For centuries, the physical book has been the ideal reading machine. So as books are increasingly supplanted by digital, onscreen reading, it is only natural that we find ourselves wondering what will be lost in the transition.

Summary:
In the past fifteen years, file sharing of digital cultural works between individuals has been at the center of a number of debates on the future of culture itself. To some, sharing constitutes piracy, to be fought against and eradicated. Others see it as unavoidable, and table proposals to compensate for its harmful effects. Meanwhile, little progress has been made(...)

Summary:
In the past fifteen years, file sharing of digital cultural works between individuals has been at the center of a number of debates on the future of culture itself. To some, sharing constitutes piracy, to be fought against and eradicated. Others see it as unavoidable, and table proposals to compensate for its harmful effects. Meanwhile, little progress has been made towards addressing the real challenges facing culture in a digital world. Sharing starts from a radically different viewpoint, namely that the non-market sharing of digital works is both legitimate and useful. Philippe Aigrain looks at the benefits of file sharing, which allows unknown writers and artists to be appreciated more easily. It supports this premise with empirical research, demonstrating that non-market sharing leads to more diversity in the attention given to various works.

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(...)

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.

Summary:
The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of artists whose primary medium is software. Algorithmic processes, harnessed through the medium of computer code, allow artists to generate increasingly complex visual forms that they otherwise might not have been able to imagine, let alone delineate. Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture is a non-technical introduction(...)

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:
Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité. Elles renforcent le règne de la compétition et l’exigence d’aller toujours plus vite, de se mobiliser intégralement pour son entreprise et sur les « réseaux sociaux », d’être capable de s’adapter à toutes les évolutions technoculturelles, sous peine d’être exclu. L’Homme numérique croit avoir trouvé l’autonomie en se débarrassant des pesanteurs du vieux monde matériel. « Enfin libre! », dit-il, alors qu’au contraire, il dépend de plus en plus de dispositifs technoscientifiques. Pour rester dans la course et tenter de maîtriser un réel qui lui échappe, il multiplie les machines. Mais ce sont elles qui désormais le possèdent.
