Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Digital culture, taken etymologically, means a culture of the fingers (from the Latin digitus). Although our contemporary times are still envisioned through the lens of an over-reigning visual paradigm, our media practice has become mainly bodily, since the role of hands has proven ever more decisive and as gestures have increasingly been constructed as tools for thinking and conceptualization. This issue presents crucial case studies in film and visual culture, ranging from classic to experimental cinema, from science visualization to esoteric culture. In every field, filmed hands come to be extraordinary operators of visibility: they depict imaginary worlds which do not rely upon eye perception, they make visible the intimacy of the human being, they give shape to the spectator's gaze and, in a more concrete fashion, to the image itself through gestures of care and restoration of the filmstrip as well as by anchoring vision through data visualization processes. A hypnotic and a powerful motif, hands represent the corporeal grounds of the cinematic medium and the indelible crystallization of the human in technique.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Moral freedom in AI ethics confronts readers with how algorithmic design shapes autonomy and responsibility.What do we mean by moral freedom What are the necessary conditions required for it Do the exponential advances and pervasive applications of artificial intelligence (AI) promote it, or do they undermine it Are we dealing with a new ethical challenge If this is the case, how should we respond These are a few of the compelling questions addressed in the current volume. These concerns are increasingly unavoidable in our contemporary computerized society, in which people increasingly depend on AI-based technology, inevitably exposed to its invisible but powerful algorithmic design. Providing a basis for the field of Ethics of AI, the volume helps us understand the new questions raised by AI systems, with particular attention to the challenge of that machine-learning algorithms represents for moral freedom. Tiribelli provides both conceptual and practical tools to address these issues, producing a moral compass for navigating our complex world, increasingly structured and shaped by algorithmic technology.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Osmospheres reveal how smell and atmosphere shape perception, desire, and social meaning.Offering an overview on the relationships between smell and atmospheres as proposed by philosophy and the humanities, this volume interprets the 'olfactive' as a cross-sensory, affective and ecological modality of perceiving. Osmospheres -- i.e., the olfactory irradiances which provide persons, commodities, situations and places with an aura, a vague but unique flavor -- are investigated through the perspective of relational and social aesthetics. Food is the main case-study as it exemplifies the porous boundaries between subject and the environment, identity and alterity, knowing and feeling. In the light of contemporary artistic and marketing practices, where food osmospheres are staged to convey emotions and to drive consumer behavior, the idea of osmospheric foodification seems to capture the essence of today's urban and domestic dwelling. This work speculates on its socio-political aesthetic implications.…
