Sabato Visconti [US] – #Glitchbooth SAT Oct 6th – 8pm [interactive installation @ Siva]

#Glitchbooth> is a live interactive video installation where participants have their best selves captured in 1-to-2 minute video portraits. The video portraits are glitched using a corrupted DivX encoder and processed for live screening so that participants can see their glitch selves. Modeled after the photo booths found in weddings and events, #Glitchbooth considers "Selfie Culture" as a social practice that is conditioned by the structures of digital technologies and distribution channels.

Sabato Visconti — a Brazilian-born photographer and new media artist based in Western Massachusetts. He was born in São Paulo, grew up in Miami, and studied Political Science at Amherst College. Sabato’s work seeks to reconfigure traditional understandings of photography for the post-internet era, where photographic and cinematic practices become absorbed by digital processes, hybridized media, online networks, and machine intelligence. His work captures the subject in the face of ecological turbulence driven by the dysfunctions of vast impersonal systems. Sabato began experimenting with glitch processes in 2011 with the help of a defective memory card that randomly wrote zeroes on JPEG files. Since then, his work with glitch and digital media has been awarded the ArtSlant Prize IX and has been shown in places like Tate Britain, ICA Boston, SPRING/BREAK Art Show in New York City, LACDA, the FILE Festival in São Paulo, as well as galleries throughout the world. His work has also been published in TIME Magazine, WIRED, The New York Times, AI-AP’s "Latin American Fotografia 4" Anthology, and in Photographer’s Forum annual "Best of Photography" books for eight straight years. sabatobox.com

Lovely Insomnia [HU] SAT Oct 6th – 9pm – Live Set/DJ Set [performance @ Siva]

Gábor Hufnágel — a Hungarian electronic music composer/producer. He’s currently studying electronic music and digital arts at University of Pécs. He describes his music as a fusion of polyrhythms, rich textures and field-recordings. His process often involves algorithmic techniques and aleatoric elements.

During his studies he was influenced by the works of the 20th century electroacoustic composers but he always felt the contemporary experimental music scene closer to him. His upcoming debut album (from which he will play a live set at /’fu:bar/) would like to explore the relation of these two and contribute to abolish the boundaries, elitism and controversy which still surrounds these topics. His works are also heavily emotion-centered, dynamic in terms of tempo as he also tries to unfold the possibilities of contrasts in music.

Ramiro Polla [BE] – FFglitch SUN Oct 7th – 7pm – [lecture @ Siva]

FFglitch is a precision multimedia editing tool based on FFmpeg. When you glitch a file using a hex editor, it's like getting a tattoo with a radioactive axe. You might get some cool results, but you have very high chances of dying from blunt trauma or some cancerous genetic mutation. FFglitch, on the other hand, is more like genetic engineering. You manipulate your genes to naturally grow your tattoo. FFglitch produces valid bitstream, so Facebook or YouTube won't choke on your files. It is so precise it can barely be considered glitching at all...

Ramiro Polla — likes hacking things. He was an FFmpeg developer for 5 years, but now he got better... ffglitch.org

Mark Klink aka srcXor [US] – 3d glitching SUN Oct 7th – 8pm-10pm – [teleworkshop @ hacklab01]

Demonstrating methods for glitching .obj files, using text editors and spreadsheets. Mark will also discuss the standard triangle and edgeloop patterns that are used to form most 3d models and then demonstrate remeshing techniques which can ultimately produce more interesting glitches. If time is available, we’ll discuss other 3d file formats and ways they might be glitched.

Mark Klink — has been and done many things: swept floors, worked in a factory, been an athlete, a minor government official, a lifeguard, a computer programmer, and a traditional print maker. For twenty years he taught children and other educators how to use computers. But the thing he likes best (beside family) is making curious pictures. srcxor.org

Holographic_thought_process [FR] – Video Dirty Mixer MON Oct 8th – 2pm-5pm – [workshop @ hacklab01]

Building of a video dirty mixer, which "mixes" two analog video sources the bad way, resulting in a glitched output. A good case study to talk about composite sync signal and how messing with it can yield wonderful results.

Bastien Lavaud — imagines and creates electronics devices for arts. Audio, video and DIY enthusiast, he shares his creations on his website by providing information on how to build them, and makes demonstration of it in the realisation of video clips/VJing under the alias Holographic Thought Process. syntonie.fr

Nikša Gligo [HR] – Can glitch music be music at all? MON Oct 8th – 6pm – [lecture @ Siva]

The answer to this question depends on what we consider music. Looking back in history we find the expressions like musica mundana, musica humana, and musica instrumentalis. But the meaning of musica there is equal to harmonia, i.e. accord and has nothing to do with the narrower meaning of harmony in the tonal theories. My aim here is to point out that glitch music belongs to all these kinds of music which do not imply traditional, constant determinants of music as art. Glitch music belongs to the same group as "furniture music" (Erik Satie), "paper music" (Josef A. Riedl), "noise music" (Italian futurists), "prose music"/"music to read" (Dieter Schnebel), "eye music" (Luciano Berio), "son organisé" (Edgard Varèse), "organization of sounds" (John Cage), "sound art"... If we want to avoid "sound art" as something that doesn’t belong to music in the most general sense, then we are obliged to think about music in plural ("musics"). Glitch music would then be just one of them with its own theory, aesthetics and meaning.

