Explore creative community transformation with teaching artist Jeff Mather as he shares stories of art, collaboration, and social change in education.Jeff Mather's work as a teaching artist and public art digital storytelling alchemist underscores the vital role of art in fostering community resilience and engagement. The conversation with Bill Cleveland reveals how, despite the challenges posed by recent global events, Mather remains optimistic about the transformative potential of creative collaborations. By reflecting on his experiences in various educational and community settings, he illustrates how art can bridge divides, empower youth, and reinvigorate spaces that have been overlooked or abandoned. His dedication to involving students in the artistic process not only cultivates their creativity but also instills a sense of agency and responsibility for their environment.The episode captures the essence of Mather's philosophy: art is not merely an aesthetic endeavor but a powerful tool for social change. Mather recounts the impactful project in West Baltimore, where he worked with local youth to design and install an environmental sculpture in a park that had long been neglected. This initiative not only beautified the area but also engaged the community in a dialogue about safety, ownership, and the importance of reclaiming shared spaces. Mather's insights into the dynamics of teaching and collaboration highlight the necessity of recognizing and valuing each participant's unique contributions, which ultimately enriches the artistic outcome.Furthermore, the discussion delves into the challenges and rewards of community-based art practices, particularly in relation to trust-building and navigating complex social landscapes. Mather emphasizes the importance of entering communities with humility and a willingness to learn, rather than imposing external solutions. His experiences with Alternate Roots showcase the power of grassroots movements in advocating for social and economic justice through art. As the episode unfolds, it becomes evident that Mather's work embodies a vision of art as a communal endeavor—one that celebrates diversity, fosters connection, and cultivates a shared sense of purpose in navigating the challenges of our times.Key Moments00:18 The Turning Point: Reflections on Change and Future Challenges00:35 Reflections on Creative Change Agents13:59 Alternate ROOTS and Community Engagement22:55 The Impact of Community Engagement in Public Art31:14 Engaging with Community Through Art40:03 The Impact of Art and CommunityBIOJeff is a community-based public artist and teaching artist in Georgia, (and South Carolina and Massachusetts and Utah), for over 30 years.

The Three Spaces of Communication: The Physical Space, The Space of the Senses, and the Virtual Space.How close should you sit or stand to someone? We explore the subtle art of Proxemics and its role in building trust. We explore cross-cultural variations and The Vertical Space that shapes  our classrooms and boardrooms.The Space of the Senses looks at all the personal senses, from your co-worker's strong-smelling office lunch to the volume levels required to be heard and to connect. And then we look at the Virtual Space and how we can easily feel that space being invaded online.Once we understand both these tangible and intangible shared spaces we can learn to build our human connection. We recorded this episode in the studio of our great friend Carlos Santana in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. He has such a great energy and it was a pleasure to record in his studio once again. Thanks Carlos!  https://prosantana.com.mx/Join Robin Kermode and Sian Hansen for another fun episode of this podcast. 

Studies show how people use, react to, configure, and occupy the space around them.  We all want our own space and feel uncomfortable when people violate our personal territory.  While it may sound overly obvious, research shows that many persuaders get too familiar too fast.  Disrespect for your audience's personal space—especially when you are first meeting them – you can't build rapport and cause resistance. Many persuaders don't know they are violating their audience's space. They may think, for example, that by reaching out and touching their audience members on the arm, they will be seen as warm and friendly.  This can turn off and repel your prospect.

This series explores communication in all its forms | This week we'll discuss the use of proximity in your classroom and how it can help you communicate more than just your words can! Topics include appropriate touch, use of classroom seating, and the power you have with your physical position in a room.

2021.12.08 – 0342 – Vocal Proxemics – Part 2So, you have a different voice when you are with your lover in the ‘Intimate Zone' (a very soft level that you might use to tell a secret to a friend or whisper ‘sweet nothings' to a lover), than you use to a room of people in a ‘Public Zone' (a louder volume used in front of lots of people who may be further away). Translate that into the studio situation. The ‘Personal' voice level is one to use when you're neither making-out… nor want to shout. It's this voice level that's best for communicating with people via broadcast, podcast or video. You give the impression you are sharing your thoughts with one single person in the room with you, about 2 metres away – the other side of the studio desk, say. After all, most of your radio or podcast listeners are alone when they consume your content (ok, ‘alone' but multiplied many times over), so simply speak as though you are in the room with one of them, not all of them.Imagine them sitting the other side of the desk in your ‘Personal Zone', and talk to them in that voice. Don't talk to the microphone or to the other side of the room, talk to the empty chair opposite you, and you should get the projection of your voice about right. It's a bit like the ‘point of focus' you have when you are looking at an object depending on how near or far away it is. Let's call it ‘a point of vocus'. Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter StewartThrough these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection and projection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a career spent in TV and radio studios.

