Negotiating Hybridity in the Work of Lalla Essaydi: An Exploration of Gaze
Creators: name: Darrow, Susannah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The photographic work of contemporary Moroccan artist, Lalla Essaydi, embodies a new artistic hybridity that reflects her nomadic, globalized background. With this work, the artist employs visual symbolism and uses multiple forms of artistic media as a means to analyze her multicultural background. Throughout her series, which spans 2004-present, Essaydi uses both literal and metaphorical representations of space and self as a means to examine the multifacetedness of her national identity and the many gazes that define that identity. She uses artistic production as a means of mediating the collective experiences of her identity in order to negotiate and construct a revised image of self.
Embracing Identity And Narrative In Art For Self-empowerment
Creators: name: Perkins, Zalika
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: This arts-based thesis will explore ethnic identity and narrative in symbolic self-portraiture as themes for a body of work. This paper will discuss how identity and narrative play an important role in the empowerment of the artist and viewer. It will also show how this can be incorporated into an art classroom engaged in multicultural learning and the study of visual culture to empower students and give them opportunities to narrate their life stories.
Approach: Romancing the Inanimate
Creators: name: Gray Hines, Julia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Objects intended as elements in interior spaces generally do a great job of meeting the standard criteria of form and function, but they can do more. By becoming something other than what they normally are, common elements can change a viewer's response to the space itself. This subtle but unexpected expression by an object impacts the viewer on many levels, heightening awareness and changing the viewer's cognitive interpretation of the space itself. This document examines the activation of space through objects capable of responding to a viewer's presence, using as a focus a light fixture that uses motion sensors to trigger sequential lighting responses in different locations, which move from low to high activity states. This object and its changing states are designed to engage viewers and provoke interaction. Such a reaction fundamentally reshapes the space the light fixture inhabits by actively transforming it into a playfully experiential environment.
Arts Integration: Models and Methods in Elementary Art Education
Creators: name: LONG, BRIANA
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis addresses the methods and models of current arts integrated education curricula and their basic frameworks. The review of the literature surveys information currently available on the subject of arts integration, focusing on applicable models, theories, and the results of specific educational applications. This study compares details from non-traditional models, allowing other educators a glimpse of various arts integrated strategies that might be incorporated into their own schools. A basic and modified arts integrated art education curriculum model is suggested in order to encourage educators to create the most appropriate model for their instruction, ultimately allowing students to achieve higher level thinking and learning through the arts, as well as cross-curriculum integration.
Nothing Good without Pain: Hans Memling's Earthly Vanity and Divine Salvation
Creators: name: Piorko, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Hans Memling’s polyptych, Earthly Vanity and Divine Salvation, presents many art historical issues. In my thesis, I have addressed the scholarly debate about the original construction of the currently separated six extant panels of this work. I have also attempted to put this object in its original context by considering contemporary religious movements and painting customs, identifying the patron and examining the artist, and exploring themes within the imagery in the framework of Early Modern devotional practice.
Axis - A Theoretical Approach to Allegorical Pictorialism, Minimalist Ideologies, and Expressionism in Contemporary Photography.
Creators: name: King, David
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This Thesis explores the historical foundations and contemporary context of the photographic series titled Axis.  Within Axis are vestiges of traditional Pictorial photography endowed with theories of minimalism and expressionism, which invites the audience to expand its insight from what it can see, to what it can understand, both visually and mentally.  I will discuss how these influences have changed traditional pictorialism and will focus this series’ trajectory.  In examining the works of Axis, the theory, its active practice, and principle of this series become clear. This practice, vested with craft mastery, allegorical study, and symbolism, calls to question photography’s long-standing fine art status and contemporary photographic trends.
Marginal scenes and the changing face of the urban public library : The Vancouver Downtown Eastside’s Carnegie
Creators: name: Mickiewicz, Paulina
Publisher: name: Observatorio (OBS*) Journal
Year: 2019

description: Through an analysis of one of North America’s earliest Carnegie libraries, located in Vancouver, the aim of this article is to question increasingly antiquated discourses of the urban public library as a static cultural institution in order to ascertain how contemporary urban libraries are both representative and generative media institutions that are increasingly central to marginalized urban communities. Marginalized communities, such as those living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, are often overlooked as contributing to the cultural fabric of a city. The Carnegie Library is a site in which precarious, often pre-defined publics, whose members already suffer from established forms of discrimination and exclusion, come together to form a new iteration of the scene (Straw, 2004). I will argue that marginalization, when integrated into a semi-public space and institution such as the Carnegie Community Centre, creates a generative scene that holds the potential of fostering nascent forms of both cultural and political association and education amongst marginalized groups themselves. As a result, the contemporary urban public library emerges as a responsive medium of communication in its own right that is shaped by its siting across distinct urban environments.