Nikša Gligo — born in Split in 1946. Croatian musicologist. He graduated in English and comparative literature from Zagreb University (1969) and in musicology from Ljubljana University (1973). He later studied with Koraljka Kos at Zagreb University (MA 1981) and with Andrej Rijavec at Ljubljana University, gaining the PhD in 1984 with a dissertation on problems of new music. He was awarded scholarships to study at the universities of Cologne, Berlin (with Carl Dahlhaus and Rudolf Stephan) and Freiburg (with Hans Heinrich Eggebrecht). He has taught at the Zagreb Academy of Music since 1986. He is the ordinary member of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences and of Academia Europaea in London. Gligo is concerned with the aesthetics, semiotics and terminology of 20th-century music and the use of computers in musicology. His project on the standardization of 20th-century Croatian music terminology resulted in his book Pojmovni vodič kroz glazbu 20. stoljeća, which is relevant to both musicology and linguistics, and for which he received the Croatian National Award in the Humanities.

Magno Caliman [NL] – screenBashing MON Oct 8th – 8pm – [performance @ Siva]

screenBashing is a live coding piece, where audio and visual materials are programmed in real time during its performance. It utilises SuperCollider (a sound oriented programming language) for it's sound components, and C (a general purpose programming language) for it's visual elements. By using the very basic functionality, present in pretty much all programming languages, of printing characters on the screen back to the user, the visuals are created by printing characters such as backslashes and underlines in rapid succession, and at the same time freezing the whole system several times per second, creating the illusion of animated motion; something neither C nor the printing function were originally intended to do. (...) After a certain threshold, the system becomes erratic, up to a point where it is no longer possible neither to gain control, nor to foresee the end of the performance, which happens at the onset of the machine processor capability, when it indubitably fails and crashes, or there is no alternative but to force shut both the visual and audio generators. The current version of the performance, to be played at fu:bar, adds a new layer of error, with the use of a laptop not connected to a power outlet. The amount of charge left in the battery at the beginning of the performance is chosen in order to determine the duration of the piece, which ends with the involuntary shut down of the machine.

Magno Caliman — originally trained as a classical composer at the conservatory, but with a background as a hardcore / death metal guitarist, now present himself as a sound artist and multimedia performer, with a focus on the intersection between art and technology. In particular, two specific practices have guided almost entirely the processes in his works for the last few years: the construction, modification and manipulation of electronic circuits; and the embracing of programming languages as places for poetical speculation. vimeo.com/magnocaliman

Random Pixel Order [FR] – The Archive TUE Oct 9th. – 2pm – [open studio @ Siva]

Random Pixel Order is a project started in 2015 by Clara R/ and Guillaume Cartis - a crossover collective between IT and micro-edition. The project aims to bring the two closer and comprehend how they can mutually develop. Torn between glitch / dev / analog hacking on the one hand and illustrations / graphic novel / zine on the other, the collective choses to do both. The Archive is a digital art zine collection, every publication with its little background story, a particular technique used (sometimes multiple). The collection is open to digital art in general and holds a multitude of techniques - glitch (sonification, 3D glitches, pixel sorting,...), creative coding, web found images, bitmap and MS Paint drawings, scanner movement, digital collage... Different print techniques are also used - some are fully digital prints, some are screenprint or riso, others mix printing techniques. The entire collection of 50 zines will be presented at /’fu:bar/ 2018. Anyone involved with the festival is invited to participate to author a new zine on the spot.

Clara R/ — founded RandomPixelOrder in 2015 with Guillaume Cartis while she was an undergraduate student in mathematics and computer science in Bordeaux, France. Seeing that much code everyday and being fascinated by mathematical functions, she couldn't keep herself from trying to apply those new knowledges to something visual and fun. She experimented on different techniques along the time, going from classic 2D glitch and datamoshing at the very beginning to generative coding and 3D glitch. During this few years, Clara has been implicated on creating projects that build the bridge between zines and computer. Today, as the collective is exploring new physical supports, Clara is opening herself to more interactive techniques as Arduino and video game making. Now she continues her master degree in graphic computer science, robotic and video game while making posters and fanzines. Guillaume Cartis — after a few self-published zines, founded RandomPixelOrder in 2015 with Clara Rigaud aiming to create a bridge between digital and zine making. Exploring different glitch art techniques, he introduced himself to 3D, video editing and film making. In 2016 he joined Disparate, an associative zine store, where he works on Bordeaux Zinefest organisation and workshops. During those years he started to get into risography, screen printing, scenography and awkward electronic music. facebook.com/randompixelorder/

Ingeborg Fülepp [HR] – The history of artistic usage of errors in film, video and digital techniques TUE Oct 9th – 6pm – [lecture @ Siva]

The twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first can be labeled as a century of media art. Not only filmmakers, but also painters, sculptors, graphic artists, architects, stage designers and many others have been experimenting with media technologies since its very beginning. This lecture will present a brief historical review of the use of media technology imperfections as an artistic expression. By using the example of Media in Motion Berlin-Zagreb GbR (Ingeborg Fülepp and Heiko Daxl, 1990 to 2012) video production, the lecture will present a multiplicity of artistic image editing approaches, which were realized by a symbiosis of analogue film, video and digital errors in specific video works. At the end of the lecture, visitors will be able to see a selection of the best works of Media in Motion art production.

