Summary:
Dans une démarche interdisciplinaire inspirée des études des sciences et techniques, articulant approches muséologiques et sociologiques, cette étude inédite sur les réserves des musées apporte un éclairage nouveau sur le monde de la conservation de l'art et du patrimoine. Lieu essentiel du musée où sont conservées les œuvres quand elles ne sont pas exposées, les réserves sont restées longtemps dans l'ombre des salles d'expositions. Or, dans la majorité des institutions, seule une infime portion des collections est présentée au public : il y a donc un réel enjeu à penser la relation entre leurs parts visible et invisible, les problématiques liées à leur stockage et leur mouvement, et le travail qu'elles impliquent.

L'architecture, son évolution comme sa connaissance, dépend en grande partie de la circulation et de la transmission dans l'espace et le temps d'une accumulation d'expériences, de règles ou de modèles.

Summary:
How does media architecture distribute suspicion and trust? What is a collage of media architecture? How is media architecture vectored? How can media architecture address privilege? These questions and conceptual provocations aim to challenge the binary of techno-optimism and technological agoraphobia, offering a platform for developing new, critically and contextually rooted theories that media architecture might grab hold of. Intentionally open-ended, ''Provocations on Media Architecture'' brings together 21 thought leaders across architecture, visual arts, design, curation, academia and public policy to address these ideas and themes. Authors respond with images and brief texts incorporating the perspective of their own creative and scholarly practice. Entries range from descriptions of relevant artworks and design projects to reflections spawned from first-person encounters with media architecture in situ, scholarly analyses and AI-assisted theory.

Summary:
Gérard Berréby s'entretient avec Aurélie Noury sur ce qui constitue sa première expérience éditoriale, au tout début des années 1980. En décidant de réaliser sur sa seule initiative une édition pirate du livre d'Aragon – alors opposé à tout retirage –, Gérard Berréby soulève plusieurs questions liées à l'appropriation et à l'autoédition : la copie et le faux, la circulation des textes, le détournement, le droit d'auteur, l'édition comme geste politique, la prescription, etc. L'épisode, inédit dans l'histoire de l'édition généraliste, aura provoqué de nombreuses réactions dans le monde littéraire, jusqu'aux poursuites judiciaires engagées par Gallimard. À partir des témoignages et documents d'époque, analysés par Berréby et mis en perspective par Nathalie Leleu plus de 40 ans après, l'ouvrage retrace les circonstances d'un geste fondateur pour le futur directeur des éditions Allia.

Summary:
Publishing is experiencing one of the most transformative phases in its history. In "Tactical publishing", a sequel to "Post-digital print", Alessandro Ludovico explores the forces driving this historical phase, highlighting the tremendous opportunities it presents. Our task, he believes, is to develop an alternative publishing system that transcends the dichotomy between paper and digital media. He focuses first on the two activities on which publishing is premised—reading and writing (with an emphasis onwriting machines and post-truth in the latter)—and then deconstructs the concept, proposing alternative strategies inspired by recent practices and unconventional uses of technology.

Summary:
What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing systems; from interfaces drawn by the augmentation of the hand and eye to users identified by self-quantification and the arrival of legions of sensors, algorithms, and robots. Together, how do these distort and deform modern political geographies and produce new territories in their own image? In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, design theory, and computer science, Bratton explores six layers of ''The Stack'': Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User.

Summary:
Our contemporary digital landscape often reflects a strange logic: Elon Musk believes there’s a one-in-a-billion chance that we are not living in a computer simulation. People argue about culturally collective false memories popularly known as "Mandela Effects." And various factions engaged in a magic meme war leading up to the 2016 election. In "The unseen internet," Shira Chess explores the tensions between the occult and digital spaces in the twenty-first century. These practices have resulted in distinct kinds of otherworldly discourse that affects the broader popular perceptions of reality in the twenty-first century, within and beyond the internet.

Summary:
This book is a history. It gathers anecdotes, artworks, and historical artifacts that reveal the pervasive and perverted origins of our digital tools. This book is a script. It documents "A sexual history of the internet," a participatory lecture performance told through the audience’s phones. It is a polyvocal story, whose citations are read aloud by the audience — performance as re-citation. This book is a fiscal experiment of redistribution. In it, you’ll find citations by 45 people who have shaped my understanding of the internet, sex, and sexual technologies. When you buy this book, they will split a percentage of profits. We call this experiment "Citational Splits," a new model of attribution.

If humanistic research consists of the generation of consensus positions, simple expression, summarized texts, or passable translations, then we have arrived at the place where AI is able to accomplish these different missions to a convincing degree. However, Laurent Dubreuil argues, such tasks do not, in any way, constitute the humanities. On the contrary, he posits, a(...)

Summary:
If humanistic research consists of the generation of consensus positions, simple expression, summarized texts, or passable translations, then we have arrived at the place where AI is able to accomplish these different missions to a convincing degree. However, Laurent Dubreuil argues, such tasks do not, in any way, constitute the humanities. On the contrary, he posits, a maximalist take on scholarship would not focus on generation but on creation, as a subject and as an object. Dubreuil seizes the opportunity of what AI reveals about the meaning of humanistic inquiry to offer a path for the renewal of the humanities on transhistorical, transcultural, and transdisciplinary grounds.

Summary:
"Archiving machines" advances our understanding of memory, information, and data by charting the struggle between the computing technologies that archive data and the cultures of information that have led to platforms that assert control over its use. Amelia Acker examines the origins of data archives and the computing processes of storage, exchange, and transmission. Each chapter introduces data archiving processes that relate to the evolution of data sovereignty we experience today: from magnetic tape and timesharing computer models from the 1950s, to the establishment of data banks and the rise of database processing and managed data silos in the 1970s, to file structures and virtual containers in cloud-based information services over the past 40 years.
