Interestingly, in the last few years, the introduction of some forms of virtual reality (VR) in museum contexts has been increasing. This has solicited enormous research interest in investigating any eventual differences between looking at the same artifact either in a real context (e.g. a museum) and in VR. To address such a target, a neuroaesthetic study was performed in which electroencephalography (EEG) and autonomic signals (heart rate and skin conductance) were recorded during the observation of the Etruscan artifact "Sarcophagus of the Spouses", both in the museum and in a VR reproduction. Results from EEG analysis showed a higher level of the Workload Index during observation in the museum compared to VR (<i>p</i> = 0.04), while the Approach-Withdrawal Index highlighted increased levels during the observation in VR compared to the observation in the museum (<i>p</i> = 0.03). Concerning autonomic indices, the museum elicited a higher Emotional Index response than the VR (<i>p</i> = 0.03). Overall, preliminary results suggest a higher engagement potential of the museum compared to VR, although VR could also favour higher embodiment than the museum.}, Doi = {10.3390/brainsci13040635}, Key = {fds370657} } %% Hayles, N. Katherine @article{fds371867, Author = {Hayles, NK}, Title = {Subversion of the Human Aura: A Crisis in Representation}, Journal = {American Literature}, Volume = {95}, Number = {2}, Pages = {256-279}, Year = {2023}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00029831-10575063}, Abstract = {The human aura is now being subverted by a variety of simulacra. OpenAI’s language-generation program GPT-3 illustrates the challenges of interpreting algorithmic-generated texts. This article advocates interpretive strategies that recognize the profound differences (in the case of GPT-3) of language that issues from a program that has a model only of language, not of the world. Conscious robots, when and if they emerge, will have profoundly different embodiments than humans. Fictions that imagine conscious robots thus face a similar challenge presented by the GPT-3 texts: will they gloss over the differences, or will they enact strategies that articulate the differences and explore their implications for humans immersed in algorithmic cultures? The author analyzes three contemporary novels that engage with this challenge: Annalee Newitz’s Autonomous (2017), Kuzuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021), and Ian McEwan’s Machines like Me (2019). Each interrogates how the human aura is subverted by conscious robots. The article concludes by proposing how a reconfigured human aura should be constituted.}, Doi = {10.1215/00029831-10575063}, Key = {fds371867} } @article{fds373494, Author = {Hayles, NK}, Title = {Literary Cybernetics: The Point (of the Spear)}, Journal = {New Literary History}, Volume = {54}, Number = {2}, Pages = {1289-1294}, Year = {2023}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/nlh.2023.a907175}, Doi = {10.1353/nlh.2023.a907175}, Key = {fds373494} } %% Jacobs, Hannah @article{fds375175, Author = {Henley, A and Bruckner, L and Jacobs, H and Jansen, M and Nunez, B and Rodriguez, R and Wilson, M}, Title = {On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance, a Collections as Data Case Study}, Journal = {Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage}, Volume = {16}, Number = {4}, Pages = {1-20}, Publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)}, Year = {2023}, Month = {December}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/3631128}, Abstract = {<jats:p>On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance is a collections as data and machine learning project from the University Libraries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This project has created a plain text corpus of North Carolina legal volumes (1866–1967) and used machine learning to identify likely Jim Crow laws. The project has been well received and is now being expanded to two additional states, while assessing the use of On the Books products in research and instruction. State partners at the University of South Carolina and the University of Virginia are adapting the On the Books methodology to create corpora for their own states. Three teaching fellows created learning modules that use products from On the Books and taught the modules to college-level courses. Research fellows are making use of the products on research projects of their own design. This article will provide background for the On the Books project and will assess its use for multiple purposes: as a workflow to be reproduced by others, as content for use in teaching and learning, and as a resource for researchers. To demonstrate the utility of On the Books as a research tool, the article is co-authored by one of the research fellows. The project “Mental Health, Disability, and Jim Crow Laws in North Carolina, 1866–1967,” makes use of the legal corpus as a primary source for researching the intersections of information, mental health, nutrition, and shifts from agricultural to industrial economics in the history of North Carolina. By assessing the experiences of those making use of On the Books products, this article contributes to the understanding of best practices for those interested in creating and supporting collections as data so they may be used successfully for reproducibility, research, and teaching.</jats:p>}, Doi = {10.1145/3631128}, Key = {fds375175} } @article{fds375176, Author = {Fischer, B and Jacobs, HL}, Title = {A Repository of Shared Pedagogical Practices: Assignments in Visualizing Objects, Places, and Spaces: A Digital Project Handbook}, Journal = {IDEAH}, Publisher = {PubPub}, Year = {2023}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.21428/f1f23564.1572e06c}, Doi = {10.21428/f1f23564.1572e06c}, Key = {fds375176} } %% Mitchell, Robert E. @misc{fds368138, Author = {Halpern, O and Mitchell, R}, Title = {The Smartness Mandate}, Pages = {335 pages}, Publisher = {M I T PRESS}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {0262544512}, Abstract = {The smartness mandate constitutes a new form of planetary governance, and Halpern and Mitchell aim to map the logic of this seemingly inexorable and now naturalized demand to compute, to illuminate the genealogy of how we arrived here and ...}, Key = {fds368138} } %% Wald, Priscilla @article{fds371430, Author = {Wald, P}, Title = {Afterword}, Journal = {English Language Notes}, Volume = {61}, Number = {1}, Pages = {95-99}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00138282-10293195}, Doi = {10.1215/00138282-10293195}, Key = {fds371430} } | |
