[Yasmin_discussions] Art and wetlands in the Med area

Hi

I'm trying to finalise the abstract to go into the Imagining the
Mediterranean Congress
https://www.ivam.es/en/congress-imaginar-el-mediterraneo/ This part of my
work as co-ordinator of the Art Focus Group for the Ramsar Culture Network
- Ramsar is the intergovernmental Convention on Wetlands
http://www.ramsar.org

I'm looking for examples of ecoart/environmental art addressing wetlands in
the Mediterranean area. I've got two at the moment:

Brandon Ballengee has worked at Parco Arte Viviente in Turin as part of his
ongoing Malamp project - he did an Eco Action and they produced a nice
little book. 3rd video here -http://brandonballengee.com/eco-actions/

Shai Zakai's Concrete Stream project in Israel cleaned up a stream which
was being used as a dump by a concrete works, and engaged the business to
persuade them to stop dumping.http://greenmuseum.org/
content/work_index/img_id-464__prev_size-0__artist_id-18__work_id-31.html

and http://www.shaizakai.com/text.php?NID=256

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Yasmin_discussions] art sci tech as a gift exchange culture

Ken
you raise an important issue which i think is a key question
for how the art science technology community can work
together

as you know on arteca.mit.edu we are giving free
access to anyone who contributes to the content (authors)
quality (peer reviewers and betatesters) or the relevance
(editorial advisors)

this came out of discussions with anthropologist james leach
who has studied the art science community as an embedded
anthropologist- he also studies groups in new guinea and other
societies which function of gift exchange rather than financial
exchange

as you say we need to invent a gift exchange culture that works
on line so we can all invest the time to improve all our work !!

maybe yasminers have experience with gift exchange mechanisms on line
and can make recommendation- there are a number of on line communities
doing this productively- maybe yasmin can be a testbed for this

so THANK you for making you collection of articles and books your are
collecting available open access to people who contribute content !!

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Research Request -- Second Request

Dear Adam,

The first collection went to people who sent material as thanks for their participation and to welcome them to the ongoing project.

Much of this material is protected by copyright — I can't put it on an open access web site. It is permissible to share working materials with collaborators on a project. People who help us to build the collection are project collaborators. What I do is to share the collection with them.

Project documents will become widely available in one or more open access formats. This includes the project bibliography, a critical literature review, and — if we feel that it will be useful, an annotated bibliography. The bibliographies will be announced and circulated, and they will be made available under a Creative Commons license. The critical literature review will most likely be published in an open access journal, but if it is not published open access, the final author's pre-publication draft will be made available open access. All of these will be available on my Academia page.

If you check the page, you'll see that I make many such documents available already:

http://swinburne.academia.edu/KenFriedman

Back in the 1970s when I took my PhD in human behavior, the psychologists and anthropologists with whom I studied use to analyze the best ways to provide incentives for participation in surveys. This was before Internet and email, and long before online survey technology. Surveys were printed on paper and delivered in envelopes by uniformed members of the United States Post Office with return envelopes for the completed surveys of those who answered the questions. Surveys generally involved people you did not know, and if you were a doctoral student, the people you attempted to survey most definitely did not know you.

The protocol for randomized surveys involved painstaking work to identify and randomize relevant populations. For example, this might be a sample of all female voters in selected election districts in the states of California, Colorado, and Connecticut. The protocol for targeted surveys was simpler, except that they weren't random. For example, someone might want to ask every city council member in an American city with more than 5,000,000 inhabitants about council member response to voter complaints. Or someone might want to survey the executive officer of every missile-bearing submarine in the United States Navy to ask about crew morale on long deep sea cruises. Or perhaps someone might want to survey university psychology professors on how to get a good survey response.

Getting would-be survey participants to respond could be a real problem. If one did not get enough answers relative to the population size and the survey sample, it might create problems. This is why, to this day, so many researchers in different fields use populations drawn from easily accessible groups — such as university students. In many cases, this is quite workable — especially in simple experiments for such fields as behavioral economics. For surveys, it was different.

