“…These demarcations highlight the potential for "conflicted identities" within and outside the family, for example as a "worker, parent and partner" (Armstrong 1995: 4). 11 A strong correlation with gender and class and the role of domestic spaces as a loci of intellectual production are also underlined by Opitz (2016), who focuses on the "domestic threshold as a regulator of private and public access to knowledge" (Opitz 2016: 256). In his book The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau suggests that the "home" is a spatiality "constituted on the basis of the wall", and that "there is no spatiality that is not organized by the determination of frontiers" (Certeau 1984: 123).…”

INTRODUCTION:In this paper we discuss concepts and practices that point to a new field of ubiquitous music (ubimus) research centered on domestic settings. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this paper is to document and share a preliminary study of the use of taste as a trigger for creative decisions and a comparative study of creative music making done at home and in transitional settings. METHODS: Groundwork in this area encompasses the design, implementation and deployment of ubimus systems. Key aspects include sonic resources and metaphors for creative action based on multimodality. RESULTS: The results indicate that unpredictable sonic environments foster originality but may compromise the subjects' creative performance -reducing their level of engagement and fun and the possibilities for collaboration, while increasing the cognitive demands of the activity. Home seems to furnish a positive context as long as the objective is not to increase the originality of the outcomes. CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of taste as a scaffold for creative decisions was partially confirmed, demanding further studies. These results have implications for both the artistic aspects of sound making and the everyday usage of sound for distant socializing in domestic settings, posing renewed challenges to the ongoing STEAM initiatives.

“…7 With its reliance on large networks of volunteer observers, Victorian meteorology had no choice but to operate as a domesticated science-a pursuit conducted within the spatial and temporal confines of daily life and domestic routine. 8 Prior to the movement for the professionalization of science in the latter half of the nineteenth century, a variety of sites were used to carry out scientific investigation, from the pub to the country house. 9 Rooms were added or adapted to function as greenhouses, observatories, museums or laboratories; gardens were similarly repurposed.…”

Thermometer screens and the geographies of uniformity in nineteenth-century meteorology

By the 1860s a number of thermometer stands, screens and boxes were being used at public observatories and in private settings. The ultimate object of these humble pieces of scientific infrastructure was to protect the thermometers from precipitation and radiation. In response to concerns over the quality of designs and the comparability of results a trial of the various apparatuses was staged at Strathfield Turgiss, Hampshire, in 1868, and subsequent discussions were organized by Britain's Meteorological Society (from 1883 the Royal Meteorological Society). In an attempt to guarantee uniformity of exposure, the Society recommended the adoption of the Stevenson screen, a double-louvred box designed by Thomas Stevenson in 1866. It was promoted as an essential part of the Society's network of second-order and climatological stations across England. Despite the Meteorological Society's aim of overcoming the idiosyncrasies of geography through recourse to a uniform pattern screen, their chosen design ended up embodying a particular geography: the aesthetic and moral codes of the suburban domestic garden.
