" A journey through the uncomputable remains of computer history
Narrating some lesser known episodes from the deep history of digital machines, Alexander Galloway explains the technology that drives the world today, and the fascinating people who brought these machines to life. With an eye to both the computable and the uncomputable, Galloway shows how computation emerges or fails to emerge, how the digital thrives but also atrophies, how networks interconnect while also fray and fall apart. By re-building obsolete technology using today’s software, the past comes to light in new ways, from intricate algebraic patterns woven on a hand loom, to striking artificial-life simulations, to war games and back boxes. A description of the past, this book is also an assessment of all that remains uncomputable as we continue to live in the aftermath of the long digital age. "

Je suis retombé sur l'envie de lire du #@Alexander_Galloway
J'avais juste adoré Protocol sorti en ( #2004 ) j'en parlais ici
L'extrait de {cette vidéo} me donne encore plus envie de m'y plonger. C'est agréable d'ancrer la voix d'un humain dans son écrit...
J'entends une mise à plat des problématiques sur le computationnel, ce qui y échappe (et inversement, ce qui est colonisé par le computationnel). La lutte entropique ( #chaos_trouble ) étudiée par #@Claude_Shannon : de théorie en informatique tintée de #cybernétique ... ça me parle.
J'ai noté des ref. dont :
Contagious Architecture :
Computation, Aesthetics, and Space,
de #@Luciana_Parisi #2013 . À propos du MIT (édition) :
" A proposal that algorithms are not simply instructions to be performed but thinking entities that construct digital spatio-temporalities.
In Contagious Architecture, #@Luciana_Parisi offers a philosophical inquiry into the status of the algorithm in architectural and interaction design. Her thesis is that algorithmic computation is not simply an abstract mathematical tool but constitutes a mode of thought in its own right, in that its operation extends into forms of abstraction that lie beyond direct human cognition and control. These include modes of infinity, contingency, and indeterminacy, as well as incomputable quantities underlying the iterative process of algorithmic processing. . . . "