Ingeborg Fülepp — Born in Zagreb, lives and works in Rijeka, Zagreb and Berlin. Studied film editing (at the Academy for Theatre, Film and Television in Zagreb; today Academy of Dramatic Art - ADU) and post graduate studies, film, video and interactive media at Harvard University (Ed.M) and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Media Lab. Taught film editing at the Academy of Dramatic Art (ADU), Zagreb in 1978 - 1993. Lectures in USA, Great Britain, Netherlands, Austria and Germany since 1983, as well as at the New Media Department at the Academy of Applied Arts (APURI, Rijeka) since 2013, where she founded, and leads the Center for Innovative Media CIM since 2017. She’s an active participant of many international scientific gatherings, exhibitions and festivals, and participates in several EU projects as an associate or a jury member. Worked as a film and video editor on many productions. Received a multitude of scholarships and awards as an independent artist. Own artistic practice involves film, interactive multimedia projects, video art and video installations, of which some were shown in the New National Gallery in Berlin, Museum of Contemporary Art (MSU) in Zagreb, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMSU) in Rijeka, as well as in many private and national galleries around the world. As a curator, an art director and a media art event organizer - she has ran a non-profit Media in Motion GbR, Berlin-Zagreb with Heiko Daxl, and has organized numerous international exhibitions and gatherings. fuelepp.com

FRGMNT [DE] – SSB - Sequenced Noise Beauty TUE Oct 9th – 8pm – [performance @ Siva]

The performance is a ~30 minutes live improvisation with advanced self made electronics. This involves the SNU (Special Noise Unit, FM-synth), sequencers, ring modulators and unique ultrasonic instruments (transmitters & "bat ears"). The main Units (SNU & sequencer I put under open license & distribute docu after the concert).

Jo FRGMNT Grys — born 1963 in Essen/Germany. Studied chemistry, philosophy, mineralogy etc @ the Justus-Liebig-University of Gießen then more & more turned towards arts using scientifically influenced thinking to investigate formation of structure from noise & order, from error & law and feedback as his main artistic themes. Grys is working with video-snow, electronics, computers, body & brain. Performed with noisiV (self-made electronics and video manipulations), TOB (transmitters and self-made electronics) as FRGMNT (structured noise & DIY ultrasonics) since 2010 and 2VM (VJ team) since 2002. Grys also makes electronic installations & gives workshops since 2004. Among other festivals he has taken part in V2´s DEAF NL, Piksel NO, Pixelache FI, Art Trail IE, Dorkbot CH, CTM DE. Works as an artist & inventor of machines. In recent years he also presents his computer graphics work to the public. frgmnt.org

FRGMNT [DE] – SNU noise machine WED Oct 10th – 2pm-5pm – [workshop @ hacklab01]

In this workshop, participants will be shown how to build the SNU (Special Noise Unit), an experimental sound circuit which uses illegal states falling between 1 and 0, and drives the digital chip it uses into an in-between world of uncertainty, resulting in complexity and uncontrollable behaviour, but also a playable instrument.

Magno Caliman [NL] – Error making and "not-knowing": some particularities of the relation between artists and programming languages WED Oct 10th – 6pm – [lecture @ Siva]

Computer programmers working in non-artistic applications and artists using programming languages to support an artistic practice might seem, at first, to be making use of the same tools (computational devices), and therefore can be thought of having similar practices. In this lecture we will draw parallels between the modes of operation of this two use cases. Specifically, we will comment on how artists are in a position not conceivable to the professional programmer: one where error making, trial-and-error, and "not knowing" some of the underling technical aspects of the practice are not only expected, but sometimes necessary in both the day-to-day experimental practice, as well as in the learning of those computational tools.

Magno Caliman — originally trained as a classical composer at the conservatory, but with a background as a hardcore / death metal guitarist, I now present myself as a sound artist and multimedia performer, with a focus on the intersection between art and technology. In particular, two specific practices have guided almost entirely the processes in my works for a few years now: the construction, modification and manipulation of electronic circuits; and the embracing of programming languages as places for poetical speculation. vimeo.com/magnocaliman/

Paul Vivien [FR] – 99% WED Oct 10th – 8pm – [performance @ Siva]

Loading… Loading… a transfer, a life, a movie, everything needs a time to prepare itself before it’s ready, before it becomes perceptible and pleasant. And when it’s ready, hurray! We can consume it. Why do we need it to be ready? Why don’t we prefer the things which are still in progress? A premature baby, an immature fruit or the current moment of my life with the evolving cells of my body? The last percent is missing, just enough to make you feel uncomfortable about this loading which will never end, with this file and my life you will never successfully download.

Paul Vivien — a new media artist who creates installations and performances. Experimenting with lights, generative custom software, video and sound, each project is an opportunity to discover a new expression way. Thanks to new technologies, he tries to make the virtual boundaries tangible, to augment the experience we could have of the real, accompanied by technology as invisible as possible. The artistic universe of Paul Vivien is hosted by a research about digital forms of life, a theme merging the notions of singularity, artificial intelligence, science fiction and nature. Based in Paris, Paul does talks and workshops at ENSAAMA, ECV and EPSAA art schools. In parallel of his solo projects, he participates to OYÉ visual art label production support, kaleidos studio art and design researches, exhibitions curation, and Omicron Persei 8 live AV. paulvivien.fr

ROUND TABLE THU Oct 11th – 6pm @ Gallery Siva

— on the current state of reinterpretative new media, its (role)models, changes, its influences, in regard to its artistic and technical ethos and praxis. The talk aims to discuss and contextualize diverse glitch-based critical new media (& appropriation) practices, in the company of /’fu:bar/ 2018 guest artists.

Nada Hasan [EG] – Experimental Desires [safe passage] THU Oct 11th – 8pm – [performance @ Siva]

A performance of reading texts and verbatim poems, installations of glitched video and live audio-visuals; an onsite experiment of a woman and her alter egos as she seeks to become the super human. The piece involves the ambivalent contradictions of female/male, weak/strong and white/black as they reside within a single body navigating hostile geographies. The project will explore the emotional, mental and physical aspects of becoming the perfect human through a mind trip and a process of being exposed to an archive of the most tangible realities and feelings, desires and traumas.