The search for effective incentives was endless. For example, someone found that attaching a $5 bill to the survey letter increased the response rate significantly. It was obvious that people could keep the money whether they responded or not — but the fact that they were given a gift with cash value increased the response rate. This is the same principle the charities use in sending cards, key rings, memory sticks, or return address stickers as gifts with the donation pitch. It works, too, even on intelligent people. One elderly relative — a former university professor — always sent a small check. Unfortunately, that made him a target for further mailings. When he died, his kids found a drawer in his house stuffed with giveaway memory sticks from different charities. Another drawer had several dozen packages of return address labels.

Today, we face similar challenges in response to research requests such as this one.

In the Internet era, however, it is much easier to offer an incentive. Everyone who sends documents goes on my lists of collaborators, and every collaborator gets a link to the collection.

Yours,

Ken

Dear Ken,

Sorry if I missed this, but could you post again where you made the first
collection available last week?

Kind regards,
Adam

I made the first collection available last week, and I will make an
updated collection available as soon I I finish organizing it.

Dear Colleagues,

and documents of any kind on the topics of 1) practice based research, 2)
practice led research, 3) practice as research, 4) artistic research, 5)
investigative design, and 6) generative research.

So far, I have received over 200 contributions. I am grateful to those who
have sent them — I'm writing again to request that people who haven't yet
sent documents support this project with material.

In working on an article, I discovered that authors use these terms in many
different ways. In some cases, the same terms designate very different
approaches, methods, or perspectives. In other cases, different terms
indicate the same approach, method, or perspective. More confusing still,
some of these terms designate approaches, methods, or perspectives that
could easily be characterized using standard research terms from the social
sciences, natural sciences, humanities, or liberal arts. While artists,
designers, architects, composers, or other practitioners of the fine arts
or creative arts have done the projects, these could well be projects by

I seek anything that anyone can send me that has been published in books,
journals, reports, or even in the gray literature. I also welcome research
documents such as PhD dissertations or theses that exemplify these terms if
when the documents contain an explicit method or methodology section that
defines terms and methods,

When possible, I'd like actual documents in .pdf or MS Word .docx or .doc
formats.

It is easy to send documents in any standard format by using WeTransfer.
WeTransfer hosts a free service that allows users to send up to 20 GB at no

When documents are not accessible, I also welcome links.

Please send these directly to me, not to this list. Email to:

As usual, I will compile the documentation that I receive. I will send a
complete bibliography to everyone who contributes, and I will make the full
collection available to anyone who wishes a copy. I made the first
collection available last week, and I will make an updated collection
available as soon I I finish organizing it.

This project will take two or three months. As with similar projects in the
past, I will release the complete bibliography and make the collection
available when it is done.

If you have materials, I will be deeply grateful for your help.

Dear Ken,
An article of mine is being published shortly in a special issue on
strategic gardening:
Inter-species encounters at the "*Hexa-Hives*"

The link is here,
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1618866716304101?via%3Dihub

but unfortunately I did not (yet) receive the layouted pdf of the text. If
u cannot access the article via the link, I can send u the unlayouted
version as pdf.
With the project melliferopolis we have been doing practice based research
around bees in urban environments for a few last years.

Hope this is along the lines of what u are looking for.
Many greetings,
Christina

[Yasmin_discussions] Research Request -- Second Request

Dear Colleagues,

Last week, I posted a request seeking help in finding articles, reports, and documents of any kind on the topics of 1) practice based research, 2) practice led research, 3) practice as research, 4) artistic research, 5) investigative design, and 6) generative research.

So far, I have received over 200 contributions. I am grateful to those who have sent them — I'm writing again to request that people who haven't yet sent documents support this project with material.

In working on an article, I discovered that authors use these terms in many different ways. In some cases, the same terms designate very different approaches, methods, or perspectives. In other cases, different terms indicate the same approach, method, or perspective. More confusing still, some of these terms designate approaches, methods, or perspectives that could easily be characterized using standard research terms from the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, or liberal arts. While artists, designers, architects, composers, or other practitioners of the fine arts or creative arts have done the projects, these could well be projects by researchers in other fields.

