Podcasts about Technoculture

En écho à la Journée internationale des droits des femmes, L'atelier des médias reçoit la journaliste Mathilde Saliou, spécialisée dans les enjeux sociétaux du numérique. Avec l'accélération du développement des intelligences artificielles génératives, elle livre son analyse sur la place des femmes et des minorités dans la génération de contenus par les IA. En mars 2023, Mathilde Saliou était venue présenter son livre Technoféminisme dans L'atelier des médias. Elle expliquait comment le numérique aggrave les inégalités. Cétait il y a deux ans : le grand public n'avait alors pour ainsi dire jamais entendu parler d'intelligences artificielles génératives ; les bots conversationnels boostés à l'IA comme ChatGPT n'avaient pas encore déferlé sur le monde.De retour à notre micro en 2025, Mathilde Saliou explique : « L'intelligence artificielle a été mise dans les mains de tout le monde pour des usages assez spécifiques de production de textes, d'images, etc. Et très vite, on s'est rendu compte que ces productions de contenus reproduisaient toutes sortes de biais qu'on connaissait qui existaient ailleurs dans la société, mais de manière très forte et pas forcément très conscientisée par les constructeurs puisque au moment où ils ont lancé des ChatGPT et Stable Diffusion, ils n'ont pas tellement mis de garde-fous pour éviter ça. »Ses premiers constats furent sans appel : « Assez vite, si on demandait par exemple à des modèles de génération d'images de fabriquer des images de PDG d'entreprise, ça allait être que des hommes, que des Blancs. Si on demandait de produire des images de personnel de ménage, ça n'allait être que femmes, que des Noirs. Et en fait ces clichés qui existent dans le monde occidental étaient produits en masse [...] Et donc assez vite, toutes les personnes spécialisées dans ces thématiques ont souligné le problème et demandé des améliorations. Cela a ensuite provoqué toutes sortes de débats parce que certains considèrent que demander une représentation plus proche de la réalité du monde, ça peut être une forme de censure pour des technologies de ce type. »Quelques liens : - L'extractivisme technologique, nouvelle force néocoloniale ?

Technoculture podcast explores how digital technology influences our lives, our experiences, and ultimately what it means to be human today. Now, if we agree that the social and technological environment influences or shapes who we are and how we interact with each other, what will it mean to be human in the metaverse? My guest Sam Vaknin has a very interesting theory about the transition from narcissistic cities to a psychopathic metaverse. Sam Vaknin is the author of "Malignant Self Love, Narcissism Revisited", a former visiting professor of psychology, and currently on the faculty of CIAPS (Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies).

Laila Shereen Sakr's book Arabic Glitch: Technoculture, Data Bodies, and Archives (Stanford UP, 2023) explores an alternative origin story of twenty-first century technological innovation in digital politics—one centered on the Middle East and the 2011 Arab uprisings. Developed from an archive of social media data collected over the decades following the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, this book interrogates how the logic of programming technology influences and shapes social movements. Engaging revolutionary politics, Arab media, and digital practice in form, method, and content, Laila Shereen Sakr formulates a media theory that advances the concept of the glitch as a disruptive media affordance. She employs data analytics to analyze tweets, posts, and blogs to describe the political culture of social media, and performs the results under the guise of the Arabic-speaking cyborg VJ Um Amel. Playing with multiple voices that span across the virtual and the real, Sakr argues that there is no longer a divide between the virtual and embodied: both bodies and data are physically, socially, and energetically actual. Are we cyborgs or citizens—or both? This book teaches us how a region under transformation became a vanguard for new thinking about digital systems: the records they keep, the lives they impact, and how to create change from within. Laila Shereen Sakr is Assistant Professor of Media Theory and Practice at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Tugrul Mende holds an M.A in Arabic Studies. He is based in Berlin as a project coordinator and independent researcher. Learn more about your ad choices.

