• W3C: Web Standards – História, funcionamento e metodologia « elesefe : Lab
  [...] (trecho) Se comprarmos um aparelho de som, e então levarmos para outra cidade, estado ou país, a tomada será a mesma e seu aparelho funcionará. Percebemos então o verdadeiro valor dos padrões. Na Web não é diferente, também é necessário haver padrões. Por isso que projetos como WaSP (Web Standards Project) surgiram no auge da desordem no desenvolvimento do sites. Eles foram um dos que impulsionaram a popularização dos Web Standards, fazendo a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) ser conhecida por todos como uma autoridade e então ajudando-a a cumprir com seu papel.[...]

Trecho do belíssimo documentário “Crônica de um Verão” (Chronique d’un été) de 1960. Os diretores, Jean Rouch e Edgar Morin, propõem a idéia de cinema-verdade.

O cinema verdade parte da premissa  de “que a câmera viola intimidades e, sendo assim, implica em riscos e em uma ética. Sua proposta: assumir a intervenção e, a partir dela, provocar reações reveladoras. Buscar a verdade no “conflito” e nas trocas entre quem filma e quem é filmado. Assumir a invasão do cinema” afirma Eduardo Cleber (Link abaixo).

Referência:

EDUARDO, Cléber. “Crônica de um verão: reflexo e invenção de seu próprio tempo”.

What is that?
It’s a unicorn.
Never seen one up close before
Beautiful.
Get away, get away.
I’m sorry.

Produzir um filme, com qualquer história, mas que contenha as frases acima num dialógo. Esta foi a proposta que Ridley Scott fez a novos cineastas, no projeto Philips Cinema Project, criado para promover o lançamento do player da philips com tela no formato de cinematografico 21:9. Mais de 45 propostas foram recebidas e cinco foram selecionados para serem produzidos em estilos que vão do drama, ação, animação, sci-fi thriller. Os filmes podem ser vistos no site do projeto.

  What if we could communicate with disaster affected communities in real-time just days after a major disaster like the quake in Haiti? That is exactly what happened thanks to a partnership between the Emergency Information Service (EIS), InSTEDD, Ushahidi, Haitian Telcos and the US State Department. Just 4 days after the earthquake, Haitians could text their location and urgent needs to “4636” for free.

• R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots)
  Resumo do livro RUR do escritor tcheco Karel Kapek no qual foi utilizado pela primeira vez palavra robot. R.U.R. was written in 1920, premiered in Prague early in 1921, was performed in New York in 1922, and published in English translation in 1923. The following year, G. B. Shaw and G. K. Chesterton were among those in London participating in a public discussion of the play. Capek responded, via The Saturday Review, to what he felt was the excessive thematic attention they and other critics paid to one of his devices: “For myself, I confess that as the author I was much more interested in men than in Robots.” [1]

• Eurozine – What makes a biopolitical space? – Antonio Negri, Constantin Petcou, Doina Petrescu, Anne Querrien A discussion with Toni Negri
  Toni Negri discusses the significance of urban space for new forms of opposition. The city, he says, is where the “political diagonal” intersects the “biopolitical diagram” – where people’s relation to power is most pronounced. Negri’s interlocutors are involved in exploring “soft” forms of activism, urban projects that create collectivities on micro, neighbourhood levels. Negri is critical of “soft” forms, however, preferring rupture and revolution over accumulation and gradual change.

• SSRN-Traditional Knowledge and the Fight for the Public Domain by Doris Long
  What are the challenges facing the protection of traditional knowledge internationally? Can the protection of such rights, which have traditionally existed outside the boundaries of intellectual property, be achieved in the face of current challenges to protection epitomized by such emerging international movements as enhanced access to information and culture as a human right? This article examines some of the emerging issues in this hotly contested area and suggests that such movements are not actually adverse to intellectual property or traditional knowledge rights and should be used to craft a new method for addressing the issue of traditional knowledge protection internationally.

  So, just like the peer-to-peer technology or the grid computing principles, the idea became this: a text could be sectioned into small pieces, users would take some of them to translate them in their spare time, and the interesting document will be quickly and correctly translated. Everyone wins in this situation.

• Interview with Geert Lovink by Victoria Lynn – Net Critique /via @jafurtado
  “Web 2.0 is about the integration of the real and the virtual. They are no longer opposites. The goal is a synergy of the real existing social life with the annotated environment. This is done to abstract value from one’s intimate environment and personal relationships. It is not proven that it generates new social forms. We could also say that it initiates new social contexts in real life situations. The third body, consisting of a data cloud that surrounds us, is becoming real. However, unlike the cyber-prophets predicted it is not a virtual reality out there that we step into. The movement has gone in the opposite direction and collapsed into ever-smaller devices.

