Taking into account the drastic over-use of the term "interactivity" in connection with new media, this anthology is designed to scrutinize the preconceptions that surround the idea of human-computer interaction. German media theories of agency, algorithmic semiotics, interfaciology, mediality, performativity, and transcriptivity are combined with international artistic and technological investigations including interactive audio programming as well as robotic and artificial life art. Several essays give an overview of interactive music and sound performances, which up to now have rarely been

In contemporary global capitalist culture, time-consciousness becomes more important than self-consciousness. In the realm of lived time, the identity of the self opens up to an encounter with otherness. Insights into the ways in which this dynamic unfolds enable one to affirm human temporalities in their potential difference to the temporalities of global capitalism.This book offers an empirical exploration of lived temporalities on markets, in buses and in traditional subsistence in Guatemala, and a theoretical exploration of these through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and inter-relationa
