Pulses of Abstraction: Episodes from a History of Animation by Andrew Robert Johnston Pdf

Drawing on extensive archival research, this project emphasizes the history of techniques and technologies deployed for the production of images within abstract animation by coupling materialist histories with formal analyses. I begin by describing this approach and also engage with theoretical debates about the nature of animation and how to situate it within the field of film studies. I argue for a new, more inclusive definition that is attendant to both the diversity of materials and technologies employed in animation and to the perceptual impact of the generated images. While previous accounts have tended to treat animation in isolation from broader currents in cinema, I take up these moments in this history of abstract animation to show that it can offer the material out of which a more inclusive, flexible and dynamic account of cinema can be built. Highlighting a rich array of graphic techniques--such as etching directly onto the filmstrip, generating rapid, discontinuous montage sequences, or using digital vector displays and programming technologies--I show that animation is and has been an especially privileged site for the investigation of technology, form, and aesthetic experience.

Pulses of Abstraction by Andrew R. Johnston Pdf

Reshapes the history of abstract animation and its importance to computer imagery and cinema Animation and technology are always changing with one another. From hand-drawn flipbooks to stop-motion and computer-generated imagery (CGI), animation’s identity is in flux. But many of these moving image technologies, like CGI, emerged from the world of animation. Indeed, animation has made essential contributions to not only computer imagery but also cinema, helping shape them into the fields and media forms we know today. In Pulses of Abstraction, Andrew R. Johnston presents both a revealing history of abstract animation and an investigation into the relationship between animation and cinema. Examining a rich array of techniques—including etching directly onto the filmstrip, immersive colored-light spectacles, rapid montage sequences, and digital programming—Pulses of Abstraction uncovers important epistemological shifts around film and related media. Just as animation’s images pulse in projection, so too does its history of indexing technological and epistemic changes through experiments with form, material, and aesthetics. Focusing on a period of rapid media change from the 1950s to the 1970s, this book combines close readings of experimental animations with in-depth technological studies, revealing how animation helped image culture come to terms with the rise of information technologies.

Pulses of abstraction in Latin America by Abraham San Pedro Pdf

Summary: The present publication offers a broad overview of works from one of the most dynamic and vital movements in Latin-America: geometric abstraction. The Fontanais-Cisneros Collection - specialized in contemporary art - provides the opportunity to revisit the period between 1930 and 1970 through a selection from its holdings of works that reflect this creative movement, which is still little known internationally.

Expansion Waves in Metals Vaporized by Electron Beam Pulses by Henry S. Burden Pdf

An initial attempt to detect vaporization expansion waves in ribbons of copper and lead is described. Vaporization energy is deposited by impulsive, electron beam irradiation. The approaches used to prevent inundation of the expected signals by those directly related to the electron pulse device were not adequate. New designs, reflecting inferred results of the exposures, are included with an experimantal program directed toward preventing signal inundation. (Author).

The Pulse Classic by Shuhe Wang Pdf

The Mai Jing or Pulse Classic was written in the late Han dynasty by Wang Shu-he. It is the first book in the Chinese medical literature entirely devoted tp pulse diagnosis. As such, it is the undeniable and necessary foundation text for anyone seriously interested in understanding the rationale for and method of reading the pulse in Chinese medicine. Although not an easy read, this book is a mine of valuable information for those wishing to go more deeply into a study of the pulse.

What’s New in Cardiovascular Imaging? by Johan H. C. Reiber,Ernst E. van der Wall Pdf

What's New in Cardiovascular Imaging is a bibliographical "image" of a Symposium held June 22-24, 1998 in Leiden, the Netherlands. At this Symposium all the major advances in car diovascular imaging in all the cardiovascular imaging modalities (X-ray, (intravascular) ultra sound, magnetic resonance, scintigraphy and CT) were addressed by the leading authorities in this field. Based on the presentations of the invited Faculty, this book consists of a compi lation of manuscripts related to most of the topics discussed at this particular meeting. We express our gratitude to all authors and coauthors for having made great efforts in preparing their superb up-to-date chapters under a great time pressure, so that this book was available at the time of the Symposium. The authors are all excellent investigators in one or more fields of cardiovascular imaging and they have stimulated progress in cardiovascular imaging with the aim to improve patient care and clinical research. This book consists of a total of 32 chapters subdivided into seven Parts. Each part describes a particular field in cardiovascular imaging. These Parts are: Coronary quantitation by QCA and intracoronary ultrasound (QCU), angiographic trials, progress in intravascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance (MR) coronary and vascular imaging, nuclear cardiovascular imaging, echocardiography, and cine and spiral CT coronary imaging. In general, each Part begins with a chapter that provides a broad overview of the advances in the field described in that particular Part, as well as a view towards the future.
