James Benning’s turn from 16mm filmmaking to digital filmmaking after his RR (2007) released the already prolific Benning from his struggles with 16mm film projection and print damage and unleashed a new wave of digital productivity. This interview explores Benning’s many digital films, including the several films that are part of his Two Cabins project (focusing on the cabins, lives, and writings of Henry David Thoreau and Ted Kaczynski), his Warhol-inspired portrait films—After Warhol (2011), Twenty Cigarettes (2011)—his three-hour-plus “single-shot” film, BNSF (2012), his cine-exploration of Vienna’s Naturhistorischesmuseum, and his personal epic, 52 Films (2015), an adventure into modifying a broad range of online postings from the internet—originally designed to be presented on fifty-two computers, but so far, shown mostly as interactive screenings with Benning present.

Integrated Service

The Internet of services introduces new requirements for service engineering in terms of addressing both business and technical perspectives. The inherent complexity of the new wave of services that is emerging requires new approaches for an effective and efficient service design. In this chapter a novel service engineering framework is introduced: the Integrated Service Engineering (ISE) framework. With its ISE workbench, it can address the emerging requirements of Internet of services. The chapter presents the foundations on how the service engineering process can be conducted by applying the separation of concerns to model different service dimensions within various layers of abstraction. Additionally, three novel extensions are presented to the aforementioned ISE workbench in order to enrich the capabilities of the service modeling process.

There remains a lack of consensus about the extent to which pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) contributed to the recent dramatic and stunning declines in HIV incidence occurring in the United Kingdom. This chapter describes the potential role of PrEP in this decline and offers insights into how this occurred despite a lack of formal, government-sponsored support for PrEP. Further, the chapter describes the development of a new PrEP movement in England as well as contributing factors, such as the leadership of a new wave of HIV activists, access to global generic markets, innovative supply chains, and the use of social media and the Internet. The “U-turn” and subsequent court cases are also described.

The Internet Of Things

In the trials of utilization of technology for the society, efforts have shown benefits of the ICT use in facilitating education from different perspectives based on different waves of technological change. The recent development in technologies has also resulted in change of user behavior and usage patterns towards different areas of life, and consequently in the area of education. A new wave of change has started and is expecting to proliferate with stronger connectivity and interoperability of various devices, named as the Internet of Things (IoT). The internet of things is expected to give strong impacts on different areas of life including healthcare, transportation, smart homes, smart campus, and more. Consequently, there are inherent benefits to the education environment that are not yet well established in literature. The paper studies the potential benefit and impact of the IoT evolution concept in both the physical and the virtual learning environment and suggests a paradigm with use case scenarios. The results of an experimental evaluation on the aspects of applying IoT technology in education are presented and discussed in order to verify the set of related hypotheses.

First Time

The pragmatic nature of the Me too speech act is studied in two different areas of functioning: outside the Internet environment and in cyberspace. It is noted that in normal communication Me too is a response cue that closes an adjacency pair and does not have a persuasive potential. On the Internet, this speech act undergoes radical changes, turning into a stimulus statement that initiates the mass participation of a certain target audience in the movement against sexual harassment. It is shown that the pragmatic transformation of the phrase is due to the action of both linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The transition from a responsive cue to an initial utterance is ensured by a common presupposition for all addressees, while the versatility of intentions acquired by the speech act (affirmation, recognition, accusation, appeal) together with the deictic pronoun of the first person endow it with a high degree of persuasiveness. As the psychological basis for the effective impact of the phrase, the ideas of the American psychological school about the importance of empathy and the therapeutic effect of public actions - confessions are successfully introduced into the consciousness of a globalized community. The novelty of the study is that for the first time the fact of the limited relevance of individual postulates of pragmalinguistic theories for the Internet space is established. The relevance of the work is associated with the need for a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of repragmatization of the Me too , which receives the role of a semiotic marker and a cultural symbol of a new wave of the feminist movement.

Open Standards

An open society, if it utilizes communications systems, requires open standards. The personal-computer revolution and the Internet have resulted in a vast new wave of Internet users. These new users have a material interest in the technical standards that proscribe their communications. These new users make new demands on the standardization processes, often with the rallying cry, “Open standards.” As is often the case, a rallying cry means many different things to different people. This chapter explores the different requirements suggested by the term open standards. Perhaps when everyone agrees on what requirements open standards serve, it will be possible to achieve them and maintain the open society many crave.

AbstractFor well over twenty years, we have witnessed an intriguing debate about the nature of cyberspace. Used for everything from communication to commerce, it has transformed the way individuals and societies live. But how has it impacted the sovereignty of states? An initial wave of scholars argued that it had dramatically diminished centralised control by states, helped by a tidal wave of globalisation and freedom. These libertarian claims were considerable. More recently, a new wave of writing has argued that states have begun to recover control in cyberspace, focusing on either the police work of authoritarian regimes or the revelations of Edward Snowden. Both claims were wide of the mark. By contrast, this article argues that we have often misunderstood the materiality of cyberspace and its consequences for control. It not only challenges the libertarian narrative of freedom, it suggests that the anarchic imaginary of the Internet as a ‘Wild West’ was deliberately promoted by states in order to distract from the reality. The Internet, like previous forms of electronic connectivity, consists mostly of a physical infrastructure located in specific geographies and jurisdictions. Rather than circumscribing sovereignty, it has offered centralised authority new ways of conducting statecraft. Indeed, the Internet, high-speed computing, and voice recognition were all the result of security research by a single information hegemon and therefore it has always been in control.
