Operative communication
This article examines the connecting lines between the Chilean Project Cybersyn’s interface design , the German Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm and its cybernetically inspired approaches towards information design , and later developments in interaction design and the emerging field of Human–Computer Interaction in the USA. In particular, it first examines how early works of designers Tomàs Maldonado and Gui Bonsiepe on operative communication , th…
The Great Pacific Garbage Catch. Müll als Medium einer ‹Plastic Oceanography›
Traffic life
The article discusses the interplay of normative and temporal dynamics in agent-based traffic simulations (ABM). From a media-historical perspective, it focuses on the TRANSIMS simulation system as a seminal example for an ABM ‘mindset’ in transportation and infrastructure simulation. ABM explicitly links traffic simulation with the broader focus of mobility studies by connecting the mere physicality of transport dynamics with a sociality of agen…
Die Quadratur des Bermudadreiecks
The Squaring of the Bermuda Triangle . In the course of the great success of theory programs and the funding of young researchers within media studies and the history of science over the past 15 years, a generation of scholars has emerged (including the authors of this article) who have been genuinely trained in approaching interdisciplinary problems and objects. However, in view of a recently increasing renaissance of scientific ‘disciplines’, t…
Kulturtechniken der Synchronisation
Zootechnologies
This contribution examines the media history of swarm research and the significance of swarming techniques to current socio-technological processes. It explores how the procedures of swarm intelligence should be understood in relation to the concept of cultural techniques. This brings the concept into proximity with recent debates in posthuman (media) theory, animal studies and software studies. Swarms are conceptualized as zootechnologies that r…
