Faster, Higher (paper)

This paper was based on a 5-screen moving image installation work called 'Faster, Higher' originally commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and BFI Southbank, for a solo exhibition at BFI Southbank Gallery in 2008. It also referred to a visual essay of the same name, published in Hillary Powell & Isaac Marrero eds. The Art of Dissent. London: Marshgate Press, 2012

In relation to the notion of ‘(In)Direct Speech’ A - Y might also be seen as a series of momentary tactics, that speak directly and indirectly to ideas and contradictions of ‘Chineseness’

Citius, Altius (single-channel video work commissioned for the Samsung IOC Olympics Media Art Collection)

Citius, Altius (2012) is a 10 mins, split-screen single-channel video work, commissioned by the London/Seoul-based agency SUUM Project, for the Samsung IOC Olympics Media Art Collection. Citius, Altius takes as its point of departure the artist’s earlier 5-screen moving image installation, Faster, Higher, originally commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and BFI (2008). It is one of nine pieces commissioned for the Samsung IOC Olympics Media Art Collection, alongside work by Kota Ezawa, Cao Fei, Yeondoo Jung, Kimsooja, Torsten Lauschmann, Emily Wardill, Hiraki Sawa and Kyungwoo Chun. The collection premiered at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, (11-12 August 2012), as a weekend of screenings under the title Blue Crystal Ball. Blue Crystal Ball was then presented as part of the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) Festival in Manchester, in the form of an exhibition at the Holden Gallery, Manchester Metropolitan University (30 August-20 September 2012

Counting Your Customers the Easy Way: An Alternative to the Pareto/NBD Model

Today’s managers are very interested in predicting the future purchasing patterns of their customers, which can then serve as an input into “lifetime value” calculations. Among the models that provide such capabilities, the Pareto/NBD “counting your customers” framework proposed by Schmittlein et al. (1987) is highly regarded. However, despite the respect it has earned, it has proven to be a difficult model to implement, particularly because of computational challenges associated with parameter estimation. We develop a new model, the beta-geometric/NBD (BG/NBD), which represents a slight variation in the behavioral “story” associated with the Pareto/NBD but is vastly easier to implement. We show, for instance, how its parameters can be obtained quite easily in Microsoft Excel. The two models yield very similar results in a wide variety of purchasing environments, leading us to suggest that the BG/NBD could be viewed as an attractive alternative to the Pareto/NBD in most applications

Coulomb Drag as a Probe of the Nature of Compressible States in a Magnetic Field

Magneto-drag reveals the nature of compressible states and the underlying interplay of disorder and interactions. At \nu=3/2 a clear T^{4/3} dependence is observed, which signifies the metallic nature of the N=0 Landau level. In contrast, drag in higher Landau levels reveals an additional contribution, which anomalously grows with decreasing T before turning to zero following a thermal activation law. The anomalous drag is discussed in terms of electron-hole asymmetry arising from disorder and localization, and the crossover to normal drag at high fields as due to screening of disorder.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