Nada Hasan — a Cairo based multidisciplinary artist from Southern Egypt. Her special focus is in video and media arts but her artistic practices vary between illustration, graphic design, performance, theater and storytelling. BA degree holder from faculty of Languages, Russian language and literature department and studied filmmaking at the Cairo Jesuit Cinema School by the year 2010. Since then she developed her skills in film and video art work by self teaching, exploring and experimenting new and various forms of creating moving image. Her work focuses on the emotional package of a body as a commodified being; making the struggles of bodies visible, emotions resistant to modern society persecution, while emphasizing the experience of oppression and our survival performances in functioning within privilege imbalances in connection to the quadrilogy of Race, Gender, Sexuality and Power. Her video and media art practice is curious to transcend the limitations of classical filmmaking and explore contemporary new media practices and its broad possibilities to create an alternative relation between the artist and spectator while constructing unconventional visual, image and motion driven narratives.  vimeo.com/user5161708

Tabache & Lady oN [IT] – cHroma flux FRI Oct 12th – 8pm – [performance @ Siva]

"cHroma flux" explores a process of metamorphosis in which cells of colour and sound expand in order to create new forms. Thanks to technological devices, colour pixels and acoustic music mutate and distribute themselves throughout space giving life to a "technological landscape". The visuals are generated by live manipulation of paintings that have been transferred onto acetate. The resulting prints are positioned onto TV screens by means of feedback generated by webcams and this process triggers a series of transformations of the coloured pixels. The visual flow of colour is managed and produced thanks to an analogue video mixer. The result is a technological animation of colour as if under a microscope. It becomes a kind of digital mantra that responds to itself, reproducing and moving outwards to take over a new space. The audio has been developed from synth sources and classical music sampling. The acoustic samples have been literally deformed by digital and analogical technology, so that they reach the listener as naked sound that has been completely transformed from its original grammatical, cerebral and human nature as musical language. In "cHroma flux", sound and image influence each other in a synaesthetic vision that has been achieved not by machinery but by the physical gesture of a performance coordinated by the performer’s reciprocal listening and looking.

Tabache — starts his journey in 2004 with "Problems with my Mind", an electro experimental punk band with influences from bands like Suicide and subsequently flow into House, Techno, IDM. Publishing two records, "Album" (2005) and "Stato di Tensione"(2007). After moving to Bologna, he started his first solo project, Tabache, specifically devoted to a live and sensorial experience, with strong influences from Techno and Ambient. His new life injected him a new flow of creativity, which brought Francesco to publish in 2015 his first solo record ‘Searching a total state’, and to found his own record label with Alberto Randi and Giovanni Ricchi, "Timeless Records". In the same year he curated the performance and sound design for the performative theatre shows directed by Ennio Ruffolo. His natural interest in clubbing leaded him to open a new channel for the electronic music in Bologna and surroundings, with a serie of electronic events, such as "Sunday Calling" (2012 - 2014), "Futuro Dancefloor" (2015 - 2017), "Bologna Elettrica" (Electronic experimental Festival in XM24 social center, 2017, 2018) , and the new art collective "Einheit" (2017). soundcloud.com/tabache Lady_oN — operates as a videomaker and a visual artist on the national and international scene, realizing dreamlike live visuals sets, wraparound and imaginative visual scenographies invading the spaces of DJ sets, live music, installations and theatrical performances. In a constant state of research and experimentation, Lady_on’s visuals create hypnotic space-time fabrics in a cut up of images, video synthesis, found footage and feedback, contaminating the many pre-existing visuals with the possible infinites of live shooting and sonic incursions. Simultaneously, she is working on the Mediamorphose project, researching a multiplicity of visual expressions via music clips and video documenting reality.instagram.com/mediamorphose/

"Ondes noires" screening & FESTIVAL CLOSING FRI Oct 12th – 9pm @ Gallery Siva

"Ondes noires" / "Dark Waves", Documentary (21’14’’) In an ultraconnected society where waves have almost invaded every space, three electromagnetic intolerant people bear witness of survival in a world that seems more and more inacessible to them. The staging explores the idea of a deceleration in time. A necessary condition for the perception of a reality that extends beyond the visible. Written & Directed by Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis; Cinematography by Nikos Appelquist Dalton; Production : Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains.

It's Not Just About Your Time at a Speedcubing Competition

When Hungarian sculptor Enro Rubik created his Magic Cube, he created a puzzle that took the world by storm in the 1980s. Like most puzzles and trends, the popularity waned over time and what remained was a committed group of individuals who still find the puzzle something of worth. I have always had the philosphical belief that we all need 'Homes'. 'Homes' are spots where we belong and where we can be ourselves. There are natural 'homes' created by extra-curricular opportunities - athletics, music, 4-H, FFA, and clubs offer students a chance to find spots of comfort where they can be themselves and be around folks of similar interest. What Enro Rubik may or may not realize is that his puzzle created another 'Home' - one for speedcubers who gather at different locations with the sole purpose of solving these puzzles called 2 x 2's, 3 x 3's, 4 x 4's, and 5 x 5's as fast as they can.

