Depuis le développement de l’imprimerie, la civilisation occidentale vivait dans la culture du livre comme les poissons vivent dans l’eau, c’est-à-dire sans le savoir. Elle avait à ce point imprégné nos façons de sentir et de penser que nous avions fini par la confondre avec la nature humaine.

Summary:
Depuis le développement de l’imprimerie, la civilisation occidentale vivait dans la culture du livre comme les poissons vivent dans l’eau, c’est-à-dire sans le savoir. Elle avait à ce point imprégné nos façons de sentir et de penser que nous avions fini par la confondre avec la nature humaine. Les technologies numériques nous ont brutalement confrontés au fait qu’il existe d’autres relations possibles à l’identité, au temps, aux autres, à l’espace et aux apprentissages. Et du coup, nous ne pouvons plus penser l’homme, la culture, l’enseignement et l’éducation de la même façon.

Sensors, processors, and memory are not found only in chic smart phones but also built into everyday objects. So it is worth remembering that underneath all these augmentations and data flows, fixed forms persist, and(...)

Summary:
The world is filling with ever more kinds of media, in ever more contexts and formats. Physical locations are increasingly tagged and digitally augmented. Sensors, processors, and memory are not found only in chic smart phones but also built into everyday objects. So it is worth remembering that underneath all these augmentations and data flows, fixed forms persist, and that to notice them can improve other sensibilities. Ambient Commons invites readers to look past current obsessions with smart phones to rethink attention itself, to care for more situated, often inescapable forms of information.

Summary:
In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making. The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a “window” by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera(...)

Summary:
In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making. The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a “window” by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera houses to church halls, creating a market for mediated realities in both city and country.

Summary:
Google, Facebook, Amazon, mais aussi les banques et les assureurs : la constitution d’énormes bases de données (les « big data ») confère une place de plus en plus centrale aux algorithmes. L’ambition de ce livre est de montrer comment ces nouvelles techniques de calcul bouleversent notre société. À travers le classement de l’information, la personnalisation publicitaire, la recommandation de produits, le ciblage des comportements ou l’orientation des déplacements, les méga-calculateurs sont en train de s’immiscer, de plus en plus intimement, dans la vie des individus. Or, loin d’être de simples outils techniques, les algorithmes véhiculent un projet politique. Comprendre leur logique, les valeurs et le type de société qu’ils promeuvent, c’est donner aux internautes les moyens de reprendre du pouvoir dans la société des calculs.
