Amidst an unprecedented diversity of artistic modes brought forward by a massive influx of information and communication technology, the notion of interface, the connection between the person and the object, between the real and the virtual, assumes a role of paramount significance. Where once the object, the medium, and the roles of its creator and audience were securely defined, now nothing c...
متن کاملMultiscale regime shifts and planetary boundaries.
Life on Earth has repeatedly displayed abrupt and massive changes in the past, and there is no reason to expect that comparable planetary-scale regime shifts will not continue in the future. Different lines of evidence indicate that regime shifts occur when the climate or biosphere transgresses a tipping point. Whether human activities will trigger such a global event in the near future is unce...
متن کاملTesting Species Boundaries in Biodiversity Studies
A paper recently published by Phillips et al. (1996) reported a molecular genetic study of all recognized subspecies of the common snapping turtle ( Chelydra serpentina ) and concluded from patterns of geographic variation in isozyme and mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment pattern data that three evolutionary species should be recognized in this group. We suggest that this paper is fundament...
متن کاملRethinking IS project boundaries in practice: A multiple-projects perspective
Information Systems research and prescriptive IS project management methodologies are dominated by a perspective on single projects that treats the unit of analysis as a lonely phenomenon with strictly defined boundaries. This study questions this assumption by exploring how the taken for granted project’s boundaries are defined in practice. It investigates a case study of an ERP implementation...
متن کاملRethinking Mortality: Exploring the Boundaries between Life and Death
Remarkable advances in the technological capacity of modern medicine now permit the use of mechanical organ failure support deployed primarily to save life. Such technology serves as a bridge to either recovery or, when feasible, organ transplantation. However, when effective treatment options are exhausted, technological advances can be burdensome bridges to death. This paper briefly reviews t...
