Life in Code and Software - Living Books About Life
This book explores the relationship between living, code and software. Technologies of code and software increasingly make up an important part of our urban environment. Indeed, their reach stretches to even quite remote areas of the world. Life in Code and Software introduces and explores the way in which code and software are becoming the conditions of possibility for human living, crucially forming a computational ecology, made up of disparate software ecologies, that we inhabit. As such we need to take account of this new computational environment and think about how today we live in a highly mediated, code-based world. That is, we live in a world where computational concepts and ideas are foundational, or ontological, which I call computationality, and within which, code and software become the paradigmatic forms of knowing and doing. Such that other candidates for this role, such as: air, the economy, evolution, the environment, satellites, etc., are understood and explained through computational concepts and categories.

AFAIK, there have been very few, if any, exhaustive #softwarestudies on one major piece of software (say, a popular consumer application). Why is that?

Week 2 of project on #Photoshop: More reading on #softwarestudies. Remarkable theoretical and methodological tension, I think, between programmatic texts and actual case studies.

I may not agree with all assumptions and arguments (or find the grounding in Simondon's philosophy very helpful) – but Bernhard Rieder's Engines of Order is a VERY good book! Anyone seeking a better understanding of #software in the #humanities ought to read it. #softwarestudies

The circularity of #softwarestudies: They “alternate between searching for social and cultural meanings in software on the one hand, and offering technical expositions of ‘how software works’ on the other”.(Federica Fabretti, Software Theory)
