Non-representation in infovis
This survey paper explores the concept of non-representation as well as notions of interpretation, performativity, indexicality and discursive practice, hoping to create a solid basis for later practice in visualization within the arts and digital humanities.

Emergence in dance: the performance vs. choreography debate
As part of its computational sensibility, the emergent character of dance is to be found in all creative processes of choreographic and performative thinking.
On melody and voice alignment
The sequence of sounds and the trace they leave in our memory constitute core components of music perception. Melody, the “pitched sounds arranged in musical time,” is a key element in identifying musical works. Another definition of melody, that of a prominent sequence of sounds that is easily distinguished from other synchronous sequences (often of a supporting nature and known as accompaniment) is also of significant value.
Dynamics and waveforms
Dynamics is one of the key features that determine our perception of sound. The amount of energy experienced as "loudness" or "quietness" plays an important role in descriptions of passages and analyses of music pieces.
