...noise pervades the background of the piece’s midsection. In the last third of the piece, deep resonant drums start beating, the background sounds cut out and frighteningly arrhythmic drums and cymbals destroy the mood that had been so laboriously created; again Battles break the rules of spatial resonance created by the background humming and air-sounds, which are punctuated with obvious computer effects and a wall of noise disconcertingly cutting in and out. These violations of spatial registers shake up the listener on a totally different level than mere quiet/loud alternations. Even more surprisingly, the song ends...
Professor Davis used this approach to explore the idea of spatial politics in his talk entitled “Real Estate and Artistic Identity in Late 19th-Century New York.” He focused on the search for a new home in Manhattan, and used the debate between members (uptown vs. downtown, sponsors vs. independence, galleries vs. school rooms, a highly unpopular proposal in Central Park) as a symbol of the rocky transformation of art’s role into something with high social cachet...
...Parkfield, Calif.) At first he and his colleagues looked for strong quakes that had already occurred, then scrolled backward through years of seismic data. More recently they have been working with current seismic records as well. Their computer programs home in on small quakes that occur in temporal and spatial proximity, linking up in a mathematically defined chain. Only when a chain is preceded by longer-term precursory patterns does the group issue an earthquake alarm. But it will take a long, sustained effort, Keilis-Borok concedes, before he or anyone else can claim to have cracked the puzzle...
...Personal Is Political Latham's parochial life has given his politics a unique social and spatial grounding. In trying to engage with the electorate, he's got intimate. It means he's comfortable talking about himself - and he's not shy about trying to appeal to voters on emotional grounds or on the basis of shared values. Latham says his "ladder of opportunity" slogan "comes from who I am and where I've been." At Labor's national conference in January, he sketched his climb out of Green Valley: "When I was young, my mum used to tell me there...
...Aborigines and the odd ranger, Archer's teams are the only people who set foot on this land. So how do they know their way around? Here, rogainer Creaser more than earns his keep. "This guy," says Frank Nissen, a surveyor with Queensland Parks and Wildlife, "has the best spatial brain of anyone I've ever met. More than 250 sites and he can lead you to every one of them." Digging will be confined this year to Riversleigh's fringes, for money's tight and the team lacks a helicopter, essential for reaching the more inaccessible sites...
