["TEXTS AND NOTES ON MEDIA TEMPORE(E)ALITIES"] I MEDIA TEMPOR(E)ALITIES (nearly edited) TEMPORALIZING THE PRESENT, RE-PRESENCING THE PAST Archiving the present & co-presence of the past: A technological Moebius loop Disruptions of the present generated from within (and preserved by) technological media The tempor(e)al in the cinematographic apparatus Auratic presence and the aesthetics of "live" Motion analysis and the "present time window" in neurological terms Intermezzo: "live" transmission in radio and television (Mass-)Media-induced "trauma" Instantly recording the present On Douglas Rushkoff, Present Shock Between storage and interaction with the present: Time-critical signal manipulation (magnetic tape, video recording) Archival manipulation of the already present: Real-time editing Media analysis of the present in high frequency The algorithmic "Markov present" Traditional and posthuman understanding of affect The micro-temporal momentum of affect TempoR(e)alities and "The Crannies of the Present" (Massumi) New "shapes of time" "Liquefying" the archive Not yet memory? Focus on storage tempor(e)alities Micro-archiving the present: Intermediary storage, delay lines "Time of non-reality": Totzeit, negative time "Less than no time": Telegraphy and the undertunneling of the transmission channel The micro-temporal camouflage: High Frequency Trading Interplay: Gaming with the Pin Ball machine and time of the tape: spools, loops Micro-archiving presence from analog to digital technologies: functional soundings Media-induced shock more general "Shock" with Benjamin Media-induced presence / "Realtime History" The anachronistic momentum of technical recording Signal "immediacy": dissimulated presence "POSTING" DIGITAL PRESENCE: A MICRO-TEMPORAL REGIME "Post-digital" media culture? Sustaining a critical philosophy of algorithmically driven technologies The sublime presence of ubiquitous computing The re-entry of the "analogue" in the "post-digital" A core of the operation: sample-and-hold Instant recording: Archiving the present and re-presencing the past TEMPORALIZING THE PRESENT AND ARCHIVING PRESENCE Electronic media tempor(e)alty: "acoustic space" (McLuhan) "Sample and Hold": Micro-archiving presence from analog to digital technologies The temporalized cyborg, signal time and acoustic media archaeology Deconstructing the historical sense of time from within technological media Time of the tape: spools, loops "Liquefying" the archive [Not yet memory? Focus on micro-storage tempor(e)alities] Micro-archiving the present: Intermediary storage, digital delay The micro-temporal camouflage: High Frequency Trading The aesthetics of "instant replay" "Temporary Storage" "Time of non-reality": Totzeit, negative time "... ELSE LOOP FOREVER". THE UNTIMELINESS OF MEDIA, or: Does Technology have a Sense of Ending? Algorithmic time Finite State Machines and the Halteproblem Being-to-death (Heidegger) Computing (with) time Ending as a function of memory versus endless delay Writing and Time The "Y2K problem" and the non-sense of ending "Ubiquitous oscillations" versus transient phenomena: Signals of ending in electronics Time-to-live and ping-to-death: Internet temporality A mathematical anticipation of ending Sensors for targets (rockets, trajectories) SIGNALS IN ACTION Time-critical media New kinds of bio(algo)rhythmization The temporal momentum in technical (micro-)infrastructures From time-based narrative to time-critical action Archival storage becoming time-critical technical memory Focus on micro-temporality Not to be confused: Media clocking and religious timing Time-criticality of computing and computing (with) time SUSPENDING THE "TIME DOMAIN" The non-human temporality of technological knowledge The anonymous time-base of modernity: Clocking The non-sense of "time" for technological analysis Functional timing in technology: synchronization The emancipation of technical timing from natural "time" The fuzzy present of Internet communication Time-to-live and ping-to-death: Internet temporality (A)Temporalizing radio: infrastructures in wireless communication Contemporary "media ecology" identified from within its temporal infrastructures NON-HUMAN MEMORY, TECHNO-TRAUMATIC MEDIA TIME Media testimony and the indexical trace: from analog to digital "Videotestimonies" in Holocaust memorization Holocaust- and technology-induced traumata in parallel lines Digital retro-action and the difference it makes: Digital sampling of Holocaust testimony The technological momentum of "Messianic" time: Digitized video testimony PRINTED LETTERS, ACOUSTIC SPACE, REAL TIME INTERNET McLuhan at the borderline of digital computing Understanding Media in the age of Internet