    Incomputable Earth : Technology and the Anthropocene Hypothesis

    Looking afresh at the Anthropocene, this open access volume investigates how the capitalist engineering of the earth is not only accelerating, but is doing so in parallel with the expansion of digital technological systems, including so-called ‘artificial intelligence’. Against the backdrop of new regimes of data positivism, algorithmic classification and prediction, and even the emergence of unexpected forms of collective intelligence, Incomputable Earth addresses the crucial need to rethink the meaning and inter-relationality of such terms as ‘extraction’, ‘computation’, and ‘planetarity’.Beyond the theory, it also asks what cognitive and political capacities we need to grapple with the implications of this parallel intensification of datafication and the Anthropocene.Examining new forms of subjectivity and resistance, this timely volume tackles a range of urgent topics, from the racialized politics of climate change to feminist ecologies and planetary financialization. In an original, hybrid format that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of these debates, Incomputable Earth is made up of scholarly essays, striking artistic contributions, and a glossary of emerging concepts in the humanities.Bringing together international scholars, artists, grassroots collectives, and environmental organisations, this is a vital intervention into the past, present, and future of computation and its inescapable impact upon our social, political, and planetary life. This book emerges from the artistic research project “The Incomputable—Art in the Age of Algorithms,” instigated at the Institute for Contemporary Art, Graz University of Technology, and funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport, and the Styrian Provincial Government Department of Economy, Tourism, Science and Research. This book is available open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.It is funded by The Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

  • The Biophilia Hypothesis
    The Biophilia Hypothesis

    "Biophilia" is the term coined by Edward O. Wilson, author of The Diversity of Life and winner of two Pulitzer prizes, to describe what he believes is our innate affinity for the natural world.In his landmark book Biophilia, he examined how our tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes might be a biologically based need, integral to our development as individuals and as a species.The idea has caught the imagination of diverse thinkers.The Biophilia Hypothesis brings together the views of some of the most creative scientists of our time, each attempting to amplify and refine the concept of biophilia.The various perspectives - psychological, biological, cultural, symbolic, and aesthetic - frame the theoretical issues by presenting empirical evidence that supports or refutes the hypothesis.Numerous examples illustrate the idea that biophilia and its converse, biophobia, have a genetic component: people develop fear and even full-blown phobias of snakes and spiders with very little negative reinforcement, while more threatening modern artifacts - knives, guns, automobiles - rarely elicit such a response; people would rather look at water, green vegetation, or flowers than built structures of glass and concrete; and the development of language, myth, and thought appears to be greatly dependent on the use of natural symbols, particularly animals.The biophilia hypothesis, if substantiated, provides a powerful argument for the conservation of biological diversity.More important, it implies serious consequences for our well-being as society becomes further estranged from the natural world.Relentless environmental destruction could have a significant impact on our quality of life,not just materially but psychologically and even spiritually.

  • The Cybernetic Hypothesis
    The Cybernetic Hypothesis

    An early text from Tiqqun that views cybernetics as a fable of late capitalism, and offers tools for the resistance. The cybernetician's mission is to combat the general entropy that threatens living beings, machines, societies-that is, to create the experimental conditions for a continuous revitalization, to constantly restore the integrity of the whole. -from The Cybernetic HypothesisThis early Tiqqun text has lost none of its pertinence.The Cybernetic Hypothesis presents a genealogy of our "technical" present that doesn't point out the political and ethical dilemmas embedded in it as if they were puzzles to be solved, but rather unmasks an enemy force to be engaged and defeated.Cybernetics in this context is the tekne of threat reduction, which unfortunately has required the reduction of a disturbing humanity to packets of manageable information.Not so easily done. Not smooth. A matter of civil war, in fact. According to the authors, cybernetics is the latest master fable, welcomed at a certain crisis juncture in late capitalism. And now the interesting question is: Has the guest in the house become the master of the house?The "cybernetic hypothesis" is strategic.Readers of this little book are not likely to be naive.They may be already looking, at least in their heads, for a weapon, for a counter-strategy.Tiqqun here imagines an unbearable disturbance to a System that can take only so much: only so much desertion, only so much destituent gesture, only so much guerilla attack, only so much wickedness and joy.

  • 'In a hypothesis of association, which hypothesis test is used?'

    In a hypothesis of association, the chi-square test is commonly used to determine if there is a significant association between two categorical variables. This test compares the observed frequencies of the data with the expected frequencies under the null hypothesis of no association. If the chi-square test results in a p-value that is less than the chosen significance level, then we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant association between the two variables.

  • Why is the Out-of-Africa hypothesis more likely than the Multiregional hypothesis?

    The Out-of-Africa hypothesis is more likely than the Multiregional hypothesis because genetic and fossil evidence suggests that modern humans originated in Africa and then migrated to other parts of the world, replacing existing populations. This is supported by the higher genetic diversity found in African populations compared to non-African populations. Additionally, archaeological evidence shows a more recent and rapid dispersal of modern humans from Africa to other regions, which aligns with the Out-of-Africa model. In contrast, the Multiregional hypothesis suggests that modern humans evolved simultaneously in different regions, which is not supported by the genetic and fossil record.

  • What goes into the null hypothesis and what goes into the alternative hypothesis?

    The null hypothesis typically states that there is no effect or no difference between groups, while the alternative hypothesis states that there is an effect or a difference. In other words, the null hypothesis assumes that any observed differences are due to chance, while the alternative hypothesis suggests that the differences are real and not due to chance. The null hypothesis is what the researcher aims to disprove, while the alternative hypothesis is what the researcher aims to support with evidence.

  • How do you formulate a null and alternative hypothesis for a hypothesis test?

    To formulate a null and alternative hypothesis for a hypothesis test, you first need to identify the question or claim you want to test. The null hypothesis (H0) is a statement of no effect or no difference, while the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is a statement of the effect or difference you are trying to find evidence for. The null hypothesis typically states that there is no relationship or no difference between groups, while the alternative hypothesis states that there is a relationship or difference. It is important to carefully consider the wording and directionality of the hypotheses to ensure they accurately reflect the research question and can be tested using appropriate statistical methods.

  • What is a comprehension hypothesis?

    The comprehension hypothesis is a theory in second language acquisition that suggests that language learners acquire language skills through understanding input that is slightly above their current level of proficiency. This means that learners can improve their language skills by being exposed to language that is comprehensible but still challenging. The hypothesis emphasizes the importance of meaningful and understandable input in the language learning process, and it has implications for language teaching and materials development.

  • What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

    The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture in mathematics that deals with the distribution of prime numbers. It was proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859 and states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have a real part of 1/2. The hypothesis is considered one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics and has implications for number theory and cryptography. Many mathematicians have tried to prove or disprove the Riemann Hypothesis, but it remains unproven to this day.

  • What is an interpretation hypothesis?

    An interpretation hypothesis is a proposed explanation or understanding of a particular phenomenon or set of data. It is a hypothesis that seeks to provide a coherent and logical interpretation of the observed facts or evidence. This type of hypothesis is often used in scientific research to help make sense of complex data or observations. It serves as a starting point for further investigation and testing to determine its validity.

  • Can a hypothesis be confirmed?

    A hypothesis can never be definitively confirmed, only supported or rejected based on the evidence collected during an experiment or study. Even if the results of an experiment support a hypothesis, there is always a possibility that future research could provide new evidence that contradicts it. Therefore, scientists typically use the term "supported" rather than "confirmed" when discussing the relationship between a hypothesis and the evidence.
