Summary:
Two years after his "Vampyroteuthis Infernalis", Vilém Flusser engaged in another thought experiment: a collection of twenty-two “scenarios for the future.” This publication offers insight into the radical futures of a slipstream Anthropocene that have much to do with speculative fiction, and serves as both a warning and a nudge to imagine what we may yet become and be.

Summary:
Sensing machines are everywhere in our world. As we move through the day, electronic sensors and computers adjust our thermostats, guide our Roombas, count our steps, change the orientation of an image when we rotate our phones. There are more of these electronic devices in the world than there are people—in 2020, thirty to fifty billion of them (versus 7.8 billion(...)

There are more of these electronic devices in the world than there are people—in 2020, thirty to fifty billion of them (versus 7.8 billion people), with more than a trillion expected in the next decade. In ''Sensing machines,'' Chris Salter examines how we are tracked, surveilled, tantalized, and seduced by machines ranging from smart watches and mood trackers to massive immersive art installations.

Byung-Chul Han’s critique of the infosphere highlights the price we are paying for our growing preoccupation with information and communication.

Summary:
Byung-Chul Han’s critique of the infosphere highlights the price we are paying for our growing preoccupation with information and communication. Today we search for more information without gaining any real knowledge. We communicate constantly without participating in a community. We save masses of data without keeping track of our memories. We accumulate friends and followers without encountering other people. This is how information develops a form of life that has no stability or duration. And as we become increasingly absorbed in the infosphere, we lose touch with the magic of things which provide a stable environment for dwelling and give continuity to human life. The infosphere may seem to grant us new freedoms but it creates new forms of control too, and it cuts us off from the kind of freedom that is tied to acting in the world.

The core stakes identified by the 11 writers are the relationships between art and democracy, resistance as value creation, the oppositions between the personal and the collective, the so-called “system” and anti-system thinking, and how the art world can propose, accompany, and respond to today’s forms of resistance.

Summary:
En 1974 à New York, Sylvère Lotringer, un jeune philosophe français fraichement engagé à Columbia University, décide de démarrer une revue avec ses étudiant·e·s. Semiotext(e) devient rapidement une courroie de transmission entre les divers courants de la pensée critique de l'après 68 français et les États-Unis et s'émancipe de l'université pour s'ouvrir sur toutes les contre-cultures du moment. Le sémioticien Lotringer se réinvente en éditeur, en intervieweur, mais aussi en cinéaste et en catalyseur de toute une scène artistique et intellectuelle alternative qui contribue, un peu par hasard, à instaurer les « Cultural Studies » au cours des années 1980. Avec l'autrice Chris Kraus, Lotringer ouvre la maison d'édition Semiotext(e) à la poésie et à la fiction de nombreuses autrices américaines. Dans cet entretien au long cours donné à une autre collectivité étudiante (un groupe d'étudiant·es de l'école nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon, animé par François Aubart et François Piron), Sylvère Lotringer raconte l'histoire d'une aventure éditoriale encore vivante aujourd'hui et des manières de faire qu'il a développées pour maintenir pendant 40 ans une ligne politique fidèle en amitiés et attentive aux pulsations du monde contemporain.

Summary:
''Rights of way: The body as witness in public space'' takes our bodily movements as a departure point to cross into the terrains of art, culture, architecture, sociology, literature, and politics, to envision varied forms of witnessing, and apply them to our direct environments. When many must still campaign to claim their stake in the public realm; when hate crimes and acts of institutional violence persist in the public sphere; when cities continue to grapple with the effects of mass surveillance, precarious citizenship, widespread gentrification, and divisive body politics, we seek to question, challenge, and re-envision who have the rights of way. This publication comprises a collection of essays, interviews, texts, and images from a range of artists, researchers, academics, architects, and historians. Together, the contributions question our positions of access and in-access in space, and, in doing so, orchestrate the act of witnessing as a vital component in provid- ing meaning to our cities.

Épidémie de fausses nouvelles, polarisation des débats, contrôle des données personnelles, surconsommation énergétique et pollution atmosphérique… Ces barbares numériques représentent une véritable menace pour la démocratie. Devant la passivité de nos gouvernements, à Québec comme à Ottawa, Alain Saulnier lance un appel à la résistance. Pour l’ancien directeur de l’information de Radio-Canada, il est urgent d’établir l’équité fiscale, de protéger les droits d’auteur et de moderniser tout l’écosystème numérique. Il en va de la survie de nos médias, de notre langue et de notre culture françaises en Amérique du Nord.
