Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sir Elton John, musician and philanthropist, has built one of the greatest private collections of photography in the world. This book presents an unparalleled selection of modernist images, which introduce a crucial moment in the history of photography when artists were beginning to use the camera and darkroom to redefine and transform visions of the modern world. Technological advancements gave artists the freedom to experiment and test the limits of the medium, enabling new imaginings of portraits, nudes, and still lifes; and street life and the modern world were captured from a new, uniquely modern perspective.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As life underwent rapid changes in the twentieth century, photography offered a new means to communicate and represent the world. The Radical Eye introduces this crucial moment in the history of photography - an exciting period often referred to as the 'coming of age' of the medium, when artists used the camera and darkroom to redefine and transform visions of the modern world, and technological advancements gave them the freedom to experiment and test the medium to its very limits. Timeless genres of the portrait, nude and still life were reimagined, and street life and the modern metropolis were captured from a fresh, uniquely modern perspective.Drawn from The Sir Elton John Collection, one of the greatest private collections of photography in the world, The Radical Eye presents an unrivalled selection of more than 175 classic modernist images from the 1920s to the 1950s. Showcasing rarely seen vintage prints, the book highlights the work of seventy key figures, including Brassaï, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange, Man Ray, Tina Modotti and Edward Steichen. These remarkable images are accompanied by an interview with Sir Elton John, essays on modernist photography and technology and innovation by Dawn Ades and Shoair Mavlian, and biographies of the photographers.

Newell, Allen (1927-92); Herbert Simon (1916-2001). The logic theory machine: A complex information processing system. Reproduced typescript. Offprint from IRE Transactions on Information Theory IT-2 (September 1956). 61-79pp. 278 x 218 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Punched for a 3-ring binder. Boxed. Light toning, slight edgewear and creasing, but very good. First Edition, Offprint Issue. Extremely rare. During 1955 and 1956 computer scientist and cognitive psychologist Allen Newell, political scientist, economist and sociologist Herbert A. Simon and systems programmer John Clifford Shaw, all working at the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California, developed the Logic Theorist, the first program deliberately engineered to mimic the problem-solving skills of a human being. They decided to write a program that could prove theorems in the propositional calculus like those in Principia Mathematica by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. As Simon later wrote, "LT was based on the system of Principia mathematica, largely because a copy of that work happened to sit in my bookshelf. There was no intention of making a contribution to symbolic logic, and the system of Principia was sufficiently outmoded by that time as to be inappropriate for that purpose. For us, the important consideration was not the precise task, but its suitability for demonstrating that a computer could discover problem solutions in a complex nonnumerical domain by heuristic search that used humanoid heuristics" (Simon, "Allen Newell: 1927-1992," Annals of the History of Computing 20 [1998]: 68). The collaborators wrote the first version of the program by hand on 3 x 5-inch cards. As Simon recalled: "In January 1956, we assembled my wife and three children together with some graduate students. To each member of the group, we gave one of the cards, so that each one became, in effect, a component of the computer program . . . Here was nature imitating art imitating nature" (quoted in the Wikipedia article on Logic Theorist). The team showed that the program could prove theorems as well as a talented mathematician. Eventually Shaw was able to run the program on the computer at RAND's Santa Monica facility. It proved 38 of the first 52 theorems in Principia Mathematica. For Theorem 2.85 the Logic Theorist surpassed its inventors' expectations by finding a new and better proof. This was the "the first foray by artificial intelligence research into high-order intellectual processes" (Feigenbaum and Feldman, Computers and Thought [1963]). Newell and Simon first described the Logic Theorist in Rand Corporation report P-868 issued on June 15, 1956, entitled The Logic Theory Machine. A Complex Information Processing System. As far as we know, no copy of that report has ever appeared in commerce. The report was first officially published in September, 1956 under the same title in IRE Transactions on Information Theory IT-2, 61-79. Newell and Simon demonstrated the program at the Dartmouth Summer Session on Artificial Intelligence (August-September 1956) in which AI was formally named Artificial Intelligence.