• Is Economics a Science? – The Distributist Review:
  economics is not a complete science and is unable to give us real information about the economy? The Roman pontiffs have long insisted that something was missing. They have insisted on the role of distributive justice in economics. Beginning in 1891, with Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, they have insisted on the just wage as the basis of economic science, a position that has been repeated by every pope since Leo. The economists, on the other hand, have always found this problematic.

• NMEDIAC : Summer 2009: Miniaturization, Miniatures and the Digital by Sheenagh Pietrobruno
  The process of miniaturization and the generation of miniatures, which are integral facets of the digital, yield affective responses. [...][...] These effects are characteristic of the way that the human body determines to a large extent what constitutes a technique of miniaturization and the dimension of a miniature. The sensations of intimacy, possession or control are also evoked by both the practice of miniaturization and the fashioning of miniatures that mark the rise of the printing press, photography and television. Although new media provide distinct forms of miniaturization and miniatures, this progression toward diminution is rooted in earlier technologies. Various key aspects of new media are outlined: the miniaturization of information and space as well as the generation of virtual miniatures, of which Google Earth serves as a case study.

• wishcafe
  What is Wish Café?
  It’s a device for the collective construction of a map of human desire.
  The starting point of this social experiment is the realization that all of us live in a network, that the set of our links defines our place in the world, and that technology provides us with an ever-increasing number of ways to represent that situation.
  Wish Café is, in some way, an anti-net, because it is a network of holes. It intends to make visible, not what we have, but what we are lacking. In other words, to what extent are we still out-of-place in the place we occupy, in which ways are we foreigners at our own home.

• What Now? : The Imprecise and Disagreeable Aesthetics of Remix – Fibreculture Journal Issue 15
  The intellectual work on ‘network culture’ is also an act of violence on framing devices that came prior to it; it deletes as much as it creates, prunes as much as it flowers. Accordingly, we need to broaden and historicise the debate beyond the current tenor of ‘social media’, ‘participatory culture’ and ‘copyright wars’ (Lessig, 2008). Thankfully, the doxa is supple enough in most places to allow for the common to grow muddy, strange flowers to grow and animals to grow fat. Remix culture appeals to us because it is precisely just a moment too late for its discussion, the wave has moved on and the Rhetoric Safari conceives of culture in ways that overarch the remix. Rather than argue for the urgency of this issue of Fibreculture Journal, the editors wish to pause, rewind and record over the apparently urgent question of what is remix and ask instead ‘What Now?’

• Metaphoric Networks in Lexia to Perplexia – Katherine Hayles
  [...] As leading theorists and practitioners Marvin Minsky (1985), Daniel Hillis (1999), and Brian Cantwell Smith (1998) have been telling us, computers are much more than hardware and software. In their most general form, computers are environments of varying scope, from objects that sit on desktops to networks spanning the globe. Indeed, in Edward Fredkin’s (1990) interpretation, computational processes ultimately generate the fabric of the universe. It comes as no surprise, then, to find researchers arguing that computation is fundamentally altering the ways in which humans conceive of themselves and their relations to others. There are, of course, many approaches to this issue, from sociological studies to human factor analysis. Among these approaches are artistic works that tell new stories about the formation of human subjects, instantiating these stories in images as well as words. [...]

Em 2062 a família da série de desenho animado Jetsons, tinha uma empregada-robô de um modelo muito antigo e com a validade vencida chamada Rosie. Rosie nunca era trocada por um modelo mais avançado devido sua dedicação e amabalidade na execução das tarefas. Levava os chinelos a George Jetson, trazia sanduíches, lavava as roupas e ensinava as crianças a jogar basquete.

Pesquisadores coreanos do Korea Institute of Science and Technology inventaram que pode fazer tudo isso (menos o basquete).

Mahru-Z (R), que pode limpar uma casa, colocar roupas na máquina de lavar e colocar comida para esquentar no microondas. Cientistas afirmam que o robô poderia ser utilizado para trabalhar em condições muito difíceis ou perigosas para os seres humanos.

Resultado de pesquisas sobre robôs que demandam investimentos de 3,5 milhões de dólares anuais no Instituto Coreano, o Mahru-Z (R) possui um corpo humanóide, uma cabeça rotativa, braços, pernas e seis dedos. É equipado com visão tridimensional, capaz de observar objetos, reconhecer pessoas, identificar as tarefas a serem feitas e executá-las. O robô-empregado tem 1,3 de altura e pesa 55 kilos.
