"…realities itself are being sculpted by the shifts & waves of #attention that are happening online, which nobody is in control off…" #RichardDoyle
"#DigitalTechnologies are #psychedelic.
We’ve been on a bad trip. It’s time for us wiggle out, dream better, & allow a more capacious, plural, and harmonious humanity to take the oars together in whatever novel wonders may arise—to neither “give way to astonishment” nor let our fears steer us into the rocks." #MichaelGarfield

Our purchases will soon become "smarter": the EU introduces digital passports for products! By 2027, every product in Europe will receive its own unique QR code or NFC tag.
Just scan the label on your jeans or a new smartphone - and immediately learn the entire history of the product: where and how it was produced, what carbon footprint it left, how to dispose of it correctly.

More reading stuff for the vacation as promised: LRZ researcher Michele Martone liked the book Digital Vergan, "because computer scientist Andy Farnell makes a parallel between a liberated and #healthy #nutrition, and the usage of #digitaltechnologies. The book has a goldmine of references, it is written in a understandable style and enrichs everybody". Her you can find the book: https://digitalvegan.net/

As the countdown to 2024 begins, here's a recap of some of the books #openhumanitiespress has published in 2023. Beginning with this from January:
Data Farms, ed. by Tsvetelina Hristova, Brett Neilson and Ned Rossiter.
Like all OHP books, Data Farms is available #openaccess:
http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/data-farms/
What's at stake in naming #datacentres as #datafarms. These installations are essentially hangars packed with #computers. They congregate #servers, switches and wires that facilitate the storage, processing and transmission of #data in high volumes and at fast speeds. Data centres present a scale of operations, potentially planetary in scope, that intensifies and multiplies the productive and extractive capacities of #digitaltechnologies.
The economic advantages to parties with servers in these installations derive not only from opportunities for networking but also from inputs to client machines that may be situated at vast distance. Yet data centres have precise locations...
📢 New Book Alert!
🌐 'Modelling Between #Digital and #Humanities: Thinking in Practice' is now available!
This volume presents an exploration of Digital Humanities (#DH), a field focused on the reciprocal transformation of #digitaltechnologies and #humanities scholarship.
💻Central to #DH research is the practice of #modelling, which involves translating intricate knowledge systems into computational models. This book addresses a fundamental query: How can an effective #language be developed to conceptualize and guide modelling in DH?
Modelling, with its historical roots, carries multifaceted meanings influenced by various disciplinary contexts. This book innovatively connects #DH with the historical tradition of model-based thinking in the #humanities, #culturalstudies, and the #sciences. Through an exploration of digital, visual and data models, the book asserts that #DH holds the potential to be a cornerstone of a #novel #cultural #literacy paradigm.
