The behavior economy: The creation of behavior as an object of online surveillance
Facial analysis: Automated surveillance and the attempt to quantify emotion
Even as attempts are being made to curtail the mass deployment of automated facial recognition systems in many countries, there are efforts to harvest new kinds of personal information from faces. Facial emotion recognition is a particularly ambitious form of facial analysis – an automated process in which faces are sorted amongst sets of categories – which has recently drawn criticism. The ways in which basic attributes of facial expression and …
Machines with Faces: Robot Bodies and the Problem of Cruelty
Even if it is never possible to create a sentient robot that might lay claim to the status of personhood, a convincingly realistic robotic simulation of the human body could alter how human beings act towards one another. This article argues that the human face exerts a powerful influence over interpersonal interaction, creating empathetic connections that limit our capacity to engage in acts of cruelty; an ability to convincingly simulate the hu…
An Aesthetics of the Invisible: Nanotechnology and Informatic Matter
The molecule, as a perfect and ageless building block of matter that exists beyond human reach, has been an object of fascination and admiration since the 19th century. However, the discourse surrounding nanotechnology - at least at its most optimistic - promises the possibility of human mastery over this domain and, as a result, over all matter. This belief carries forward the old idea of a division between a realm of the base, material and part…
National Register Testing at 41BQ285, Bosque County, Texas: FM 56 Bridge Replacement at the North Bosque River
Prewitt and Associates, Inc., conducted archeological test excavations at 41BQ285 in June 2006 for the Texas Department of Transportation under Texas Antiquities Permit No. 4102. Site 41BQ285, in southeastern Bosque County, was located during an archeological survey for the proposed replacement of the FM 56 bridge over the North Bosque River. It is a prehistoric campsite buried in a cumulic soil in the upper deposits of a late Holocene alluvial t…
The virtual ideal: Virtual idols, cute technology and unclean biology
The virtual idol, a computer-generated media starlet largely confined to Japan, takes the logic of corporately managed celebrity and simplifies it to the point of caricature. However, despite the s

Urban evolution in the USA
On a sustained basis, cities are of non-uniform relative sizes. This paper addresses three basic issues which arise from this simple observation by examining the size distribution of US cities over the period 1900–1990. First, we explore the reasons why there is a wide distribution of city sizes. Second, we characterize the evolution of the size distribution of cities, documenting growth in sizes and numbers of cities. We ask whether the relative…