Branden Collins, founder of the design studio The Young Never Sleep, is a deep thinker. I had such a blast during our conversation about the complex and thought-provoking world of tech, creativity, and the endless possibilities they hold. As an interdisciplinary designer, Branden has worked at Cartoon Network and Snap, but he's also been heads down in the Atlanta creative community as well, which he's just returning to after a stint in Los Angeles.We talked about the ever-evolving landscape of social media, including the rise of microblogging platforms (as a response to Twitter's X-ification), the cautiousness in navigating the digital realm, and some potential ethical issues surrounding AI and VR. Branden also shared his philosophy of technoculture, and we explored world building, information science, issues sex workers face in online platforms, and the parallels between past technological shifts and the emergence of the metaverse.This episode will definitely make you think twice about the tech we build, how we use it, and how it affects our world!LinksThe Young Never SleepThe Young Never Sleep on InstagramFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

Add to that, sleeping in strangers cars and parking lots,  losing her voice in Egypt, plus other raw adventures. Federica is a very cool lady whose adventurous spirit will make you shake your head and smile.Admittedly, she has done a few risque things that would not be considerations for the vast majority of the people on planet earth, but in all due respect she has gained a boatload of decent memories from her travels and learnt much along the way.She has published numerous international scientific journals and performed research  in various subject matters, including digital philology,  multisensory installations,  multimedia heritage,  and digital humanities to name a few.Check out her podcast, Technoculture.  I wish I had though of that name years ago .Down to earth, friendly, honest, and charming, I would have loved to chat more over a glass of Peroni or Prosecco. Enjoy.You can find more about Federica here:http://research.federicabressan.com/http://federicabressan.com/http://podcast.federicabressan.com/

Long before the First "Horseman" Microsoft came along and set the stage for toxic Technoculture in America and the rest of the World; IBM helped contribute meaningfully to the Holocaust by allowing the German government in WWII to identify, catalog and kill millions and millions of people based on their religion, culture or sexual orientation.  This was entirely preventable, but IBM looked the other way and has since still defended themselves.  As of now, IBM has suffered no meaningful consequences for their crime.

This recording is a Q&A with André Brock following his presentation of Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures.In Distributed Blackness, Brock asks where Blackness manifests in the ideology of Western technoculture. Using critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock, 2018), Afro-optimism, and libidinal economic theory, this talk employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.Technoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein, 2006) and ideology; a belief system powering the coercive, political, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved, historically disenfranchised, never deemed literate, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS) reorients Western technoculture's practices of “race-as- technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things.” Hence, Black technoculture.

Bonus content for episode #35 with Bibhushan Shakya. I challenged Bibhushan to explain some complex concepts of physics in simple terms. The first concept is supersimmetry (at minute 00:53); the second is the cutest expression I've ever heard in physics: "a baby universe in a black hole" (well, the baby part is cute at least - at minute 6:47); and the third is "space can travel faster than light" and even more precisely: "there is nothing in our equations that prevents space from traveling faster than light" (at minute 10:18).

When we ask questions about ourselves, our place in the universe... we are also asking questions about the universe: we are part of it and made of the same stuff. Conversely, to investigate the nature of the universe means also to ask questions about ourselves. That's why I went to CERN to talk to a particle physicist about life, research, and everything.

Technoculture inaugurates its second season with an episode that might seem outside the scope of the podcast. Why travel back in time? What do the Vikings have to do with Technoculture? Well, think about it this way: we are the Vikings of the people that will live on earth in a 1000 years. Technoculture is interested in this topic because Heidi's approach starts from the assumption that adopting a technology, wearing a technology, changes the way you perceive the world around you.

In our first episode of Kind Of Young Sort Of Professional, cohosts Sophia Lemon and Benjamin Edward tell the story of how we met! It all began in 2007 when we met at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, at the photography program studio. We can't remember exactly how we connected, but Ben arrived at the studio to be Sophia's model, and we've been friends ever since! (And Ben has been Sophia's model many times over.) At the time, Sophia was studying photography and Ben was studying graphic design. And over the years we worked together not only as photographer and model, but photographer and telepathic-creative-director. We created a company called GingerWorks, and photographed models and artists of all kinds through college and university. Sophia graduated from Fanshawe College in 2009 and went on to study Media, Information, and Technoculture at the University of Western Ontario, while ben graduated in 2012 and landed a sweet graphic design job in London. Ultimately Ben left London to pursue graphic design in the big city of Toronto in 2011, and Sophia moved home to the Owen Sound area after graduating in 2012. What's next? You'll have to listen to episode 2! Show links Find Sophia at @ridiculouslyhappyppl / sophialemon.com Find Benjamin at @benjamin_edward / benjaminedward.ca Find KYSP at @kindofsortofpro
