- PublikationRadio Explorations. Architectonic Studies of Electromagnetic Milieux(transcript, 2024) Savic, SelenaRadio signals keep making material, informational, political, and social connections in this world. Exploring these signals architectonically, the contributors engage with the situatedness of radio signal recordings in nature and with knowledge implied in radio communication. Rooted in experimental design and data feminism, the book presents innovative tools for navigating data by spanning media theory, information studies, and feminist new materialism. This offers an intersectional and post-disciplinary approach to computation, classification, and search that is accessible to artists, technologists, and researchers – facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and deepening the understanding of information technologies.03 - Sammelband
- PublikationDie Karte als Interface(Schüren, 03/2017) Schranz, Christine [in: Interaktive Medien: Interfaces - Netze - Virtuelle Welten]Digitale Karten und Kartendienste sind im Begriff, ubiquitär zu werden. Für den Paradigmenwechsel sind insbesondere Navigationsgeräte, GPS-Daten sowie Satellitenaufnahmen verantwortlich, welche neue Produkte und Technologien zum Repräsentieren und Produzieren der Welt hervorgebracht und dadurch die Ubiquität von Karten erst möglich gemacht haben. Die verstärkte Zuwendung zum Raum hat paradigmatisch die Karte als neues Interface hervorgebracht. Dabei stellen georeferenzierte Medien eine neue Raumordnung her, in welcher die Beziehung von Raum und Ort neu organisiert wird. In Bezug zu dieser Raumordnung sind die Interaktion und der Bezug von Mensch-Maschine ausschlaggebend. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Ästhetisierung von Benutzeroberflächen. Entlang eines Designdiskurses umreißt der Beitrag einflussreiche Tendenzen und Phänomene und beleuchtet zugleich Praxen aus einer historischen Perspektive.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
- PublikationMealSense: A fiction about datafication and algorithms in commoning food(Design Research Society, 06/2024) Bedö, Viktor [in: DRS2024: Boston]Commoning is on the rise as a socio-economic practice advancing the outlook of more just food systems. While smaller commoning operations can predominantly rely on informal arrangements, tracking and monitoring the conditions of the use of resources becomes vital for larger operations. This paper explores the datafication of hunger, pleasure, ingredients, cooking and spoiled food for crafting imaginaries of commoning-based algorithmic food futures. To address not only frictions around datafication but also gainful proposals, the paper mobilizes concepts of ‘unwieldy data’, ‘good enough data’, and ‘minimal feasible datafication’. It uses fiction writing as a method to amalgamate scholarly references in the field of citizen sensing and smart city critique with preliminary learnings from a speculative city-making project into an infrastructural proposal. The text aims to prompt a wider debate about the potentials and pitfalls of algorithmic governance and datafication in infrastructures for the urban-scale distribution of material resources, such as food.05 - Forschungs- oder Arbeitsbericht
- PublikationOM(Bloomsbury Academic, 01.12.2023) Chattopadhyay, Budhaditya; Herzogenrath, Bernd [in: A sound word almanac]This almanac of sound words important to artists and scholars highlights words that expand the way we speak (and write) about sonic experiences. Why write about sound, and how? If sonic philosophy is the attempt "to think about sound by philosophical means," then a metaphilosophical debate appears almost immediately on the horizon: What is called for is an understanding about sound and language, but also about the preconditions of musical understanding. What is at stake is the question of language and sound, as well as expanding how we speak about sonic experience. This almanac tackles these questions from artistic, experimental and personal perspectives. An assemblage of nearly 70 practitioners and theoreticians, artists and scholars offer their favorite ‘sound word.’ These sound words are onomatopoetical, mythological, practical; words of personal importance to the artists and their craft; words from their memory, related to sound. Many entries are not in English – some are untranslatable – and all are accompanied by a personal, explanatory, poetic entry. These are words that have the potential to change our perspective on listening-musicking-thinking.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
- PublikationSound Practices in the Global South(Palgrave Macmillan, 30.11.2022) Chattopadhyay, BudhadityaThis book develops a comprehensive understanding of the unique sound worlds of key regions in the Global South, through an auto-ethnographic method of self-reflective conversations with prominent sound practitioners from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The conversations navigate various trajectories of sound practices, illuminating intricate sonic processes of listening, thinking through sounds, ideating, exposing, and performing with sound. This collection of conversations constitutes the main body of the book, including critical and scholarly commentaries on aural cultures, sound theory and production. The book builds a ground-up approach to nurturing knowledge about aural cultures and sonic aesthetics, moving beyond the Eurocentric focus of contemporary sound studies. Instead of understanding sound practices through consumption and entertainment, they are explored as complex cultural and aesthetic systems, working directly with the practitioners themselves, who largely contribute to the development of the sonic methodologies. Refocusing on the working methods of practitioners, the book reveals a tension between the West’s predominant colonial-consumerist cultures, and the collective desires of practitioners to resist colonial models of listening by expressing themselves in terms of their arts and craft, and their critical faculties.
