  1. 1. Dark Ecology: Obscurities Illuminated

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Nadja Gollbo; [2024]
    Keywords : dark ecology; object-oriented ontology; internal critique; political theory; speculative realism; ecological philosophy; environmental issues;

    Abstract : This study investigates “dark ecology” – an ecological theory formulated by Timothy Morton, based on an object-oriented ontology and claimed to offer a new perspective on how humans can and should coexist with other “objects” in the world in a better, less hostile way. Dark ecology is a critique of both an anthropocentric and a biocentric worldview, aiming to erase the dichotomy between human/nature and subject/object. READ MORE

  2. 2. Comparing the Locality Preservation of Z-order Curves and Hilbert Curves

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Alex Nordin; Adam Telles; [2023-08-03]
    Keywords : space-filling curve; software engineering; software testing;

    Abstract : Developing and testing software in the automotive industry and in the research of autonomous vehicles requires the costly querying of multidimensional data recorded from such a vehicle’s various sensors. Through encoding such data using space filling curves, faster queries could be achieved by reducing multiple dimensions into a singular dimension, while exploiting the patterns that emerge in the one-dimensional representation to still get accurate search results.

  3. 3. Systematically Analyzing Synthetic Automotive Data to support Space Filling Curves-based Maneuver Detection

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Alexandre Rancati-Palmer; Christopher Axt; [2023-08-03]
    Keywords : Morton; Carla; autonomous driving; edge case;

    Abstract : Context: In autonomous driving system development, the identification of maneuvers within large datasets is progressively becoming more complex, primarily due to the inherent complexity arising from the multidimensional nature of the data describing these maneuvers. In this context, algorithms based on Space-Filling Curves can be an effective way to index datasets by creating a single-dimensional representation of the maneuvers. READ MORE

  4. 4. Towards a new aesthetics of care : a critical reading of Nassauer’s cues to care

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Jack Richold; [2023]
    Keywords : cues to care; Joan Nassauer; Timothy Morton; strange stranger; sublime; scenic; broken windows; ecological function; aesthetics of care; design through maintenance;

    Abstract : Joan Nassauer’s concept of cues to care has been influential within landscape design since her seminal essay Messy Ecosystems, Orderly Frames was published in 1995 and her research is often used to justify the need for marking landscapes as owned, although there have been critical voices too. The enduring popularity of cues to care as a design method is due to how open it is to interpretation, and this thesis examines various landscape interventions that can be classed as cues to care, both explicitly and implicitly.
