Prof. Hans-Jörg Rheinberger was director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin from 1997 to 2014. Rheinberger’s primary field of activity within the history of science is the epistemological exploration of the experiment and of the research practices of the natural sciences with focus on the biology of the 19th and 20th century. In his studies he describes “experimental systems” to be the driving forces within the development of the modern natural sciences. Additionally, he writes and publicizes essays and poems.<br />
His latest book, 'Split and Splice: A Phenomenology of Experimentation' (University of Chicago Press, 2023) provides an innovative look at the experimental protocols and connections that have made the life sciences so productive, and brings into English what has already been a critical hit in the German speaking academia.<br />

She is also Principal Investigator of the ERC project Machine Vision in Everyday Life: Playful Interactions with Visual Technologies in Digital Art, Games, Narratives and Social Media (2018-2024).

<br />
James E. Dobson, assistant professor at Dartmouth College, is a literary and cultural critic who specializes in intellectual history and U.S. autobiographical writing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He uses a number of approaches--theoretical, historical, formalist, and computational (sometimes called "digital humanities" or "cultural analytics")--to answer persistent intellectual problems. He is thus also interested in the critical analysis of twentieth-century and contemporary computation methods including machine learning, computer vision, and various approaches to text and data mining. The Birth of Computer Vision (University of Minnesota Press, 2023), his third monograph, is a genealogy of computer vision and machine learning. It traces the development of a series of important computer-vision algorithms, uncovering the ideas, worrisome military origins, and lingering goals reproduced within the code and the products based on it, and examines how these became linked to one another and repurposed for domestic and commercial uses.<br />

Lisa Messeri is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Director of Graduate Studies at Yale University. Her anthropological research focuses on the norms, aspirations, and consequences of work done by expert communities as they forge new fields of knowledge and invention. Her first book, Placing Outer Space: An Earthly Ethnography of Other Worlds(Duke University Press), considers how “planet” is not only a cosmic concept, but also a humanistic one. Her new book, discussed here, In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual Reality, Los Angeles, and Fantasies of Technology Otherwise(Duke University Press), seeks to understand how the recent resurgence of virtual reality hinged on a belief that the technology could repair rifts in reality.<br />Through reading, teaching, and writing, she endeavors to link conversations in sociocultural anthropology with other fields of inquiry, including science and technology studies, media studies, cultural geography, environmental humanities, and history of science and technology. Her research has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Wired, The Atlantic, Slate, CNN, PBS, and more.<br />

Jim Malazita (Ph.D. Drexel University) is Associate Professor of Science & Technology Studies and the Associate Director of the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He studies the co-production of technological and social elements of games and creative software, with a particular focus on game engines, gender, and race. His current work examines the role of game companies and game engines in shaping the infrastructural and legal standards of the future web. <br />His new book, discussed here, Enacting Platforms: Feminist Technoscience and the Unreal Engine was released by the MIT Press in July 2024. This first scholarly book on the Unreal game engine explores one of the major contemporary game development platforms through feminist, race, and queer theories of technology and media, revealing how Unreal produces, and is produced by, broader intersections of power. Malazita’s writing has been featured in a wide variety of academic venues, including in Digital Creativity, Design Issues, Digital Humanities Quarterly, Debates in the Digital Humanities, and Feminism in Play. His research and teaching have been supported by the NEH Office of Digital Humanities, the NEH Division of Educational Programs, the Popular Culture Association, The New Jersey Historical Commission, Red Hat Inc., and Rensselaer’s Teaching and Learning Collaboratory.

Through the conceptual vocabulary of the circuit, The Prison House of the Circuit presents a history of digital media as well as a provocative model for thinking about governance and media. The authors ultimately demonstrate how contemporary media came to be mechanisms that create frictionless circulation to maximize control, efficacy, and state power.

Digital Energetics argues that media and energy require joint theorization—not only in their potential to universalize but also in the many contingent and intermeshed relations that they bind together across contemporary informational and fossil regimes. The coauthors analyze how data and energy have jointly modulated the character of the materiality and labor of digital systems in a warming world.

His attention to cultural factors in technical systems also figured in his work as a curator, notably for the Anthropocene and Technosphere projects at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
