Since the beginning of computation it’s physicality has become increasingly smaller and since Gordon Moore’s
famous prediction computation became almost transparent. In today's information age, it is easy to forget about
the socio-political presence of software, when algorithms are used by the local police to predict where next
crimes will happen, huge logistic warehouses are organized by the machine’s preferences and hype technologies
consume more electricity than entire countries.
While these computational systems are often camouflaged as
being objective or neutral, the underlying processes are anything but. At the core software development is about
the interpretation of inclusion and exclusion.
This work looks at the origin and manifestation of
computation and how it is reinforcing highly rational ways of thinking, which do not integrate into the complex
world around us. ↬ translation.pdf translation-of-computation.git
Since the beginning of computation it’s physicality has become increasingly smaller and since Gordon Moore’s
famous prediction computation became almost transparent. In today's information age, it is easy to forget about
the physical presence of software, when user interfaces blend completely into their environment, fiber-optic
cables lay deep in the pacific, and almost everything is stored in the cloud.
For now the incomprehensible
world of computation was reduced to the inner workings of integrated circuits or machines. But with spaces like
Amazon fulfillment centers its rationality and opaqueness is mapped onto our physical space.
This work
places computation in the center of the architectural and spatial discourse and explores how computation is
actively structuring physical and relational space. ↬ topology.pdf
Synchronizes different camera inputs based on human pose estimation w/ @tensorflow ↬ self.git
Provides a way to interactively and critically examine the reinforcement of our opinions and how we contribute to conversations.
