Compilation of Translations
The publication gives an overview of the 2012 curatorial year at MINI/Goethe-Institut Curatorial Residencies Ludlow 38. Curatorial resident Clara Meister's program focused on different concepts of translation, bringing together an interdisciplinary exhibition program based on the assumption that artistic ideas can be translated into disparate forms and therefore can take varying modes of expression. Four solo exhibitions with Natalie Czech, Bo Christian Larsson, Saâdane Afif, and Maria Loboda, as well as a collaborative project with A Dog Republic (Jean-Baptiste Decavèle, Nico Dockx, Yona Friedman, Helena Sidiropoulos, Krist Torfs) were accompanied by small poster publications, which constitute the individual chapters of the book. Writers, artists, and thinkers were invited to contribute playful essays that were either a source of inspiration for the exhibition or linked to its ideas. Contributors Andrew Berardini, Jean-Baptiste Decavèle, Isobel Harbison, Lucy Ives, Graham Parker, Barry Schwabsky, Helena Sidiropoulos, Antje Stahl, Paul Stephens; interviews with Bo Christian Larsson, some of the members of A Dog Republic, Maria Loboda

Starting from Language
1985 äußerte Joseph Beuys in der Reihe »Reden über das eigene Land: Deutschland« an den Münchner Kammerspielen, dass er sein Werk »von der Sprache aus« entwickelt habe. Er verstand die Sprache – den bildnerischen Gestaltungsmitteln ebenbürtig – als plastisches Material, durch das jede Einzelne und jeder Einzelne körperlich, intellektuell und kommunikativ an der Neuordnung der Gesellschaft teilhaben könne. Seine Auseinandersetzung mit Sprache reicht vom Schweigen bis zur stundenlangen Diskussion, von animalisch klingenden Lauten bis zu präzisen Begriffserörterungen und verrätselten Schriften. Entsprechend gliedern sich die Kapitel in die Themen Schweigen, Laute, Begriffe, Schrift, Geheimnis, Legende und Sprechen. Ausstellung und Katalog versammeln Skulpturen, Zeichnungen, Installationen, Filme, Plakate und Dokumente aus den Beständen der Nationalgalerie, der Sammlung Marx, des Kupferstichkabinetts und der Kunstbibliothek der SMB.
Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art
Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art volume calls attention to the unexpected prevalence of ventriloqual motifs and strategies within contemporary art. Engaging with issues of voice, embodiment, power, and projection, the case studies assembled in this volume span a range of media from painting, sculpture, and photography to installation, performance, architecture, and video. Importantly, they both examine and enact ventriloqual practices, and do so as a means of interrogating and performatively bearing out contemporary conceptions of authorship, subjectivity, and performance. Put otherwise, the chapters in this book oscillate seamlessly between art history, theory, and criticism through both analytical and performative means. Across twelve essays on ventriloquism in contemporary art, the authors, who are curators, historians, and artists, shine light on this outdated practice, repositioning it as a conspicuous and meaningful trend within a range of artistic practices today. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, media studies, performance, museum/curatorial studies, and theater.
Digital Culture & Society (DCS)
What happened to the 1960s ideas of machine art, cybernetic art, »algorithmic revolution«, and the hopes for a democratization of the art market? How do contemporary art practitioners cope with the political situation and with the attempts of the Silicon Valley giants to appropriate algorithmic generation of art-like artefacts? This issue aims to discuss how the early concept of computer art is now being reframed as digital, post-digital or algorithmic art under the prevailing conditions of big data, smart AI, an almost all-encompassing surveillance technology and the political state of neo-liberalism.
Cognitive Plausibility in Natural Language Processing
This book explores the cognitive plausibility of computational language models and why it’s an important factor in their development and evaluation. The authors present the idea that more can be learned about cognitive plausibility of computational language models by linking signals of cognitive processing load in humans to interpretability methods that allow for exploration of the hidden mechanisms of neural models. The book identifies limitations when applying the existing methodology for representational analyses to contextualized settings and critiques the current emphasis on form over more grounded approaches to modeling language. The authors discuss how novel techniques for transfer and curriculum learning could lead to cognitively more plausible generalization capabilities in models. The book also highlights the importance of instance-level evaluation and includes thorough discussion of the ethical considerations that may arise throughout the various stages of cognitive plausibility research.

They Called Him Cas
They Called Him Cas In an era of multi-million dollar coaching contracts and violations in recruiting, academics and financial dealings, Cas ran a squeaky clean program, and his salary did not exceed $25,000. His players loved, feared, and respected him, and continued to model their lives after him long after they left the football field. Their guiding principle in later years centered on a simple question: "What would Cas do?" This is the story of Len Casanova, his teams, and his enduring influence.