2021.12.07 – 0341 – Vocal ProxemicsVocal ProxemicsAssociated with ‘Human Spacing' are our vocal proxemics: the kind of voice we use in each Zone. The further away someone is, the louder and less personal your voice becomes. ‘Proxemics' is a branch of linguistic science which describes the effects of nearness or distance in signalling attitudes. We all[1] have an inbuilt ‘virtual voice volume' dial, which we use to adjust our loudness level depending on what we judge is needed. The brain automatically adjusts our projected voice depending on factors such as, for example:· where the other person is – next to us on the sofa or down the street· how many of them there are – whether we are speaking one-to-one, to 12 people or 200· our familiarity to them – in a bedroom or a boardroom· ambient noise – a silent street or a noisy nightclub· the content or complexity of the message – to give emphasis: “I said NO!”, to whisper a secret· our own assertiveness – self-confident people tend to have louder voices· the urgency of the message – shouting at someone who is right beside us on a pavement “watch out!”· what we want them to think about us – do we want to appear engaging, entertaining, brave or a bully· and our own perception of our ‘personal volume' – we hear our own voice through air passages connecting ear and throat (the ‘eustachian tube') and also through the vibrations in the bones in our head. So, our perception of our voice quality differs greatly from that of others'. [1] Nearly all. Some people are not able to ‘read a situation' and therefore may have a loud voice when engaged in a private conversation, or may speak quietly without picking up clues from the listener that they cannot be clearly heard.Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter StewartThrough these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection and projection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a career spent in TV and radio studios.

Welcome to Keeping It Simple Season 2 Episode 8 where Scott and Luis talk about the idea of partying and social gatherings through the perspective of proxemics. Proxemics is the idea of having layered social spaces. Jesus demonstrates this with a 1 on 1 with God (divine space), the core of 3 (intimate space), the 12 disciples (personal space), 20-72 (social space), and the crowds (public space). The conversation is centered on how to merge these social spaces together in relation to how we spend our time in the holiday season. We hope this episode brings up new ideas and perspectives on relationships and the best way to merge them together for a further missional living! Thank you for listening!

Proxemics is a noun that refers to the study of the space people need to put between each other in order to function. The Latin word Proximus (PROX ee moose) means ‘nearest.’ This has given birth to words like ‘approximate’ and ‘proximity.’ Our word of the day is related to these words, but it refers to a more formal study. An example of its use is: I didn’t understand all the crowding that existed in many of those large Asian cities until I studied the proxemics of the situation. Once I grasped the reasons for all that crowding, it made perfect sense.

Are you a Seinfeld fan?  Have you seen the episode of the close talker?  Is that you?  Are you sure?  Do you know others that consistently violate your space?  Let’s talk about proxemics or the science of space. Do you want to discover additional insights and techniques on space, touch, handshakes and what repels others?   If you want to get more persuasion tools - listen to this week’s podcast on How Space, Touch, and Proxemics Can Attract or Repel Your Prospect.  

Nowadays, it's not uncommon for coaches to refer to themselves as teachers. When it comes to relating to people, fostering a learning environment, creating buy-in and adapting to change, this comparison isn't far from the truth. And yet, there is still so much we can learn from the teaching profession. All of this to say, I am so glad to have my good friend Heidi Morrison on the show today… As an Assistant Principal at Centennial High School (Fulton County, GA), Heidi has worked with more than 10,000 adults over her 23-year career. With a background in special education, leadership and career advising, Heidi gives us unique insight into the ever-changing role of teachers and administrators. Join us as we discuss: Designing buildings and spaces to create comfort and buy-in Proxemics and using your “dark side” Should we try to “catch-up” up post-COVID-19? Managing change within a 90,000 student school district Guided discovery and the flipped classroom Heidi is the perfect example of how communication and people skills can benefit people in every profession. Regardless of your role, be sure to check out our online courses for more... For example, Bought In (our flagship course), helps you develop an action plan to start creating greater buy-in while understanding the psychological principles that underpin human behavior.

