Installation Art in Virtual Reality
Reclaiming vision
John Berger’s warnings around the gaze in Ways of Seeing and the discourses surrounding NASA’s Blue Marble, the 1972 image of the whole Earth from space, propose a visual practice based on vision as inculcating an alienating objectivity. I return to these foundational texts from 1972 in order to produce symptomatic readings that suggest a background for certain attitudes around digital images. Introducing Donna Haraway’s notion of diffraction mul…
Installation Art in Virtual Reality
Beyond Representation in Virtual Reality
Although virtual reality (VR) is largely associated with a dependency on realist imagery award-winning visual effects professional Kevin Mack and oil painter Jane LaFarge Hamill use VR to produce abstract works. Abstract art and early abstract film reveal the importance of such experimentation to each medium’s latent potential and how early oddities, in due course, enter the mainstream. The author examines Mack and Hamill’s respective works to pr…
Toward a New Strategic Public Health Science for Policy, Practice, Impact, and Health Equity
The COVID-19 pandemic and its social and health impact have underscored the need for a new strategic science agenda for public health. To optimize public health impact, high-quality strategic science addresses scientific gaps that inform policy and guide practice. At least 6 scientific gaps emerge from the US experience with COVID-19: health equity science, data science and modernization, communication science, policy analysis and translation, sc…
Cuts to Support
Lucio Fontana’s tagli (or cuts) challenge traditional notions of painting; likewise Tate Modern’s Bigger Picture caption project alters how museum text ‘speaks’ to spectators. Colin Blakemore’s alternative caption on Fontana’s piece provides an opportunity to witness how cuts can transform a discourse by opening up new possibilities

Higher Yet Suboptimal Chlamydia Testing Rates at Community Health Centers and Outpatient Clinics Compared With Physician Offices
To assess chlamydia testing in women in community health centers, we analyzed data from national surveys of ambulatory health care. Women with chlamydial symptoms were tested at 16% of visits, and 65% of symptomatic women were tested if another reproductive health care service (pelvic examination, Papanicolaou test, or urinalysis) was performed. Community health centers serve populations with high sexually transmitted disease rates and fill gaps …
Pandemic Influenza
Among vulnerable populations during an influenza pandemic are persons with or at risk for HIV infection, tuberculosis, or chronic viral hepatitis. HIV-infected persons have higher rates of hospitalization, prolonged illness, and increased mortality from influenza compared with the general population. Persons with tuberculosis and chronic viral hepatitis may also be at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from influenza because of altered imm…
Use of Sentinel Surveillance and Geographic Information Systems to Monitor Trends in HIV Prevalence, Incidence, and Related Risk Behavior among Women Undergoing Syphilis Screening in a Jail Setting
Internet-based site-specific interventions for syphilis prevention among gay and bisexual men
Recent increases in syphilis in gay men in urban areas in the US and Europe have been associated with men meeting new sex partners on the Internet in chat-rooms and at websites that facilitate partner meeting. In response to the syphilis epidemic in San Francisco, the San Francisco Department of Public Health partnered with a community-based organization, Internet Sexuality Information Services, Inc., to develop, implement and evaluate a broad ra…
Field-Delivered Therapy Increases Treatment for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
In 1998, treatment completion was low among chlamydia and gonorrhea cases reported to the San Francisco Department of Public Health and assigned for treatment follow-up. To improve treatment completion among growing numbers of chlamydia and gonorrhea cases, the department implemented field-delivered therapy (FDT), a single-dose, directly observed therapy protocol for uncomplicated chlamydial and gonococcal infections. After the protocol was imple…
Cruising on the Internet Highway
This study evaluated differences in sexual behavior and risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among men who have sex with men (MSM) who met their partners on-line and those who did not. A self-administered questionnaire on sexual behavior was offered to a convenience sample of patients seeking public STD services. Thirty-two percent of MSM patients reported meeting a sexual partner over the Internet in the past year. MSM with on-line part…
Efficacy of Risk-Reduction Counseling to Prevent Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Sexually Transmitted Diseases
CONTEXT: The efficacy of counseling to prevent infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) has not been definitively shown. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of 2 interactive HIV/STD counseling interventions with didactic prevention messages typical of current practice. DESIGN: Multicenter randomized controlled trial (Project RESPECT), with participants assigned to 1 of 3 individual face-to…
