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.
As algorithmic data processing increasingly pervades everyday life, it is also making its way into the worlds of art, literature and music. In doing so, it shifts notions of creativity and evokes non-anthropocentric perspectives on artistic practice. This volume brings together contributions from the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, musicology and sound studies as well as media studies, sociology of technology, and beyond, presenting a truly interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art picture of the transformation of creative practice brought about by various forms of AI.
Wenn Maschinen dichten ... Dieses Buch enthält Texte von menschlichen Autorinnen und Autoren sowie von Maschinen. Über dem jeweiligen Beitrag steht nicht, wer oder was ihn verfasst hat. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein Ratespiel: Wie gut dichten Computerprogramme? – Ein raffinierter und poetischer Beitrag zur KI-Diskussion. Künstliche Intelligenz ist heute überall. Sie steckt im Smartphone, in medizinischen Geräten oder im Kühlschrank. Sie säubert unseren Haushalt und überwacht Aktienkurse. Auch künstlerische Prozesse werden immer häufiger automatisiert: Maschinen erschaffen Skulpturen, komponieren Musikstücke oder malen Bilder, die für viel Geld versteigert werden. Und natürlich ...
Die erste deutschsprachige Female-Slam-Anthologie. Viel zu lange war Poetry Slam ein von Männern dominiertes Format, und das völlig ohne Grund! Diese Anthologie versammelt über 50 Texte der besten deutschsprachigen Slampoetinnen. Mitreißende Lyrik und kunstvolle Prosa über Angst, Liebe, Feminismus, Glück, Diskriminierung und Mathematik. Die Zeit ist reif für dieses Buch! Viel zu lang standen die deutschsprachigen Slampoetinnen im Schatten ihrer männlichen Kollegen. Viel zu oft wurde Poesie von Frauen als "Mädchenlyrik" abgetan. Was für ein Unsinn! Diese Anthologie stellt eindrucksvoll unter Beweis, wie vielfältig deutschsprachige Slampoetinnen schreiben, dichten, unterhalten, agitieren und erzählen. Unter dem Motto "Was wir zu sagen haben" stellten zwei langjährige Kennerinnen der Szene diese Sammlung zusammen und widerlegen ein für alle Mal das Vorurteil der stimmschwachen Poetin am Mikrofon, denn Lautstärke wird immer feminin sein! Mit einer Einleitung von Nora Gomringer. Mit Beiträgen von: Josefine Berkholz, Sarah Bosetti, Kirsten Fuchs, Svenja Gräfen, Yasmin Hafeth, Theresa Hahl, Dominique Macri, Leonie Warnke, Franziska Wilhelm, Mieze Medusa u. v. a. m.
Recent determination of genome sequences for a wide range of bacteria has made in-depth knowledge of prokaryotic metabolic function essential in order to give biochemical, physiological, and ecological meaning to the genomic information. Clearly describing the important metabolic processes that occur in prokaryotes under different conditions and in different environments, this advanced text provides an overview of the key cellular processes that determine bacterial roles in the environment, biotechnology, and human health. Prokaryotic structure is described as well as the means by which nutrients are transported into cells across membranes. Glucose metabolism through glycolysis and the TCA cycle are discussed, as well as other trophic variations found in prokaryotes, including the use of organic compounds, anaerobic fermentation, anaerobic respiratory processes, and photosynthesis. The regulation of metabolism through control of gene expression and control of the activity of enzymes is also covered, as well as survival mechanisms used under starvation conditions.
The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on topics of research concerned with chemical structure and bonding. The scope of the series spans the entire Periodic Table and addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the elements. It also focuses attention on new and developing areas of modern structural and theoretical chemistry such as nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters and supramolecular structures. Physical and spectroscopic techniques used to determine, examine and model structures fall within the purview of Structure and Bonding to the extent that the focus is on the scientific results obtained an...
The developments in the area of ordered nanoporous solids have moved beyond the traditional catalytic and separation uses and given rise to a wide variety of new applications in different branches of chemistry, physics, material science, etc. The activity in this area is due to the outstanding properties of nanoporous materials that have attracted the attention of researchers from different communities. However, recent achievements in a specific field often remain out of the focus of collaborating communities. This work summarizes the latest developments and prospects in the area of ordered porous solids, including synthetic layered materials (clays), microporous zeolite-type materials, orde...

Both the interpretation of atomic spectra and the application of atomic spectroscopy to current problems in astrophysics, laser physics, and thermonuclear plasmas require a thorough knowledge of the Slater-Condon theory of atomic structure and spectra. This book gathers together aspects of the theory that are widely scattered in the literature and augments them to produce a coherent set of closed-form equations suitable both for computer calculations on cases of arbitrary complexity and for hand calculations for very simple cases.
