inspiration collecting examples amassing libraries pinning notes and images around their workspaces and so on There is a broad recognition that much of the design proceeds by modification of previous ideas e g Oxman 1990 and that experts amass collections of examples and precedents to employ in design e g Lawson 2004 Indeed there are attempts to introduce students to relevant design precedents e g Heylighen and Verstijnen 2003 However much of the previous research has tended to focus on reference recall and reasoning and to neglect the vital role of explicit external sources of inspiration in triggering and guiding designers activities It appears that many attempts at computer support and most research starts with conceptual design this paper reports on research which attempts to investigate the even earlier gathering of sources of inspiration and exploration of ideas and hence to understand the mechanisms by which inspiration is harnessed see also Eckert and Stacey 2000

organise your tags so it s an alternative to an alphabetical list also tags can be kept under multiple headings A good future development would be to make these bundle headings tags themselves also with an RSS feed this way we could subscibe to topic tags or bundle tags as they would be called So at the moment tag bundles are for personally organising your tags into groups good also to view

Canonbury Square London N1 2AN From 19 September 2012 to 23 December 2012 Bruno Munari was a founding member of the Movimento Arte Concreta M A C in Milan which was established towards the end of the 1940s This acted as a catalyst for new developments in Italian abstraction and aspired to bring about a synthesis of arts in which traditional painting would be complemented by new tools of communication demonstrating the possibility of a convergence of art and technology creativity and functionality Reflecting his belief that technological advances expanded the artist s expressive vocabulary by 1950 Munari had begun to experiment with creating works by means of projecting light through compositions made from a wide range of materials such as coloured and transparent plastic organic elements and Polaroid filters producing beautiful and intriguing images of vast dimensions Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art 2012 Fig 1 Bruno Munari Aeroplanes and Archers 1932 mixed

searchable database for archiving artistic research RC content is not peer reviewed nor is it highly controlled for quality being checked only for appropriateness As a result the RC is highly inclusive The open source status of the RC is essential to its nature and serves its function as a connective and transitional layer between academic discourse and artistic practice thereby constituting a discursive field for artistic research The RC creates a link between 1 elaborated documentation of the work and 2 expositions and comments that engage with the contribution of the work as research Given that the RC is a site for artistic research to add a work is to make a claim that the work can be seen as research through expositions comments and articles the initial claim is transformed into an argument It is believed that the reflective space provided by the RC can become an essential part of the research process by providing a suitable structure in which to develop the relationship between documentation and exposition whilst also retaining congruence with art itself Clearly the RC is the backbone of JAR potential JAR expositions emerge from the range of the artistic research activities taking place in it for peer-review and development within the RC space itself Authors may nominate or JAR editors may select expositions for development as JAR contributions If you believe that RC software might also support your research database needs then explore the possibility of using the RC as your repository by contacting us Society of Artistic Research

to create a networked infrastructure of urban media facades to circulate artistic and socio-cultural content throughout the whole of Europe Media facades and digital big screens provide new opportunities for communication in the public space Through modern Information and communication technologies ICT they are membranes between the digital and the urban spaces All over the world we can evidence an increase of urban screens media facades and media technologies like mobile phones 5 9 of 7 billion people have meanwhile access to the internet What is the potential of urban media besides the commercial usage for advertisement How can they catalyse communication and awareness of our environments and contribute to a lively society How can we create an exchange between local scenes and neighbourhoods thus giving a voice to the public audience Which impact will they have for our global communities http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2969 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:28:51 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2960 Researchers at IBM have revealed they are working on technology which will lead to consumers being shown tailor made adverts that reflect their personal interests Digital advertising screens are already appearing in train stations on bus stops and on the sides of buildings but currently they only show generic adverts for a handful of products The new advertising hoardings will behave like those in the film Minority Report starring Tom Cruise in which Cruise s character is confronted with digital signs that call out his name as he walks through a futuristic shopping mall John Anderton You could use a Guinness right about now one billboard announces as he walks past IBM claims that its technology will help prevent consumers from being subjected to a barrage of irritating advertising because they will only be shown adverts for products that are relevant to them Richard Gray 01 August 2010 Science Correspondent for The Telegraph Fig 1 Uploaded

clear the images I post weren t scribbled into the margins by surreptitious snarkers whilst no one was looking They were explicitly commissioned by the manuscript s patrons as part of the project from the very beginning For the well-heeled noble ordering a book was not just a matter of selecting the text deciding on size presentation illustration and ratio of naked dudes to non-naked dudes in the margins was all part of the process of getting a book made This is not to say that medieval readers and scribes didn t ever doodle It s just easy to tell the difference between images planned as part of the manuscript s commission and those scribbled in by a creative bored scribe or one of the later owners of the manuscript Just as you might imagine a reader might decide a chunk of text was particularly important and make a note in the margin Or someone might just decide a page looked too blank and thus attempt to fill up some of that space 1 See the thing about medieval doodles is they look just like modern doodles For this page 2 somebody sat down and sketched out a rough draft showed it to somebody else possibly even multiple somebodies There were meetings Consultants were brought in The client was consulted And at some point somebody said Yes that s very nice the nuns smuggling that dude into their nunnery Very topical But I don t like that blanket Too drab Can we get someone to put some flowers on it The difference is I hope clear You donot doodle in gold leaf Carl Pyrdum 13 February 2012 Got Medieval http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2888 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:59:42 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2887 Screen culture is a world of constant flux of endless sound bites quick cuts and half-baked ideas It is a flow of gossip tidbits news headlines and floating first impressions Notions don t stand alone but are massively interlinked to everything else truth is not delivered by authors and authorities but is assembled by the audience Screen culture is fast like a 30-sec movie trailer and as liquid and open-ended as a website On a screen words move meld into pictures change color and perhaps even meaning Sometimes there are no words at all only pictures or diagrams or glyphs that may be deciphered into multiple meanings This is terribly unnerving to any civilization based on text logic Kevin Kelly 19 June 2000 Will We Still Turn Pages Time Magazine Fig
