Under the impulsion of Andrew Adamatzky (Professor and director of Unconventional Computing in the Department of Computing and Creative Technology, University of the West of England in Bristol), LINKs publishes alongside the brand new issues 5 and 6 of the review<\/a>, its first special edition (in English) around unconventional computing.<\/p>\n As explained in his introduction, Andrew Adamatzky: \u201cThere is no strict definition of unconventional computing. Being an unconventional computist is not a matter of training but thinking and living. Phenomenologically most works on unconventional computing are about implementation of computing in novel substrates (chemical, physical, biological), development of computing schemes and algorithms not fitting into the mainstream framework, or designing of computing architectures inspired by chemical or biological systems\/special edition)\u201d.<\/p>\n This special 100-page issue of LINKs gives a good multidimensional overview of the field of \u201cunconventional computing\u201d with some twenty in-depth articles (by researchers and academics from the UK, United States, Canada, Germany, Poland, Japan\u2026), all nicely illustrated.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”post-txt” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Transdisciplinary and international review launched in October 2019, both demanding and accessible free of charge, LINKs<\/a> is a beautiful stirrer of thoughts that crosses different fields of scientific investigation (from neurosciences to quantum physics, from artificial intelligence to systems theory), philosophical, artistic (again with a wide range covered and crossing various contemporary practices). We can only support such an adventure which succeeds in bringing together such a great committee of talented researchers, academics, critics, artists.<\/p>\n As Louis-Jos\u00e9 Lestoquart, the director \/ initiator of this unique review, which also combines French and English, points out:<\/p>\n \u201cIn a context where culture and civilizations are in transition, where global politico-economic and technological data are once again disrupted, particularly with the emergence of Big Data, connected objects and transhumanist thinking, LINKs is breaking away from reductionists and questions the notion of reality through kinds of \u201cthought experiments\u201d.<\/p>\n It offers essays more than theories. She does not \u201cteach\u201d specifically, but experiencing and living herself through her writings, she shows attempts, operates through very varied and extensive fields, returns in infinite numbers, in order to find the right language, the principle of intelligibility\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/pepinieres.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LINKs-Special_Issue_1-Cover-Unconventional_Computing-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2021.jpg” title_text=”LINKs-Special_Issue_1-Cover-Unconventional_Computing-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2021″ url=”http:\/\/links-series.com\/links-series-special-edition-1-unconventional-computing\/” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/pepinieres.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Links-series-SI1-Patchwork-Vert1.jpg” title_text=”Links-series-SI1-Patchwork-Vert1″ url=”http:\/\/links-series.com\/links-series-special-edition-1-unconventional-computing\/” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_class=”post-txt” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Thoughts on Unconventional Computing<\/strong><\/p>\n “<\/strong>There is no strict definition of unconventional computing. Being an unconventional computist is not a matter of training but thinking and living. Phenomenologically most works on unconventional computing are about implementation of computing in novel substrates (chemical, physical, biological), development of computing schemes and algorithms not fitting into the mainstream framework, or designing of computing architectures inspired by chemical or biological systems. This special issue of LINKs gives a snapshot of the unconventional computing field. Articles presented are punchy and well illustrated.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t feel there is a need to introduce each article because they all are short and self-contained and as well can be seen as extended abstracts or essays of the authors research profiles. All articles of the issue are authored by the world-leading experts in the field. The issue will serve well as a light-touch introduction to unconventional computing for people not familiar with computing and might inspire artists and humanitarians to enter the field.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Andrew Adamatzky, Bristol <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Special Issue 1 \u2013 UNcoNveNtIoNaL compUtINg” admin_label=”Table mati\u00e8re 1″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Comit\u00e9 de r\u00e9daction” admin_label=”Comit\u00e9” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Director of publication: Louis-Jos\u00e9 Lestocart, Art and film critic, essayist, theorist of Complexity Founders members<\/strong><\/p>\n Active members<\/strong><\/p>\n Historical member<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte Info Prod” module_class=”post-txt post-txt-info” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Infos<\/strong><\/p>\n Production<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Under the impulsion of Andrew Adamatzky (Professor and director of Unconventional Computing in the Department of Computing and Creative Technology, University of the West of England in Bristol), LINKs publishes alongside the brand new issues 5 and 6 of the review, its first special edition (in English) around unconventional computing.