Unless you’ve been living under a proverbial rock in the photography world, you’ve likely heard the quote attributed to Robert Capa “If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.” Well, as it so happens, there’s some science behind the photojournalist great’s piece of advice.So, you’ve clicked on this episode of Photo Forward and you’re wondering – what in the hell is “Proxemics” and what could that possibly do for growing my photography career? Let’s dive in and learn a little something about the science of personal space in photographer.Coined way back in 1963, anthropologist Edward T Hall describe the phenomenon of Proxemics as “The interrelated observation and theories of humans use of space as a specialized elaboration of culture.” That’s a bit of word soup, so let's break down the whole system.Essentially, when you're interacting with other folks in your normal day-to-day existence, there's four “ranges” of space between any two people (from farthest to nearest): Public distance (12 to 25 ft), Social distance (4 to 12 ft), Personal distance (1.51 to 4 ft) and (bow chicka bow wow) Intimate distance (1 in to 18 in.)So, while we talk a lot about what lenses we mount to our cameras and what a particular focal length does to our subject matter, we don't often think about the Proxemic effect of the distance we place ourselves as the photographer. Just the same way that the proximity of me to the microphone changes the tone of the audio, the proximity of you to the subject of your photography changes the tone of your image and what it's trying to suggest. Sure, you might love the 85 mm focal length because of how it flatters the human face, but depending on the framing you might be shooting for, the Proxemic effect might be subconsciously telling your viewer something completely different entirely.Let's do a little thought experiment here just to describe what's going on with Proxemics and photography: Let's say you get a call from a client asking you to spend some time shadowing a local business owner (How about a cobbler to keep things interesting!) And capture some lifestyle and editorial images of Chris the cobbler at work. Before you ever set foot in his shop, ideally, you're thinking critically about what you want your viewers to think and feel when they see these images in the article. Regardless of what the shop looks like or what the lighting situation might be — but keeping in mind what your editor wants and needs from a design perspective — you want to put the viewer into the appropriate Proxemic zone- photographing Chris The Cobbler in the public distance of 12 to 25 ft is going to make the viewer feel distant and emotionally disconnected. Or conversely, as friendly as this cobbler might be, there's no editor in the world that wants a photo from the intimate distance range of inside 18” away.But, in a completely different assignment, say a dramatic portrait series focusing deeply in the emotions in gestures of the subject, you'd want to push the limits of the personal distance range around 2 ft to push the limits of your audience and what they can tolerate in their comfort zones. So, we've been diving on deep on how the proxemic distance that you choose regardless of the lens choice can make your audience feel the right emotional connection or disconnection when they see your photos. [Which, as an aside is something that the movie industry knows intricately. Take a look at the side of any cinema lens and you'll see they've got a detailed distance scale to make sure their precisely hitting their optimal subject distances, and obviously getting repeatable follow focus poles along the way.]But back to where I was going before... Studying Proxemics for your photography is going to make a huge difference in another big way in how the individuals that your photographing feel when you are taking the photo. For example, does the subject in the frame have a strong enough level of trust to have you inside that 1 and 1/2 to 4 ft personal distance? Or by photographing in that public distance, or you confusing or alienating the individual as to why you're not engaging in that social four to 12-ft distance?Of course, the caveat all of this is that wall these distances and Proxemics are formed from a number of auditory, haptic, and neurological cues, these distances and ranges vary by culture. So your mileage may vary depending on which state region or country you're listening to this podcast fromSo, what's the action item that you can take from this episode? Well, besides being aware of the Proxemics in your photography here's a fun experiment to analyze your work... Well I would love to tell you guys that Lightroom or PhotoMechanic has a great feature to sort by subject focus distance. But, it looks like they took that feature away, honestly because of how wildly unreliable these figures got embedded into the photo exit data. Womp womp. So, my task to you on your next shoot is to lock your lens in manual focus at the crossover distance between Proxemic ranges like 18 in, 4 ft, and 12 ft and think mindfully about what crossing into one range or another does to your image, your subject, and yourself as a photographer and how you approach your world.As much fun as creating this series in a vacuum and pushing content out into the void is… I want to hear from you guys! Are there topics or guests that you’d LOVE to get on the podcast here in 2020? Or are there some BIG NAGGING QUESTIONS you’ve got on photography or video production that you want me to cover on one of these solo episodes? Hit me up @BBrewerphoto or drop an email to podcast@photoforward.media . I want to make 2020 a much more collaborative, community-focused season of the Photo Forward Podcast and can’t wait to keep creating with you all throughout the year. So, as always — Keep seeing, keep shooting, and keep putting your best Photo Forward. LATER!