Photography: A Communication Tool
Creators: name: Ballenger, Holly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: There are limited resources available for art teachers wishing to implement a photography curriculum that focus on social justice. Since the camera is a highly effective communicative tool, students should be encouraged to vocalize their understanding of how to better society through visual images. This research highlights the significance of photography and its ability to change the manner in which people view the world. The culminating product of this research is a downloadable PDF that features both contemporary and historical artists and organizations that have used photography to express social justice. The aim of this research is to promote photography to administrators, supporters, local communities, and students. Art teachers are encouraged to use the advocacy resource provided to promote social justice in their photography program.

Establishing 21st Century Expressionisim
Creators: name: Messina, Philip
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Within my thesis I propose to establish the existence of what I call 21st century expressionism. This genre of art is an extension of the movement that began in 20th century post-war America. 21st century expressionists create works that are intended to promote emotional responses within the viewer. “The term ``expressionism'' can be used to describe various art forms but, in its broadest sense, it is used to describe any art that raises subjective feelings above objective observations. Its aim is to reflect the artists’ state of mind rather than the reality of the external world”. Lee Krasner and Tony Smith, represent prime examples of 20th century expressionists and, Etsuko Ishikawa and Beth Cavener Stichter represent artists of 21st century expressionism.
Taking Care: An Exploration of Care Through Art and Intimacy
Creators: name: Van Deusen, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Care, commonly defined as attentiveness, concern, or interest, manifests itself diversely. From the emotions and exchanges between loved ones to the performance of basic actions like eating and sleeping, care is intrinsic to the human experience. My recent body of conceptual artwork, “Taking Care,” draws on historical traditions of ritual and craftsmanship to explore and elaborate upon the endemic occurrences of caretaking in my life and intimate relationships. “Taking Care” presents evidence, artifacts, and reflections of the needs and instances in my life that have required care, and their corresponding responses, through the use of video, painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. These artworks seek to question and quantify the meaning and significance of commonplace care rituals, by using both direct documentation of care such as hair remnants or videos of cleaning and traditional art mediums like drawing or sculpture.
Enhancing Knowledge Tracing with Concept Map and Response Disentanglement
Creators: name: Park, Soonwook

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In the rapidly advancing realm of educational technology, it becomes critical to accurately trace and understand student knowledge states. Conventional Knowledge Tracing (KT) models have mainly focused on binary responses (i.e., correct and incorrect answers) to questions. Unfortunately, they largely overlook the essential information in students' actual answer choices, particularly for Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), which could help reveal each learner's misconceptions or knowledge gaps. To tackle these challenges, we propose the Concept map-driven Response disentanglement method for enhancing Knowledge Tracing (CRKT) model. CRKT benefits KT by directly leveraging answer choices--beyond merely identifying correct or incorrect answers--to distinguish responses with different incorrect choices. We further introduce the novel use of unchosen responses by employing disentangled representations to get insights from options not selected by students. Additionally, CRKT tracks the student's knowledge state at the concept level and encodes the concept map, representing the relationships between them, to better predict unseen concepts. This approach is expected to provide actionable feedback, improving the learning experience. Our comprehensive experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate CRKT's effectiveness, achieving superior performance in prediction accuracy and interpretability over state-of-the-art models.

