For their pop magazine, the student challenged conventions by using bright colors, unconventional photo angles, and imagery to portray a happy, psychedelic atmosphere. Through the process, the student learned how to effectively use Adobe tools like Photoshop and Illustrator to manipulate images and apply effects to represent their target audience and intended genre. The student felt they made progress in applying techniques to better interact with readers compared to their preliminary work.
The student used various media technologies during the construction, planning, and evaluation of their media project. They filmed their project using a Sony video camera with outdoor settings. They edited the footage in Avid to adjust the audio levels and remove static. They also created custom titles in Paint and imported them into Avid. During planning, they researched genres and audiences online and scanned storyboards and paperwork to share online.

The document outlines the process of hosting a Mock Newbery program to encourage reading among students in a community. It involves establishing a partnership between a school and public library, educating students about the Newbery award criteria, creating book clubs to read nominated titles, holding a assembly for students to vote on their favorite titles, and streaming the actual Newbery award announcement. The goal is to expose students to quality literature, different genres, and promote the Newbery award.
The document summarizes the process of creating an animated music video for an anti-folk song. Key details include:
- The student created still images in Photoshop and animated GIFs to illustrate lyrics, as using real people was not possible.
- Final Cut Pro was used to assemble the stills and GIFs into a 2 minute and 24 second music video with no transitions between clips.
- Research online involved looking at other music videos for conventions, as well as using Wikipedia to learn about the anti-folk genre.
The document summarizes the process of creating an animated music video as part of a portfolio project. It describes researching anti-folk music and creating still images and GIFs in Photoshop to illustrate song lyrics. Final Cut Pro was used to assemble the images into a 2 minute and 24 second video set to music. Feedback showed that audiences were unfamiliar with the anti-folk genre and assumed the images depicted a country music band. The student learned about the influence of mainstream music genres on perceptions.

This essay discusses themes of blindness and fighting stereotypes in Ralph Ellison's novel "Invisible Man". The unnamed narrator believes he is invisible to society due to his race. Though wanting achievement, he is limited by the color of his skin in a white world. The essay analyzes how the narrator is blindly led by the college president, Mr. Bledsoe, who wants to maintain the status quo to retain his own power, rather than empower his race. The narrator's blindness to his true situation is a theme explored in the novel through the narrator's experiences with stereotypes, preconceptions and racial limitations.

This document discusses the importance of empathy and developing emotional awareness. It notes that empathy requires presence and lack of divisiveness. While technology enables connection, people are more disconnected than ever. Emotions happen faster than reasoning and are influenced by the stories we tell ourselves. True empathy comes from respecting others' perspectives and recognizing that everyone has the same basic needs, emotions, and means of emotional expression. It encourages shifting away from blame and judgement towards understanding others with compassion.
1. The document discusses how our mental models and blindspots influence our interpretations of the world and interactions with brands. It notes that we develop systematic associations based on what we are exposed to unconsciously.
2. It provides three recommendations for marketers based on insights about mental models: apply consistent branding to develop familiar associations; stand out to trigger impulses through things like logos and promotions; and relate to target audiences through storytelling and customized communications.
3. The document encourages readers to learn more about neuromarketing by reading the book it references in order to better understand how to influence perceptions and interactions with brands.
The Nature of Consciousness, why we can’t put it in machines (yet). Explores hard problem of consciousness, the binding problem, lucid dreaming and our minds reality simulator.
The document discusses several scientific concepts that could improve cognitive abilities, including:
1) Cognitive load - the amount of information our consciousness processes at once. Being aware of cognitive load helps manage information flow.
2) Curating - filtering and organizing vast information to aid navigation in today's proliferation of ideas and data.
3) Interbeing - a Buddhist concept that all things interrelate and depend on each other to exist, like clouds and paper. Understanding interdependence could benefit cognition.
The document discusses sensation and perception, explaining that sensation is the detection of physical stimuli from the environment which is converted into neural signals, while perception involves selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensations. It covers topics like perceptual interpretation, information processing in the visual cortex, visual perception principles like figure-ground and Gestalt principles, and how perception involves both bottom-up sensory processing and top-down cognitive processes.

