FCJ-130 Embedding response: self production as a model for an actuated architecture
Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and Karin Bech CITA Centre for Information Technology and Architecture, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen Introduction Ubiquitous computing positions a world where computation is embedded into our surrounding environment.

Ubiquity Editorial – Interaction Designs for Ubicomp Cultures I. Ubicomp Cultures: Hyperbolic Vision, Factual Developments This is a journal issue invested in remarking more than once upon the undecidability hovering today around our getting into contact with ‘ubiquity’ or ‘pervasiveness’ as a potential to be further actualized in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction…
Issue 18 – Trans
It is now perhaps a commonplace that digital, networked and informational media are extremely transient. They diversify in form and function at a dizzying rate. At the same time, they transit and fuse “social” and “natural” differences in a manner which reconfigures all the worlds involved. It is also perhaps a commonplace to suggest that…

It would be to seek experience at its source, or rather, above that decisive turn where, taking a bias in the direction of our utility, it becomes properly human experience. (Bergson, 1991: 184) Tactical media (TM) was…
FCJ-125 From Representation to Sensation: The Transduction of Images in John F. Simon Jr.’s ‘Every Icon’
Troy Rhoades. Concordia University, Montreal. [Abstract] Perhaps the peculiarity of art is to pass through the finite in order to rediscover, to restore the infinite.—Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, What is Philosophy? (Deleuze and Guattari, 1994: 197) Science and Art When encountering John F. Simon Jr.’s software artwork Every Icon (1997) on his website,…