This is March in Indiana and 5000-10,000 individuals fill gymnasiums to watch their hometown teams compete for a chance to be state basketball champions. On the weekend where semi-state champions were crowned in locations from Lafayette to Seymour, something as wonderful and magical was happening in a conference room in downtown Indianapolis. A speedcubing competition was being held and I had the opportunity to attend to watch the child of a friend of my wife and mine. What I saw was terrific. A row of tables lined the length of one side of the conference hall. On these tables were digital time-keeping devices and pads where competitiors rest their hands. Volunteer judges sit at each end of the table near a time-keeping device. Runners bring a small plastic container which includes a scoresheet and a cube. The judges take the scoresheet out, then turn over the container hiding the cube within. When the competitor is ready, the container is lifted and the competitor has 15 seconds for pre-examination, then places his/her hands back on the mat and then releases hands which begins the timer. The cuber then solves the cube as fast as possible. When the cube is solved, the competitor drops it, hits the pad and the time is locked. The judge records and initials the time and the competitor does the same and both the cube and scoresheet are placed in the bucket to be picked up to have the score recorded and the cube scrambled again in the next attempt (each round a competitor gets 5 chances with the highest and lowest times removed and the remaining three scores averaged).

It's amazing how this little community functions. It's a friendly competitive community with people volunteering to judge and conversations about 'algorithms' to solve the cubes discussed. There are parents and friends with iPhones everywhere - recording attempts for critiquing later. You see it's all about speed at these cubing competitions. There are also celebrities at these events. There was a competitior named Lucas Etter who solve on 3x3 in under six seconds. Six seconds! I cannot fathom that because I can't solve the cube once. There are also moments of victory as individuals slam the cube to the surface and fist pump and yell, "Yes!" because they have reached a personal best. You don't see fans screaming at referees or parents micromanaging their child competitors from the seats. Rather, they are there in a supportive fashion just watching what is unfolding.

It's not just about your time at a speedcubing competition; it's so much more. What is evident to all is that these competitors have found a 'home' - a very special home. And in this 'home' those who are a part of it feel like they belong and feel validated that their interest - which is never going to be as popular as a person who can shoot a basketball through a hoop successfully 15 times during a 30 minute game - matters. Because what we know about life is that if we all find a place where we feel we belong and we feel valued, we are 'home'. I was reminded of this fact at the cubing competition. What struck me was that what Mr. Rubik did when he created his magic cube was create a puzzle of great worth. What he also did was foster all that is good and right about this world when people come together in an inclusive environment where differences don't matter and personal bests are as exciting as trophies or medals. And if we can all do this - find our 'home' where we can be ourselves, work with others, and feel like we belong - we have truly done something.

Bitcoin Vs Goldcoin

Bitcoin... Personal Nirvana?

If you do not know what Bitcoin is, start a bit of study on the internet, and you will probably get lots... but the limited story is Bitcoin came to be as a medium sized of trade, without a middle bank or simply bank with issue getting involved. Additionally, Bitcoin deals are supposed to always be private, that may be anonymous. Almost all interestingly, Bitcoins have no real existence; these exist solely in a software application, as a form of virtual truth.

The general plan is that Bitcoins are 'mined'... interesting period here... simply by solving tremendously difficult math formula -more difficult while more Bitcoins are 'mined' into living; again interesting- on a computer system. Once made, the new Bitcoin is placed in an electronic 'wallet'. It is in that case possible to help trade true goods or perhaps Fiat forex for Bitcoins... and the other way round. Furthermore, seeing that there is no critical issuer regarding Bitcoins, its all remarkably distributed, so resistant to currently being 'managed' by simply authority.

By natural means proponents involving Bitcoin, those that benefit from the regarding Bitcoin, firmly insist rather noisally that 'for sure, Bitcoin is money'... and not only this, but 'it is the best funds ever, the amount of money of the future', etc ... Effectively, the supporters of Fusca shout as loudly of which paper foreign money is dollars... and we are all aware that Volvo paper is absolutely not money the slightest bit, as it is deficient in the most important features of real money. Typically the question next is can Bitcoin possibly qualify like money... let alone it staying the money into the future, or the ideal money at any time.

To find out, let's take a look at the qualities that define income, and see in the event that Bitcoin matches your speccifications. The three vital attributes of capital are;

1) money is usually a stable keep of value; by far the most essential trait, as not having stability valuable the purpose of numeraire, or model of small measure value, isn't able.

2) funds is the numeraire, the unit connected with account.

3) money is actually a medium with exchange... nevertheless other things could also fulfill this specific function for instance direct dicker, the 'netting out' of products exchanged. Likewise 'trade goods' (chits) which hold value in the short term; and finally change of communal credit; web browser netting the value of pledges fulfilled by means of exchanging charges or IOU's.

Compared to Correios, Bitcoin is not going to do way too badly for a medium regarding exchange. Redbull is only recognized in the geographic domain involving its company. Dollars will not be any good in The european union etc . Bitcoin is acknowledged internationally. In contrast, very few stores currently recognize payment with Bitcoin. Until the endorsement grows geometrically, Fiat is the winner... although within the cost of alternate between international locations.

The first issue is a lot more challenging; money needs to be a stable retail outlet of value... at this point Bitcoins have become from a 'value' of $3. 00 to $1, 000, in just a number of years. This is with regards to as hardly a 'stable store connected with value'; that you can get! In fact, such increases are a best example of a new speculative rate of growth... like Nederlander tulip lamps, or jr . mining firms, or Nortel stocks.

Naturally , Fiat neglects here at the same time; for example , north america . Dollar, the exact 'main' Fusca, has missing over 95% of it is value in some decades... not fiat not Bitcoin get certified in the most important small measure money; the proportions to store valuation and maintain value by time. Actual money, that is Rare metal, has shown a chance to hold cost not just since way back when, but for eons. Neither Volvo nor Bitcoin has this kind of crucial ability... both be unsuccessful as dollars.

