Date:06/02/2010Length:1:12:57
Literary scientist and media theorist Friedrich Kittler talking about computer monitors animated by graphics as most powerfully expressed through the mathematical algorithms of radiosity. Analogizing the computers' "ubiquitous" presence to the Christian God, he emphasizes the chemical over the physical, how knowledge of the world is known first by our machines, as in the case of the weather. He attributes today's nano-physics and technology as reflective of Richard M. Feynman's theoretical quandaries. European Graduate School EGS
