As part of research for a forthcoming book Rule 34: What Netporn Teaches Us About The Brain, by Drs. Ogi Ogas & Sai Gaddam (Dutton, 2010) an online survey was put up on LiveJournal at http://ogi-ogas.livejournal.com. In response to the general WTF-ness of online people, the survey rapidly got taken down, and the questions rewritten. (Surely the questionnaire needed piloting first - not to mention some basic research on the community being researched.) Generally I'm left with a sense that they weren't necessarily researching what they claimed they were researching - which allegedly was the male and female nature of parts of the brain as exposed by the reading of fan fiction. But then to them fanfiction is just a means to a dataset and they apparent don't care about the dataset.
I'm not even convinced by this sort of methodology when it follows its own rules of ethics, privacy, confidentiality and measurability.
The original questions are here: http://ljgeoff.livejournal.com/296228.html
The revised questions are here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7bc0aae6cc73c65707258ee67c679e4ae04e75f6e8ebb871
The original LJ site seems to be battened down. Ye gods. Not entirely surprising.

When Joseph Beuys crashed his plane during the Second World War, the Tartars who rescued him rubbed animal fat on his body, and wrapped him in felt. It should be no surprise to see felt and animal fat as recurrent elements in his ready mades and central to his art.
Beuys is the subject of the Artist Rooms exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea. The Artist Rooms series of exhibitions are sponsored by Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland, and are scattered around the country - Warhol in Walsall, Mapplethorpe in Sheffield - but you need to do some digging to find the dates and locations of them (the Tate's own website not being that informative - http://www.tate.org.uk/collections/featuredworks_doffay.htm is one way in), and seems to be built around the donation of Anthony d’Offay (see also http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/aug/24/artist-rooms). ETA: http://www.tate.org.uk/collection/artistrooms/ gives dates and venues
( Beuys is Here )
