Summary:
In this book, Branden Hookway considers the interface not as technology but as a form of relationship with technology. The interface, Hookway proposes, is at once ubiquitous and hidden from view. It is both the bottleneck through which our relationship to technology must pass and a productive encounter embedded within the use of technology. It is a site of contestation --(...)

Summary:
In this book, Branden Hookway considers the interface not as technology but as a form of relationship with technology. The interface, Hookway proposes, is at once ubiquitous and hidden from view. It is both the bottleneck through which our relationship to technology must pass and a productive encounter embedded within the use of technology. It is a site of contestation -- between human and machine, between the material and the social, between the political and the technological -- that both defines and elides differences.

Summary:
La science fiction, dans sa version littéraire ou cinématographique, a depuis longtemps alimenté les visions technologiques en mettant en scène toutes sortes d'objets "futuristes". Voiture volantes, vaisseaux spatiaux, stations orbitales et autres robots humanoïdes ont ainsi formé l'ossature de bien des récits. Pour autant, ces artefacts emblématiques semblent absents de notre vie de tous les jours, comme si l'avenir décrit depuis une soixantaine d'années était sans cesse repoussé. Ce qui n'empêche pas certains de continuer à répéter ces mêmes mythes comme victimes d'une panne imaginaire. Doit-on se cantonner à ces visions du futur ? Des imaginaires alternatifs ne sont-ils pas en cours de construction ? Est-ce que cet avenir technologique n'est pas advenu autrement ? Cet ouvrage aborde ces différentes questions et montre comment d'autres champs que la science-fiction explorent des futurs possibles.

Summary:
Digital currencies (cryptocurrencies) and digital property require large amounts of land, resources, and data centers and infrastructures to store these ''supplies''. There is a larger architectural and urban infrastructural challenge and urgency on how these various kinds of digital exchanges are mediated, to limit the detrimental use of our everyday resources. Using a mixed-media approach, this book couples a novel exploration of XR (mixed-reality) and AR (augmented reality) into several parts of the book. To prolong the shelf-life of emergent data and case-studies on the topic, the book is complemented with an open-access digital platform for readers to access video interviews with the industry experts, diagrammatic mapping and graphical cartography, and 3D artifacts that shows how data interacts with phygital properties.

Summary:
Il est maintenant possible de contrôler la structure de la matière à des échelles de taille si petites que les systèmes obtenus révèlent des propriétés hors du commun s'apparentant de plus en plus au vivant auquel ils sont parfois même hybridés. Dans ce monde en continuelle mouvance révélé par cette matière émergente, nos repères vacillent et il nous faut repenser autrement notre appréhension du réel. Or, les images dont nous disposons pour nous saisir mentalement de ces transformations sont devenues inopérantes. Elles sont à redessiner, à mettre en relation, à assembler autrement. C'est en ces lieux que l'art contemporain peut venir jouer son rôle d'intercesseur entre la matière-forme et ses mises en pratique, entre la méta-réalité de l'oeuvre et notre capacité à penser ces nouvelles émergences. Proposer des image-matières pour nous aider à métamorphoser notre imaginaire, tel est le but de cet essai.
