SUMMARY:Art Event: The Ambiguity of Sorting
DESCRIPTION:The Ambiguity of Sorting\nHow do technologies of separation bring us together? \nDigital systems are based on acts of transformation from continuity and unity into discreteness and separation. These acts of transformation have been popularized in the multiple ways in which humans engage with AI systems and other forms of digital technologies. Everything we do is transformed\, one could say\, automatically into data. It is transformed into discrete units that can be computed. Digital technologies have become more than tools for research; people produce knowledge with them\, engage emotionally through and with these systems\, generating new forms and spaces of intimacy. At the same time\, these technologies carry a history of creating disconnections\, failing to account for different ways of engaging with the world. They are the result of a certain imaginary of the human and intelligence\, one that leaves aside many other existing ways to be in the world. What kind of communities are enabled by technologies? What kind of technologies are successful in bringing communities together? Can we imagine a history of technology that is based on plural ways of understanding intelligence and the human? How can we design technologies that bring people together? How can we imagine technologies that enable communities? \nThe Ambiguity of Sorting is a pop-up exhibition and a panel discussion that takes place during the 8th edition of the Conference of the Society for the History and Philosophy of Computing. The event brings together installation\, performance\, and conversations to discuss how the history of intelligent systems embodied ideas of intelligence\, the human\, and how we live together. With the panel\, we invite to think of a different history of computing\, one where those that were not thought to be fitting within their categories were creating their own technologies all along. \nWith contribution by: Sasha Bergstrom-Katz\, Ren Loren Britton\, and Verena Friedrich \nOrganization and moderation: Ana Maria Guzmán Olmos \nFind out more about the artists and their artworks on this website. \nHeader photo: Sasha Bergstrom-Katz\, On the Subject of Tests: Opening Boxes\, 2022. Video.

SUMMARY:Talk & Discussion "Hidden Futures: Work. Clicks & Crowds"
DESCRIPTION:Which chain of work processes are triggered by a click in an app? Whose bodies are thereby set in motion and exposed to the elements? And how will our cities change when work is no longer tied to spaces\, but is controlled by an ephemeral architecture of routes\, data and likes? \nThe promise of services that can be delivered directly to your doorstep around the clock has now become part of everyday life. However\, platforms such as Uber Eats\, Gorillas and Lieferando are operated at the expense of migrants\, who are frequently subjected to precarious working conditions. Digital interfaces conceal the material conditions that make such services possible initially. \nThe evening brings people together who work in the digital economy\, in the context of app-based delivery services\, logistics platforms or the care secctor. What future of work becomes visible here\, and what future do we want? The audience is invited to open discussions\, personal assessments and solidarity-based networking. \nWith Janne Martha Lentz\, Semih Yalcin\, Hedi Tounsi\, Sebastian Randerath\, metroZones e.V. / Jochen Becker and more. \n“Work. Clicks and Crowds” is the start of the new series “Hidden Futures” at PACT\, which is being developed in cooperation with the Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) | RWTH Aachen University. The series looks at the material conditions of a variety of models of the future developed in the present. \nHeader photo: Hedi Tounsi\, 2023 \n

SUMMARY:Science-Art Installation Experiment "Melodic Pigments: Exploring New Synesthesia"
DESCRIPTION:Science-Art Installation Experiment by Yasmin Vega (Tokyo University of the Arts) and Masahiko Hara (Tokyo Institute of Technology/Institute of Science Tokyo) \nSynesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which the stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in another sensory or cognitive pathway. An example of synesthesia is experiencing “colors” in response to sensory information. This phenomenon can manifest as perceiving and feeling “colors” when hearing certain sounds\, reading letters\, or even tasting or smelling something. \nIn this installation\, we aim to train a machine using machine learning based on databases that map the correlation between emotions and colors in response to certain sounds. The machine will then demonstrate the colors it imagines and feels when it hears a sound\, thereby expressing its own form of new synesthesia in machines. \nThrough these explorations\, we seek to deepen our understanding of synesthesia in machines and its emergent functions\, moving beyond mere sympathy or empathy between humans and machines. Additionally\, we aim to explore methodologies for visualizing the internal cognitive processes of machines. \nIf you would like to attend\, please register with events@khk.rwth-aachen.de. \n— \nCredits header photo: Masahiko Hara
