Summary:
When we talk about technology we always talk about tomorrow and the future - which makes it hard to figure out how to even get there. In "Future Histories", public interest lawyer and digital specialist Lizzie O'Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and progressive social movements with modern(...)

In "Future Histories", public interest lawyer and digital specialist Lizzie O'Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and progressive social movements with modern theories of the mind, society, and self, O'Shea constructs a "usable past" that can help us determine our digital future.

En effet, le développement du réseau, d'un vaste cyberespace, induit une rationalité particulière reposant sur le calcul plutôt que sur l'écriture, ce qui est la seule façon de le rendre intelligible.

Il est encore trop tôt pour déterminer exactement ce qu'il en est de cette transformation, mais il importe dès maintenant de tracer les contours de cette situation et d'explorer des pistes qui peuvent en baliser certains des aspects les plus saillants.

Summary:
Media organize things into patterns and relations. As intermediaries among people and between people and worlds, media shape sociotechnical orders. At the same time, media are organized: while they condition different organizational forms and processes, they, too, are formed and can be re-formed. This intimate relation of media and organizing is timeless. Yet arguably, digital media technologies repose the question of organization—and thus of power and domination, control and surveillance, disruption and emancipation. Bringing together leading media thinkers and organization theorists, this book interrogates organization as an effect and condition of media. How can we understand the recursive relation between media and organization? How can we think, explore, critique, and perhaps alter the organizational bodies and scripts that shape contemporary life?

Summary:
Depuis l'Antiquité, avec le mythe de Galatée, l'objet qui s'anime traverse les âges et les arts. Comment l'imaginaire contemporain s'est-il emparé de la machine ? Sa représentation, sa symbolique, les récits qui lui sont associés sont évidemment tributaires de ceux de la société en général, du discours sur le progrès, du rapport à la technique. L'évolution des technologies du numérique et ses conséquences imprévisibles pour l'humanité ont rendu nécessaire le débat philosophique portant sur nos rapports avec elle. La machine est inséparable du sujet qui la crée, et les théories et les fantasmes autour d'une posthumanité ou du transhumanisme sont autant de réponses à cette symbiose imaginée ou réelle. Pour comprendre la spécificité et l'identité de la machine - ou plutôt des machines -, cet ouvrage convoque non seulement la littérature et le cinéma, mais il explore aussi sa matérialisation dans les arts plastiques, les réseaux sociaux, les dispositifs écraniques, la bande dessinée et les jeux vidéo. En tout, dix-sept textes où se côtoient automates, intelligences artificielles et postmachines dans différents milieux - in vivo, in vitro, in silico - dont certains relèvent de dispositifs et de systèmes auto-engendrés.

Summary:
The influential Presence Project brought together an international group of collaborators in 2001 to investigate how technology can be used to increase the presence of older people in their local communities. This became a groundbreaking project for practice-based design research, exploring approaches and methods that have resonated since. The design team rejected a problem-solving approach, focusing instead on creating new and unusual situations for communication and insight. They introduced cutting-edge methods and developed challenging designs that they tested in the communities themselves. This book documents the Presence Project's development of key concepts in contemporary technology design, including cultural probes, design workbooks, and speculative design. Original Presence Project participants may have been surprised that the methods they invented became standard practice; the theme of the project was to break out of conventional approaches and try something radically new. With a new preface by Bill Gaver and an introduction by Phoebe Sengers, this reissue of The Presence Project gives readers a glimpse into the thinking behind this influential project and ideas about how to bring it to bear on today's design problems.

Summary:
In a series of talks and essays in 1937, H. G. Wells proselytized for what he called a "World Brain," as manifested in a World Encyclopedia--a repository of scientifically established knowledge--that would spread enlightenment around the world and lead to world peace. Wells, known to readers today as the author of "The War of the Worlds" and other science fiction classics, was imagining something like a predigital Wikipedia. The World Encyclopedia would provide a summary of verified reality (in about forty volumes); it would be widely available, free of copyright, and utilize the latest technology. Of course, as Bruce Sterling points out in the foreword to this edition of Wells's work, the World Brain didn't happen; the internet did. And yet, Wells anticipated aspects of the internet, envisioning the World Brain as a technical system of networked knowledge (in Sterling's words, a "hypothetical super-gadget"). Wells's optimism about the power of information might strike readers today as naïvely utopian, but possibly also inspirational.

During that time, the court of law has come to rely on a variety of new representational modes and technologies.

Summary:
Since the early twentieth century, contemporary art and art theory have creatively challenged the status of representation. During that time, the court of law has come to rely on a variety of new representational modes and technologies. The law is increasingly staged on a screen and the photographs, video documents, audio recordings used as evidence are not entirely distinct from their correlates in contemporary art, cinema and mass media. What questions of representation, judgment and justice cross borders between art and the law? Through the contribution of internationally renowned artists and scholars, this anthology explores how the aesthetics of new media technology and its spatial implementations affect the judicial system in relation to fundamental concepts such as truth and representation. Artistic contributions by John Baldessari, Dan Graham, Harun Farocki, Stan Douglas, Aernout Mik, Agency, Judy Radul, Renzo Martens, Ana Torfs, The Atlas Group, René Magritte, Model Court, Rana Hamadeh, Thomas Demand, Les Levine Essays by Julie A.