I seek anything that anyone can send me that has been published in books, journals, reports, or even in the gray literature. I also welcome research documents such as PhD dissertations or theses that exemplify these terms if when the documents contain an explicit method or methodology section that defines terms and methods,

When possible, I'd like actual documents in .pdf or MS Word .docx or .doc formats.

It is easy to send documents in any standard format by using WeTransfer. WeTransfer hosts a free service that allows users to send up to 20 GB at no cost. It is easy to upload documents, and easy to download them.

https://wetransfer.com/

When documents are not accessible, I also welcome links.

Please send these directly to me, not to this list. Email to:

ken.friedman.sheji@icloud.com

As usual, I will compile the documentation that I receive. I will send a complete bibliography to everyone who contributes, and I will make the full collection available to anyone who wishes a copy. I made the first collection available last week, and I will make an updated collection available as soon I I finish organizing it.

This project will take two or three months. As with similar projects in the past, I will release the complete bibliography and make the collection available when it is done.

If you have materials, I will be deeply grateful for your help.

Sincerely,

Ken

[Yasmin_discussions] Hot steam topic; where is the evidence that its a good idea ?

YASMINERS

for our discussion list

the US Academies of science, engineering and medecine are examining
the evidence behind the assertion that educational experiences that
integrate the humanities and arts with science, technology,
engineering, math, and medicine lead to improved educational and
career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students.


They have issued a public call for submission of evidence by May 2017

We ecourage our international colleague to contribute to this
collective reflection (all contibutions solicited and welcome)


all yasminers should feel free to submit their evidence directly to
the national academies link

http://nas.integration-questionnaire.sgizmo.com/s3/


Roger Malina




Dear Colleague,

We are seeking your input on a National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine study that is examining the evidence behind
the assertion that educational experiences that integrate the
humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, math, and
medicine lead to improved educational and career outcomes for
undergraduate and graduate students.


http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/bhew/humanitiesandstem/index.htm


The committee undertaking this study began its work in July of 2016
and the final product of our deliberations will be the publication of
a detailed, evidence-based report in the spring of 2018 that will
describe the known impact of integrative approaches to teaching and
learning in higher education on students' academic performance and
career readiness. More details on the study can be found here. We are
currently in the information gathering stage of the study process and
we would like to ask whether you, or others at your institution, have
data and information to share that could inform this study.

Are there programs or courses at your institution that integrate the
arts and humanities with science, technology, engineering,
mathematics, and/or medicine? If so, what is known about the impact of
these educational experiences on the students at your institution?

Has your institution ever evaluated or assessed these educational
experiences formally or informally? If so, what data can you share?

Are there factors at your institutions that make integration across
disciplines difficult to achieve? If so, what are they? Have any
educational experiences or programs at your institution that
integrated the arts and humanities with sciences, technology,
engineering, math, and/or medicine ended or been discontinued? If so,
why did the experience or program end?

We would greatly appreciate your input as we work to meet the charge
of this study. The data and information you share will not only
contribute to the evidence base the committee will examine, but will
also aid us in our effort to gather sufficiently broad input to ensure
that we consider all important perspectives and information pertinent
to this topic. In addition to your input, please also forward this
request for content to those colleagues and thought leaders, as well
as affiliated partners in higher education, who you think might make a
unique contribution to this study. Please note that any information
you or your colleagues share with the committee will be made public,
consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

If you have information to share, please submit it using This Link.


http://nas.integration-questionnaire.sgizmo.com/s3/


It would be very helpful to us if you could contribute your input by
May 1, 2017 to allow ample time for the committee to consider your
contribution before the drafting and publication of the report. If we
have follow-up questions regarding your letter, we may contact you by
phone or e-mail, or we may request that you present more details
directly to our committee at a future meeting. For further information
on the study, you may emailAshley Bear.

Your efforts and input will be greatly appreciated.

On Behalf of the Committee,
David Skorton
Secretary, Smithsonian Institution