She appears regularly on radio and television and frequently gives talks to the public and private sector.
Jeffrey Li completed an intelligence assessment and found his scores to be more homogenous than expected. He criticizes the test for failing to objectively measure intelligence and instead measuring personal tendencies. The questions were too vague and did not accurately assess cognitive ability. Of his scores, he was most surprised by his high score in visual/spatial intelligence given his lack of artistic skill.
Intuition Its Powers and Perils Introduction .docxdurantheseldine
Intuition: Its Powers and Perils
Introduction
As a research psychologist and communicator of psychological science, I have spent a career
pondering the connections between subjective and objective truth, between feeling and fact, between
intuition and reality. I'm predisposed to welcome unbidden hunches, creative ideas, the Spirit's
workings. I once took an instant liking to a fellow teenager, to whom I've now been married for nearly
forty years. When I meet job applicants, my gut reactions sometimes kick in within seconds, before I
can explain my feelings in words. “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that
counts can be counted," said a sign in Albert Einstein's office.
But from science and everyday life, I also know that my intuition sometimes errs. My geographical
intuition tells me that Reno is east of Los Angeles, that Rome is south of New York, that Atlanta is east
of Detroit. But I am wrong, wrong, and wrong. “The first principle," said Einstein's fellow physicist
Richard Feynman, “is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool."
For Webster and for this book, intuition is our capacity for direct knowledge, for immediate insight
without observation or reason. “Intuitive thinking is perception-like, rapid, effortless," notes Princeton
University psychologist Daniel Kahneman. By contrast, “deliberate thinking is reasoning-like, critical,
and analytic."
Do we all have untapped intuitive powers? Are we worthy of Shakespeare’s acclaim, “in apprehension
how like a god!"? When hiring, firing, and investing should we plug into our “right brain"
premonitions? Should we follow the example of Star War's Luke Skywalker, by turning off our
computers and trusting the Force?
Or are skeptics right to define intuition as our inner knowing that we're right, whether we are or not?
Are we like “the hollow man . . . headpiece filled with straw" (T. S. Eliot)? With bright people so often
believing demonstrably dumb things, do we instead need more “left brain" rationality? To think and
act smarter, should we more energetically check intuition against reality and subject creative hunch to
skeptical scrutiny?
The Acclaimed Powers of Intuition
In his BBC Reith Lecture in 2000, Prince Charles lifted up the wisdom of the heart. “Buried deep within
each and every one of us there is an instinctive, heart felt awareness that provides—if we allow it to—
the most reliable guide as to whether or not our actions are really in the long term interests of our
planet and all the life it supports. . . . Wisdom, empathy and compassion have no place in the
empirical world yet traditional wisdoms would ask 'without them are we truly human?'" We need, said
the future king, “to listen rather more to the common sense emanating from our hearts."
In this postmodernist New Age, Prince Charles has plenty of company. Scholars, popular writers, and
workshop gurus are training people .

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

8. Where is the art in artistic research?
- complex connections and collaborations
- in original methods (installation art)
- in the experience of the viewer!
- experience as a form of knowledge production
- in the thoughts that are born from the experience
- in the questions that are born
Influences: James Lee Byars- World Question Centre,
Outsider Art, Thomas Hirschhorn, Lygia Clark, Eva
Hesse, Happenings by Allan Kaprow, Surrealists
(in relation to thoughtless processes)
9. Thoughts are my materials that I weave
into ‘clothing’ that a viewer can wear.
Can I try on the thoughts and
experiences of another?

16. What is psychosis?
Psychosis is considered as a severe
mental disorder, a set of symptoms, in
which thoughts and emotions are so
impaired that contact is lost with
external reality.
a ‘Reality Disorder’ also known as a
‘Thought Disorder’...
17. peculiar symptoms:
• hearing voices that others do not hear
• seeing things that others do not see
• believing that you are being watched, followed or
persecuted by others
• believing that others can control your thoughts, or
that you can control the thoughts of others
• feeling that your thoughts have sped up or slowed down
Interesting for an artist: Thoughts seem to become
objectified...
In psychosis, thoughts are experienced as real!
18. Can an artwork say something about
what it is like to be psychotic?
It’s easy to say yes... (think about ‘the
Scream’ by Munch)
If yes, how to capture that and put it in a
scientific context?
19. sympathy and empathy
To gain a grip on the subjective
experience of the other we need to
empathise.
Empathy is the mental simulation of the
experience of the other.
20. Simulation, why is this hard?
"Whoever fakes an illness can simply stay in bed and make
everyone believe he is ill. Whoever simulates an illness
produces in himself some of the symptoms" (Littré).
Simulacra and Simulation Baudrillard refering to Emile Littré
21. What are we looking for??
Eextreme example
Why would we want to
simulate that???
It’s important because 3
in 100 people experience
a psychosis in their
lives!
It is important to gain
a better grip on the
subjective logic in a
psychosis. Art can make
a contribution in this.
22. Bariers of the mental simulation
of the other
Epley and Caruso:
• actively and consciously want to simulate
• our brains like to fill gaps with clichés of
the media
• our brain shows no activity when the
experience of the other is too different from
our own...
