This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Widener developed a passion for calendars, numbers and numerology, historical data, population statistics, and mathematical calculations early on. In his clearly structured drawings he combines actual historical events with his own computations, analyzing both world affairs and his own biography, and developing specific codes for super-intelligent computers of the future. Influenced by the theories of Ray Kurzweil, a leading scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, Widener is convinced that in 2045 high-performance computers will fuse with the human brain and transform consciousness into software. For George Widener numbers and data are not only intellectually reflected patterns but part of his inner struc-ture, the fundamental system of his perception of the world. Widener is a savant with Asperger syndrome, someone with an extraordinary insular ingenuity that was diagnosed rather late in life. 0Exhibition: Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany (25.01.-16.06.2013).

This book was released on 2021-04-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As authors and publishers, individuals and collectives, women significantly shaped the modernist movement. While figures such as Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein have received acclaim, authors from marginalized communities and those who wrote for mass, middlebrow audiences also created experimental and groundbreaking work. The essays in this volume explore formal aspects and thematic concerns of modernism while also challenging rigid notions of what constitutes literary value as well as the idea of a canon with fixed boundaries. The essays contextualize modernist women's writing in the material and political concerns of the early twentieth century and in life on the home front during wartime. They consider the original print contexts of the works and propose fresh digital approaches for courses ranging from high school through graduate school. Suggested assignments provide opportunities for students to write creatively and critically, recover forgotten literary works, and engage with their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From postwar efforts to end discrimination in the motion-picture industry, recording studios, and musicians’ unions, through the development of community-based arts organizations, to the creation of searing films critiquing conditions in the black working class neighborhoods of a city touting its multiculturalism—Black Arts West documents the social and political significance of African American arts activity in Los Angeles between the Second World War and the riots of 1992. Focusing on the lives and work of black writers, visual artists, musicians, and filmmakers, Daniel Widener tells how black cultural politics changed over time, and how altered political realities generated new forms of artistic and cultural expression. His narrative is filled with figures invested in the politics of black art and culture in postwar Los Angeles, including not only African American artists but also black nationalists, affluent liberal whites, elected officials, and federal bureaucrats. Along with the politicization of black culture, Widener explores the rise of a distinctive regional Black Arts Movement. Originating in the efforts of wartime cultural activists, the movement was rooted in the black working class and characterized by struggles for artistic autonomy and improved living and working conditions for local black artists. As new ideas concerning art, racial identity, and the institutional position of African American artists emerged, dozens of new collectives appeared, from the Watts Writers Workshop, to the Inner City Cultural Center, to the New Art Jazz Ensemble. Spread across generations of artists, the Black Arts Movement in Southern California was more than the artistic affiliate of the local civil-rights or black-power efforts: it was a social movement itself. Illuminating the fundamental connections between expressive culture and political struggle, Black Arts West is a major contribution to the histories of Los Angeles, black radicalism, and avant-garde art.

Book excerpt: Scientists have a depressing penchant for doing the possible rather than the rational, leaving mankind with a continuing dilemma. What happens when technology slips its leash - when Frankenstein's monster climbs from his gurney and stalks the countryside? N.U.K.E.E. explores this notion. Nuclear power plants are catastrophes waiting to happpen. Such an accident is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when. In N.U.K.E.E., a big reactor in Southern California undergoes a core melt when damaged by a quake. It is the largest disaster in U.S. history - with the possible exception of when Congress convenes. In a panic, Washington shuts down all nukes but hedges its bet by cranking up N.U.K.E.E. (Nuclear Universal Keystone of Enormous Energy), a gigantic experimental reactor - the first breeder-feeder. The plant breeds more plutonium (fuel) than it consumes, and dines on the surplus to grow ever more powerful. An impish genius programs N.U.K.E.E.'s two huge computers (Annie and Digby) with characteristics of a ten-dollar hooker and a Mafia hit man instead of Madame Curie and Einstein as called for in the specs. N.U.K.E.E. takes over, goes on a power binge and threatens to destroy the world unless global energy use stays ahead of the plant's mammoth and expanding output.
