Résumé:
Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se(...)

Résumé:
Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se trouve réduit à un ensemble de fonctions motrices, cognitives, etc. L’altérité disparaît. Il n’y a plus de rupture entre l’homme et la machine, la pensée elle-même étant conceptualisée comme une propriété émergente des interactions au sein d’un substrat matériel biologique ou électronique.

Résumé:
Interspace investigates the spatial and social consequences of a data-driven society where personalised information flows produce a multitude of personalised readings of the collective sphere and thus, the role of public space is to be questioned. Accompanied by a new understanding about authorship and new techniques of design, this participatory model calls out for new ways of organising spaces. With regard to the changes that the last substantial structural transformation of the public – web 2.0 – has brought along in architecture, Interspace analyses what has architecture got to do with big data and what is the architects’ role at the time when their expertise is being challenged by digital technologies.

Résumé:
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 --(...)

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
This book, based on the authors’ internationally renowned Emergent Technologies and Design course at the Architectural Association in London, introduces a new approach to the practice of architecture. The authors use essays and projects to demonstrate the interrelationship of concepts such as emergence and self-organisation with the latest technologies in design, manufacturing and construction. With projects from their course, and critiques and commentary from some of the world’s leading design theorists and practitioners, the authors of Emergent Technologies and Design have introduced a radical new way of understanding the way in which architecture is conceived, designed and produced.

Résumé:
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.
