Résumé:
Digital and social media have transformed how much and how fast we communicate, but they have also altered the palette of expressive strategies: the cultural forms that shape how citizens, activists, and artists speak and interact. Most familiar among these strategies are storytelling and representation. In A Theory of Assembly, Kyle Parry argues that one of the most powerful and pervasive cultural forms in the digital era is assembly. Whether as subtle photographic sequences, satirical Venn diagrams, or networked archives, projects based in assembly do not so much narrate or represent the world as rearrange it. This work of rearranging can take place at any scale, from a simple pairing of images, undertaken by one person, to the entire history of internet memes, undertaken by millions. With examples ranging from GIFs and paintings to museum exhibitions and social movement hashtags, Parry shows how, in the internet age, assembly has come to equal narrative and representation in its reach and influence, particularly as a response to ecological and social violence. He also emphasizes the ambivalence of assembly—the way it can be both emancipatory and antidemocratic.

Depuis le développement de l’imprimerie, la civilisation occidentale vivait dans la culture du livre comme les poissons vivent dans l’eau, c’est-à-dire sans le savoir. Elle avait à ce point imprégné nos façons de sentir et de penser que nous avions fini par la confondre avec la nature humaine. Les technologies numériques nous ont brutalement confrontés au fait qu’il existe d’autres relations possibles à l’identité, au temps, aux autres, à l’espace et aux apprentissages. Et du coup, nous ne pouvons plus penser l’homme, la culture, l’enseignement et l’éducation de la même façon.

Résumé:
Architects are now taking advantage of the computer in new ways through experimentation with algorithmic and simulation-driven design. Computation Works focuses on this emerging theme in design practice, showcasing built and soon to be built projects and providing a state of the art in computational design. The use of algorithmic and simulation-driven design raises important new questions which the book examines including: how is computation changing the way architects design? How can computation create new forms of architecture? Is there an aesthetic to computational architecture? Are the design tools and methods related to the result?

Résumé:
The world is filling with ever more kinds of media, in ever more contexts and formats. Physical locations are increasingly tagged and digitally augmented. Sensors, processors, and memory are not found only in chic smart phones but also built into everyday objects. So it is worth remembering that underneath all these augmentations and data flows, fixed forms persist, and that to notice them can improve other sensibilities. Ambient Commons invites readers to look past current obsessions with smart phones to rethink attention itself, to care for more situated, often inescapable forms of information.

In Illusions in Motion, Erkki Huhtamo excavates this neglected early manifestation of media culture in the making.

Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera(...)

The moving panorama was a long painting that unscrolled behind a “window” by means of a mechanical cranking system, accompanied by a lecture, music, and sometimes sound and light effects. Showmen exhibited such panoramas in venues that ranged from opera houses to church halls, creating a market for mediated realities in both city and country.

Résumé:
Nous sommes en 1763. L'un des maîtres de la correspondance s'adresse ici à monsieur de Sartine, son vieil ami, alors directeur de la Librairie. Et c'est un véritable plaidoyer pour la défense du Libraire-Éditeur. Il s'interroge d'abord sur le lien entre le commerce et la littérature et décrit avec soin, mais sans la condamner, la transformation de la valeur littéraire en valeur mercantile. Ce faisant, il lie le sort de la littérature à celui de l'édition. Il plaide en faveur d'un fonds de librairie, celui qui s'écoule lentement, en équilibre avec les ventes plus rapides. Au fil d'une véritable enquête, il démontre par là même au lecteur contemporain que les problèmes qui se posent aujourd'hui au libraire ou à l'éditeur sont loin d'être récents, bien qu'ils se posent aujourd’hui plus que jamais.
