Hermeneutic potential of Homo Virtualis is provided by uniformed coding of sound qualities inside the digital continuum, transformed shapes of conceptual art. Sound performance of the open is embodied not only through the allusions of Ambient but refined post-digital aesthetics, aesthetics of ‘failure’, methods of ‘glitch’.

  • Jaron Lanier: 'The Solution Is to Double Down on Being Human'
    Jaron Lanier: ‘The solution is to double down on being human’ Tim Adams Last modified on Saturday 2 December 2017 16.41 GMT ‘I think virtual reality will become a proper medium of artʼ: Jaron Lanier at home in California, with some of his 1,000 musical instruments. Photograph: Saroyan Humphrey Jaron Lanier has written a book about virtual reality, a phrase he coined and a concept he did much to invent. It has the heady title Dawn of the New Everything. But it’s also a tale of his growing up and when you read it, what you really want to talk to him about is parenting. Lanier is 57, but his childhood as he describes it was so sad and so creative and so extreme, it makes him almost seem fated to pursue alternative worlds. Lanier’s parents met in New York. His mother, Lilly, blond and light- skinned and Jewish, had somehow talked her way out of a “pop-up concentration camp” in Vienna after the Anschluss, aged 15. The family of his father, Ellery, had escaped a murderous pogrom in Ukraine. They met as part of a circle of artists in Greenwich Village in the 1950s. Lilly was a painter and a dancer, Ellery an architect, but when Jaron was born in 1960 they moved to El Paso, Texas, right on the border with Mexico. Lanier was never sure why, but he believes it was an effort, given their own childhoods, to “live as obscurely as possible”, off grid. His mother did not trust American schooling, so he went across the border to a Montessori school in Mexico each day; then, after a change of heart, to a Texas public high school, where he was bullied.

  • Real-Time 3D-Tele-Immersion
    Chapter 1 REAL-TIME 3D-TELE-IMMERSION y K. Daniilidis , J. Mulligan, R. McKendall, D. Schmid University of Pennsylvania ostas,janem,mcken,daschmid @grip.cis.up enn.edu { k } G. Kamb erova Washington University kamb [email protected] R. Ba jcsy NSF CISE Directorate [email protected] Abstract In this paper we present the first implementation of a new medium for tele-collaboration. The realized testbed consists of two tele-cubicles at two Internet nodes. At each tele-cubicle a stereo-rig is used to provide an accurate dense 3D-reconstruction of a person in action. The two real dynamic worlds are exchanged over the network and visualized stereoscopically. The remote communication and the dynamic nature of tele-collaboration raise the question of optimal representation for graphics and vision. We treat the issues of limited bandwidth, latency, and processing power with a tunable 3D-representation where the user can decide over the trade-off between delay and 3D-resolution by tuning the spatial resolution, the size of the working volume, and the uncertainty of reconstruction. Due to the limited number of cameras and displays our system can not provide the user with a surround-immersive feeling. However, it is the first system that uses 3D-real-data that are reconstructed online at another site. The system has been implemented with low-cost off-the-shelf hardware and has been successfully demonstrated in local area networks. 1. INTRODUCTION Advances in networking and processor performance open challenging new directions for remote col- laboration via immersive environments. With the continuing progress in bandwidth and protocols for the information highway, new education and business structures become feasible.

  • A Blueprint for a Better Digital Society by Jaron Lanier and E
    TECHNOLOGY A Blueprint for a Better Digital Society by Jaron Lanier and E. Glen Weyl SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 Digital transformation is remaking the human world, but few are satisfied with how that’s been going. That’s especially true in media, where the dominant model of targeted advertising derived from data surveillance and used to fund free-to-the-public services like social media and search is increasingly viewed as unsustainable and undesirable. Illustration by Michael McQuaid Illustration by Michael McQuaid COPYRIGHT © 2018 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 2 Today, internet giants finance contact between people by charging third parties who wish to influence those who are connecting. The result is an internet — and, indeed, a society — built on injected manipulation instead of consensual discourse. A system optimized for influencing unwitting people has flooded the digital world with perverse incentives that lead to violations of privacy, manipulated elections, personal anxiety, and social strife. It has also made many of the largest tech companies immensely powerful. A classic example of online behemoth power, what we call a “siren server,” is YouTube, owned by Google. The network effects that always accompany digital entities allow YouTube to control both the production and the consumption of digital video. They are at once a monopoly and a monopsony (a sole purchaser of data), deciding which content producers will be paid, in the manner of a communist central planner, and determining what content billions of users will consume. Tech giants have become so influential that they function like transnational governments charting the future to a greater degree than any national government.

To understand criticism about Wikipedia, JOSEPH REAGLE especially that from Gorman, it is useful to first consider the history of reference works relative to the varied motives of producers, their mixed reception by the public, and their interpreta- tion by scholars.

