The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities

By: Kathrin Maurer

A comprehensive overview of how civilian drones sense the world and how they build the aesthetic imaginaries of our communities. Drone technology has garnered critical attention across many fields, from engineering to the humanities. While the first wave of drone scholarship was key in initiating the debate on drones, it also privileged the idea of the “scopic regime”—a militarized regime of hypervisuality—in its analyses of the connection between vision and power. The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities broadens the drone’s spectrum of perception by acknowledging its creative, life-affirming possibility with the notion of the sensorium. The sensorium of the drone is a multimedia, synesthetic sensing assemblage in which the human agent is enmeshed with the drone. Drone sensoria can sense in many more ways than the scopic regime—with sound, touch, smell, temperature, and movement. In The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities, Kathrin Maurer shows how drone sensoria can change our understanding of human communities by constructing imaginaries of social communities based on decentralized and fluid sensing processes. Maurer takes an aesthetic approach to technology, working with two understandings of aesthetics. One understanding refers to aesthetics as a way of experiencing, and it explores how the drone-human assemblage perceives the world. The other refers to aesthetic mimetic representation, and focuses on how aesthetic drone imaginaries in literature, popular culture, visual arts, and films negotiate the sensorial technology of the drone. Bringing together key ideas in technology studies, studies of aerial views, visual and aesthetic studies, posthuman sensing, machine–human interaction, and communities, The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities sheds a welcome and necessary light on this technology’s creative potential as well as its dangers and risks.

Game of Drones

Von unbemannten Flugobjekten / Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

By: Jürgen Bleibler,Claudia Emmert,Goetz Herrmann,Maximilian Jablonowski,Francisco Klauser,Kathrin Maurer,Ina Neddermeyer,Marcela Suarez Estrada,Jutta Weber

Drohnen sind unbemannte Flugobjekte, deren Größen so unterschiedlich sind wie ihr Aussehen und ihre Nutzung. Eingesetzt werden sie für unterschiedlichste zivile Zwecke: u.a. um schwer zugängliche Gebiete zu erreichen, zur Kontrolle von Grenzen, Überwachung, Datensammlung sowie in der Landwirtschaft und im Dienstleistungssektor. Sie liefern Künstler*innen, Fotograf*innen und Filmemacher*innen eindrucksvolle Aufnahmen und haben die Bildästhetik der Gegenwart revolutioniert. Drohnen gelten aber auch als die wichtigste Kriegstechnologie seit der Erfindung der Atombombe. Gegenwärtig sind Drohnen noch keine autonom operierenden Systeme, in Kombination mit Künstlicher Intelligenz können sie aber zu unheimlichen Waffen werden. Dieser Ausbau zu lernenden und autonom agierenden Maschinen wirft auch ethische Fragen auf. Die Publikation führt die Inhalte der Ausstellung Game of Drones. Von unbemannten Flugobjekten und einer Fachtagung im Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen zusammen, die verschiedene Aspekte historischer, aktueller und zukünftiger Drohnentechnologien in vertiefter Form analysieren. Verhandelt wurden gesellschaftlich relevante Fragestellungen anhand technikhistorischer Exponate und ausgewählter Werke internationaler Künstler*innen, die Drohnentechnologien auf unterschiedlichste Weise kritisch reflektieren. Heutige Drohnen sind Weiterentwicklungen von unbemannten Ballonen, Fernlenkwaffen und Modellflugzeugen. Ausgehend von dieser historischen Verortung beschäftigt sich die Publikation mit dem Einsatz von Drohnen und ihrer hybriden Funktion als Spielzeug, Kriegstechnologie und Wirtschaftsfaktor. Als eine Technologie, die absolute Gegensätze vereint, wird deren Widersprüchlichkeit in all ihren Facetten aufgezeigt: vom Überwachungsapparat zum Instrument des Widerstands und Protests, vom animistisch beseelten Objekt bis hin zum Einsatz in der strategischen Kriegsführung. Reflektiert werden dabei auch zukünftige Entwicklungen, wie Fragen zu transhumanem Bewusstsein und Künstlicher Intelligenz.

