Contagious Affectivity. The Management of Emotions in Late Capitalist Design
I am investigating the notion of affect as elaborated by Baruch Spinoza and, drawing from Spinoza, also by Gilles Deleuze and Brian Massumi, who have written extensively about this subject in relation to the constitution of subjectivities. The general framework I am following is given by the critique of current forms of capitalism, which I am inclined to rename semio-chemio-neuro-affective capital. This term underlines the coagulation of different levels of production, reproduction and control concerning regimes of signs, circulation of knowledge and affects, language and desire, the chemical and neurological composition of subjectivities and so on.
I see here a progression from my previous work on how the production of subjectivities within a biopolitical/affective framework is mediated by psychopharmaceutical technologies (Marenko 2009a) and on the emotional entanglement that characterizes our relationship with objects, which I have reframed within a neo-animist paradigm (Marenko 2009b). I argue that we cannot look at design without first addressing how emotion itself is being designed as labour within the current new spirit of capitalism.
In this sense the increasing emphasis on emotion in design reflects and reinforces what is currently at the core of late capitalism, that is, the shift to affect, knowledge, information and experience, what Italian Marxist theorists (Maurizio Lazzarato, Christian Marazzi, Antonio Negri, Paolo Virno) define as immaterial labour. Against this backdrop I refer to Eva Illouz’s notion of emotional capitalism and Bernard Stiegler’s ideas of psychopower and the capture of attention, as well as to Deleuze’s ideas on modulation and control. My intention in this paper is first to map the territory of what we mean by affect, as distinct from emotion (Deleuze, Massumi). The notion of an affective turn in the social sciences will be addressed (Patricia Clough). Then I will look at the transmission of affect (Teresa Brennan) by invoking an epidemiology paradigm (Gabriel Tarde) and ideas of social contagion and viral spreading. Finally I will position these ideas in relation to designed objects and the process and practice of design, specifically in relation to what is known as emotion- driven design.
Shot with a Canon FD 50mm f/0.95 on an extension tube using a Fuji APS-C camera at high ISO and an electronic shutter. The lens isn’t particularly sharp even by vintage fast 50mm standards and the depth of field is razor-thin as is this XXF nib.
The stripes in the bokeh balls appear because the LEDs are dimmed with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), meaning they are constantly flickering on and off. With an electronic rolling shutter, the camera reads the image line by line and each line lands at a different moment in that PWM cycle, some when the LED is bright and others when it is off, which creates banding and broken bokeh especially at very fast shutter speeds when the camera cannot average the flicker.
Inside the bokeh balls you can also see tiny fine lines which come from the high-frequency PWM pattern itself, stretched across the blurred highlight. The larger, thicker black bands come from the overall rolling shutter readout timing, where whole rows are captured during a darker part of the PWM cycle. Switching to a mechanical shutter usually avoids this because it effectively averages the flicker over the exposure, so PWM artefacts are mostly smoothed out.
Complex oscillator based on two sine waves that are each distinctly "warped" by either wavetable data or unpredictable volatile memory information; the results are then morphed between one another for your output timbre. Includes a dedicated modulation oscillator. Pitch can be controlled via internal bus in 200e systems with a 225e MIDI/Preset Manager.

"The 21 000 year (21 ka) precession cycle was detected in all three cases, the 100 ka eccentricity cycle in two cases and the 41 ka obliquity cycle in one. Filtering revealed that the supposed 21 ka sedimentary cycles are grouped into packets of four or five small and large amplitude cycles. The packets reflect the 100 ka modulation of the 21 ka precession cycle. Local disruption of the packaging can be used to locate hiatuses in pelagic strata."

So I moulded and casted an improved cockpit from my vac-formed master, cleaned it up, and hey, not bad!
All credit for the electronics and programming work goes to my dad, who is just roughing out the sequencing for the micropython system. He assures me the modulation and frequency can be made a lot smoother, but these tests are just to understand what we're trying to acheive
Caught in the middle of an recording and the programming :)

