Algorithms : Technology, Culture, Politics
Algorithms: Technology, Culture, Politics develops a relational, situated approach to algorithms.It takes a middle ground between theories that give the algorithm a singular and stable meaning in using it as a central analytic category for contemporary society and theories that dissolve the term into the details of empirical studies. The book discusses algorithms in relation to hardware and material conditions, code, data, and subjects such as users, programmers, but also “data doubles”.The individual chapters bridge critical discussions on bias, exclusion, or responsibility with the necessary detail on the contemporary state of information technology.The examples include state-of-the-art applications of machine learning, such as self-driving cars, and large language models such as GPT. The book will be of interest for everyone engaging critically with algorithms, particularly in the social sciences, media studies, STS, political theory, or philosophy.With its broad scope it can serve as a high-level introduction that picks up and builds on more than two decades of critical research on algorithms.

The Quantum Revolution : Art, Technology, Culture
We are currently riders of the information storm. AI fascinates us, images mesmerize us, data defines us, algorithms remember us, news bombards us, devices connect us, isolation saddens us.Deeply embedded in digital technology, we are the very first inhabitants of life in the quantum zone.The Quantum Revolution is about life today – its entanglements, creativity, politics, and artistic vision. Arthur Kroker and David Cook explore a new way of thinking drawn directly from the quantum imaginary itself.They explain the quantum revolution as everyday life, where technology moves fast, and where, under cover of the digital devices that connect us, the most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originating in mathematics, astrophysics, and biogenetics have swiftly flooded human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual identity.The book discusses the concept of the quantum zone as a new way of understanding digital culture, and presents stories about art, technology, and society, as well as a series of reflections on art as a gateway to understanding the quantum imaginary.Richly illustrated with sixty images of critically engaged photos and artwork, The Quantum Revolution privileges a new way of understanding and seeing politics, society, and culture through the lens of the duality that is the essence of the quantum imaginary.

How does the process of cell culture technology proceed?
Cell culture technology involves the growth and maintenance of cells outside of their natural environment, typically in a laboratory setting. The process begins with the selection of the appropriate cell type and the preparation of a suitable growth medium. The cells are then isolated from their natural environment and placed in a sterile culture vessel, where they are provided with the necessary nutrients and conditions for growth. The culture is regularly monitored and maintained to ensure the cells remain healthy and continue to proliferate. This technology is widely used in research, drug development, and biotechnology for studying cell behavior, producing biological products, and testing potential therapies.

Which culture is the best culture in the world?
It is not appropriate to label any one culture as the "best" in the world as every culture has its own unique strengths and values.

Why is Turkish culture often confused with Arab culture?
Turkish culture is often confused with Arab culture due to several factors. Firstly, both cultures are located in the Middle East and share some similarities in language, religion, and traditional customs. Additionally, there is a historical connection between the two regions through the Ottoman Empire, which had a significant influence on Arab countries. Furthermore, the media and popular culture often portray a homogenized view of the Middle East, leading to misconceptions and generalizations about the diverse cultures within the region. However, it is important to recognize and appreciate the distinct differences and unique aspects of Turkish and Arab cultures.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.