Identity Construction and the Post-Museum of Burning Man: Exploring David Best's 2012 Temple of Juno
Creators: name: Langley, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Since 2000, artists have built elaborate temple structures in the Black Rock Desert during the annual Burning Man festival, the purpose of which is to act as ritualized spaces to experience catharsis by way of contemporary death rites. The temple is destroyed on the last day of the week-long event. The method by which both the space of Burning Man in the desert and the temple structure operate is by facilitating a negotiation in participant identity through liminality and self-enacted identity negotiation, both of which, as well as the event and the art, are ephemeral. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the 2012 Burning Man Festival (themed “Fertility 2.0”) with a specific focus on the Temple of Juno by artist David Best. This thesis will examine how this artifact is activated through a multiplicity of audience participation while simultaneously allowing the participants to further explore their negotiated identity.
A Part of the Whole
Creators: name: Choi, Namwon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: My thesis exhibition, ‘A PART OF THE WHOLE,’ explores self-portraiture by assembling paintings of close-up images of my skin from underappreciated body parts. I paint the textures of my hands and feet as evidence of artistic labor striving for the continuation of artistic creativity. The thesis exhibition includes conventional paintings assembled paintings, installations, and items from the studio. The easels serve two purposes: presenting the paintings and functioning as metaphorical backbone supporting skin paintings. Lastly, a cast of my own face serves as a death mask that functions as an authentic seal of artistic authorship for my thesis exhibition.
Transcriptomics in Early and Invasive Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Synthory AI
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This systematic review explores the role of transcriptomics in early and invasive breast cancer, focusing on gene expression profiling, microRNAs, and tumor microenvironment interactions. Using Synthory.AI, 31 articles from PubMed and PubMed Central™ were analyzed to assess the prognostic utility of the 21-gene Recurrence Score and miRNA signatures. The findings underscore their potential in patient stratification and clinical decision-making. However, challenges such as small sample sizes and retrospective data limit the generalizability of results. Future research should emphasize larger cohorts and prospective designs to enhance biomarker validation and clinical relevance, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes.

Creators: name: Ames, Curtis
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Unfictional describes the philosophical underpinnings of specific strategies and processes that led to the thesis exhibition of the same name. The defense provided examines the contemporary notion of the ideal, acknowledges its impossibility, and describes how the use of obstruction as a procedural and curatorial strategy functions to produce failed attempts at its attainment, deferring satisfaction and evoking the sense that everything is complete. The forms, constructed from both found traditional and nontraditional materials, which exist in various states of completion, will be analyzed thoroughly in order to demonstrate how the unfinished, provisional nature of the works included in the exhibition ultimately functions as commentary on the loss, the longing, and most of all the doubt, associated with the modern conception of the ideal.
Lost & Found
Creators: name: Speight, Diane
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Digital technology has expanded the designer’s creative reach, but cannot duplicate the complexity of the imperfect and unexpected results of handmade processes. By executing a series of hand-built collage and assemblage pieces, I hope to not only rediscover the pleasure of working with my hands but also to develop creative methods to incorporate into future design projects. In this body of work, I have manually executed tasks that designers perform with software — cutting, pasting, layering, aligning, and creating transparency and drop shadows. The pieces are built from new and found materials, using text and images from old family letters and photos — physical evidence of relationships from my childhood and those of my parents and grandparents. These pieces express fragments of memories and family history.

Attempting To Adequately Position Elements as Analogies within a Defined Field
Creators: name: Griffin, Kojo
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of my Thesis is to further develop an artistic practice that involves a thoughtful, drawn out engagement with culture, utilizing immediacy, temporality and improvisation through the formal manipulation of different mediums. My research focuses on these ideas as a continual thread that runs through my work of the past twenty years and gives conceptual unity to the range of stylistic experiments that have come with my growth as an artist. The end result is collage, painting, video and installation that utilizes both the literal and parabolical tearing, cutting and pasting of elements together as analogies within a defined field. The defined field being both the formal area of the work, as well as the conceptual representation of my individual consciousness as expressed through my process. Moving between abstraction and representation allows me to sample my thoughts and present them through a methodology that is consistent with the cognitive interplay of abstract and representative thought.
Speakable and unspeakable in quantum measurements

name: Alonso, D.
name: Brouard, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum mechanics, in its orthodox version, imposes severe limits on what can be known, or even said, about the condition of a quantum system between two observations. A relatively new approach, based on so-called "weak measurements", suggests that such forbidden knowledge can be gained by studying the system's response to an inaccurate weakly perturbing measuring device. It goes further to propose revising the whole concept of physics variables, and offers various examples of counterintuitive quantum behaviour. Both views go to the very heart of quantum theory, and yet are rarely compared directly. A new technique must either transcend the orthodox limits, or just prove that these limits are indeed necessary. We study both possibilities, and find for the orthodoxy.