Someone really ought to do something about this!
Here, I heterodyne a master clock laser at 657 nm (linewidth perhaps ~1Hz) with a second-order slave laser (that is, master -> slave 1 -> slave 2). The optical interference should have a clean rf beatnote around 318 MHz since there is a double-pass AOM between the lasers.
Look at all that spectral fuzz within 0.5 MHz of the beat! The rf source is a maser-stabilized DDS, so there's no excuse. We've suspected that this higher-power slave laser was wonky, and well, here it is. I realigned the injection today, and it looks a lot better than this photo. Tomorrow we might get some comb time and see if it makes any difference.
Yet another example of perhaps the best lesson out there: when you want to measure something small, fleeting, and buried in noise, take it to high-frequency and somehow arrange to measure frequencies.
All lit up for the first time! All the instrument lights except for the Dynon D180 and the AP74 autopilot control are on one dimmer pot and switch. They balance out quite well after I added dropping resistors to individual lights. The Dynon can be set up to automatically dim its screen when the cockpit is dark...a function of the AP74. Dynon says that the autodim feature can control other panel lights using a pulse width modulation signal, but they didn't provide any documentation for it in the manual.

Info:
Mid 1980's Tantek, Tanrak Studio Effects Rack which was available in kit form or ready built. On the face of it, they're simple analogue effects - a bit old-fashioned, really - but that's the charm of them. They've perfectly useable and immediately accessible, so you'll have great fun fiddling with the settings - try sweeping the EQ frequency, or riding the delay time for on-the-fly munchkinisation, for instance.
Even better, you'll find new ways to patch the modules together. Everything - in, out and sidechain - is accessible from the rear panel (there's a default path from left to right across the rack if you don't want to use patch cords) so you can create LFO-modulated delay effects, frequency-sensitive compression ... you think of it, you can do it.
MULTI-DELAY - This exciting module opens the way to high quality time domain effects including ADT, chorus, echo, vibrato and reverb. It features a built-in limiter, auto-optimising bandwidth, true spatial stereo outputs and multi reflection reverberation.
MODULATION OSCILLATOR - A CV modulation source whose features include sinewave output, variable duty cycle, key or CV controlled depth, triggerable sweeps and two independently variable outputs. Used with the muli-dealy to create chorus, flanging etc.
DYNAMIC NOISE FILTER - An effective single ended, easy to use, stereo noise reducer which will be found invaluable in any home studio set up to enhance the signal to noise ratio of outboard effects including those which exhibit digital quantisation noise.

period doubling (frequency halving) in an RF pulse using a 5 pence diode. The interesting behaviour here is how rapidly the frequency-halving follows modulations. Thus it can be used for frequency translation of fast signals.
A simple Darlington Transistor circuit for controlling the speed of a DC Brushless fan (12 volts). Requires a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) input. I use and Arduino UNO for this PWM input but any Microprocessor can be used. You can even use a 555 or 556 timer circuit.
For the sake of this simple circuit the Darlington Transistor TIP120 can be thought of as a MOSFET transistor.

Passage of Her Song
A brush
~ gentle brush
To leave spun-silk these wiry curls,
braided ribbons and
other fancy things,
her hands wove round
a countenance ~ my own
reflected in the glass.
Her own ~ silver now flecked,
the porcelain handle etched mosaic
as the delicate fissures her face and mine.
In the shine
I see her soft and rhythmic stroke
perpetuum,
a movement I to she
whose composition blends and binds to me
Mother,
in my veins
you wrote a rhyme,
verses penned
in the rush of generations
~rush of red-letter days
and lonesome reserve of twilight kisses,
My lyrics sung
on the notes of toil and pride
pinched from time
and tears, honeyed and bittered
A hush
~ hush
To memorize our modulation
as we sing this final round of two,
this melody rising, each in separate measure,
to end upon
my single note,
sustained
and unwavering

Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.

One of the most known fountains of Heraklion, point of reference for its inhabitants, but also for the visitors.
Today it is one of the most beautiful monuments of the city situated at the center of the most busy square - Eleftherios Venizelos sq. - of the town
The Venetian General Provisioner of Candia (Crete and Iraklion in Venetian times) Francesco Morosini ordered and supervised its construction in 1628. He managed to bring water from the Archanes' springs to the thirsty town of Heraklion through a complicated - for that period - system of pipelines and channels.
The eight-lobe cistern, which is based on a special stand, is decorated with embossed mythological depictions and maritime figures like tritons, dolphins and various coats of arms, while the water was flowing from the mouths of four lions. At the very top of the fountain there was a supernatural statue of Poseidon that was standing out but fell probably due to an earthquake.
During the Turkish period the fountain went into a vulgar modulation with the addition of a baldachin (ciborium) around it which was later taken away.
Morosini, on the occasion of the inauguration coined a special medal with his figure from one side and the fountain on the other.

