Summary:
Our daily lives, our culture, and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition, in which greater numbers of people are engaged in negotiating meaning in ever more dimensions of life, from the trivial to the profound. They are making use of a complex communication infrastructure, currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook, on which they(...)

Summary:
Our daily lives, our culture, and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition, in which greater numbers of people are engaged in negotiating meaning in ever more dimensions of life, from the trivial to the profound. They are making use of a complex communication infrastructure, currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook, on which they have come to depend.Amidst a confusing plurality, Felix Stalder argues that there are three key constituents of this condition: the use of existing cultural materials for one’s own production, the way in which new meaning is established as a collective endeavor, and the underlying role of algorithms and automated decision-making processes that give shape to massive volumes of data. These three characteristics define what Stalder calls “the digital condition.”

''Fantasies of the Library'' imagines, and enacts, the library as both keeper of books and curator of ideas as a platform of the future. The book includes an essay on the institutional ordering principles of book collections; a conversation with the proprietors of the Prelinger Library in San Francisco; reflections on the role of cultural memory and the archive; and a dialogue with a new media theorist about experiments at the intersection of curatorial practice and open-source ebooks. The reader emerges from this book-as-exhibition with the growing conviction that the library is not only a curatorial space but a bibliological imaginary, ripe for the exploration of consequential paginated affairs. The physicality of the book- and this book- ''resists the digital,'' argues coeditor Etienne Turpin, ''but not in a nostalgic way.''

Archives have become a nexus in the wake of the digital turn. Electronic files, search engines, video sites, and media player libraries make the concepts of “archival” and “retrieval” practically synonymous with the experience of interconnected computing. Archives today are the center of much attention but few agendas. Can archives inform the redistribution of power and resources when the concept of the public library as an institution makes knowledge and culture accessible to all members of society regardless of social or economic status? This book sets out to show that archives need our active support and continuing engagement.

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:
In 'Being Material', artists and technologists explore the relationship of the digital to the material, demonstrating that processes that seem wholly immaterial function within material constraints. Digital technologies themselves, they remind us, are material things—constituted by atoms of gold, silver, silicon, copper, tin, tungsten, and more.

De la même manière que l'écriture a permis d'engendrer un mode particulier de pensée, où les listes, les tableaux et les formules ont joué un rôle primordial dans la modélisation des connaissances, avec le numérique s'inventent d'autres systèmes de mise en forme de l'information et de sa transmission. 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. On comprend dès lors que les architectures de mémoire, dans leur actualisation contemporaine, essentiellement numérique, sont au coeur d'une transformation de l'esprit humain. 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.

En s’appuyant sur une contextualisation socio-technique érudite de ces supports de stockages numériques prometteurs et sur de fines descriptions des interfaces et des parcours au sein de ces univers clos, Gilles Rouffineau livre de précieuses analyses d’objets éditoriaux qui ont marqué la décennie et qui sont aujourd’hui difficilement consultables. Reprise d’une recherche doctorale en sciences de l’art rendue publique en 2006, la démarche scientifique de cet amateur de CDrom éclairé pose la question d’un désir de transmission des données et d’un partage d’expériences contrarié par l’obsolescence technique et le caractère incertain de ces objets culturels.
