SUMMARY:Workshop "Building on Models: Experiences from a Decade with the Microcircuit model"
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Hans Ekkehard Plesser \nComputational neuroscience\, the field dedicated to understanding brain function through modelling\, is dominated by small ad hoc models of neuronal networks designed to explain individual research questions. Such models are frequently implemented in low-level programming languages (e.g. C++\, Matlab\, Python) and at best shared as collections of source code files. By their design these task-specific models fail to integrate knowledge across studies of multiple aspects of brain function. And even though publicly available\, the nature of custom-written code presents significant hurdles to the re-use of model implementations by other scientists and collide with the aim of FAIRness in modelling. \nA model of the cortical microcircuit published by Potjans and Diesmann (2014) took a very different approach. Building their model bottom-up based on a carefully documented analysis of existing anatomical and physiological data\, P&D provided a carefully crafted model implementation executable on the domain-specific high-level simulation tool NEST and complemented it with thorough documentation on how to use the model. Indeed\, P&D even created an additional implementation of the model in the PyNN language\, so that the model can be executed automatically on a wide range of neuronal simulation tools\, including on neuromorphic hardware systems. \nTen years have passed since the publication of the microcircuit model by Potjans and Diesmann\, providing an excellent opportunity to take stock of how their focus on actively sharing their model and encouraging its re-use has been taken up by the scientific community and whether and how it has changed the culture of research in the field. While hundreds of publications have cited the P&D model and it has become an established standard for tests of both correctness and performance of neuromorphic systems\, the tenth anniversary of the model also invites an analysis of why the approach to active model sharing and re-use still struggles to catch on in computational neuroscience. \nIf you would like to attend\, please write a short email to events@khk.rwth-aachen.de.

SUMMARY:Conference: Politics of the Machines: Lifelikeness & beyond
DESCRIPTION:From 22 to 25 April 2024\, the experimental conference “Politics of the Machines: Lifelikeness & beyond” will take place in Aachen\, which seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of fields across the sciences\, technology and the arts to develop imaginaries for possibilities that are still to be realized and new ideas of what the contingency of life is. \nYou can find all information about the program\, key speakers and panels on the PoM website. \nIf you would like to attend\, please write an email to events@khk.rwth-aachen.de. \nPlease note: During the event\, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) will take photos and videos for public relations purposes.

SUMMARY:Distilled\, Extruded\, Suspended: Lessons in Lifelikeness  from the Metabolism of Mass Production - Hannah Landecker
DESCRIPTION:Keynote “Politics of the Machines” Conference \nAbstract: \nThis talk is about quite ordinary matters\, such as the prevention of perishability in rubbers and oils\, and how one makes a non-dairy creamer that lasts without refrigeration. Yet these are also extraordinary matters. The harvesting and remobilization of metabolically powerful objects and processes proceeded apace in the twentieth century\, a process of industrialization not just of agriculture or craft production\, but of metabolism itself. Cells\, enzymes\, antioxidant molecules\, polymers\, fats and many other capacities and pieces of living things were pulled apart and then pieced back together\, re-articulated into new sequences of material transformation at augmented volume or manipulated speed\, sometimes suspended here\, or driven forward there. Three lessons in lifelikeness from the historical annals of enzymes and antioxidants will invite listeners into the maw of a vast and reticulate petro-animate metabolism\, where novelty concatenates with mimicry and the synthetic is fed to the natural for dinner. Today\, as we begin to ask whether our material things are lasting too long – or not long enough – and the technical parameters of planetary costs of consumption figure prominently in negotiations of ageing\, biodegradability and toxicity\, it is useful to engage directly with the history and future of these technical lifespan objects into which values and temporalities are built. \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2024 Lecture Series Lifelikeness. \nIf you would like to attend\, please write a short email to events@khk.rwth-aachen.de.

SUMMARY:'life.like'
DESCRIPTION:As part of the conference Politics of the Machines: Lifelikeness & beyond\, a cooperation with the Performing Arts Centre PACT Zollverein in Essen is planned for Friday\, 26 April\, and Saturday\, 27 April 2024. \nWith ›life.like‹\, PACT invites you to an experiential\, installative\, and discursive journey that questions and transcends the boundaries between machines\, objects\, and biological systems. What spheres exist beyond the dividing lines of the living and non-living? How do data and unknown techno-social interactions influence decisions and our perception of the living? What relationships\, realms of possibility\, and collaborations emerge between technologies and artistic practices? \nIf you would like to attend\, please write a short email to events@khk.rwth-aachen.de.
