  1. 1. Collaborative Process Change by Inscription - a Contested Terrain for Interaction Designers

    Author : Pär-Ola Zander; Institutionen för informatik; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Activity Theory; CSCL; Representation; Collaborative writing; Interaction Design; Dialectical Materialism; Inscription;

    Abstract : Inscriptions, i.e. the result of how users write, draw, sketch, model or paint or otherwise create persistent content are an important object of study in interaction design. READ MORE

  2. 2. Art and the Real-time Archive: Relocation, Remix, Response

    Author : David Crawford; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; art; aura of information; continuous partial attention; duration; ndexicality; inscription technologies; law of relocation; light of speed; material metaphor; net art; real-time archive; remix; simulated materiality; subject effects; technological addiction;

    Abstract : If Internet artists have recently relocated their work to galleries and museums, there has meanwhile been an increasing engagement on the part of gallery artists with the media. While these migrations are often discussed in aesthetic if not economic terms, this essay asks what such phenomena can tell us about the changing nature of subjectivity in relation to media and technology.

  3. 3. Lab work in science education : Instruction, inscription, and the practical achievement of understanding

    Author : Oskar Lindwall; Berner Lindström; Tim Koschmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Lab work; science education; educational technology; classroom interaction; ethnomethodology; naturvetenskapliga laborationer; IT i utbildning; klassrumsstudier; etnometodologi; Education; Pedagogik;

    Abstract : Taking an analytical perspective founded on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, the four studies presented in this thesis provide detailed analyses of video recorded lab work in mechanics at secondary and university level. The investigated activities all build on educational design afforded by a technology called probeware. READ MORE

  4. 4. Program Matters : From Drawing to Code

    Author : Pablo Miranda Carranza; Katja Grillner; Daniel Koch; Charlie Gulström Hughes; Molly Wright Steenson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; program; algorithm; code; drawing; geometry; notation; score; literacy; writing systems; diagram; formalism; sequence; cybernetics; materiality; research programme; archeological; archive; discourse analysis; practice-based; artefact; bricolage; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Whether on paper, on site or mediating between both, means for reading and writing geometry have been central to architecture: the use of compasses and rulers, strings, pins, stakes or plumb-lines enabled the analysis and reproduction of congruent figures on different surfaces since antiquity, and from the renaissance onwards, the consistent planar representation of three-dimensional shapes by means of projective geometry. Tacitly through practice, or explicitly encoded in classical geometry, the operational syntaxes of drawing instruments, real or imaginary, have determined the geometric literacies regulating the production and instruction of architecture.

  5. 5. Multiparty Quantum Communication and fs-laser Written Integrated Optics Circuits

    Author : Ashraf Mohamed El Hassan; Mohamed Bourennane; Guillermo Andler; Marcos Curty; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum optics; quantum communication; quantum cryptography; fs-laser written waveguides; integrated optics circuits; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : Quantum information science, the rapidly developing interdisciplinary field,  gives power to the information and communications technologies (ICT) by  providing secure communication, precision measurements, ultra-powerful simulation and ultimately computation. It is well known that photons are an ideal candidate for encoding the quantum bit, or "qubit", in quantum information and specially for quantum communication. READ MORE