OSC is an installation dealing with interference, slicing time and the perception of time itself that tests the senses of the viewer. Interference and stroboscopic patterns give a new dimension to the perception and experience of time. The audiovisual overload of OSC sheds light on the question how our sensory apparatus constructs meaningful experiences from information without reference.
Ulf Langheinrich (D) founded the media art collaboration Granular Synthesis together with Kurt Hentschläger. They collaborated on numerous large scale immersive installations such as Modell5, Noisegate and Areal. Since 2003 Langheinrich has realised several solo projects aimed at achieving a direct sensory impact. They focus on creating specific modulations of the projected material in time and in the projection-space, and effecting interference movements between the perceptive and processing potential of the eye-brain-apparatus.
12 Interlocking Irregular Hyperboloidal Dodecahedra 360 units
3-fold view.
Following an initial prototype with only a singular unit type which attempted a hexahedral symmetry analog of 30 Dodecahedra, I developed this more nuanced version, which has a different exterior weaving pattern and multiple paper proportions. However, as a constraint, I attempted to use only one pocket type for all of the units. This makes some vertices different than others in terms of the dihedral angles of the surrounding units, but the edges shafts are long enough to accommodate modulation between vertices without appreciable difficulty in most cases. This is constructed via scaffolding so that each dodecahedron represents one edge of a cube. The resulting compound is at the time of writing this, the largest interlocking origami cubic symmetry wireframe compound by unit count that I know of.
Designed by me.

BNSF has been installing these trackside units system-wide for some time. They all have this very long low band antenna. It appears that they transmit nationwide on the frequency 44.58 MHz and use 20K0F1D digital modulation. They apparently are used to forward detector info to an off site receiver and possibly into the train itself as part of the PTC system. I have heard that they are connected to a switch status monitoring device but also may relay info from other wayside detectors such as hot box, dragging equipment, and so on. I believe the radios are made by MeteorComm and the antennas are made by Morad. The tall tower in the background is one of the 4 towers for the AM station on 670 kHz in the Denver area.
William Hazlitt, writing in 1823, described the colors of the costume worn by the sitter in this memorable portrait as resembling 'the leaves and flower of the water-lily, and so clear'. The drawing and modeling are equally assured in the firm delineation of the features and the gentle modulation of light. The tilt of the head and the angle of the shoulders provide a distinctive characterization for this unknown figure. Similar attention has been given to the costume with its slashed sleeves, puff shoulders, embroidered chemise and elegant headgear. The artist has combined the simplicity of form, attention to detail and high degree of finish often associated with his work. However, it lacks the abstract qualities of Bronzino's mature portraits which transcend a feeling of reality in favor of the metaphysical.
An attribution to Bronzino has not been universally accepted and some scholars have favored an artist from north Italy, specifically from Emilia or Lombardy. The mitigating factor in such an argument lies in the costume which is not Central Italian in style. If the portrait is by Bronzino, then it must be early in date, between the 'Portrait of a Lady with a Lap-dog' (Frankfurt, Städelsches Kunstinstitut) or the 'Portrait of a Boy with a Book', dating from the early 1530's (Milan, Castello Sforzesca, Trivulzio collection), and the 'Portrait of a Young Man with a Lute' (Florence, Uffizi) or the 'Portrait of Ugolino Martelli', dating from the mid-1530's (Berlin, Staatliche Museen). It was at the beginning of this decade that Bronzino worked in Pesaro for the court of Urbino (1530-2) and it is possible that he took the opportunity to travel in Emilia, to places like Bologna, Ferrara or Modena. Alternatively, north Italian fashions could have been seen in the Marches, either at Urbino itself or in Pesaro, owing to the strong dynastic connections between Italian courts.

So I moulded and casted an improved cockpit from my vac-formed master, cleaned it up, and hey, not bad!
All credit for the electronics and programming work goes to my dad, who is just roughing out the sequencing for the micropython system. He assures me the modulation and frequency can be made a lot smoother, but these tests are just to understand what we're trying to acheive
