Technological Accidents Accidental Technologies...

Beschrijving

Presupposing that accidents produce technologies, this book inquires into the forms of power and authority that accidents materialise. For instance, what are the specific accidents of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and pattern recognition systems? And what insights can accidents give about the technology that generates them? Perhaps we can reverse this thinking and see “accidents” as extended forms of functionality, which may be undesired but not entirely dysfunctional. With contributions by philosopher Sjoerd van Tuinen, researcher and cultural theorist Erik Bordeleau, conceptual artist and hacktivist Paolo Cirio, software artists Driessens & Verstappen, and others.