Temporary Use of Pop-Up Environment’s Potential for Repurposing Neglected Buildings and Spaces
Creators: name: Horne, Mary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This paper puts forward a new approach to the revitalization of vacant and neglected buildings and spaces by introducing the use of temporary pop-up environments. The initial research establishes groundwork for pop-up environments and temporary use, while pointing to their potential. Records from specialists, Florian Haydn, Robert Temel, and Philipp Oswalt, exhibit various types of temporary uses and interim strategies. Strategies are displayed in their selection of sites and operation. These strategic approaches will support transitioning space and present interim projects, which have the prospect of utilizing space as a secondary means, while a more primary use of space is in development.
The case studies will demonstrate the temporary use strategies and social factors, which may establish new meaning to facilitate change. By presenting possibilities of repurposing through temporary and interim uses, there is the opportunity for renewal and averting the dependence on massive (re)development, sustaining a city’s heritage.
Exploring How Narrative and Symbolic Art Impacts Artist, Researcher, Teacher and Communicates Meaning in Art to Students
Creators: name: Eskew, Dorothy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This educational study on narrative and symbolic art and its impact on me as artist, researcher, and teacher and ultimately how the use of narrative and symbolism impacts student learning was conducted throughout the school year 2013-2014 in the environment of both my home and my classroom in a south metro Atlanta high school.  The research is based on my reflections of my artistic processes, my research of family history, and  my observations as I introduced narrative and symbolic art in the classroom.
The findings of the study reveal that the roles of artist, teacher, and researcher are significantly interrelated and enhance one another; I also believe that my students’ learning was impacted.
 While students are at first assigned narrative and symbolic art projects, many begin to extrapolate that art is more meaningful to them when it has a story to tell or includes symbolism with which they associate importance.

description: Prompting has become a practical method for utilizing pre-trained language models (LMs). This approach offers several advantages. It allows an LM to adapt to new tasks with minimal training and parameter updates, thus achieving efficiency in both storage and computation. Additionally, prompting modifies only the LM's inputs and harnesses the generative capabilities of language models to address various downstream tasks in a unified manner. This significantly reduces the need for human labor in designing task-specific models. These advantages become even more evident as the number of tasks served by the LM scales up. Motivated by the strengths of prompting, we are the first to explore the potential of prompting speech LMs in the domain of speech processing. Recently, there has been a growing interest in converting speech into discrete units for language modeling. Our pioneer research demonstrates that these quantized speech units are highly versatile within our unified prompting framework. Not only can they serve as class labels, but they also contain rich phonetic information that can be re-synthesized back into speech signals for speech generation tasks. Specifically, we reformulate speech processing tasks into speech-to-unit generation tasks. As a result, we can seamlessly integrate tasks such as speech classification, sequence generation, and speech generation within a single, unified prompting framework. The experiment results show that the prompting method can achieve competitive performance compared to the strong fine-tuning method based on self-supervised learning models with a similar number of trainable parameters. The prompting method also shows promising results in the few-shot setting. Moreover, with the advanced speech LMs coming into the stage, the proposed prompting framework attains great potential.

Making Our Marks: An Autoethnographic Exploration of Teaching Art as a Relational Process
Creators: name: Gill, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is an autoethnographic investigation of interactions I have had with my students as a first-year art educator and the ways in which these interactions have led me to recall memories of my own experience as a student in art. Employing a metaphor of "teaching as mutual mark making," I present these interactions as "sketches," which refer to and reflect the ongoing and unfinished nature of memory and experience. My exploration of memory as it relates to teaching and learning has led me to advocate for art education based on relationships between teacher and student, as well as the relationship between the educator and his or her own learning experiences.
A Catalyst Toward Caring: Middle School Art Lessons that Embrace the Value of Compassion
Creators: name: Stovall, Lauren
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This study discusses the importance of theories of care that are especially relevant to students in middle school art classes. Middle school students are going through an increasing number of changes emotionally, mentally, and cognitively that can be explored through an art curriculum that teaches them the value of caring for themselves and others, while also meeting their developmental needs. In this thesis research, teaching strategies are discussed that will cultivate an environment of care in the middle school classroom. This information will be used in the construction of developmentally sequenced art lessons that put these caring attitudes, strategies, and practices into action through art studio and criticism lessons incorporating the national art education standards.
Art Education in Finland and the United States: A Qualitative Inquiry into Teacher Perceptions
Creators: name: Knight, Lauren
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to gain insights into the educational system in Finland, where art seem to be valued, and America, where it seems to struggle. I first studied how policies that promote a business-like ideology and standardized testing in schools have impacted art education in the United States. Then I investigated Finland’s educational system, which does not rely on standardized testing to monitor student learning and teachers. During my research I noticed that Finland uses a noncompetitive approach to education, which I assumed was connected to the art Folk School that originated in Denmark and moved throughout Europe. Based upon this information, I anticipated that art education was valued more in Finland than in the United States. I also anticipated that Finland’s educational success had a connection to its non-competitive system and its inclusion of the arts. In order to explore this idea, I investigated Finland’s approach to art education by interviewing Finnish professionals in the art education field.

