March 10, 2021 Study Finds That People Don’t Understand Proportions A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge suggests that people have difficulty understanding proportions, especially when it comes to understanding how changes in one quantity can affect the proportions of other quantities. The researchers found that people’s understanding of proportions was generally poor, and that they often failed to take into account the magnitude of changes when assessing the relative proportions of two different quantities. The study also showed that people’s ability to assess proportions was significantly influenced by their level of mathematical knowledge, as well as their level of education. The study, which was published in the journal Psychological Science, involved a series of experiments in which participants were asked to compare two quantities and determine the magnitude of the difference in proportion between them. The researchers found that people were more likely to underestimate the magnitude of the difference between two quantities if the difference was small, and were more likely to overestimate the difference if the difference was large. The study also found that people’s understanding of proportions was significantly affected by their level of mathematical knowledge, as well as their level of education. The findings of this study suggest that people may need to be more aware of
Victor Burgin at Cristin Tierney - Artforum International
In 1967, Victor Burgin typed some instructions on a pair of index cards: “A path along the floor, of proportions 1x21 units, photographed. Photographs printed to actual size of objects and prints attached to floor so that images are perfectly congruent with their objects.” He called it Photopath, first realizing the piece on the coarse hardwood of a friend’s home in Nottingham, England. A one-to-one map in the style of Borges, the work served as a kind of Conceptual catwalk, testing new strategies of site specificity, self-reflexivity, and dematerialization. Despite quick entry to the canon—abetted
Shaker-style Lap Desk – Lost Art Press
Fig. 4.1.5. I chose a proportion based on the intended use of this lap desk as the starting point for my design. The following is excerpted from George Walker and Jim Tolpin's first book collaboration, "By Hand & Eye." (The projects in the book, including this one, are by Tolpin.) It's the book that kicked…
Tod Lippy on Henry Shum - Artforum International
The process of falling asleep has been described by scientist Nathaniel Kleitman as dormiveglia—a succession of intermediate states, “part wakefulness and part sleep in varying proportions.”While this transition manifests differently in each individual, here’s how I experience it: With my eyes closed, I wait for an image to appear. It’s nothing I will into existence, but rather something that materializes gradually on its own terms—a faint, glimmering outline of another person, a distant landscape, an undulating abstract form—charged by the shimmering phosphenes generated by my retinas. As I “

Ndayé Kouagou at Sundy - Artforum International
Ndayé Kouagou’s exhibition “Direction, Direction?” is part inner monologue, part influencer-speak. The artist riffs on our tendency to overthink decision-making and to embrace superstition (tarot readings, flipping coins) to predict the future.Central to the exhibition is the film A coin is a coin, 2022, which is set in a production studio with two light tripods framing the scene. The artist, clad in a dynamically proportioned yellow-and-gray suit, takes on a nonbinary identity to blur possible boundaries and deflect attention from any linear or binary influences that could thwart the decision-making
