Lost in the logistical funhouse
From the deployment of chatbots as procurement negotiators by corporations such as Walmart to autonomous agents providing ‘differentiated chat’ for managing overbooked flights, synthetic media are making the world of logistics their ‘natural’ habitat. Here, the coordination of commodities, parts and labour design the problems and produce the training sets from which ‘solutions’ can be synthesised. But to what extent might synthetic media, surfaci…
Images of the arXiv
In an ongoing research project on the ascendancy of statistical visual forms, we have been concerned with the transformations wrought by such images and their organisation as datasets in ‘re-drawing’ knowledge about empirical phenomena. Historians and science studies researchers have long established the generative rather than simply illustrative role of images and figures within scientific practice. More recently, the deployment and generation o…
Platform Seeing
How can one 'see' the operationalization of contemporary visual culture, given the imperceptibility and apparent automation of so many processes and dimensions of visuality? Seeing - as a position from a singular mode of observation - has become problematic since many visual elements, techniques, and forms of observing are highly distributed through data practices of collection, analysis and prediction. Such practices are subtended by visual cult…
Transmateriality
This article focuses on signal as an aspect of modern technicity that precedes-or supersedes-codification. Examining DIY drone videos found on YouTube and the video art of Nam June Paik, among other sources, the article explores how each tests the flow of signal and signal processing as forms of transmateriality and transduction. the author draws particularly on the work of Gilbert Simondon and Adrian Mackenzie
Pushing at ‘Life's’ Pulls
In this ‘review’ of Escape Routes, by Dimitris Papadopoulos, Niamh Stephenson, and Vassilis Tsianos, I focus upon issues of ‘life’ and ‘experience’, examining the authors’ argument that experience is both primary and specific to contemporary control societies’ regime—that is, the regime of ‘life’ control. What is important here is that, while dealing with the problem of the pervasiveness of control over every aspect of life as the contemporary mo…
From a Biopolitical 'Will to Life' to a Noopolitical Ethos of Death in the Aesthetics of Digital Code
In a range of digital creative productions and digital culture, questions of how to deal with finitude are on the rise. On the one hand, sectors of the digital entertainment industry - specifically computer games developers - are concerned with the question of how to manage 'death' digitally. On the other hand, death and suicide have become the impetus for humorous artistic expression. This article tracks the emergence of a digital ethos that is …
The Henson photographs and the ‘network condition’
Like most academics who teach in an art school in Australia, the debate roused by the circulation and legal ‘capture’ of images of nude teenagers by Bill Henson in May 2008 provided me with a good
