o estado do mundo

• The world is too big for us. Too much going on.
  Too many crimes. Too much violence and
  excitement.
• Try as you will, you get behind in the race. It's
  an incessant strain to keep pace and still you
  lose ground.
• Science empties discoveries on you so fast that
  you stagger beneath them in hopeless
  bewilderment. Everything is high pressure. Human
  nature cannot endure much more.
• Editorial in Atlantic Journal, May 16, 1833

THE WORK OF ART IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL
REPRODUCTION

• "Fiat ars -pereat mundus, says Fascism, and, as
  Marinetti admits, expects war to supply the
  artistic gratification of a sense perception that
  has been changed by technology. This is evidently
  the consummation of "l'art pour l'art." Mankind,
  which in Homer's time was an object of
  contemplation for the Olympian gods, now is one
  for itself. Its self-alienation has reached such
  a degree that it can experience its own
  destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first
  order. This is the situation of politics which
  Fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism
  responds by politicizing art.

the futurist manifestofillipo tommaso marinetti,
1909

• 1. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit
  of danger and of temerity.
• 4. We declare that the world's wonder has been
  enriched by a fresh beauty the beauty of speed.
  A racing car with its trunk adorned by great
  exhaust pipes like snakes with an explosive
  breath ... a roaring car that seems to be driving
  under shrapnel, is more beautiful than the
  Victory of Samothrace.
• 10. We want to demolish museums, libraries,
  fight against moralism, feminism, and all
  opportunistic and utilitarian cowardices.

What Engineers Know

• Engineering refers to the practice of organizing
  the design, construction and operation of any
  artifice which transforms the physical and social
  world around us to meet some recognized need

The decay, possibly the collapse, of our
civilization appears to be only a matter of time.

• First, scientific research and science-based
  technological innovation is an indispensable
  presequisite of modern life and civilization.
  There is no alternative. For six or eight billion
  people there is no way back to a less
  sophisticated life style.
• Second, we live better, far better, than people
  ever lived before the technological age. However,
  we are concerned about the future. We realize
  that our present life style cannot be
  extrapolated to the next generations. On a global
  scale, we accumulate less, probably much less,
  technical capital than the non-renewable and
  renewable resources that we use up. This economic
  strategy is not sustainable. The decay, possibly
  the collapse, of our civilization appears to be
  only a matter of time.

The TWO cultures AND the SCIENTIFIC revolution
Charles Percy Snow, físico, 1959

• dois grupos literatos e cientistas
• cientistas não acham que literatura (da cultura
  tradicional) é relevante
• literatos fingem que a ordem natural das coisas
  não existe
• literatos têm por foco a tragédia e isolamento
  humanos cientistas aceitam isso e trabalham para
  mudar a condição social do homem
• literatos são luditas naturais e tendem a NÃO
  entender seu tempo, sua ordem, suas coisas

luciano floridi a infosfera

• spazio semantico costituito dalla totalità dei
  documenti, degli agenti e delle loro operazioni.
• Per documenti si intende ogni genere di dati,
  informazioni e conoscenze, codificati e
  implementati in qualsiasi formato semiotico,
  senza alcun limite di dimensione, tipologia e
  struttura sintattica.
• Il termine agenti fa riferimento a qualsiasi
  sistema in grado di interagire con un documento
  in modo autonomo, come ad esempio una persona,
  unorganizzazione o un programma software sul
  web.
• In realtà un agente nellinfosfera è un tipo
  speciale di documento, capace di interattività
  autonoma (si pensi al proprio profilo individuale
  come cliente di una banca).
• Infine per operazioni si deve intendere tutto
  il genere di azioni, interazioni e trasformazioni
  che possono essere compiute da un agente o alle
  quali può essere soggetto un documento.
• Oggi lattenzione sia concentrata sul mondo delle
  reti digitali, ma linfosfera include anche
  narrazioni orali, filmati televisivi, testi a
  stampa e programmi radiofonici.

ética informacional universal

• information entropy ought not to be caused in the
  infosphere
• information entropy ought to be prevented in the
  infosphere
• information entropy ought to be removed from the
  infosphere
• information ought to be promoted by extending,
  improving, enriching and opening the infosphere,
  that is by ensuring information quantity,
  quality, variety, security, ownership, privacy,
  pluralism and access.

a ética do ciberespaço

• não deve ser antropocêntrica
• trata de realidades materiais e imateriais
• considera a interação da infosfera com a
  fisicobiomentalsfera
• deve ser aberta e universal, mesmo
• como meio para discutir o novo mundo
• como fim para recriá-lo
• a alternativa é achar que os habitantes do novo
  mundo nem alma têm...

há uma tensão entre a cultura e a tecnologia
qualquer?... NÃO.

• L'opposition dressée entre la culture et la
  technique, entre l'homme et la machine, est
  fausse et sans fondement elle ne recouvre
  qu'ignorance et ressentiment. Elle masque
  derrière un humanisme facile une réalité riche en
  efforts humains et en forces naturelles, et qui
  constitue le monde des objets techniques,
  médiateurs entre la nature et l'homme.
• Gilbert Simondon
• in Du mode d'existence des objets techniques,
  Aubier, 1989 1ère Ed. 1959, p.9
