        Ai Wan’s Daffodil Ball

        by Huang Beijia

        After several years of conception and more than one year of writing, Huang Beijia, a famous children’s literature writer, has recently published her new dedication named 'Ai Wan’s Daffodil Ball' in Jiangsu Children Press. The story is set in China in the early 1980s. At that time, the country was like a sleeping giant who was about to wake up. It was easy for people to get lost in that restless, unstable society. This is the setting for the story of the eight-year-old Aiwan. She grew up quietly with her brothers and sisters in an ordinary family in the small town of Qingyang. The story of Aiwan's upbringing is the same as that of many other girls during that period. Her ordinary life style was peaceful and low-key, just like the daffodil in the conch pot, which would be satisfied even with just a little water, all the while sending out a gentle fragrance. Her philosophy of life was learnt from her own life experience in this family, instead of being taught by others. Hard and restrained as her childhood was, we could still imagine that once she grew up, she would discover the wings to fly out into this wide world, and her wealth of experiences would become her fortune, helping her to create a bright, amazing future.

        Italian graphic design

        Culture and practice in Milan, 1930s-60s

        by Chiara Barbieri

        Italian graphic design offers a new perspective on the subject by exploring the emergence and articulation of graphic design practice, from the interwar period through to the appearance of an international graphic design discourse in the 1960s. The book asks how graphic designers learned their trade and investigates the ways in which they organised and made their practice visible while negotiating their collective identity with neighbouring practices such as typography, advertising and industrial design. Attention is drawn to everyday design practice, educational issues, mediating channels, networks, design exchange, organisational strategies and discourses on modernism. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources and placing an emphasis on visual analysis, this book provides a model for a contextualised graphic design history as an integral part of the history of design and visual culture.

        Lazy!

        On the benefits of doing nothing

        by Bernd Imgrund

        — Against the mantra of always having to be doing something — A compact cultural history of laziness — Anecdotes and aphorisms In a world that is characterised by the idea of achievement, laziness is considered a mortal sin. This has a long tradition. "If anyone will not work, let him not eat," wrote Paul the Apostle. So laziness, we are led to believe, is considered punishable by death in the Bible. But there is more to laziness than the mortal sin of inertia. It also includes idleness and contemplation, which no one finds reprehensible. Laziness can even be sexy. Its most charming variant is nonchalance: nothing upsets me; I take things as they come. A very readable essay about the need for idleness in our stressful times.

        Postartifizielle Literatur

        Lesen im Zeitalter künstlicher Intelligenz

        by Hannes Bajohr

        Mit Programmen wie ChatGPT hat künstliche Intelligenz ein solches Niveau erreicht, dass es kaum noch möglich ist, zu erkennen, ob ein Text von einem Computer stammt oder von einem Menschen. Können Sie zum Beispiel mit Bestimmtheit ausschließen, dass diese Zeilen von einem Algorithmus verfasst wurden? Für die Rezeption von Geschriebenem bedeutet das eine Zeitenwende. Wenn wir stets unterstellen müssen, dass hinter einem Text KI steckt, ergibt die Unterscheidung natürlich/artifiziell keinen Sinn mehr – eine postartifizielle Ära bricht an. Hannes Bajohr erörtert, wie sich diese Verschiebung auf Zeitungsartikel oder wissenschaftliche Publikationen auswirkt und wie sie das literarische Lesen und Schreiben verändert.

        Die Kunst der Zukunft

        Über den Traum von der kreativen Maschine

        by Hanno Rauterberg

        Computer erobern die Kunst: Sie malen wie Rembrandt, komponieren wie Bach, sie schreiben Romane und Gedichte. Geht es nach den Digitalkonzernen, ist das erst der Anfang. Künstliche Kreativität heißt das neue Leitziel: Aus Maschinen sollen Künstler werden, so selbstbestimmt und geistvoll wie der Mensch.Hanno Rauterberg schildert in seinem Essay, mit welchem Nachdruck diese Kunst der Zukunft entwickelt wird. Und er fragt nach den Konsequenzen des bevorstehenden Epochenwandels: Wie wird sich das Selbstbild des Menschen verändern? Und was sagt es über eine Gesellschaft aus, wenn sie von Computern nicht nur Logik erwartet, sondern auch Metaphysik, Wahrheit und Transzendenz? Wird der Algorithmus zum neuen Schöpfergott – und Politik damit überflüssig?

        Altruizin und andere kybernetische Beglückungen

        Der Kyberiade zweiter Teil | Vom großen Vordenker und Kritiker der Künstlichen Intelligenz

        by Daniel Mróz, Jens Reuter, Stanisław Lem

        Um verschiedene Formen von Beglückung, ja um nichts weniger als um die Konstruktion des Glücks geht es in diesen drei langen Erzählungen vornehmlich. König Genius, oft von Melancholie und Selbstabscheu geplagt, vermag nur noch in ungewöhnlichen Geschichten Trost zu finden. Darum bestellt er sich beim großen Konstrukteur Trurl gleich drei Erzählmaschinen, die ihm die Zeit vertreiben helfen sollen. In »Altruizin« und »Experimenta Felicitologica« soll die Welt auf kybernetischem Wege erlöst werden. Für die Weltverbesserung gibt es im Prinzip zwei Richtungen, die schlagartige, revolutionäre und die stufenweise, evolutionäre. Was bei dem löblichen Unterfangen der Weltverbesserung alles schiefgehen kann, beschreibt Lem in einem Feuerwerk von brillanten Einfällen, und je edler die Absicht, desto miserabler ist das Ergebnis.