Finally, we arrive atwe come the second credit; that of simply being the numeraire. Now this is basically interesting, all of us can see the reason both Bitcoin and Correios fail since money, searching closely for the question on the 'numeraire'. Numeraire refers to the using money to never only retail store value, but for in a sense evaluate, or assess value. Throughout Austrian economics, it is deemed impossible to measure benefit; after all, price resides exclusively in man consciousness... and also the can everything in intelligence actually be assessed? Nevertheless, throughout the principle with Mengerian market place action, that is certainly interaction involving bid and give, market price ranges can be founded... if only for a few seconds... and this rate is listed in terms of the numeraire, the most valuable good, that is definitely money.

Now how do we build the value of Redbull...? Through the thought of 'purchasing power'... that is, the significance of Fiat is dependent upon what it might be traded regarding... a self-provclaimed 'basket regarding goods'. Nevertheless his evidently implies that Fusca has no associated with its own, quite value passes from the associated with the goods in addition to services it can be traded intended for. Causality streams from the merchandise 'bought' on the Fiat selection. After all, what exactly difference exists between a single Dollar monthly bill and a number of Dollar charge, except the telephone number printed upon it... and the getting power of the cell number?

Gold, in contrast, is not scored by what the item trades to get; rather, distinctly, it is tested by yet another physical normal; by their weight, or maybe mass. Some sort of gram involving Gold can be a gram connected with gold, plus an oz. of Platinum is an ounces of Yellow metal... no matter what amount is personalized on it has the surface, 'face value' or. Causality could be the opposite compared to that of Volvo; Gold will be measured by way of weight, a strong intrinsic good quality... not getting power. At this point, have you just about any idea of the significance of an oz . of Cash? No such thing. Correios is only 'measured' by a great ephemeral variety... the number branded on it, the particular 'face value'.

Bitcoin is usually farther faraway from being typically the numeraire; it's not only simply a range, much while Fiat... nevertheless value is definitely measured around Fiat! Whether or not Bitcoin gets to be internationally established as a choice of substitute, and even when it manages to restore the $ as the recognised 'numeraire', it might never have a intrinsic assess like Your old watches has. Rare metal is unique inside being proper by a real, unchanging actual quantity. Platinum is unique throughout storing valuation for thousands of years. Practically nothing else with reach with humanity possesses this unique combined qualities.

To summarize, while Bitcoin has some rewards over Redbull, namely being anonymous and decentralization, it falls flat in its in order to being income. Its merits are also suspect; the objective is to limitation the 'mining' of Bitcoins to 28, 000, 000 units; which can be, the 'mining' algorithm receives harder and harder in order to resolve, then not possible after the 18 million Bitcoins are extracted. Unfortunately, that announcement might be the loss of life knell regarding Bitcoin; actually, some banks have declared that Bitcoins may become your 'reservable' money.

Wow, appears like a major action for Bitcoin, does it never? After all, often the 'big banks' seem to be agreeing to the true associated with the Bitcoin, no? Precisely what this truly means can be banks observe that they could deal Fiat pertaining to Bitcoins... also to actually buy the particular 26 trillion Bitcoins designed would charge a minute 26 Thousand Fiat $. Twenty six thousand Dollars will not be even smaller change to the exact Fiat computer printers; it is of a week's worthy of of producing by the US ALL Fed on your own. And, as soon as the Bitcoins ordered up and also locked in the Fed's 'wallet'... just what exactly useful function could they will serve?

There is no Bitcoins left around circulation; a superb corner. When there are no Bitcoins in flow, how that is known could that they be used as the medium involving exchange? Along with, what is the issuers connected with Bitcoin quite possibly do to reduce the chances of such a circumstances? Change the criteria and improve the 26 thousand to... fladskærm million? For you to 104 , 000, 000? Join the particular Fiat prints parade? Then again, by the range theory of your hard-earned cash, Bitcoin would likely start to reduce value, equally Fiat theoretically loses cost through 'over-printing'...

We come to the real key issue; the key reason why search for a 'new money' if we already have the important money, Yellow metal? Fear of Your old watches confiscation? Deficiency of anonymity from your intrusive govt? Brutal taxation? Fiat capital legal tender rules? All of the earlier mentioned. The answer is certainly not in a new money, in a new public structure, a single without Fusca, without Govt spying, while not drones along with swat squads... without INTEREST RATES, border pads, TSA thugs... on and about. A world with liberty not necessarily tyranny. After this is attained, Gold can resume a ancient in addition to vital purpose as trustworthy money... but not a moment ahead of.

Rudy T. Fritsch came into this world in Hungary in 1947, and fled Socialist tyranny during the Hungarian Revolution regarding 1956. The family possessed lived thru WWII plus the consequent Hungarian hyperinflation, consequently he has affectionate experience using financial break down.

As an electrical engineer and businessman, he happened to run a successful household business canada for decades, in its peak featuring over hundred workers, until eventually economic state of mind destroyed earnings of Us manufacturing. Influenced out of business, he / she decided to analysis economics... to get the cause of the following unhappy scenario.

As well-known economics "The Dismal Science" made zero sense that will him, your dog ended up mastering Austrian economics, the only institution of economics grounded from the realities involving Human Motion. When he found out Professor Tal Fekete's job he arrived at admire them and made a company commitment to help you preserve plus disseminate typically the Professor's musical legacy.

Analysis of legal and employment implications of automated emotion recognition systems - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/analysis-of-legal-and-employment-implications-of-automated-emotion-recognition-systems-technology-org/

Analysis of legal and employment implications of automated emotion recognition systems - Technology Org

Current legal regulations do not offer real protection to employees against companies that use automated emotion recognition systems, which combine biometrics, algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deduce or detect moods or intentions. This is one of the conclusions emerging from the publication of a book by a lecturer at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M).

