The locus of encounter between art, science and the public can be conceptualized as third space—a generative site of shared experience. This article reports on a group-based psychosocial method led by imagery and affect—the visual matrix—that enables researchers to capture and characterize knowledge emerging in third space, where disciplinary boundaries are fluid and there is no settled discourse. It presents an account of the visual matrix process in the context of an artscience collaboration on memory and forgetting. The authors show how the method illuminates aesthetic and affective dimensions of participant experience and captures the emerging, empathic and ethical knowing that is characteristic of third space.

Abstract Paradise has been a significant concept in tourism as well in consumer culture. The present article demonstrates how paradise is presented as visual, spatial and ideal concepts in ads, and how they illustrate imagination as a central communicative effect in marketing and consumer culture. Through an analysis of selected consumer and tourism ads for TV and cinema presented in Denmark, the author points out different ways of reflecting viewers’ imagination of paradise as a place and condition. The author outlines a theoretical framework for understanding imagination from a media-specific perspective as involving cognitive, emotional and sensuous processes, respectively, and looks at how paradise, as an active and present visual matrix in tourism and consumer communication, has a specific appeal to viewers’ imagination.

The need for social as well as academic impact in social science research is now well established. Art is increasingly being explored as a means of generating social impact, most commonly as a way to engage publics with research findings, but to date with little exploration of the process of engagement itself. In this study, we set out to explore the power of art to engage the public. We do this by examining the ‘affective’ experience of engagement through a qualitative investigation using one-to-one interviews and a modified visual matrix exercise. In this article we report on the findings from our analysis of the affective experience of watching a film series, and through this discuss the use of film to communicate research findings and value of a novel qualitative psychosocial methodology for exploring the process of public engagement.

Overgangen fra arbejdsliv til pensionistliv er omgivet af stærke samfundsmæssige, normative diskurser, samtidig med at den kan indeholde sociale, psykiske og sundhedsmæssige udfordringer for den enkelte. Derfor kan overgangen være vanskelig at tænke og tale om i hverdagens kommunikation. I artiklen analyseres empirisk materiale skabt gennem den psykosociale metode Visual Matrix. Visual Matrix er en psykodynamisk, gruppebaseret metode, hvori deltagerne gennem forestillinger, præsentation af indre billeder og associationer omgås et emne. I artiklen analyseres en Visual Matrix med 14 kvindelige deltagere centreret omkring temaet ”Forestillinger om overgangen fra arbejde til pensionistliv”. Artiklen introducerer metoden og den psykodynamiske og psykosociale metodologi bag Visual Matrix. Den viser gennem eksemplariske nedslag i den transkriberede matrix-tekst og analyser af centrale billeder kompleksiteten og det stærke følelsesmæssige indhold i deltagernes forestillinger om transitionen. På baggrund heraf diskuteres, om det er muligt at rumme og bearbejde de mangfoldige psykiske udfordringer, forestillingen om transitionen fra arbejdsliv til livet som pensionist kan rejse, indenfor til rådighed stående forståelser og diskurser.

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between the working memory and its tasks (Audio Numbers - Category Classification - Visual Matrix - Maps & Directions), and achievement motivation among academically outstanding students, the study sample consisted of 60 students (GPA= 4.5 and above), who were academically outstanding in the faculty of Education, the Majmaah University from different departments. By using Working Memory and Achievement motivation tests, the results were extracted by the SPSS program indicated: There is a positive statistically significant relationship at the level (0.05) between the achievement motivation and working memory tasks, and the presence of a positive statistically significant relationship at (0.001) level between achievement motivation and memory of maps and directions.

It is widely acknowledged in hospitals that the quality of design and environment can influence the quality of patient care, the sense of therapeutic security and the experience of staff. This women's PICU collaborated with the charity Hospital Rooms to realise the valuable role of art within the clinical environment. Experienced artists were commissioned to work in genuine partnership with patients and staff to re-envision the physical environment with the installation of eight imaginative, inventive and PICU compliant art works.<br/> The implementation, and both patient and staff perspectives were evaluated. There was no disruption to clinical care and engagement and participation was enthusiastic. There were 35 patient encounters and 32 staff encounters, including creative workshops and an exhibition.<br/> Patient Experience Data Intelligence Centre (PEDIC) reports showed an improvement following artwork installation. Patients were more likely to recommend the ward, felt more involved in their care and that the ward was comfortable. The art transformed clinical spaces creating opportunity for patients to have exceptional experiences: 'being here feels like sitting in the park'.<br/> Staff evaluation through a 'visual matrix' method that explores shared experience, revealed that the art has introduced further possibility of 'respite and escape' for both patients and staff. There is a sense that 'you feel like it is leading you to somewhere, you feel like there is something more'. It has also engendered 'ownership and pride': it 'feels like pushing boundaries, things you thought could never be considered at all, are now being considered'.