Did you know that being nice or unselfish could hurt your ability to persuade?  What about those people that are so optimistic that you want to hit them?   People don't really like unselfish colleagues There are many tools of influence that are used in excess (or in the wrong way) – that can backfire on you.  What are those good things?  It could be any of the following:  ·         Always volunteering to help ·         Being so nice that it repels ·         Unrealistic and unrelenting optimism ·         Proxemics and space ·         Wrong use of humor ·         Trying to connect, but bruising their ego Join me for this week’s podcast on “How Being Nice Or Optimistic Hurts Persuasion.”  I will detail everything we have been taught we thought was a good thing, actually destroys the persuasion process.

We have all heard about first impressions.  You have less than 30 seconds for someone to judge you – That could be a positive or negative perception.  How do others perceive you?  Is your first impression helping or hurting your ability to persuade and negotiate? Bad smells make our memories stronger Join me for this podcast as we explore first impressions.  These impressions can come from either a nonverbal gesture or your tone of voice.  Most people don’t even realize how they are being judged.  

Dr. Richard Low is a huge fan of Vanessa Van Edwards’ work on the science of unlocking human behavior and we are delighted to have her on the show.  In this episode Vanessa shares specific strategies from her experiences teaching dentists how to build trust and help patients feel comfortable within the first moments of your interaction.  Another secret we uncovered is that you might accidentally be making people feel judged and distant by the way you smile and the best way to get sincere expressions for your profile pictures, websites and more.   Bio: Vanessa Van Edwards is Lead Investigator at Science of People — where she unlocks the formulas and patterns behind human behavior for hundreds of thousands of students in over 200 countries. She is the national bestselling author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding With People, available in 14 languages around the world. Her work has been featured on CNN, NPR, BBC, and Fast Company and dozens more.   Biggest Takeaways: Why micro expressions are so important and how you respond to them is valuable. Why you need to be authentic in your emotions. Importance of hand gestures.  How physical touch builds trust.  The first 20 seconds of meeting someone is the most important. Why you need to get on the same level as your patient during first impressions. How to slowly move into someones personal space.   Show Questions: What is your face saying to your patients? Are you paying close enough attention to your patients to spot the micro expressions? Do you have the courage to acknowledge the expressions?

You know, it's a very interesting chemical, but one of the things that it does is it builds trust. So the moment someone shakes hands with us, we get this burst of this chemical that makes us feel belonging, which is so powerful." - Vanessa Van Edwards "However, especially if you are in the first 20 seconds to a minute of interaction, that is the single most important time to have your hands visible." - Vanessa Van Edwards

Do you think about proxemics in preaching? How can we leverage the way we use space as we preach?

