Free Art Bureau

Through a variety of activities and production practices, we are essentially concerned with technology, research, teaching & disseminating open practices, helping to empower and build creative communities that are free from the restraints of closed systems. We adopt a critical view of future possibilities in art and design in an open, social and gentlemanly manner. FAB was founded in February 2011 by Mark Webster in a tiny headspace for potential disaster. With the positive help and support from a network of family, friends and busy-body creatives, FAB has grown in to a collaborative community blooming on various celebratory occasions throughout the year.

Ryoji Ikeda, l’esthétique de la data - Qu’est-ce que l’esthétique de la «data» ? Quelles que soient les aspirations de chacun des artistes de cette génération, tous semblent travailler sur un seul et même matériau : la donnée numérique (en anglais «data»), ou encore la notion de signal (message codé de façon à pouvoir être communiqué à distance), à laquelle ils tentent de donner une forme visuelle et sonore, propre à captiver l'imaginaire.

Ryoji Ikeda, l’esthétique de la data - Qu’est-ce que l’esthétique de la «data» ?

Au sein de cette école de la data, c'est sans doute Ryoji Ikeda qui est parvenu à donner la forme la plus aboutie à ses recherches, notamment lors de ses spectacles, Datamatics. Au cours de la projection, le spectateur se voit littéralement immergé dans un univers graphique, animé de chiffres, d'abscisses et d'ordonnées, d'éclats de lumière et d'abstractions géométriques, dont la forme n'est pas sans évoquer, dans un registre plus populaire, la figure de la «digital rain» (la pluie numérique), popularisée par le générique de la série de films Matrix.

Literary-Organism-Poster. Darwinplate. Brain Computer Interface. Researcher controls colleague’s motions in 1st human brain-to-brain interface. University of Washington researchers have performed what they believe is the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface, with one researcher able to send a brain signal via the Internet to control the hand motions of a fellow researcher.

Across campus, researcher Andrea Stocco, right, wears a magnetic stimulation coil over the left motor cortex region of his brain. Stocco’s right index finger moved involuntarily to hit the “fire” button as part of the first human brain-to-brain interface demonstration. Using electrical brain recordings and a form of magnetic stimulation, Rajesh Rao sent a brain signal to Andrea Stocco on the other side of the UW campus, causing Stocco’s finger to move on a keyboard. “The Internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains,” Stocco said.

Imagine if your brain could be seamlessly connected to another person's so that you think their thoughts, feel their feelings and even see what they see.

Warning: this article involves brain-to-brain interfacing

The rapidly developing field of brain-machine interfacing – or more recently brain-brain interfacing – may be bringing this science-fiction vision of "mind melding" closer to reality. But there are good reasons to be sceptical of the more brazen claims emanating from neuroscience laboratories, or from their interpreters in the media. As things stand we are very far from the sort of "mind control" that could mobilise a zombie army. Right now, a study by researchers at the University of Washington is capturing imaginations. They used electroencephalography (EEG) to detect when one person (the "encoder") imagined pressing a button while playing a video game. The research nonetheless highlights some important opportunities in neuroscience. Perspective subjectiviste de la cartographie cognitive. Approche cognitive de la stratégie d'entreprise.

How Google Uses Data to Build a Better Worker - Chris DeRose

So f*** off.” Not the mantra you’d expect from your typical human resources representative. But every new hire for Google’s People Analytics department, part of the company’s HR function (which it calls People Operations), gets a laptop sticker emblazoned with this slogan. More than just an attention getter, it succinctly captures the profound difference in how Google addresses all matters related to people. Googlers maintain a firm belief that insights from data can systematically improve performance and leadership within the company’s ever-growing empire. While the rest of the world is waking up to analytics and the power of Big Data, Google has spent years methodically building one of the most refined performance-management engines in the corporate world. The impetus for the company’s data-based approach to the generally subjective domain of people decisions came from Laszlo Bock, Google’s SVP of People Operations.
