Summary:
Mapmaking has been an essential part of human development since ancient times: through the art of cartography, people have been able to record geographical explorations and communicate spatial information in relation to themselves and the land around them, using fixed points and lived experiences as references. In the digital age, maps are just as likely to convey the(...)

Summary:
Mapmaking has been an essential part of human development since ancient times: through the art of cartography, people have been able to record geographical explorations and communicate spatial information in relation to themselves and the land around them, using fixed points and lived experiences as references. In the digital age, maps are just as likely to convey the relationships between individual users and amorphous data as they are to depict the relationships between human beings and the stars and planets above. "Blind maps and blue dots" examines the impact of the omnipresent computer on current understandings of data visualization and graphic design, in which the boundaries between producers and users of maps has become increasingly blurred. This text is structured around three contemporary mapmaking practices: Google Maps' location function, referred to as the Blue Dot; a global map that displays the physical activity of users of the fitness app Strava; and the 'Situation in Syria' maps series, a regularly updated map of the Syrian conflict designed by an Amsterdam teenager. Like every other field, graphic design must evolve to reflect the modern world and the needs of its people. "Blind maps and blue dots" offers a new approach that acknowledges and even encourages the breakdown of the binary between producer and user.

Summary:
Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation.

Summary:
Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation. By applying digital technologies to processes of market exchange—everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services—Big Tech aims to subject these activities to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. But there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped precipitate. If we are to break their grip on the global economy then it’ll take more than just antitrust legislation or reducing individual time online. By understanding the central role Big Tech plays in contemporary capitalism, Dyer-Witheford and Mularoni argue that what is required instead is a new, ambitious and comprehensive program of democratic collective planning that can move us beyond capitalism. ''Cybernetic Circulation Complex'' offers not only a compelling analysis of the power of Big Tech and their role in our current global crises, but a roadmap for a new form of life: biocommunism, a digital degrowth that can help us steer between the double boundaries of ecological sustainability and equitable social development.

Summary:
More than an exhibition catalogue, this reference book is lavishly illustrated with the works from the 25 exhibitions of the event, and includes essays by leading commentators on contemporary art and technology. The camera is not a tool just waiting to be picked up and used, but a sophisticated instrument with its own laws, its own ways of working, and even its own life. With the incorporation of automatic devices – and, more recently, computers – the camera has its own agency. It can see what is invisible to the human eye; it can work continuously; it can travel to places that humans would find impossible or dangerous to visit; it can enter the human body and travel into outer space. It has been taken for granted that the photographic image is the most important aspect of the photographic process. However, the artists and writers in Drone: The Automated Image suggest something completely different. At the centre of their concerns is the changing relationship between the camera and the body and how the camera can function with little human involvement. As humans rely more and more on technology to extend vision, the camera takes on behaviours associated with the body. From CCTV to Google Street View, from remote cameras to robots, and from photo booths to drones, cameras are remaking the conditions of human existence.

Summary:
Bien plus qu’un catalogue d’exposition, cet ouvrage de référence abondamment illustré présente les œuvres des vingt-cinq expositions de l’événement, et comprend des essais rédigés par des experts en art contemporain et en technologie. L’appareil photo n’est pas seulement un outil en attente d’être saisi et utilisé, mais aussi un instrument sophistiqué possédant ses propres lois, son propre fonctionnement, voire sa propre vie. Grâce à l’automatisation de ses mécanismes – et, plus récemment, l’intégration de l’ordinateur –, l’appareil photo est désormais capable d’intention et d’action. Il peut voir ce qui est invisible à l’oeil nu, fonctionner sans relâche, atteindre des endroits inaccessibles ou dangereux, et il peut aussi bien pénétrer le corps que voyager dans l’espace. On a longtemps considéré l’image comme étant l’aspect le plus important du processus photographique. Cependant, les artistes et les auteurs de Drone : l’image automatisée présentent une tout autre conception. Au centre de leurs préoccupations se trouve la relation en pleine mutation entre le corps et l’appareil photo, et la manière dont celui-ci peut opérer avec un minimum d’intervention. Tandis que l’humain s’appuie de plus en plus sur la technologie pour prolonger sa vision, l’appareil photo devient une extension du corps. De la télévision en circuit fermé à Google Street View, des contrôles à distance aux robots, des photomatons aux drones, l’appareil photo est en voie de redéfinir les conditions de l’existence humaine.

Summary:
As digital technology advances at breakneck speed, images are circulating quicker than ever before. But what is the status of the image in the digital era? In this publication, art historian Hubert Burda (born 1940) examines the "iconic turn" in ten themed chapters and conversations with leading cultural theorists. In the first chapter, "The View Through the Window," Burda traces the connection between perspectival painting and the television, demonstrating in the second chapter how the image requires a frame, which in turn requires a material vehicle - the topic of the third chapter - that in our era has become a non-material vehicle with its own formal parameters. In the fourth chapter, "The Mobile Image," Burda shows how images have always been linked to portability, but now migrate to an unprecedented degree, so that anyone with a personal device can globally disseminate, say, footage from a concert via Youtube. A discussion of the capacity of individual images to placate or ennervate leads to a seventh chapter on the appetite for the Sublime and the rhetoric and representation of power throughout art history. Following a discussion of the democratization of celebrity culture, Burda proposes that the Google search box is perhaps the most interesting "interface" of our times, analogous to the seventeenth-century cabinet of curiosities (or wunderkammer). Conversations with Friedrich Kittler, Peter Sloterdijk, Bazon Brock, Horst Bredekamp and Hans Belting further extend this imaginative debate on the "iconic turn."
