EXPERIMENTELLE GESTALTUNG NEUER TECHNOLOGIEN / PROF. RALF BAECKERThis course offers a critical new inspection/evaluation of code and computation. Computation, especially Turing computation, has become a universal cultural technique over the last 80 years, providing the basis for power and control in a networked society, enabling so-called artificial intelligence and almost life-like machine processes. Other, unusual forms of computation and code, such as biological computing, fluidic and mechanical computing, quantum and wave-based computing, emergent and self-organising computing, neural networks and self-generating code, chemical and biological hybrid systems, offer new perspectives and imaginaries of how code and computation will evolve or have emerged. We look into living, dead and zombie media between experiment and application, between artificial life and material experiment.
