Chasing the Data Subject: Machine Learning in Contemporary Life (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Robert Samuel Hughes Rapoport
Termin:
14-täglich | Dienstag | 14:00 - 17:30 | 06.04.2021 - 09.07.2021 | HMS 210 | room 205 on May 4th
Inhalt: How does the increasing use of machine learning in the cultural sphere change our relationship with ourselves? How does our participation in networks redefine what it means to be a 'subject'? The ways we are socialized and socialize have arguably changed faster in the past decade than at any other point in human history. After defining this problem space, we will build an analytic toolkit to explore it. Essential to our inquiry will be evolving notions of immersion, participation, and feedback. Our discussions will also ask how basic ideas from cybernetics--positive and negative feedback--are increasingly relevant in the cultural realm.
Network Utopias (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Lisa Conrad
Termin:
14-täglich | Dienstag | 09:45 - 13:15 | 13.04.2021 - 09.07.2021 | HMS 231/232
Inhalt: The figure of the network is full of utopian promises. Time and again, decentralization and self-organization have presented themselves as superior solutions to problems of coordination (in terms of efficiency as well as equality). In this course, we will engage with different projects harking back on the idea of self-organizing networks. One of them, free markets, dates back to the 17th century. Others are born together with the dissemination of the internet, such as community-based WiFi. Still others are very recent, such as the agile approach to management. We will look at each of these and other projects in detail distilling the promises they make as well as carving out what they are ignoring.
