Martin E. Rosenbergmer19@psu.edu |
Martin E. Rosenberg, an independent scholar, specializes in the cultural implications of science and technology. He has focused mainly on the history of "emergence" in science, philosophy and the arts: Poincare, Bergson and Duchamp; Pound, and the epistemological foundations of fascism in reversible models of time; the novels of Thomas Pynchon, the nobel work of Ilya Prigogine in chemistry and physics, as well as the cognitive science of Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela and Edwin Hutchins, and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. He has authored numerous articles on Deleuze. His current research involves the relationship between theories of emergence in cognitive science, and the possible link between embodied and distributed cognition, through research on parallel processing with computers, jazz improvisation, cinema and the architecture of Arakawa and Gins. As a theorist, he has written on the relationship of metaphors (tropes generally) and epistemology, and the cultural work or agency of metaphors in trans-disciplinary inquiry. He has had a sideline in theories of hypermedia design, especially the role of metaphors in the design and implementation of information systems. He has written on physics and hypertext, on the role of complexity theory in the design of icon-driven interfaces, and on the modelling of the problematics of transdisciplinary inquiry in hypermedia. He is the co-creator of _The RHIZOME Project_ 1989-92 (with Thomas I. Ellis); _Chess RHIZOME_ 1998-9; and the Multi-object Oriented, Multi-User Domain classroom space MER's Fungal Palace at the Media Lab at MIT (1996-8). Several of his essays on hypermedia have been translated--into Spanish (Physics and Hypertext: Liberation and Complicity in Art and Pedagogy" 1994; 1997) and Portuguese: "Chess RHIZOME and Phase Space: Mapping Metaphor Theory Onto Hypertext Theory" 1999; 2002). He was originally trained in classical composition and jazz arranging and performance, has authored over thirty jazz compositions, and has recently committed to practicing until he's able to play and record again! |

Russell Hughes is a PhD Candidate and Sessional Lecturer in the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT University. His research on Arakawa and Gins began in 2005 when he presented at the 1st International Arakawa and Gins conference at The University of Paris X Nanterre. Building on the themes of this presentation, Russell’s PhD thesis titled Ageing Biology, Immortalist Biopolicy and Emergent Biotechnology in a Diminishing Biosphere: The Ageing of Aquarius, Armageddon and Arakawa and Gins, seeks to understand how the Reversible Destiny hypothesis can be applied to the contemporary biopolitical context both to sustain human beings themselves, and to reverse the entropic and terminal trajectories of the species. |
