The exhibition Cabinets of Costume was undertaken as part of an international conference, Culture, Costume, and Dress at Birmingham City University (BCU) in May 2017. Its aim was to highlight two study collections held at BCU — the first, the Historical Dress Archive, which includes the Kate Elizabeth Bunce objects, and the second, the Art and Design Archives. Referencing the previous practice of object-based study to inform current practice at the Municipal School of Art, Birmingham, this paper will explore the cultural and creative capital of this assemblage of everyday historic dress uncovered in 2012 at BCU. Focusing on the Historical Dress Archive the initiative was developed to enable undergraduates across the faculty of Art, Design and Media at BCU to study extant historical dress, creating five representations or ‘ghosts’ of the objects of study. The initiative and exhibition offered an opportunity for a student-academic partnership to share the practices of object-based study as a creative catalyst, to inform costume practices as a live project.

The article presents Esmog Data, an immersive installation exhibited in the Balance-Unbalance International Conference held in Manizales, Colombia in 2016. The piece explores the visualization and sonification of urban environmental data. Esmog Data works transforming sensor readings of different toxic gases into perceptible stimuli (audio and computer graphics). While air quality is a local everyday community issue, the goal of the project is enhancing environmental awareness. In this regard, the work aims to create a meaningful context for interpreting scientific data of the urban territory.

Training Programmes

AbstractAt the International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology (ICEEP7), about 70 people attended the workshop on workload and conditioning guided by the authors. Most of the audience were involved in Thoroughbred or Standardbred racing, and only a limited number of people were mainly involved in FEI equestrian disciplines (sport horses). The workshop and this review article address the measurement of workload and conditioning of the Thoroughbred racehorse. It was proposed that workload could be quantified using a few selected parameters commonly recorded in the racing industries, such as velocity and distance, to generate a cumulative workload index. The review of conditioning focuses on the Thoroughbred racehorse and examines what can be modified with training, how training programmes should be designed based upon scientific methods and how training programmes should be routinely designed in current practice. It would appear that, in general, the methods used in practice for training Thoroughbred racehorses are quite similar to those used in a set of recent scientific studies, particularly in young (2–3-years-old) Thoroughbreds. Nevertheless, both the length of the training programme and the total amount of exercise are usually shorter/lower than ideal in order to maximize physiological adaptations within the animal's body. In planning the training programme, it is very important to recognize that different adaptations occur at different rates, and this will affect the relative amount of training that should be applied to achieve specific adaptations.

Ecological Culture

The city is an aggregate of anthropogenic, natural-anthropogenic and natural objects that are interrelated and interdependent. Environmental problems in cities are associated with consumerism and an irresponsible attitude to nature in society. We need to find additional approaches to solving environmental problem using, in particular, the means of art and design. The article analyzes the potentialities of a material urban environment for the formation of ecological culture in society. Ecological culture is a system of social relations, moral standards, views and values relating to the relationship between man and nature. The author highlights the qualities and functions of design objects that make them ecofriendly. The ecological approach to design has become the successor and development of systemic and environmental approaches. It is characterized by an awareness of the moral and ethical responsibility of the designer and the search for professional tools to solve environmental problems. The role of art-design and its educational potential is emphasized, and the ways in which art objects produce a psychological impact on the viewer are identified.

Neste artigo, pretende-se identificar se e como os métodos de simulação e fabricação digitais podem dinamizar o entendimento de relações entre arte, design e artesanato. Em primeiro lugar, apresentaremos a noção de objectile de Deleuze e Cache em analogia à noção de algoritmo computacional, que incorpora a variabilidade e a singularidade na geração de sistemas paramétricos. Em segundo, dado que o objectile ocupa um contínuo por variação, proporemos três níveis de reflexão sobre a noção de objectile no contexto do projeto paramétrico de objetos de arte e design digitais. Em terceiro, investigaremos como a noção de topologia vista como um elemento primordial na geração da variabilidade e da singularidade – no âmbito dos sistemas paramétricos – pode instaurar um tipo distinto de produção, na vocação pelo customizável, executada com base em processos experimentais. Em quarto, examinaremos como os responsivos processos de simulação e fabricação digitais configuram-se como extensões protéticas das capacidades intelectivas e hápticas do indivíduo, trazendo à tona relações de retroalimentação entre o artesanal e o digital, o individual e o coletivo, a autografia e a alografia, o risco e a certeza. Abstract In this article, we identify whether and how the methods of digital simulation and fabrication can dynamize the understanding of relations between art, design and crafts. We firstly present the concept of Deleuze and Cache of the objectile in analogy to the notion of computational algorithm, which incorporates variability and singularity in the generation of parametric systems. Secondly, since the objectile occupies a continuum through variation, we propose three levels of reflection on the idea of the objectile within the parametric design of art and design digital objects. Thirdly, we investigate how the notion of topology seen as a primordial element in the generation of variability and singularity - within the framework of parametric systems - can introduce a type of distinctive production through customization, carried out and based on experimental processes. Finally, we examine how the responsive processes of digital simulation and fabrication are configured as prosthetic extensions of the individual's intellectual and haptic capacities, producing feedback relationships between the artisanal and digital, the individual and collective, autography and alography, and risk and certainty.

Art Design

Modern is a term that has much to do with the advent of the early twentieth century. The most fundamental features are always associated with the concept of industrial revolution. The invention of Guttenberg printing press has always been the claim of the world of communication and design over the era of modernism. In its development, each field then performs new claims to modernism through a variety of products that only appear visually, visually, or functionally. The world of art, design, and architecture became a loyal manufacturer of modernism. But apparently, the concept of modernism also met the point of saturation. New concepts emerge by adopting a term that seems to negate modernism, namely postmodernism. In perkembangnnya, this term is not just a concept, but transformed into a movement and considered to be a threat to modernism, because it has a style of interest in the field of art, design, and architecture. This article provides an early paradigm of modernism and postmodernism especially in the field of design in theoretical framework based on the views of some related experts.   Keywords: modernism, postmodernism, art and design.