The Nine-Week Bridge: A Middle School Art Curriculum with Focus on the Development of Drawing Skills
Creators: name: Mitchell, Julie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis presents a visual art curriculum designed to address specific developmental stages and desires of creative and cognitive growth of art students in grades six and seven over the duration of a nine-week session in a public middle school. It is intended as an instructional resource for middle school visual arts teaching practitioners to guide their sixth and seventh grade students to develop greater proficiency towards the mastery of drawing skills with activities that promote those skills at the time when many learners often express great interest in learning to draw more realistically. The study and practice of drawing allows invaluable opportunity for students to learn to analyze, sustain focus and concentration, compare and contrast, observe closely, expand upon ideas in a creative manor, and utilize the combined efforts of our two most powerful human tools; our minds and our hands.
Gender and the Collaborative Artist Couple

description: The aromatic infrared Bands (AIBs) dominate the mid-infrared spectra of many galactic and extragalactic sources. These AIBs are generally attributed to fluorescent emission from aromatic molecules. Unified efforts from experimentalists and theoreticians to assign these AIB features have recently gotten additional impetus with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) delivers mid-IR spectrum with greatly increased sensitivity and spectral resolution. PAHs in space can exist in either neutral or ionic forms, absorb UV photons and undergo fragmentation, becoming a rich source of small hydrocarbons. This top-down mechanism of larger PAHs fragmenting into smaller species is of utmost importance in photo-dissociation regions (PDR) in space. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically investigate the photo-fragmentation pathways of two astronomically significant PAH cations - corannulene (C20H10) and sumanene (C21H12) that are structural motifs of fullerene C60, to understand their sequential fragmentation pathways. The photo-fragmentation experiments exhibit channels that are much different from planar PAHs. The breakdown of carbon skeleton is found to have different pathways for C20H10 and C21H12 because of the number and positioning of pentagon rings; yet the most abundant low mass cations produced by these two species are found to be similar. The low mass cations showcased in this work could be of interest for their astronomical detections. For completeness, the qualitative photo fragmentation behaviour of the dicationic corannulene and sumanene have also been experimented, but the potential energy surface of these dications are beyond the scope of this paper.

