Are aesthetics and politics really two different things? The book takes a new look at how they intertwine, by turning from theory to practice. Case studies trace how sensory experiences are created and how collective interests are shaped. They investigate how aesthetics and politics are entangled, both in building and disrupting collective orders, in governance and innovation. This ranges from populist rallies and artistic activism over alternative lifestyles and consumer culture to corporate PR and governmental policies. Authors are academics and artists. The result is a new mapping of the intermingling and co-constitution of aesthetics and politics in engagements with collective orders.

This book introduces and reviews recent advances in the field in a comprehensive and non-technical way by focusing on the potential of emerging citizen-science and social-computation frameworks, coupled with the latest theoretical and modeling tools developed by physicists, mathematicians, computer and social scientists to analyse, interpret and visualize complex data sets. There is overwhelming evidence that the current organisation of our economies and societies is seriously damaging biological ecosystems and human living conditions in the short term, with potentially catastrophic effects in the long term. The need to re-organise the daily activities with the greatest impact – energy consumption, transport, housing – towards a more efficient and sustainable development model has recently been raised in the public debate on several global, environmental issues. Above all, this requires the mismatch between global, societal and individual needs to be addressed. Recent advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can trigger important transitions at the individual and collective level to achieve this aim. Based on the findings of the collaborative research network EveryAware the following developments among the emerging ICT technologies are discussed in depth in this volume: • Participatory sensing – where ICT development is pushed to the level where it can support informed action at the hyperlocal scale, providing capabilities for environmental monitoring, data aggregation and mining, as well as information presentation and sharing. • Web gaming, social computing and internet-mediated collaboration – where the Web will continue to acquire the status of an infrastructure for social computing, allowing users’ cognitive abilities to be coordinated in online communities, and steering the collective action towards predefined goals. • Collective awareness and decision-making – where the access to both personal and community data, collected by users, processed with suitable analysis tools, and re-presented in an appropriate format by usable communication interfaces leads to a bottom-up development of collective social strategies.

Sensors are everywhere. Small, flexible, economical, and computationally powerful, they operate ubiquitously in environments. They compile massive amounts of data, including information about air, water, and climate. Never before has such a volume of environmental data been so broadly collected or so widely available. Grappling with the consequences of wiring our world, Program Earth examines how sensor technologies are programming our environments. As Jennifer Gabrys points out, sensors do not merely record information about an environment. Rather, they generate new environments and environmental relations. At the same time, they give a voice to the entities they monitor: to animals, plants, people, and inanimate objects. This book looks at the ways in which sensors converge with environments to map ecological processes, to track the migration of animals, to check pollutants, to facilitate citizen participation, and to program infrastructure. Through discussing particular instances where sensors are deployed for environmental study and citizen engagement across three areas of environmental sensing, from wild sensing to pollution sensing and urban sensing, Program Earth asks how sensor technologies specifically contribute to new environmental conditions. What are the implications for wiring up environments? How do sensor applications not only program environments, but also program the sorts of citizens and collectives we might become? Program Earth suggests that the sensor-based monitoring of Earth offers the prospect of making new environments not simply as an extension of the human but rather as new “technogeographies” that connect technology, nature, and people.

An investigation of how-to guides for sensor technologies Sensors are increasingly common within citizen-sensing and DIY projects, but these devices often require the use of a how-to guide. From online instructional videos for troubleshooting sensor installations to handbooks for using and abusing the Internet of Things, the how-to genres and formats of digital instruction continue to expand and develop. As the how-to proliferates, and instructions unfold through multiple aspects of technoscientific practices, Jennifer Gabrys asks why the how-to has become one of the prevailing genres of the digital. How to Do Things with Sensors explores the ways in which things are made do-able with and through sensors and further considers how worlds are made sense-able and actionable through the instructional mode of citizen-sensing projects. Forerunners: Ideas First Short books of thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis, questioning, and speculation take the lead

Enabling Local To Global Behaviors In Collectives Across Length Scales written by Steven Ceron and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022 with categories.
Collectives in nature demonstrate behaviors that extend far beyond the capabilities of any single agent. Social slime mold, for example, has thousands of cells that aggregate and form mobile and immobile nutrient-searching structures as a function of the chemical signaling between cells and their interactions with the surrounding environment. This species embodies many features that swarm roboticists wish to incorporate in self-reconfigurable robot collectives: emergent complexity, plasticity, and scalable constituents. This thesis argues that regardless of the length scale, we can implement some of the same principles and features to exploit robot morphology, physical interactions among agents, and low-level coordination mechanisms to enable diverse collective behaviors for useful applications across fields. In this thesis, I present novel emergent behaviors through physical robot collectives at the macro- and micron length scales and virtual collectives and explain how each behavior arises as a function of agents interacting with other agents, agents interacting with or reacting to their environment, and agents exploiting their environment to better influence other agents. I expand the relatively new field of mobile coupled oscillators. Specifically, I present a new iteration of the swarming coupled oscillator (swarmalator) model, which enables many new emergent collective behaviors in addition to those already shown in the literature. It also replicates many behaviors of natural and artificial collectives even though the detailed physical interactions are not taken into account. This abstract model has the potential to inform on the coordination mechanisms possible at different length scales. At the macro-scale communication-constrained coordination may serve as a fall-back, and at smaller length scales it may reveal some collective behaviors that are possible with agents that cannot currently have on-board processing. At the macro-scale, I present soft modular robot collectives that exhibit embodied intelligence by exploiting a tight coupling between sensing and actuation to enable reconfiguration, locomotion, and strain-based consensus among other collective behaviors. I have contributed to the development of various soft actuators, a sensor, and two different types of soft robot collectives with differing capabilities, and have studied these collectives using both physical hardware and simulations. At the micron scale, I present novel behaviors through magnetic microrobot collectives that use physical interactions between agents and their surrounding environment to enable the collective to perform on-demand reconfiguration of various functions and morphologies and manipulate passive objects in the surrounding environment. The microrobot collective behaviors are further studied through a physical model and a swarmalator model. The diverse collective behaviors presented in this thesis hold many potential applications in swarm robotics, self-reconfigurable modular robots, and small-scale manufacturing; additionally, they hold great value for fundamental scientific research in self-assembly, self-organization, and emergent complexity. This thesis expands the fields of soft robotics, microrobotics, and coupled oscillators and demonstrates the potential to unlock many new emergent collective behaviors by exploiting low-level sensing, actuation, and coordination mechanisms.
