Résumé:
David Parisi offers the first full history of haptic interface technologies, showing how the efforts of scientists and engineers over the past 300 years have gradually remade and redefined our sense of touch. Through lively analyses of electrical machines, videogames, sex toys, sensory substitution systems, robotics, and human-computer interfaces, Parisi shows how the materiality of touch technologies has been shaped by attempts to transform human into more efficient processors of information.

Résumé:
Our daily lives, our culture, and our politics are now shaped by the digital condition, in which greater numbers of people are engaged in negotiating meaning in ever more dimensions of life, from the trivial to the profound. They are making use of a complex communication infrastructure, currently dominated by social mass media such as Twitter and Facebook, on which they have come to depend.Amidst a confusing plurality, Felix Stalder argues that there are three key constituents of this condition: the use of existing cultural materials for one’s own production, the way in which new meaning is established as a collective endeavor, and the underlying role of algorithms and automated decision-making processes that give shape to massive volumes of data. These three characteristics define what Stalder calls “the digital condition.”

Résumé:
''Fantasies of the Library'' imagines, and enacts, the library as both keeper of books and curator of ideas as a platform of the future. The book includes an essay on the institutional ordering principles of book collections; a conversation with the proprietors of the Prelinger Library in San Francisco; reflections on the role of cultural memory and the archive; and a dialogue with a new media theorist about experiments at the intersection of curatorial practice and open-source ebooks. The reader emerges from this book-as-exhibition with the growing conviction that the library is not only a curatorial space but a bibliological imaginary, ripe for the exploration of consequential paginated affairs. The physicality of the book- and this book- ''resists the digital,'' argues coeditor Etienne Turpin, ''but not in a nostalgic way.''

Résumé:
À l’intersection des humanités numériques et de l’archéologie des médias, cet essai propose un projet critique des éditions de CDrom d’auteur des années 1990. En s’appuyant sur une contextualisation socio-technique érudite de ces supports de stockages numériques prometteurs et sur de fines descriptions des interfaces et des parcours au sein de ces univers clos, Gilles Rouffineau livre de précieuses analyses d’objets éditoriaux qui ont marqué la décennie et qui sont aujourd’hui difficilement consultables. Reprise d’une recherche doctorale en sciences de l’art rendue publique en 2006, la démarche scientifique de cet amateur de CDrom éclairé pose la question d’un désir de transmission des données et d’un partage d’expériences contrarié par l’obsolescence technique et le caractère incertain de ces objets culturels.

Revenant sur l'histoire du code numérique et la manière dont les artistes s'en sont emparés depuis l'avènement de l'ordinateur dans les années 1960, ce livre fait apparaître un univers esthétique et critique commun qui questionne notre quotidien entièrement irrigué par les logiques numériques. Les artistes, les musiciens, les écrivains, les architectes, les créateurs de toutes disciplines ont en effet été les prescripteurs et les inventeurs d'une approche alternative du code.

Résumé:
Over the past fifty years, preservation policy has evolved very little, despite escalating accusations that landmarking and historic districting can inhibit affordable housing, economic development, and socioeconomic diversity. The potential to understand these dynamics and effect positive change is hindered by a lack of data and evidence-based research to better understand these impacts. One of the biggest barriers to preservation research has been the lack of data sets that can be used for geospatial, evidence-based, and longitudinal analyses. This first book in the series ''Issues in Preservation Policy'' explores the ways that enhancing the collection, accuracy, and management of data can serve a critical role in identifying vulnerable neighborhoods, understanding the role of older buildings in economic vitality and community resilience, planning sustainable growth, and more.

Résumé:
This book makes available for the first time in English an important interview on the topic of photography that Jacques Derrida granted in 1992 to the German theorist of photography Hubertus von Amelunxen and the German literary and media theorist Michael Wetzel. Their conversation addresses questions of presence and its manufacture, the technicity of presentation, the volatility of the authorial subject, and the concept of memory. Derrida offers a penetrating intervention with regard to the distinctive nature of photography vis-à-vis related technologies such as cinema, television, and video. Questioning the divides between so-called old and new media, original and reproduction, analog and digital modes of recording and presenting, he provides stimulating insights into the ways in which we think and speak about the photographic image today.
