Radical indifference
Today, the behavioral and receptive patterns of the masses consist mostly of repetitive habits, although as users on the Internet they by no means remain passive, but are constantly involved in the pseudo-turbulent events via the social networks, in order to busily and employment-conform, sometimes even racist, produce ...

Radikale Indifferenz
Die Verhaltens- und Rezeptionsweisen der Massen bestehen heute zumeist aus repetitiven Gewohnheiten, wobei sie als User im Internet aber keineswegs passiv bleiben, sondern sich über die sozialen Netzwerke andauernd ins pseudo-turbulente Geschehen einbringen, um emsig und beschäftigungskonform, zuweilen auch rassistisch Daten und Informationen zu produzieren, welche die großen ...

I wrote before about the anti-computer. Let me continue some of those themes, using instead an adjacent label, the uncomputer.
In an initial sense, the uncomputer comes out of whatever is subordinated or excluded as a result of the standard model of the digital. The excluded term might be the ...
In researching the relation between weaving and computation, I ran across this astounding passage by Ellen Harlizius-Klück:
What the Digital Humanities features, is rather the digital processing and representation of data. The concept of the digital itself is just as little explored as manual aspects of programming, which always include ...
In antiquity, the word “Dia-graphein” referred to the inscription of a line, namely in geometric tables, lists, musical notations, etc. Not only were plans and figures designed with the help of lines, but there were also numerous markings and even crossings, which then called into question the stability of the ...