Proxemics: The Science of Space               The anthropologist Edward T. Hall created the science of proxemics, which studies how people use, react to, configure, and occupy the space around them. We all want our own space, and we feel uncomfortable when people violate our personal territory. While it may sound overly obvious, research shows that many persuaders get too familiar, too fast. Disrespect for your audience’s personal space—especially when you are first meeting them—will definitely not build rapport. Many persuaders don’t even know that they are violating their audience’s space. They may think, for example, that by reaching out and touching their audience members on the arm, they will be seen as warm and extending. Such as gesture may really be a turnoff, though. What does it feel like? Imagine that you go to a movie theatre and there are 150 seats but only ten people watching the movie. Social custom calls for everyone to spread out. Let’s say you take your seat and the nearest person is twenty feet away. How would you feel if a stranger came and sat down right next to you in this theatre of empty seats? That would be a violation of your personal space.                     Understanding proxemics requires an understanding of territory and the role of dominance. The bigger office, the armrest on the airplane, the larger chair, sitting at the head of the conference table, getting into someone’s face—all these things have hidden meanings. It could be unwanted touching or jumping into a conversation that damages likeability and rapport. Be observant. How is your use of space perceived by your audience? Always err on the side of giving extra space, instead of too little.              Does the science of proxemics really matter? The distance you keep or don’t keep when persuading someone communicates a message. Great persuaders understand rapport and interpersonal communication, and they respect personal space. You will find that the amount of space between a person and a persuader affects the way they are able to interact with each other and what message their interaction sends. When we sit at a table or across from a desk, we each draw invisible lines of our perceived personal space. When these invisible territorial lines are violated, tension is created. We all have regions or areas where we permit others to enter or prevent others from entering. Great persuaders recognize when an invitation to enter their audience’s private zone is being extended.             Your audience’s intimate area is not to be violated by you, the persuader. In North America, that area extends from your audience’s face out to about twenty-four inches. Most social interaction takes place between four and twelve feet of distance. This personal space preference not only varies by individual but also by culture. For example, in the Middle East or Latin America, it is reduced by almost 50 percent.37 In Germany, on the other hand, the space is larger. It is comedic to watch two people from two different cultures trying to communicate. One is violating the other’s personal space, while the other is backing up in an attempt to regain his personal space. The two are in some sort of dance to maintain and regain comfortable communication space. Article:http://captology.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/RSA-The-new-rules-of-persuasion.pdf

Is there someone in your life who just doesn't understand your personal space? Are they getting a little too up-close and personal? Or maybe you're the culprit. Maybe every time you try to cuddle up the that special someone, s/he's always running away from you. Well, we've got an episode covering this exact topic. It's call proxemics, my friends. Kick up your feet and stay for a while...you won't want to miss out on this entertaining comm therapy session!

The Government SublimeHow the Infrastructure State changed our relationship to the natural environment, 1800-1830 Click To Play Jo's paper looks at the moment when large, centralized bureaucracies began to mediate everyday experiences of the natural landscape. Looking at early tourist visits to the Menai Straits Bridge, among the first modern engineering projects to attract large numbers of visitors to an entirely natural setting, she argues that states immediately transformed channeled public appreciation of nature to a reliance on large, centralized government, with ultimately catastrophic results for decentralized information, local political power, and the fate of the environment.

Industrial FantasiaSimon Gunn presents his paper, "Industrial Fantasia: Engineering Bradford, 1945-1970," a study in mid-century urban planning fantasies of a continuously renewed, mechanized white city that would replace Bradford's nineteenth-century mills.(for full screen, select button on the menu to the furthest right)

Intro to Landscape StudiesThe modern age of landscape is an age where social interactions, markets, and developments are routinely channeled by institutions invisible to the ordinary individual. State infrastructure and capital have made immense and irreversible the effects of building, in the form of corridors, monuments and waste, channeling everyday paths and interactions in new space. In the era of modern building, the secrets of landscape are constantly hidden in plain sight. To learn to see the landscape, western writers first had to learn to describe it. Unlike studies of rhetoric, which stretch back through the classical tradition, structural studies of the phenomenology, politics, and psychology of landscape only matured in the nineteenth century, in the era when state intervention began to physically reshape the shape of trade, agriculture, and the city at an unprecedented scale. Psychologists like Georg Simmel and cultural critics like Walter Benjamin imported the science of rhetoric and the close attention to perception, analyzing the everyday spaces around them, and so developed a new science of landscape. This tradition ultimately informed diverse disciplines that took up landscape in the 1940s through 70s, including historical geography, military intelligence, American Studies, environmental psychology, and urban planning. This short film introduces two experiments in the culture of academic publication, both of which deploy digital technologies like screencasting and wikis to help informally share work pursued by landscape scholars in different fields.

"The Business Man and the Business Place" How did nineteenth-century American business travelers decide to visit Galena or Sioux Falls? How did they sort other travelers into worthwhile "business men" and deceitful "confidence men?" Berkeley historian Bill Wagner narrates how early-nineteenth century American men navigated the landscape. This short account, originally presented at the American Society for Environmental History in March 2008, forms the second episode of the Landscape Studies Podcast.cc Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United Statesduration: 11:40

Persons on FootIndiana sociologist Laurel Cornell asks, why are American highways designed without regard to the concerns of the person on foot? She examines the point of view of the twentieth-century civil engineer and concludes that engineers' training taught them not to see the people on the roadside. cc Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United Statesduration: 17:57
