The listening room, Camden Arts Centre
This version of The Listening Room is minimal, one microphone and two loudspeakers in the Reading Room of Camden Arts Centre, a relatively small space for this work. The Reading Room is the former entrance to the building, this entrance has been bricked over to create three highly reflective wall surfaces in the room.
The room resonance is so pronounced that my usual placement of microphone and speakers would tend to fix on one pitch and stay there - to introduce more of the available frequencies from the space I left the Reading Room table in the space to allow an additional reflective element and used an asymmetric placement of loudspeakers, one at the side and one under the table
From the function-sheaf dictionary to quasicharacters of -adic tori
We consider the rigid monoidal category of character sheaves on a smooth
commutative group scheme over a finite field and expand the scope of
the function-sheaf dictionary from connected commutative algebraic groups to
this setting. We find the group of isomorphism classes of character sheaves on
and show that it is an extension of the group of characters of by a
cohomology group determined by the component group scheme of . We also
classify all morphisms in the category character sheaves on . As an
application, we study character sheaves on Greenberg transforms of locally
finite type N\'eron models of algebraic tori over local fields. This provides a
geometrization of quasicharacters of -adic tori.Comment: Added examples and incorporated referee's suggestions. To be

A workïŹow for document level interoperability
This article describes a software environment called the Exchange Center that helps digital librarians manage the workïŹow of sourcing documents and metadata from various repositories. The software is built on Greenstone but does not require its use as the ïŹnal digital library server. After describing the software architecture we provide two scenarios of its use: a private library of recipes, which ultimately involves collaboration with other cooks; and a digital library that aggregates the collections of various host institutions that use different repository software
How people find videos
At present very little is known about how people locate and view videos 'in the wild'. This study draws a rich picture of everyday video seeking strategies and video information needs, based on an ethnographic study of New Zealand university students. These insights into the participants' activities and motivations suggest potentially useful facilities for a video digital library
The use of paper in everyday student life
The information we encounter in modern life, in developed countries, is a hybrid of the physical and the digital. Personal archiving tools allow users to capture and retrieve aspects of their everyday lives in digital form. In this paper we use a diary study of studentsâ interactions with paper-based information to inform the design of such archiving tools
Exploring social music behaviour: An investigation of music selection at parties
This paper builds an understanding how music is currently listened to by small (fewer than 10 individuals) to medium-sized (10 to 40 individuals) gatherings of peopleâ how songs are chosen for playing, how the music fits in with other activities of group members, who supplies the music, the hardware/software that supports song selection and presentation. This fine-grained context emerges from a qualitative analysis of a rich set of participant observations and interviews focusing on the selection of songs to play at social gatherings. We suggest features for software to support music playing at parties
A review of self-processing biases in cognition
When cues in the environment are associated with self (e.g., oneâs own name, face, or coffee cup), these items trigger processing biases such as increased attentional focus, perceptual prioritization and memorial support. This paper reviews the existing literature on self-processing biases before introducing a series of studies that provide new insight into the influence of the self on cognition. In particular, the studies examine affective and memorial biases for self-relevant stimuli, and their flexible application in response to different task demands. We conclude that self-processing biases function to ensure that self-relevant information is attended to and preferentially processed because this is a perpetual goal of the self-system. However, contrary task-demands or priming can have an attenuating effect on their influence, speaking to the complexity and dynamism of the self-processing system in cognition
Online legacy preservation for humanities researchers
As researchers retire or pass away, the online record of their work and their research careers begins to fragment and fade away. We begin with case studies of four New Zealand Humanities researchers, nearing or at the ends of their active careers. What materials currently exist that they believe are essential to detail the results of their research, and that convey the âstoryâ of their work
Finding video on the web

This study draws a rich picture of everyday video seeking strategies and video information needs, based on an ethnographic study of New Zealand university students.
