20 Nov '09

Hi! manche kennen mich vielleicht noch vom letzten Jahr. Da war ich schon mal spontan in Wien und hab zusammen mit Sven und ein paar anderen ein paar Kurzvorträge gehalten. Dieses Wochenende bin ich wieder in Wien. Hat denn jemand Lust auf noch ein paar Kurzvorträge und Gedankenaustausch? Ich könnte auch noch einen Vortrag über Datenschutzfreundliche Terminplanung halten, den ich sowieso für den CCC vorbereitet habe… Also wenn Interesse besteht, sagt Bescheid.

A Teledildonic Soiree: Arse Elektronika Vienna Special
by das ende der nahrungskette 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

== A TELEDILDONIC SOIREE == Arse Elektronika Vienna Special http://www.monochrom.at/arse-elektronika Friday, November 20, 8 PM @ Raum D, Museumsquartier, Vienna == What is the sex of the future, and why aren't we having it yet? In this talk about the current state of sex toy technology, including computer controlled toys, teledildonics, and whatever weird stuff he had to bring through customs with him, Kyle Machulis (of Nonpolynomial Labs and http://slashdong.org) covers what's available to the consumer currently, why it sucks, and what's coming in the near and far future. Outlining the thoughts and strategies that go into designing the interface to a sex toy, he asks the question: What can the DIY and open source community do to help further everyone with a access to a computer getting laid? About the speaker: Kyle Machulis, aka qDot, is a researcher of alternate input mechanisms and haptics, which is really a fancy way of saying he breaks sex toys. Through his Slashdong webpage, he uses the topic of teledildonics (remotely actuated sexual experience) to teach the basic concepts of software, electrical and mechanical engineering. He also tracks the convergence of sex and technological advances in toys and interaction, building on the idea that paradigms for interfaces people would use for intimate encounters on computers can be extended to other usage experiences. He is one of monochrom's collaborators at Arse Elektronika in San Francisco. == Do Androids Sleep With Electric Sheep? Critical Perspectives on Sexuality and Pornography in Science and Social Fiction == Johannes Grenzfurthner will introduce you to the brand new Arse Elektronika Anthology "Do Andoids Sleep With Electric Sheep?" Taking up where the successful first part of the Arse Elektronika book series left off, this anthology stands under the motto "future" -- and the ways in which the present sees itself reflected in it. Maintaining a broadened perspective on technical development and technology while also putting special emphasis on its social implementation, this anthology focuses on Science and Social Fiction. The genre of the "fantastic" is especially well suited to the investigation of the touchy area of sexuality and pornography: actual and assumed developments are frequently depicted positively and approvingly, but just as often with dystopian admonishment. Here the classic, and continuingly valid, themes of modernism represent a clear link between the two aspects: questions of science, research and technologization are of interest, as is the complex surrounding urbanism, artificiality and control (or the loss of control). Depictions of the future, irregardless of the form they take, always address the present as well. Imaginations of the fantastic and the nightmarish give rise to a thematic overlapping of the exotic, the alienating and, of course, the pornographic/sexual as well. Featuring essays and stories by Rudy Rucker, Richard Kadrey, James Tiptree, Jr., Allen Stein, Sharing is Sexy, Jason Brown, Cory Doctorow, Annalee Newitz, Tina Lorenz, Reesa Brown, Karin Harrasser, Isaac Leung, Rose White, Mela Mikes, Viviane, Susan Mernit, Chris Noessel, Kit O'Connell, Jens Ohlig, Bonni Rambatan, Thomas Roche, Bonnie Ruberg, Mae Saslaw, Violet Blue, Nathan Shedroff, 23N!, Benjamin Cowden, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Daniel Fabry. Edited by Johannes Grenzfurthner, Günther Friesinger, Daniel Fabry, Thomas Ballhausen. Published by RE/Search Publications (San Francisco) in cooperation with monochrom.

Mit Susan Greenfield und Chris Hughes treffen zwei Menschen aufeinander, die sich beide intensiv mit den neuen Möglichkeiten von Internet und Mobilfunk und deren Bedeutung auf die Gesellschaft beschäftigen. Der eine als begeisterter Gestalter, die andere mit Blick auf die Auswirkungen auf unser Denken und Fühlen. Eine spannende Diskussion erwartet uns. Chris Hughes 2004 war er Mitbegründer von Facebook, 2006 schloss er sein Studium der Geschichte und Literatur in Havard „Magna cum laude“ ab, 2007 wurde er zum Mastermind hinter My.barackobama.com. Mit dieser Online-Kampagne setzte Hughes erstmals das Internet als großangelegtes, politisches Tool ein und zeigte damit den Erfolg von und mit Social Networks auf. Neben Facebook - weltweit das meistbenutzte digitale, soziale Netzwerk - verwendete er während des Wahlkampfs auch Twitter und weitere Online-Portale. Hughes arbeitet heute für das Venture-Capital-Unternehmen General Catalyst Partners, ist weiterhin an Facebook beteiligt und steht dem Unternehmen als Berater zur Verfügung. Bevor die Facebook-Story im nächsten Jahr in die Kinos kommt, sehen wir Chris Hughes live auf der Bühne des mobil.futuretalk09. Baroness Susan Greenfield Baroness Susan Greenfield Die britische Hirnforscherin, Bestseller-Autorin und Mitglied des Houses of Lords wird von „The Guardian“ zu den einflussreichsten Frauen Großbritannien gezählt. Harpers & Queen nannte sie „Eine der inspirierendsten Frauen der Welt“. Ihr Spezialgebiet ist die Physiologie des Gehirns. Greenfield ist unter anderem Professorin in Oxford, wo sie sich mit den Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Technik und deren Einflüsse auf das Gehirn beschäftigt. Ein großes Anliegen für sie ist, ein breiteres öffentliches Verständnis der Wissenschaft zu erreichen. Ein Beitrag dazu sind die neun populärwissenschaftlichen Bestseller, die Greenfield geschrieben hat. In ihrem letzten Buch „Tomorrow´s People” setzt sie sich mit dem Einfluss der Technik auf unser Denken und Fühlen auseinander. Wir sind gespannt auf die kritische Sichtweise von Susan Greenfield zum Thema Social Networks. Moderation: Sandra Maischberger Sandra Maischberger Journalistin, Produzentin, Autorin und Moderatorin der Talkshow „Menschen bei Maischberger“ im Ersten (ARD). http://www.mobilefuturetalk.at/futuretalk2009/event/index.php?page=event Mittwoch, 21.