Facial structure, fingerprints or voiceprints, retina patterns, finger and hand veins or even heartbeats are personal data that, if properly processed, can help detect fatigue, stress, lack of concentration, happiness or sadness. “It could be said that this technology is a modern version of the polygraph or lie detector,” says researcher Ana Belén Muñoz Ruiz, an associate professor in UC3M’s Private Social and International Law Department, who recently published the book “Biometría y sistemas automatizados de reconocimiento de emociones: Implicaciones Jurídicos-Laborales”, in which she analyses the uses of this technology in the workplace and the employment implications for workers.

These systems increase companies’ capacity to analyse and exploit employees’ personal data. “Above all, I am concerned about whether, through this technology, companies could learn about the health data of their workers for non-preventive purposes,” says the researcher. The European Union is currently working on the Artificial Intelligence Act that will introduce limits and guarantees against the use of this technology, which is expected to come into force at the end of 2026. At the same time, other technical standards are being prepared. “However, the approval process is slow and, meanwhile, the current regulations do not offer real protection to employees,” concludes Ana Belén Muñoz Ruiz. These systems can affect a wide range of fundamental rights: the right to personal data protection, privacy, non-discrimination and, above all, the mental health of employees.

Her book analyses some of the first judicial decisions on this issue in Europe. For example, the Hungarian Data Protection Agency’s ruling of 8th February 2022. This specific case involved software that used AI and analysed and evaluated the emotional states of customers and employees of a bank in order to manage complaints, monitor call quality and increase employee efficiency. “This example is just a precedent for new realities in which we will experience new problems arising from the work-related use of algorithms and AI in companies,” says the expert. In the United States and other countries such as China, there have been warnings that some companies are using these practices in the workplace. In the European Union, since July 2022, it has been mandatory to include a fatigue and drowsiness detector in newly registered cars.

Even in the case of emotion recognition systems that do not use biometric data, as in the case of chatbots and RPA (robotic process automation) robots, the use of this technology may even pulverise the fundamental right to privacy when the monitoring takes place in the workplace, according to the expert, as the traditional limits and guarantees linked to the fundamental rights to privacy and personal data protection do not seem to be sufficient.

Are companies entitled to use it? The book analyses this question at two points. Firstly, regarding the biometric data of the employee in line with compliance with the daily obligations of companies, such as time logging (in fact, time logging via fingerprint or other biometric data has been questioned in countries such as Austria, France, Italy or Norway). Secondly, on the legitimisation of companies for the use of automated emotion recognition systems. “After my studies, I conclude that improving customer satisfaction and employee performance or integrating people with disabilities do not seem to be sufficient reasons. While safety at work is a duty that the company must fulfil and can justify the processing of employee data, its extension to automated emotion recognition systems is highly questionable,” concludes Ana Belén Muñoz Ruiz.

10 Ways Artificial Intelligence Could Make Me a Better Doctor

Automation through AI, robotics or 3D-printing will make healthcare more efficient and more sustainable. These new digital technologies will improve healthcare processes resulting in the earlier and more efficient treatment of patients. It will eventually shift the focus in medicine from treatment to prevention. Moreover, medical professionals will get the chance to move from repetitive, monotonous tasks to the challenging, creative assignments.

AI has certainly more revolutionary potential than simply optimizing processes: it can mine medical records or medical images in order to come up with previously unknown implications or signals; design treatment plans for cancer patients or create drugs from existing pills or re-use old drugs for new purposes. But imagine how much time you as a GP would have if the administrative process would be taken care of by an AI-powered system. Your only task would be to concentrate on the patient’s problem! Imagine how much time you as a GP could spare if healthcare chatbots and instant messaging health apps would give answers to simple patient questions, which do not necessarily need the intervention of a medical professional!

She could have been a great doctor!

These were exactly the thoughts in my head when I was watching the movie Her for the second time. I was fascinated again about the scene in which the main character played by Joaquin Phoenix got his new, AI operating system and started working with it. I could not stop thinking about the ways I could use such an AI system in my life and how it actually could make me a better doctor.

Don’t get me wrong, I think empathy and great communication with patients can make a doctor better primarily, but as the amount of medical information out there is exponentially growing; as the time for dealing with patients and information is getting shorter, it is becoming humanly impossible to keep up with everything. If I could devote the time it takes now to deal with technology (inputting information, looking for papers, etc.) to patients, that would be a huge step towards becoming better.

Through the following 10 ways, AI could make me a better doctor.

1) Eradicate waiting time

You would think that waiting time is the exclusive “privilege” of patients and doctors do not have any free moment during their overpacked days. However, suboptimal health care processes not only result in patients sometimes waiting for hours in front of doctors’ offices but also medical professionals losing a lot of time every day waiting for something (a patient, a lab result, etc.). An AI system that makes my schedule as efficient as possible directing me to the next logical task would be a jackpot.

2) Prioritize my emails

The digital tsunami is upon us. Our inboxes are full of unread messages and it is an everyday challenge not to drown into the ocean of new letters. I deal with about 200 e-mails every single day. I try to teach Gmail how to mark an email important or categorize them automatically into social media messages, newsletters, and personal emails, it’s still a challenge. In Her, the AI system prioritized all the 3000 unread emails in a second. Imagine if we could streamline digital communication completely in line with our needs and if we could share and receive information more efficiently and more accurately without too much effort.

