The mis- sion of the Leonardo book series, published by The MIT Press, is to publish texts by artists, scientists, researchers, and scholars that present innovative discourse on the convergence of art, science, and technology. Envisioned as a catalyst for enterprise, research, and creative and scholarly experimentation, the book series enables diverse intellectual communities to explore common grounds of expertise. The Leonardo book series provides a context for the discussion of contemporary practice, ideas, and frameworks in this rapidly evolving arena where art and science connect.

Leonardo/International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology (ISAST) Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technol- ogy, and the affiliated French organization Association Leonardo have two very simple goals: 1. to document and make known the work of artists, researchers, and scholars interested in the ways that the contemporary arts interact with sci- ence and technology, and 2. to create a forum and meeting places where artists, scientists, and engi- neers can meet, exchange ideas, and, where appropriate, collaborate. When the journal Leonardo was started some thirty-six years ago, these cre- ative disciplines existed in segregated institutional and social networks, a sit- uation dramatized at that time by the “Two Cultures” debates initiated by C. P. Snow. Today we live in a different time of cross-disciplinary ferment, collaboration and intellectual confrontation enabled by new hybrid organiza- tions, new funding sponsors, and the shared tools of computers and the In- ternet. Above all, new generations of artist-researchers and researcher-artists are now at work individually and in collaborative teams bridging the art, sci- ence, and technology disciplines. Perhaps in our lifetime we will see the emer- gence of “new Leonardos,” creative individuals or teams who will not only develop a meaningful art for our times but also drive new agendas in science and stimulate technological innovation that addresses today’s human needs.

Series Foreword x Foreword: Protocol Is as Protocol Does Eugene Thacker There’s a scene in the 1982 film Tron, in which Kevin Flynn, a computer pro- grammer by day and hacker by night, gets sucked into the digital world of computers. There he meets software programs, each with personalities and identities of their own, held hostage by the “MCP” or “Master Control Pro- gram,” a kind of despotic operating system that absorbs all software and all parts of the network into itself. One of the hostage programs named Tron, a security application leading a revolution against the MCP, asks Flynn about the mysteries of the world of “Users.” Flynn: I’m what you guys call a “User”... Tron: Well if you are a user, then everything you’ve done has been according to a plan, right? Flynn: (laughs) You wish... you guys know what it’s like, you keep on doing what it looks like you’re supposed to be doing, no matter how crazy it seems. Tron: That’s the way it is with programs, yes, but— Flynn: I hate to disappoint you pal, but most of the time that’s the way it is for users too... Tron was made by Disney Studios in the early 1980s as part of an attempt to reinvent itself for a new generation of potential consumers. In particular, Tron was indicative of a particular type of early 1980s culture, one in which “personal” computers were becoming more and more ubiquitous, along with a booming video game industry and an equally large, middle-class geek cul- ture to go with it. It was also a culture of perceived conflicts between com- puter mega-corporations and an emerging hacker subculture, both hatched in the midst of Reaganomics and the Japanese microelectronics boom. The list of gadgets spawned during this period has now entered the cultural mu- seum of dead technology: video game arcades, Atari home consoles, Casio synthesizers, Commodore home computers, floppy disks, laserdiscs, the Walk- man, and of course the neon lights of 1980s new wave music. It was from within this 1980s moment that William Gibson crafted the world of Neuro- mancer, and all of this is already making a comeback in the cultural nostalgia of “electroclash.” But more than being about fashion, the American middle-class youth culture Tron targeted was also one that existed during significant technolog- ical transformations, transformations we are still understanding today. The development of the personal computer, along with computer networks, has had a profound, stratified impact on the way in which social, political, and economic life is experienced. Recent discussions of the post-industrial soci- ety, the information society, the network society, disciplinary society, control society, informatization, scale-free networks, small worlds, and smart mobs are all ways of attempting to understand how social change is indissociable from technological development (research, design, use, distribution, market- ing, naturalization, consumption)—though not determined by it. This last point is crucial. If one is to foster an understanding and awareness of how the social and the political are not external to technology, then it is important to understand how the technological is in some sense isomorphic to the social and the political. This book—Protocol—points to one possible path for doing this. Through- out the discussions on power, control, and decentralization, Protocol consis- tently makes a case for a material understanding of technology. “Material” can be taken in all senses of the term, as an ontological category as well as a political and economic one. This type of materialist media studies shows how the question “how does it work?” is also the question “whom does it work for?” In short, the technical specs matter, ontologically and politically. As Galloway states here, “I attempt to read the never-ending stream of computer code as we read any text, decoding its structure of control.” But this is clearly not literary criticism. Nor is it semiotics—textual, visual, or otherwise. This is because computer code is always enacted. Code is a set of procedures, ac- tions, and practices, designed in particular ways to achieve particular ends in particular contexts.

