Discotheques, Magazines and Plexiglas: Superstudio and the Architecture of Mass Culture by Ross K. Elfline

“…Later, the group abandoned these pursuits in favour of utopian ‘paper architecture’ projects, simultaneously rejecting the reified consumer object while relying entirely on the magazine as a formal support, a medium fully ingrained in the world of consumerism. Eventually, Superstudio proposed a ‘world without objects’ in which the individual would have a more direct relationship to everyday life by pursuing nomadism and plugging into a networked grid covering the Earth’s surface. …”

Device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprinting indoor localization model based on domain adaptation by Zenghua ZHAO, Yuefan TONG, Jiayang CUI

“…In real-world large-scale deployments of indoor localization, Wi-Fi fingerprinting approaches suffer from device diversity problem which impacts the localization accuracy significantly.A device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprint indoor localization model DeviceTransfer was proposed.Based on the domain adaptation theory of deep learning, the device type of the smartphone was taken as the domain, the task-related and device-independent Wi-Fi data features were extracted through adversarial training, and the learned source domain location information was transferred to the target domain.Pre-training and joint training were employed to improve model training stability and to accelerate convergence.The performance of DeviceTransfer was evaluated using four types of smartphones in two real-world indoor environments: a school building and a shopping mall.The experimental results show that DeviceTransfer effectively extracts device-independent Wi-Fi fingerprint features.Using only one type of phone to collect Wi-Fi fingerprints, online localization using other types still achieves high localization accuracy, thus reducing localization cost significantly.…”

Narration filmique des mondes agricoles : de la bipartition des mondes agricoles à leur mise en réflexion visuelle by Béatrice Maurines 

“…This paper aims, through an analysis of a series of documentaries, at underlining how their storytellings examplify the dual nature of the agricultural world. On the one hand, some documentaries condemn a world of agro-industry linked to international firms and ultraliberal and « scalable » capitalism and in particular for their implications in problems of food security, public health and misuse of the soil resource. …”