According to a recent report in the New Scientist, half a million people have professed their love for Alexa, Amazon’s intelligent personal assistant and more than 250,000 have proposed marriage to it. I have to say, I would probably do the same if it could organize my emails that way. (Also, if Scarlett Johansson were to be the voice of the assistant.)

3) Find me the information I need

I think I have mastered the skill of searching for information online using dozens of Google search operators and different kinds of search engines for different tasks, but it still takes time. What if an AI OS could answer my questions immediately by looking up the answer online?

More and more intelligent personal assistants, such as Siri on iOS or Alexa for Amazon lead us into the future, and there will be soon highly capable, specialized AI-powered chatbots also in the field of healthcare. Bots like HealthTap or Your.Md already aim to help patients find a solution to the most common symptoms through AI. Safedrugbot embodies a chat messaging service that offers assistant-like support to health professionals, doctors who need appropriate information about the use of drugs during breastfeeding.

4) Keep me up-to-date

There is too much information out there. Without an appropriate compass, we are lost in the jungle of data. It is even more important to find the most accurate, relevant and up-to-date information when it comes to such a sensitive area as healthcare. That’s why I started Webicina, which collects the latest news from the best, most reliable sources into one, easily manageable magazine.

On Pubmed, there are 23 million papers. If I could read 3-4 studies of my field of interest per week, I could not finish it in a lifetime and meanwhile millions of new studies would come out. I need an AI to process the pile of information for me and show me the most relevant papers – and we will get there soon. IBM Watson can already process a million pages in seconds. This remarkable speed has led to trying Watson in oncology centers to see how helpful it is in making treatment decisions in cancer care.

5) Work when I don’t

I can fulfill my online tasks (emails, reading papers, searching for information) when I use my PC or laptop, and I can do most of these on my smartphone. When I don’t use any of these, I obviously cannot work. An AI system could work on these when I don’t have any device in hand.

Imagine that you are playing tennis or doing the dishes at home when an important message comes in. With the help of an AI, you could respond to your boss without the need to touch any devices – a toned down version of Joaquin Phoenix’s AI, that arranged the whole publishing process of his book without the need for him to lift a finger.

6) Help me make hard decisions rational

A doctor must face a series of hard decisions every day. The best we can do is to make those decisions as informed as possible. I can ask people whose opinion I value, but basically, that’s it. Unfortunately, you would search the world wide web in vain for certain answers.

But AI-powered algorithms could help in the future. For example, IBM Watson launched its special program for oncologists – and I interviewed one of the professors working with it – which is able to provide clinicians evidence-based treatment options. Watson for Oncology has an advanced ability to analyze the meaning and context of structured and unstructured data in clinical notes and reports that may be critical to selecting a treatment pathway. So, AI is not making the decision per se but offers you the most rational options.

7) Help patients with urgent matters reach me

A doctor has a lot of calls, in-person questions, emails and even messages from social media channels on a daily basis. In this noise of information, not every urgent matter can reach you. What if an AI OS could select the crucial ones out of the mess and direct your attention to it when it’s actually needed.

Moreover, if you look at the patient side, you will see how long is the route from recognizing symptoms at home until reaching out to a specialist. For example, in the Hungarian county of Kaposvár, the average time from the discovery of a cancerous disease until the actual medical consultation about the treatment plan was 54 days. This alarming number has been drastically reduced to 21 days with the help of a special software and by optimizing patient management practices since November 2015. Imagine, though, what earthquake-like changes AI could bring into patient management if the usage of a simpler process management tool and follow-up system could halve the waiting time!

8) Help me improve over time

People, even those who work on becoming better at their job, make the same mistakes over and over again. What if by discussing every challenging task or decision with an AI, I could improve the quality of my job. Just look at the following:

97% of healthcare invoices in the Netherlands are digital containing data regarding the treatment, the doctor, and the hospital. These invoices could be easily retrieved. A local company, Zorgprisma Publiek analyzes the invoices and uses IBM Watson in the cloud to mine the data. They can tell if a doctor, clinic or hospital makes mistakes repetitively in treating a certain type of condition in order to help them improve and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations of patients.

9) Help me collaborate more

Sometimes I’m wondering how many researchers, doctors, nurses or patients are thinking about the same issues in healthcare as I do. At those times, I imagine that I have an AI by my side, which helps me find the most potential collaborators and invite them to work together with me for a better future.

Clinical and research collaborations are crucial to find the best solutions for arising problems, however, more often than not, it is difficult to find the most relevant partners. There are already efforts to change this. For example, in the field of clinical trials, TrialReachtries to bridge the gap between patients and researchers who are developing new drugs. If more patients have a chance to participate in trials, they might become more engaged with potential treatments or even be able to access new treatments before they become FDA approved and freely available.

10) Do administrative work

Quite an essential percentage of an average day of a doctor is spent with administrative stuff. An AI could learn how to do it properly and do it better than me by time. This is the area where AI could impact healthcare the most. Repetitive, monotonous tasks without the slightest need for creativity could and should be done by artificial intelligence. There are already great examples leaning towards this trend.

IBM launched another algorithm called Medical Sieve. It is an ambitious long-term exploratory project to build a next generation “cognitive assistant” with analytical, reasoning capabilities and a wide range of clinical knowledge. Medical Sieve is qualified to assist in clinical decision making in radiology and cardiology.

Many fear that algorithms and artificial intelligence will take the jobs of medical professionals in the future. I highly doubt it. Instead of replacing doctors, AI will augment them and make them better at their jobs. Without the day-to-day treadmill of administrative and repetitive tasks, the medical community could again turn to its most important task with full attention: healing.
