These data, however, were not relevant for the hypothesis tested in Experiment 3. The practice block was the same as in the previous experiments.
The Stone Barns Center was conceived by David Rockefeller, who helped finance the initial $30 million construction budget, and also donated 80 acres of farmland, to create a grand experiment in the study and practice of sustainable local agriculture.
In this, she was honouring the art school traditions of St Martin's, particularly the sculpture department's controversial experiment in teaching practice, known as the "locked room", during which students were left to work under surveillance but with limited critical feedback from tutors.
Experiment design plays a fundamental role in the practice of model identification.
Participants first performed a practice block (in Experiment 1, 32 trials; in Experiment 2, 40 trials; in Experiment 3, 30 trials) – the practice contained a subset of stimuli that were not used in the experiment itself.
Nonetheless, a particular portion of serial overhead and the parallel environment-enabling cost must be taken into account and which slows down the experiments in practice.
"The impact that I want to see from Bunker is that it is an organization that empowers artists to keep developing and experimenting in their practice," says Rommelt. "I want it to be a force that brings together diverse people and resources to create dynamic art and sustainable working lives.
How was the experiment implemented in practice, and did it achieve its goals?
