Résumé:
The normative order and authoritarian use of conventional archives has long been criticised. This volume investigates the digitally informed transformation and multiplication of archives today, in conjunction with the increase in both accessibility and the amount of data produced, stored, and circulated. Despite improved search capabilities, documents, photographs, and other images are in danger of vanishing. Yet new knowledge, connotations, and materialities are also emerging. Through various texts and artworks, a selection of contemporary artistic and research-based approaches to existing archives, the act of collecting images, and creating new archives is represented.

Résumé:
Nous entrons dans « l’ère post-numérique », les technologies du numérique ne sont plus perçues comme un phénomène révolutionnaire, mais plutôt comme faisant partie intégrante de notre quotidien. La mutation de l’industrie de la musique et du cinéma, où les fichiers circulent en « bits et octets » via les téléchargements et le streaming, est désormais tenue pour acquise. Cependant, dans le monde de l’édition de livres et de revues, cette transformation ne fait que commencer. Pourtant, les prémices de cette mutation sont loin d’être récents. Depuis plus d’un siècle, des artistes d’avant-garde, des activistes et des ingénieurs ont anticipé le développement des réseaux et de l’édition numérique. Bien que la mort annoncée du papier ait été largement exagérée, l’édition numérique est désormais devenue une réalité. Comment l’analogique et le numérique vont-ils coexister dans l’ère post-numérique ? Comment vont-ils s’entrecroiser, se mélanger et se dépasser ? Dans ce livre, Alessandro Ludovico repense l’histoire de la technologie des médias, de l’activisme culturel et des arts d’avant-garde comme une préhistoire de la soi-disant dichotomie entre papier et numérique.

When we speak of clouds these days, it is as likely that we mean data clouds or network clouds as cumulus or stratus. In their sharing of the term, both kinds of clouds reveal an essential truth: that the natural world and the technological world are not so distinct.

Résumé:
Earth Moves, Bernard Cache's first major work, conceptualizes a series of architectural images as vehicles for two important developments. First, he offers a new understanding of the architectural image itself. Following Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson, he develops an account of the image that is nonrepresentational and constructive—images as constituents of a primary, image world, of which subjectivity itself is a special kind of image. Second, Cache redefines architecture beyond building proper to include cinematic, pictoral, and other framings. Complementary to this classification, Cache offers what is to date the only Deleuzean architectural development of the "fold," a form and concept that has become important over the last few years. For Cache, as for Deleuze, what is significant about the fold is that it provides a way to rethink the relationship between interior and exterior, between past and present, and between architecture and the urban.

Résumé:
Le potentiel de la bibliothèque de consolider le lien entre la ville et l'homme contemporain invalide les fondements des années 1990, basés sur une vision hiérarchique de l'espace, au profit d'une conception vicinale. La définition d'un espace non-hiérarchique apparaît alors comme l'emblème de tout projet architectural.

Résumé:
Constant activity in digital and analogue spaces leaves behind an increasingly diffuse feeling of unease, irrespective of how commonplace that activity may be. Meantime however, the marketing of social relations, the dissolution of the private sphere, and the dominance of commercial actors are being perceived as a problem that demands an active interdisciplinary discourse. Media scientists and artists reflect here on that unease and present perspectives on and ways out of the excessive demands on users by way of the most recent research and artistic experiments. This book brings together essays and provides insight into the international group exhibition featuring works by Olia Lialina, Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, and Benjamin Grosser, among others.

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.''

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.
