This book examines the media history of swarm research and its significance to current socio-technological processes. It shows that the hype about collective intelligence is based on a reciprocal computerization of biology and biologization of computer science: After decades of painstaking biological observations in the ocean, experiments in aquariums, and mathematical model-making, it was swarms-inspired computer simulation which provided biological researchers with enduring knowledge about animal collectives. At the same time, a turn to biological principles of self-organization made it possible to adapt to unclearly delineated sets of problems and clarify the operation of opaque systems - from logistics to architecture, or from crowd control to robot collectives. As zootechnologies, swarms offer performative, synthetic, and approximate solutions in cases where analytical approaches are doomed to fail. 410 0$aRecursions: theories of media, materiality, and cultural techniques. 606 $aSwarm intelligence 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aSwarming (Zoology) 610 $aMedia History, Media Theory Swarm Intelligence, Computer Simulation, Animal Collectives. 615 0$aSwarm intelligence. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aSwarming (Zoology) 676 $a006.3824 700 $aVehlken$b Sebastian$0788383 702 $aPakis$b Valentine A. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996433045403316 996 $aZootechnologies$91991590 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01008nam 22003373 450 001 9910163299803321 005 20230220084621.0 010 $a1-78543-673-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000001046722 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7197528 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7197528 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001046722 100 $a20230220d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Scarlet Pimpernel $e?It is only in our beautiful France that wholesale slaughter is done lawfully, in the name of liberty and of brotherly love? 210 1$aLondon :$cCopyright Group,$d2016. 210 4$dİ2016. 215 $a1 online resource (174 pages) 517 $aScarlet Pimpernel 700 $aOrczy$b Baroness$0439145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163299803321 996 $aScarlet pimpernel$972312 997 $aUNINA
