The Galeries — Blog — Understanding the power of the human brain. Donna Haraway - A Cyborg Manifesto. An ironic dream of a common language for women in the integrated circuit This chapter is an effort to build an ironic political myth faithful to feminism, socialism, and materialism.
Perhaps more faithful as blasphemy is faithful, than as reverent worship and identification. Blasphemy has always seemed to require taking things very seriously. I know no better stance to adopt from within the secular-religious, evangelical traditions of United States politics, including the politics of socialist feminism. Ear on Arm. The EAR ON ARM has required 2 surgeries thus far.
An extra ear is presently being constructed on my forearm: A left ear on a left arm. An ear that not only hears but also transmits. A facial feature has been replicated, relocated and will now be rewired for alternate capabilities. Excess skin was created with an implanted skin expander in the forearm. NYU art professor to take photos with camera implanted in the back of his head. In the name of art, New York University photography professor Wafaa Bilal is walking around with a camera implanted in the back of his head.
It’s a situation that invites pithiness: Cyclops would be jealous. It’s the most high-tech third eye ever. Next adopters: mothers? But Bilal, an assistant arts professor at the university’s Tisch School, underwent the yearlong project because he was commissioned to do so. The images, automatically taken once a minute and then streamed live online starting next week, will be showcased at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art when it opens Dec. 30 in Qatar. Technology as applied science. A paradox Perhaps you have noticed a curious phenomenon.
Many engineers and scientists identify technology with applied science. Hybrid arts. Hybrid arts is a contemporary art movement in which artists work with frontier areas of science and emerging technologies.
Artists work with fields such as biology, robotics, physical sciences, experimental interface technologies (such as speech, gesture, face recognition), artificial intelligence, and information visualization. Knowledge, Truth, and Meaning. An excerpt from the online hypertext Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits.
Knowledge Knowledge is justified true belief. Belief in a proposition p is justified if 1) it is developed though a process that reliably yields truth, 2) it is appropriately caused by the fact that p is true, and 3) it would generally not be held if p were false. The reliability criterion entails that synthetic (i.e. inductive) knowledge is always provisional. This Guy and His Beard Explain the Higgs Boson to You Like You’re a Dumb Child.
Over the past couple of days, you may have read that scientists have found the Higgs boson.
You may have even heard some people refer to it as the “God Particle.” You also may have just glossed over that headline because why would you care that they’ve found it, when you don’t even know why the hell they were looking in the first place? In short (really short), the Higgs boson is hypothetical particle (boson) present in a Higgs field. The Higgs boson was first mentioned in 1964 as a way to explain the Higgs mechanism, or, the way in which particles acquire mass. Thus ends my embarrassing attempt at particle physics. Well, if you ever wanted to have the Higgs boson explained to you by a guy wearing a pretty sweet T-shirt – now is your chance.
The “guy” is actually John Ellis, a theoretical physicist who sat down to attempt to succinctly define the Higgs boson just one day before CERN made their big announcement regarding their research into the particle.

Creating a "Fourth Culture" of Knowledge: Jonah Lehrer on Why Science and Art Need Each Other. World's Total CPU Power: One Human Brain. By John Timmer, Ars Technica How much information can the world transmit, process, and store?
Estimating this sort of thing can be a nightmare, but the task can provide valuable information on trends that are changing our computing and broadcast infrastructure. The Third Culture. The title of the book refers to Charles Percy Snow's 1959 work The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, which described the conflict between the cultures of the humanities and science.
Twenty-three people were included in the 1995 book: The book influenced the reception of popular scientific literature in parts of the world beyond the United States. In Germany, the book inspired several newspapers to integrate scientific reports into their "Feuilleton" or "culture" sections (such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). THE THIRD CULTURE. The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are. In the past few years, the playing field of American intellectual life has shifted, and the traditional intellectual has become increasingly marginalized. A 1950s education in Freud, Marx, and modernism is not a sufficient qualification for a thinking person in the 1990s.
Indeed, the traditional American intellectuals are, in a sense, increasingly reactionary, and quite often proudly (and perversely) ignorant of many of the truly significant intellectual accomplishments of our time. Their culture, which dismisses science, is often nonempirical. It uses its own jargon and washes its own laundry. In 1959 C.P. The Future of Science…Is Art? In the early 1920s, Niels Bohr was struggling to reimagine the structure of matter.
Previous generations of physicists had thought the inner space of an atom looked like a miniature solar system with the atomic nucleus as the sun and the whirring electrons as planets in orbit. This was the classical model. But Bohr had spent time analyzing the radiation emitted by electrons, and he realized that science needed a new metaphor. The behavior of electrons seemed to defy every conventional explanation. As Bohr said, “When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.” Bohr had long been fascinated by cubist paintings.

Watch the full proceedings and presentations on the Tate Channel On 19 and 20 March, Tate and the Royal Society collaborate to bring you a screening of the film The Age of Stupid followed by a discussion and a public symposium about the social and psychological impacts of climate change. How do notions of adaptation, mitigation, and geo-engineering expand when artists and scientists listen to each other's ideas?
