Kunsthochschule für Medien - Die Grundidee Schon im Gründungstitel der Kunsthochschule für Medien ist das breite Spannungsfeld enthalten, das Lehre und Forschung dieser Einrichtung trägt: das Interesse an der Kunst im Zeitalter ihrer technischen (Re-)Produzierbarkeit. Künstlerische Phantasie, theoretisches wie historisches Wissen und medientechnische Grundlegung des Ausdrucks - dieses dreifache Reibungsverhältnis produktiv zu gestalten und weiterzuentwickeln, stellt sowohl an die Studierenden als auch an die Lehrenden der Hochschule hohe Ansprüche. Sie arbeiten gemeinsam an der Verwirklichung eines Stücks Utopie: nämlich Prozesse und Sinnbezüge miteinander zu verbinden und zu integrieren, die in der alltäglichen Praxis immer wieder auseinanderzutreiben drohen. Dazu gehört auch die gemeinsame Entwicklung einer medienkulturellen Identität, die sich ihrer sozialen, politischen, ästhetischen und ethischen Eingebundenheiten bewußt ist. Medien sind gesellschaftliche Institutionen.

Bra Trainer is a fictional teaching aid designed by Noam Toran to instruct adolescent boys to overcome the intricacies of opening the brassiere. When initiated the machine mechanically demonstrates the basic principles of clasp disengagement. Following a short pause the machine then re-secures the bra ready for the next demonstration. The piece is inspired from accounts of repressive post-war institutionalised sex education in the UK in which teachers were not allowed to touch any of the props (prophylactics, physical models of reproductive organs) unless using gloves or a stick. In collaboration with Nick Williamson.

Programming DNA A 2-bit language for engineering biology Biological engineering does not have to be confined to the laboratories of high-end industry laboratories. Rather, it is desirable to foster a more open culture of biological technology. This talk is an effort to do so; it aims to equip you with basic practical knowledge of biological engineering.

dikat je optužio Vladu da oteže prodaju 7% dionica T-HT-a radnicima jer želi (još jednom) izvući financijsku korist iz ove tvrtke. Sredinom travnja skupština T-HT-a trebala bi donijeti odluku o isplati dividende i pravo na nju imat će svi koji tog dana budu dioničari T-HT-a. Ako radnici do tog dana ne kupe svojih sedam posto dionica

"Form follows computation" captures a present phenomenon: Methodical overspill of programming is giving rise to a distinct aesthetic sensibility.

Meaning shifts as connotations change over time and reading becomes an act of writing if the connotations are purposefully reformulated. Accordingly, deducing meaning from the author's intention is an intentional fallacy [Wimsatt, Beardsley]. Followed to the extreme, context is everything.

The name of Gary Willis might sound familiar to any person, but with mentioning the name of his formal fusion jazz group Tribal Tech we can be sure that not only the jazz freaks and the fanatic bassplayers will get a heartattack by running over the line up of the first day in the jazz tent.

Productivity Keep track of your time with the Emergent Task Tracker, online edition Designer David Seah's previously mentioned Emergent Task Planner, which we featured as a downloadable PDF, is now available (with a few small tweaks) in a web-based Flash application called the Emergent Task Timer. The idea: type in your pressing to-dos for the day, then fill in a circle for every 15 minutes you spend on each task. At the end of the day, you can print it out to keep an eye on what you've been doing. The Emergent Task Timer will chime every 15 minutes to remind you to fill in a circle, so you've got no excuse not to keep it updated. Not only is this a terrific tool for tracking your time, but it's also a smart way to keep focused on productive endeavors. Thanks Tim!

Excel Excel tip: Instant in-cell graphs The Juice Analytics blog has a clever little Excel trick that creates a bar graph inside cells using the repeat (REPT) function. REPT looks like this: =REPT(text,number_of_times) For instance, REPT("X",10) gives you "XXXXXXXXXX". For in-cell bar charts, the trick is to repeat a single bar "|". When formatted in 8 point Arial font, single bars look like bar graphs.
