Notes on Contributors

Anne Balsamo serves as the Dean of the School of Media Studies at The New School in New York City. Previously she was a faculty member at the University of Southern California in the Annenberg School of Communication and the Interactive Media Division of the School of Cinematic Arts. In 2002 she co-founded Onomy Labs, Inc., a Silicon Valley technology design and fabrication company that builds cultural technologies. From 1999 to 2002 she was a member of RED (Research on Experimental Documents), a collaborative research/design group at Xerox PARC that created experimental reading devices and new media genres. Her book Designing Culture: The Technological Imagination at Work (2011) offers a manifesto for rethinking the role of culture in the process of technological innovation in the 21st century. Her first book, Technologies of the Gendered Body: Reading Cyborg Women (1996), investigated the social and cultural implications of emergent biotechnologies.

Konrad Becker is a researcher, artist, and organizer. He is director of the Institute for New Culture Technologies/t0 and World-Information.Org, a cultural intelligence provider. As co-founder of the Public Netbase project in Vienna (1994-2006) he initiated numerous pioneering media projects in various domains, including electronic music. He has conceptualized and produced international conferences, as well as exhibitions and cultural interventions, and his work has been characterized by extensive cooperation with collectives and protagonists of new artistic practices. As an interdisciplinary researcher he investigates cultural and social implications of technology in information societies. His publications include texts on the politics of the infosphere that have been translated into several languages. His latest books in English include Dictionary of Operations (2012), Strategic Reality Dictionary (2009), Critical Strategies in Art and Media, co-edited with Jim Fleming (2010), Deep Search: The Politics of Search beyond Google, co-edited with Felix Stalder (2009). http://www.world-information.net.

Max Bense (1910-1990) was a German writer and philosopher of science, logic, aesthetics, and semiotics. Bense studied mathematics, physics, and philosophy in Bonn, Cologne (Germany), and Basle (Switzerland). From 1949 onward he was a professor of the philosophy of technology, scientific theory, and mathematical logic at the Technical University of Stuttgart where he taught until 1976. In the late 1950s and the 1960s he was the key figure of the Stuttgart School, thought of as an experimental testing ground for rational aesthetics. Influenced by cybernetics and computer art, Bense devoted himself to creating a foundation for aesthetics based in information theory. He coined the term information aesthetics and tried to develop a scientifically sound and quantifiable aesthetic. Among his publications are Aesthetic Information (1957), Mathematics and Beauty (1960), Aesthetica: An Introduction to New Aesthetics (1965), An Introduction to Information Theoretical Aesthetics (1969), and The Representation and Grounding of Realities: The Sum of Semiotic Perspectives (1986).

Kyle Chayka is a writer and curator living in Brooklyn. He has contributed to publications including The New Yorker, The New Republic, ARTnews, and Modern Painters, covering art s intersection with technology and the rise of artists working on the Internet. His writing can be found in Reading Pop Culture: A Portable Anthology (2013) and he is the author of The Printed Gun: How 3D Printing Is Challenging Gun Control (2013). Chayka is the curator of Dying on Stage: New Painting in New York at Garis & Hahn Gallery and co-curator of Shortest Video Art Ever Sold and National Selfie Portrait Gallery at Moving Image art fair in New York and London.

Sarah Cook is a curator of contemporary art, writer, and new media art historian. She is the author (with Beryl Graham) of Rethinking Curating: Art After New Media (2010) and co-editor (with Sara Diamond) of Euphoria & Dystopia (2011), an anthology of texts about art and technology drawn from over a decade s research at the world-renowned Banff New Media Institute. Sarah Cook received her PhD in curating new media art from the University of Sunderland (2004) where she co-founded the online resource for curators CRUMB (http://www.crumbweb.org). She lectures and publishes widely and has curated exhibitions in Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Mexico City, across Europe, and online, which have been reviewed in publications including Art Monthly, ArtForum, Mute, Rhizome, and we-make-money-not-art. She has been invited an speaker at museums and galleries worldwide including Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Tate (London), Centro Nacional de las Artes (Mexico), National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Istanbul Modern (Istanbul), and Fundacion Telefonica (Buenos Aires).

Annet Dekker is an independent researcher, curator, and writer and core tutor at Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. In 2009 she initiated the online platform http://aaaan.net with Annette Wolfsberger; they coordinate artists-in-residences and set up strategic and sustainable collaborations with (inter)national arts organizations.

In 2008 she began PhD research into strategies for documenting net art at the Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths University, London.

M. Beatrice Fazi is Research Fellow in Digital Humanities & Computational Culture at the Sussex Humanities Lab (University of Sussex, UK). Her research explores questions at the intersection of philosophy, science, and technology. Her current work investigates the limits of formal reasoning in relation to computation, and addresses the ways in which these limits shape the ontology of computational aesthetics. Through doing so, she aims to offer a reconceptualization of contingency within formal axiomatic systems, vis-à-vis technoscientific notions of incompleteness and incomputability.

Ben Fino-Radin is a New York-based media archaeologist specializing in the preservation of digital contemporary art and culture. Fino-Radin serves as Digital Repository Manager at the Museum of Modern Art s department of conservation, and as Adjunct Professor in NYU s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program. In private practice Fino-Radin has advised museums and artists, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, artist Cory Arcangel, and the art collective JODI. Fino-Radin holds an MS and MFA in Library and Information Science and Digital Art, respectively, from Pratt Institute and is an alumnus of Rhizome at the New Museum where he formerly served as Digital Conservator.

Mary Flanagan pushes the boundaries of medium and genre across writing, visual arts, and design to innovate in these fields with a critical play-centered approach. As an artist she has created over twenty major works ranging from game-inspired systems to computer viruses and embodied interfaces to interactive texts,which are exhibited internationally. As a scholar interested in how human values are in play across technologies and systems, Flanagan has written more than twenty critical essays and chapters on games, empathy, gender and digital representation, art and technology, and responsible design. Her recent books include Critical Play (2009) and Values at Play in Digital Games, with Helen Nissenbaum (2014). Flanagan s work has been supported by grants and commissions from organizations including the British Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the ACLS, and the National Science Foundation. Flanagan is the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities at Dartmouth College, Massachusetts.