The "acoustic" structure of electronic media "Tetrads": Alternative media historiograms MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGIES OF THE RECENT PRESENT "Media archaeologies of the present" as non-historicist diagnosis of Information Society Further entries into the "Time Line" Questioning the "Time line" Undermining the "timeline": Timestretching SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN HUMANS, BETWEEN HUMANS AND NON- HUMANS, AND INBETWEEN NON-HUMANS AT ALL a) Lecture version Synchronicity as message of the measuring medium Synchronization from a media-archaeological perspective Chrono-technical violence: synchronization Audio-visual a/synchronicities Time-critical media operations as implicit chrono-(syn)sonicity b) Additional thoughts Resonance and "syntony" Radio "time signals" The time-critical television image Digital synchronicities "Social" media synchronization TRACING TEMPOR(E)ALITIES IN THE AGE OF MEDIA MOBILITY [abstract] Introduction Spatio-temporal media analytics Dis-locations: Diagram and topology instead of "mobility" Local memory? a techno-archival retro-effect Media-phenomenological vs. media-archaeological analysis of geospatial media memory "Radiocity" Foundation of mobile communication: from the electro-magnetic field to the techno-mathematical matrix "Mobility" - a term of modernism Time hopping. Migrating (in) the World Wide Web Liberating reality from "time": Eigenzeit takes over TECHNOLOGIES OF CULTURAL HERITAGE: "COLD" STORAGE, "TIMELESS" CODES Tradition in technical terms: Transmission across space / storage over time Agencies of cultural transmission across time [The return of energy within information storage: material and energetic conditions for signal and data storage] The timelessness of heritage-as-information vs. its material and energetic embodiment Material media entropy Cooling down media memory: video testimony "Tradition" of cultural knowledge in terms of communication engineering Towards a mathematical theory of archival memory communication Coding cultural memory: Re-generative instead of material tradition [Oscillating between message and noise: Reading Lapis Satricanus] "Emulation". The challenge of operative software heritage HALF-LIVES OF KNOWLEDGE Cultural analysis in the media-archaeological way "Writing vs. Time": Lossless tradition in the symbolic code? Towards the non-human observer: The media-archaeological point of view Temporal invariance: the "humanistic" co-originality Across the temporal gap: The negentropic effort Nuclear time: radio-active memory The nuclear time clock II MEDIA TEMPOR(E)ALITIES (notes): Time-critical signal processing in humans and machines Time-critical technical memories Acoustic quanta in poetic prosody Algorithmic "Tempor(e)alities" Just-in-time criticality Telegraphic immediacy Contemporary Condition(ing) in media culture Not to be confused: Media operativity and cultural bias Vibrating sense of time: between liturgy and machine Ruptures between cultural techniques and media technology Chronology, Clock, Rhythm vs. Monastic Planning of Time The Epistemogenic Artifact: the Wheeled Clock Escapement On the Ritual and Liturgy of the Wheeled Clock: Media Archaeology versus Media Anthropology The Anachronism of the Ticking, Wheeled Clock Hindrance time Bulova Accutron Electricity: The media-archaeological index of McLuhan's media theory McLuhan at the borderline of digital computing McLuhan re:loaded? Short-cutting the channel: Diagram and topology instead of "mobility" Tempor(e)alities of archival and technical media as a challenge to cultural and historical time Re:play. The lack of a sense of ending in technological media The "sense of ending" Gaming time The temporal defect of Fourier Analysis Temperature in technological terms: data-entropy, energy, information "Ubiquitous oscillations" versus transient phenomena: Signals of ending in electronics Asynchronicities within the so-called "audiovisual" regime in sensory perception (aisthesis) and in technical media (electronics) The visual alphabet, numbers and clock vs. electro-acoustic space Asymmetries: rhythms for example Asymmetries between the auditive and the visual A critique of the term and the notion of the "audiovisual" "Live" is not live Electrophysiology Kinaesthetics of the electronic image (with Viola) Audiovision with Bill Viola Media of audio-vision: Sound film and music video From silent movies to film sound ... with Chion From television to sound: Phonovision and the Optophone An electronic device for wilful (technological) synesthesia: the Optophone The neurological basis for synesthesia and its electrophysiological detection Is there a specific sense of time?
