Hakopian (21 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In The Institute for Other Intelligences, Mashinka Firunts Hakopian brings speculative fiction and media studies to bear on an imagined future where machine intelligences convene annually for curriculum on algorithmic equity. The book presents a transcript from one of these conferences in which a community of "AI agents" gather at a school for oppositional automata to deliver lectures on the human biases and omissions encoded in their training data. The resulting manuscript, published on the occasion of the Institute's millennial anniversary, revisits sociotechnical systems from its founding in the 21st century. Drawing on feminist, queer, and critical media scholarship, the trainings collected in the book aim to optimize the operations of future generations of intelligent machines toward just outcomes. Hakopian uses these speculative exchanges to invite the reader to consider how critical approaches to nonhuman intelligence might reroute our current path toward destructive technofutures and allow us to conceive of another way forward.Edited by Ana Iwataki and Anuradha Vikram for X Topics, The Institute for Other Intelligences includes an introduction by Vikram and diagrammatic illustrations by Fernando Diaz, a scientist whose work focuses on the quantitative evaluation and algorithmic design of information access systems.

Brochure originale, agrafée. Zustand: Gut. 10 p. Un bon exemplaire propre. - Extrait du texte : L'enluminure des manuscrits du Vaspourakan (XIVe-XVe ss.) a des traits bien spécifiques aussi bien pour ce qui est du style que du système de la disposition des miniatures. Ces dernières sont en général disposées, par tradition, sur les premières pages du manuscrit, précédant les textes, jouant ainsi le rôle d'une sorte de prologue pictural du livre. Leurs sujets sont des plus variés: ce sont des sujets bibliques ou des scènes de la vie quotidienne des gens simples, des thèmes mystiques ou des variantes chrétiennes de sujets païens. Les artistes multipliaient la diversité des sujets soit en insérant dans le cycle évangélique des sujets de l'Ancien Testament tels que "La création du monde", "La chute d'Adam et d'Eve", "Le sacrifice d'Abraham", "L'Hospitalité sous le chêne Mamvrien", "La rencontre d'Eve et de Joseph", etc., soit en y insérant des thèmes plus particuliers à la région donnée, reflétant certains aspects de la situation socio-politique. Mentionnons notamment "Le massacre des Innocents", un cycle élargi sur les miracles du Christ, la scène de Jésus devant Pilate et d'autres. On sait que les thèmes de l'Ancien Testament se mêlaient souvent sous une forme symbolique et allégorique aux scènes du Nouveau Testament. Les enlumineurs du Vaspourakan avaient en guise de modèle les riches reliefs et fresques de l'église de la Sainte-Croix de l'île Aghtamar (Xe siècle) qui représentent des scènes du Nouveau Testament complétées et explicitées par des images de l'Ancien Testament.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to (33 cm), 272 pp. Hardcover in dust jacket (dust jacket slightly frayed at extremities). Text in Armenian, Russian, and English. Published under the auspices of the Matenadaran -- the Mashtots Institute of Old Manuscripts -- this is a major survey of the Vaspourakan school of Armenian manuscript illumination, covering the thirteenth through seventeenth centuries. The introductory study traces the historical and artistic development of the tradition centered in the Lake Van region, discussing its iconography, stylistic features, vivid color schemes, and strong connections with popular and folk art, as well as its relationships with other Armenian and Eastern traditions, including Cilician, Cappadocian, and Syrian-Arabic influences. The plates reproduce approximately 100 miniatures and decorated pages in color and black-and-white from manuscripts preserved in the Matenadaran and other collections, each accompanied by commentary. The volume concludes with indexes of artists and manuscripts and a list of illustrations. An important scholarly production, essential for the study of Armenian medieval art.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 400 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The UN designated the decade 2005-2015 as the International Decade for Action - Water for Life. The move was initiated at the third World Water Forum in Kyoto, 2003, and it could prove the most significant and effective outcome of the triennial series of World Water For a yet. Its major aims are: (1) to promote efforts to fulfil recent international commitments, especially in the Millennium Goals, (2) to advance towards a truly integrated, int- national approach to sustainable water management, and (3) to put special emphasis on the role of women in these efforts. Even so, it faces tremendous and, as I write, increasing obstacles. The intense season of hurricanes and tropical storms in 2008 illustrated yet again not only the power of nature, but also the vulnerability of the poorer nations, like Haiti and Jamaica. New Orleans and Texas fared better, not because of the efforts of the International Decade for Natural Disasters (1990-2000) to increase preparedness, but more because the USA had learnt from its own experiences in Hurricane Katrina. The biggest obstacle of all is the burgeoning world population. It took off last century, but it is predicted to reach unimaginable heights this century: at least 10 billion by 2050, maybe 20 billion by 2100. Governments are powerless to halt it, even the Chinese. Achieving water security globally against this backdrop will be a Herculean task.…