  • Luciana Grosso: What's Next? What Is Coming After the Social Network Era? What Will Arrive After This Social-Mania, If It Will Ever End?
    Luciana Grosso: What's next? What is coming after the social network era? What will arrive after this social-mania, if it will ever end? Geert Lovink: I do not mind to act like a futurologist but I have to disappoint you: we’ll be stuck in this social media age for some time to come. We Europeans failed to develop alternatives. There is no ‘market’ and we all let it happen: crippling monopolies are a fact, we’ve locked ourselves in and now we complain. Unless there’s going to be a global crisis or war, we will not able to free ourselves from the 'tremendous' addiction to these real-time apps. I have given up that individuals who make the courageous exodus will make a difference. Boredom or dispear won’t make a difference either; the physical, social and emotional dependency is already too big. We were naive to think that users would move on, as they did from Geocities to Blogger to Friendster to MySpace. Then it stopped at Facebook. Youngsters migrated to Whatsapp and Instagram, but these are owned by the same old Facebook Corp. and are currently being integrated into the same data empire. What’s left is the proposal of a public takeover of platforms (including the datacentre infrastructure). This a political proposal we need to further discuss and put on the table in this year of crucial elections. For decades European elites deliberately looked away, convinced that the internet was a fad, a fashion that would fade away, and now they have been pushed to the sides.

  • The New Machine Age
    THE NEW MACHINE AGE 1 www.language-and-skills.eu WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” ― Arthur C. Clarke “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― R. Buckminster Fuller “Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.” ― Pablo Picasso “What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” ― Steve Jobs “There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.” ― Philip K. Dick “Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” ― Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means “The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.” ― Esther Dyson “As technology accumulates and people in more parts of the planet become interdependent, the hatred between them tends to decrease, for the simple reason that you can't kill someone and trade with him too.” ― Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature “Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which it was already but too easy to arrive at; as railroads lead to Boston or New York.

  • Ars Electronica Futurelab
    Ars Electronica Futurelab Andreas J. Hirsch Edited by Horst Hörtner, Roland Haring, Hideaki Ogawa Alchemists of the Future Ars Electronica Futurelab The First 25 Years and Beyond ARS ELECTRONICA FUTURELAB 25 Years of Ars Electronica Futurelab The creation of the Futurelab was in equal measure an accident or a stroke of luck (right people, right time, right place) and the unavoidable consequence of the original Ars Electronica idea of a merging of art, technology, and society. It was certainly also an urgent necessity—actually the only chance—to make the planned Ars Electronica Center with its groundbreaking innovations, high artistic standards, and clear didactical goals a fully functioning “Museum of the Future.” In mid-1995, entrusted with this task, we were faced with so many technical and creative challenges that there was simply only one way forward: putting together a team of ambitious and visionary artists and technicians and striving to turn this great vision, which up to that point had existed only on paper, into reality. To realize his idea of an Ars Electronica Center, Hannes Leopoldseder had in advance invited experts and artists from all over the world to develop visions for this new kind of center and, not surprisingly, the invitees outdid themselves with spectacular scenarios ranging from LED wallpaper with which all walls would be covered (at that time there were not yet LED flatscreens on the market) to kinetic components that would change the building constantly. Alas, there was then the reality, a reality in which it was not enough to cobble these kinds of prototypes together for a short demonstration at a fair or art exhibition, but rather one in which they had to stand up to the real world of permanent exhibitions where they were on show six days a week, with only one day for maintenance and repair.

  • Tomorrow's Teleconferencing
    Tele-immersion: Tomorrow’s Teleconferencing, Computer Graphics World - January, 2001 1/22/01 9:54 AM ˚ Tele-immersion: Tomorrow’s Teleconferencing ˚ Real-time transmission of real-life environments may be Internet 2’s most visionary application by Steve Ditlea When Internet 2-level network performance becomes common place at some point in the future, which applications will make the best use of this giant leap in bandwidth? Virtual laboratories, digital libraries, and distance-independent learning are among some of the advanced applications currently being explored. Jaron Lanier, who helped lead in the development of virtual reality during the 1980s, is now guiding an attempt to validate the Net of tomorrow with a nascent technology known as tele-immersion: long-distance transmission of life-size, three-dimensional synthesized scenes, accurately sampled and rendered in real time using advanced computer graphics and vision techniques. Such replication of visual content in large volumes of everyday reality should lead to more naturalistic teleconferencing work environments (and less business travel), greater fidelity in relaying news and entertainment events (high-def will seem positively low-res), and even Star Trek Holodeck-like telepresence in remote locales (beam me up, Jaron). After three years of effort, Lanier and his colleagues are showing their first proof-of-concept demo, a three-way virtual meeting that makes today’s videoconferencing look like the 8mm movies of yesteryear. At the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, invited visitors can witness on two walls the life-size, real-time images of researchers seated at their desks at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and at the Armonk, New York, laboratory of project sponsor Advanced Network & Services, where Lanier serves as the initiative’s chief scientist.