  • A System of Formal Notation for Scoring Works of Digital and Variable Media Art Richard Rinehart University of California, Berke
    A System of Formal Notation for Scoring Works of Digital and Variable Media Art Richard Rinehart University of California, Berkeley Abstract This paper proposes a new approach to conceptualizing digital and media art forms. This theoretical approach will be explored through issues raised in the process of creating a formal declarative model for digital and media art. This methodology of implementing theory as a way of exploring and testing it is intended to mirror the practices of both art making and computer processing. In these practices, higher-level meanings are manifested at lower levels of argument, symbolization, or concretization so that they can be manipulated and engaged, resulting in a new understanding of a theory or the formulation of new higher-level meaning. This practice is inherently interactive and cyclical. Similarly, this paper is informed by previous work and ideas in this area, and is intended to inform and serve as a vehicle for ongoing exchange around media art. The approach presented and explored here is intended to inform a better understanding of media art forms and to provide the lower level 'hooks' that support the creation, use and preservation of media art. In order to accomplish both of those goals, media art works will not be treated here as isolated and idealized entities, but rather as entities in the complex environment of the real world where they encounter various agents, life-cycle events, and practical concerns. This paper defines the Media Art Notation System and provides implementation examples in the appendices. 1 Digital / Media Art and the Need for a Formal Notation System Digital and media art forms include Internet art, software art, computer-mediated installations, as well as other non-traditional art forms such as conceptual art, installation art, performance art, and video.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

Contents 1 History 2 Function 3 Features 3.1 User interface 3.2 Privacy and security 3.3 Standards support 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History Main article: History of the web browser The history of the Web browser dates back in to the late 1980s, when a variety of technologies laid the foundation for the first Web browser, WorldWideWeb, by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. That browser brought together a variety of existing and new software and hardware technologies. Ted Nelson and Douglas Engelbart developed the concept of hypertext long before Berners-Lee and CERN. It became the core of the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee does acknowledge Engelbart's contribution. The introduction of the NCSA Mosaic Web browser in 1993 – one of the first graphical Web browsers – led to an explosion in Web use. Marc Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA, soon started his own company, named Netscape, and released the Mosaic-influenced Netscape Navigator in 1994, which quickly became the world's most popular browser, accounting for 90% of all Web use at its peak (see usage share of web browsers).

  • Text of Interview with Jon Ippolito
    Smithsonian Institution Time-Based and Digital Art Working Group: Interview Project Interview with Jon Ippolito Jon Ippolito is the co-founder of the Still Water Lab and Digital Curation program at the University of Maine and an Associate Professor of New Media at the University of Maine. He was formerly Associate Curator of Media Arts at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. June 25, 2013 Interviewers: Crystal Sanchez and Claire Eckert I was a curator at the Guggenheim in the 1990s and 2000s, starting in 1991. At the same time I was an artist. As an artist, I had become interested in the internet, largely because of its egalitarian structure, compared to the mainstream art world. I was trying to conceive of works that would avoid technical obsolescence by being variable from the get-go. At the same time that my collaborators and I were imagining ways that a work could skip from one medium to another, like a stone skips across the surface of a lake, I started to see warning flags about all the works—especially media works—that were about to expire. Films would be exploding in canisters. Video formats from the 1980s were becoming obsolete. Conceptual artists from the 1970s were dying. Newer formats like internet protocols from only a few months before were falling apart. It was like the statute of limitations ran out on everything at the same time, around the late 1990s or 2000. In thinking through some of the problems associated with the death of prominent websites, I began to ask whether we could apply the pro-active solution of variable media retroactively to the problem of rescuing these near-dead art works.

WWW World Wide Web (la telaraña mundial) es un sistema de información hipermedia que ha revolucionado Internet en los años 90. Se basa en un protocolo de trasferencia de información (HTTP), que utilizan los programas cliente (navegador o browser) para recuperar datos en forma de páginas en un formato normalizado (HTML) provenientes de servidores dispersos por Internet. El usuario puede seleccionar otras páginas definidas mediante URLs que aparecen resaltadas en las páginas como hiperenlaces mediante un interfaz amigable. La publicitación es un método rápido (porque la actualización tiene efectos inmediatos en quienes acceden a la información) y económico de poner información a disposición de cualquiera(en todo el mundo) que tome la iniciativa (igualdad de oportunidades) de pedirla. El modelo inicial de navegar de página en página buscando información se ha enriquecido con la proliferación de herramientas de búsqueda (spiders, crawlers, robots) así como el acceso a páginas generadas dinámicamente como respuesta a consultas interactivas (CGI). Las capacidades iniciales de visualización se han extendido con la evolución de HTML y la aparición de otros lenguajes para representación de objetos tridimensionales (VRML), ejecución en local de aplicaciones (JAVA)... aumentando la interactividad. La riqueza del entorno ha provocado una demanda para incorporarle características de seguridad mejorada (SSL) que permitan extender el modelo de acceso a la información a aspectos que pueden cambiar tanto el mundo como el comercio electrónico (SET).

  • The Anarchist Aspects of Nietzsche's Philosophy- Presentation
    The Anarchist Aspects of Nietzsche’s Philosophy- Presentation The core of my hypothesis is that Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy promotes basic anarchist notions. Hence, what I am intending to show is the existence of a bond between the anarchist tradition and the German philosopher. My main idea is to review Nietzsche’s work from an anarchist angle. This means I will try to re-examine basic concepts of the Nietzschean philosophy by comparing them to the notions of prominent anarchists and libertarians together with using these concepts in order to give a Nietzschean interpretation to certain anarchistic historical incidents like those of the Schism of the 1st International, the Spanish Revolution, May ’68, and even the Revolt of December 2008 in Athens-Greece. The importance of such a connection lies in highlighting the elective affinity between Nietzsche and the anarchists and, actually, the whole research is based on this elective relationship. When I say elective affinity I mean “a special kind of dialectical relationship that develops between two social or cultural configurations, one that cannot be reduced to direct causality or to „influences‟ in the traditional sense”.1 This is Michael Lowy’s definition of elective affinity in his essay on Jewish libertarian thought,2 and that’s the way I am going to follow it. Elective affinity is not something new in Nietzschean scholarship. Almost every dissertation on Nietzsche makes references to the direct or indirect influence the German philosopher had on his contemporaries and successors and therefore, elective affinity is present to most, short or extended, relevant works.