description: This thesis is an autoethnography of an elementary art teacher who has transitioned from a traditional, teacher-led curriculum to a choice-based model where more freedom and responsibilities are given to the students. It is an account of the challenges and obstacles faced during the implementation of a choice-based curriculum and offers possible solutions, teaching strategies, and tips utilized to navigate the transition.
Using The Old To Speak To The New: An Appropriative Studio Approach
Creators: name: Batterman, David
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is an A/R/Tographically-based investigation of my appropriative studio approach, resulting in a series of multi-media collage works entitled Tonight’s Programming, dealing with issues of militarism and commercialism in our everyday lives. Through research regarding appropriation in art history, examination of personal artistic influences, and regarding the work through the lenses of Artist, Researcher, and Teacher, I gained a deeper insight into not only my appropriative practices, but how these practices could be applied in the high school art classroom.
Disneyland, Suburbia, and Drugs: The Futility of Escaping Reality in the Art of Camille Rose Garcia
Creators: name: Grant, Erin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Contemporary American “lowbrow” painter Camille Rose Garcia’s paintings from 2000 to 2004 depict dystopic toxic fantasy worlds where cartoon girls and animals are persecuted by evil creatures. Garcia’s sociopolitical messages in these works speak to the futility and irresponsibility of attempting to escape reality through retreating into isolated fantasy worlds or by abusing legal pharmaceuticals. The artificial utopias of Disneyland and suburbia and the utopic psychological space created by drug use assumed to be reality are rather simulacra as conceptualized by Jean Baudrillard. Garcia’s work asks viewers to set aside the desire to flee reality and encourages ideological rejection of these simulacra as reality by introducing fantastic and dystopian polysemy that disrupts prevailing notions of reality and exposes the systemic causes of current sociopolitical problems. For Garcia, a populace that continues blindly to accept Baudrillardian simulacra as reality will lead to the chaos and violence she depicts in her work.
The Decorative Program of the Eighteenth-Dynasty Tomb of Pairy (TT 139)
Creators: name: O'Neill, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis will identify what is particularly unusual about the funerary scenes of the eighteenth-dynasty Theban tomb (TT 139) and their chosen location by providing a thorough examination of both the life of the tomb owner, Pairy, and his tomb architecture. Following a discussion of the significance of the tomb chapel's decorative program, I will argue that the abbreviated scenes on two walls adjacent to the passageway to the burial chamber relate to the tomb owner’s safe journey into the underworld. Due to the lack of recent published work on the chapel hall and the deterioration of its paintings, the tomb of Pairy is in dire need of proper, comprehensive study.
Interdisciplinary Infusion in the Discipline Based Middle School Art Classroom
Creators: name: Breazeale, Mary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This research has a primary focus on the middle school setting and how schools, students, and art educators might benefit from an interdisciplinary art curriculum. In this thesis I outline how cross-curricular inclusions in art lessons have the potential to be a fantastic advocacy tool for fine arts departments. I also investigate the differences between interdisciplinary inclusions in the visual art classroom and arts integrated school models as well as the beneficial relationship that can exist between these two pedagogical approaches. Additionally, I examine through literary review and curriculum development, some of the positive and negative influence in academic subject areas and more importantly art disciplines. My final and primary aim in examining various methods of cross-curricular inclusion is to shed light upon the immense potential for student development via dynamic interdisciplinary art curriculum.
Restless
Creators: name: Yamazaki, Ion
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Restless examines my current artistic practice formally and conceptually, and it also analyzes pathways that led to my thesis exhibition of the same name. This paper consists of descriptions of my previous works, conceptual exploration of my current practice, and descriptions of my current works. My intention of my current practice is to explore temporal yet ever-changing human activities that are full of momentary excitement in the futile nature of capitalistic society.

description: Unsupervised anomaly detection in time series is essential in industrial applications, as it significantly reduces the need for manual intervention. Multivariate time series pose a complex challenge due to their feature and temporal dimensions. Traditional methods use Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) or Transformers to analyze spatial while RNNs to model temporal dependencies. These methods focus narrowly on one dimension or engage in coarse-grained feature extraction, which can be inadequate for large datasets characterized by intricate relationships and dynamic changes. This paper introduces a novel temporal model built on an enhanced Graph Attention Network (GAT) for multivariate time series anomaly detection called TopoGDN. Our model analyzes both time and feature dimensions from a fine-grained perspective. First, we introduce a multi-scale temporal convolution module to extract detailed temporal features. Additionally, we present an augmented GAT to manage complex inter-feature dependencies, which incorporates graph topology into node features across multiple scales, a versatile, plug-and-play enhancement that significantly boosts the performance of GAT. Our experimental results confirm that our approach surpasses the baseline models on four datasets, demonstrating its potential for widespread application in fields requiring robust anomaly detection. The code is available at https://github.com/ljj-cyber/TopoGDN.

Fracture: Failure as a Path to Utopia in Queer Art and Life
Creators: name: Snyder, Charles
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Reproductive Futurism is the pervasive structuring of politics and society around securing of the future through fealty to a figurative Child. The primary means of the Child’s proliferation is the normalizing of hetero-reproduction, which privileges heterosexuality with validity and meaning. Fracture represents a body of work that illustrates my personal break with these normalizing structures, and through embracing my queer sexuality a refusal of the figurative Child and the future it represents. The work articulates the role sex played in my failure to adhere to (liberation from) normative relational structures, and proposes potential new configurations of bodies and filial bonds born from that failure. The work also represents a material shift in my work from photographic prints to intermedia/installation. The evolution of my process as an artist was informed by my personal transformation; my vision of the world shifted, so too did my material/aesthetic response to that world.