Visualizing the Past

The Power of the Image in German Historicism

By: Kathrin Maurer

Visual media had a decisive impact on how the past was perceived in historicist culture in nineteenth-century Germany. The panorama, photography, and book illustrations can portray the past under the auspices of spatiality. Research on historicist culture often neglects this dimension of space and concentrates on traditional historicist paradigms, such as temporality, narrative, and teleology. By investigating the visual vocabulary of different historicist genres (academic historiography, illustrated history books, historical maps), this volume expands an understanding of German historicist culture as a multi-medial phenomenon, and shows that past is conveyed in spatial forms, such as travel locations, national and colonial spaces, as well as geographical areas. Tracing these concepts of historical space, this volume demonstrates that the image works as a powerful tool to propagate the ideology of German imperialism in the nineteenth-century, but also can critically reflect the political agendas of national historicism.

Building Resilience and Planning for Extreme Water-Related Events

By: Teresa Sprague,Kathrin Prenger-Berninghoff

This book discusses what it means for cities to work toward and achieve resilience in the face of climate change. The content takes an urban planning perspective with a water-related focus, exploring the continued global and local efforts in improving disaster risk management within the water sphere. Chapters examine four cities in the US and Germany - San Francisco, San Diego, Solingen and Wuppertal - as the core case studies of the discussion. The chapters for each case delve into the current status of the cities and issues resilience must overcome, and then explore solutions and key takeaways learned from the implementation of various resilience approaches. The book concludes with a summary of cross-cutting themes, best-practice examples and a reflection on the relevance of the approaches to cases in the wider developing world. This book engages both practitioners and scientific audiences alike, particularly those interested in issues addressed by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the recent Water Action Decade 2018-2028 and the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities.

Big Seven Study (2016): 7 open source Crypto-Messengers to be compared (English/Deutsch)

or: Comprehensive Confidentiality Review & Audit of GoldBug, Encrypting E-Mail-Client & Secure Instant Messenger.

By: David Adams,Ann-Kathrin Maier

Provided with two columns in German & English Language / Zweispaltig in deutscher & englischer Sprache. BIG SEVEN STUDY about 7 open source Crypto-Messengers for Encryption at the Desktop: A contribution in the cryptographic-discussion - The two security researchers David Adams (Tokyo) and Ann-Kathrin Maier (Munich), who examined in their BIG SEVEN study seven well-known encryption applications for e-mail and instant messaging out of the open source area, performed then a deeper IT-audit for the acquainted software solution GoldBug.sf.net. The audit took into account the essential criteria, study fields and methods on the basis of eight international IT-audit manuals and was carried out in 20 dimensions. It identifies Ten Trends in the Crypto-Messaging. Security researcher David Adams from Tokyo about the published BIG SEVEN CRYPTO-study: "We looked at the seven major open source programs for encrypted online-communication and identified ten trends in the Crypto-Messaging area. One of the important trends is the feature, that the users should be able to define a so-called end-to-end encrypting password by themselves manually". The software "GoldBug - email client and instant messenger" here was ahead with excellent results and is not only very trustworthy and compliant to international IT-audit manuals and safety standards, GoldBug also scores in comparison and in the evaluation of the single functions in much greater detail than the other comparable open source crypto messenger. Co-author of the study Ann-Kathrin Maier from Munich confirms: "We have then our Messenger study deepened with a detailed audit of the crypto-program GoldBug, which received excellent results for encrypted email and secure online chat. By our code-reviews we can confirm the trustworthiness of this open source encryption in GoldBug." Numerous details have been analyzed by various methods, compared and also strategically evaluated by the two authors regarding the current encryption discussions. The comparatively studied applications include CryptoCat, GoldBug, OTR-XMPP clients such as Pidgin with the OTR-plugin, RetroShare and Signal, Surespot and Tox.
