In a state of ontological crisis, all boundaries between human and machine, nature and culture, and the organic and inorganic have been severely blurred. These are times of curious contrivances, novel natures, inescapable automation, and posthuman performances – where human and nonhuman find themselves being entwined, meshed and muddled into new unwitting entanglements. But from biased machine-learning to surveillance capitalism and digital colonisation – what power-structures are implicitly and covertly being embedded into these technologies?
In a demand for more transparency, multiple movements are making a turn toward democratising knowledge and technology. They are exploring the potentials of open data, software, hardware and wetware to battle concealed hierarchies and partisan paradigms – eliciting a practice of counter-coding in a proliferating politics of machines.
Within the Politics of the Machines conference series – following Copenhagen (2018) and Beirut (2019), the third POM conference took place as a hybrid conference on the 14-17 of September 2021, hosted by the chair for Open Science at the Technische Universität Berlin / Einstein Center Digital Future and the Berlin University of the Arts / Weizenbaum Institute.
The goal of this edition of POM was to debate and devise concepts and practices that seek to critically question and unravel novel modes of science – what roles do academia, researchers, scientists, artists and designers have to take on in times of crisis, how must we re/position ourselves?
What chances or challenges might the democratisation of technology and knowledge elicit, and what potential do practices such as critical making, community science, trans/feminist hacking or citizen forensics hold to bend the hierarchies of power – how can we work with active matter and technical turmoil to re/act?
‘POM Berlin – Rogue Research’ aimed to probe new methodological approaches from art, design and civic activism within the framework of academia in order to surface an inter- and transdisciplinary terrain that attempts to exceed the boundaries of theory and practice, academia and activism, and science and civil society.
The POM Berlin conference emerged as a collaboration between the Technische Universität Berlin, the Berlin University of the Arts, Aalborg University, Aalto University, and the International University of Beirut. The conference took place over four days, comprising a series of tracks, interventions and a student exhibition.
The conference brought together track chairs, speakers and interventions from 31 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America, representing critical perspectives on technology – decolonial, feminist and sustainable approaches, across disciplines, knowledge cultures and spaces.
Taking place in times of a pandemic and geopolitical crisis, the editors, conference committee and organisational team would like to sincerely thank all of the track chairs, authors, intervening artists and designers, and students involved in this endeavour, for making both the conference and the resulting proceedings possible. It is the profound engagement of all parties, especially the ever-growing POM community,
that has allowed this publication to arise.
This thesis focuses on small scale residential cooling application with unitary air conditioning units as they are wide spread in the so called Middle East North African Region. The presence of these single room or single apartment cooling systems is evaluated and their impact throughout the region assessed. They have a tremendous impact on the electric supply in countries like Saudi Arabia where most of the households already have an AC-unit. The impact in other countries with relatively less installed systems, like in Egypt, is already crucial and leads to regular power cuts. However, the stability of the grids of these countries will decrease further with a higher penetration rate of electric air conditioning systems. Current technology development aims to reduce the buildings cooling energy demand, increase the coefficient of performance, or to substitute the cooling mechanism with a different approach such as sorptive cooling systems. However, these systems require a costly and time intensive change of the building structure or an exchange of the existing cooling system. Due to this reasons, this thesis focuses on the additional installation of a small scale PV electric system, including a battery and applying advanced control strategies to utilize the thermal storage capacity of the building masses. Therefore, the present room cooling system is modeled as a reference system as it could be present throughout the entire region. This system consists of a room model of a typical apartment structure and is cross validated. Two use cases are applied: a bed room and a living room. Further, it includes a model of the solar electric system which is as well parametrized to regional values. Newly, a split unit model and an extended Kinetic Battery model are set up. The single models are combined to an entire system simulation. Afterwards, the main parameters are varied in particle swarm optimization runs to determine the impact of various boundary conditions, such as the electricity price and feed in tariffs, battery and thermal storage capacities, and solar collector field size. The simulation results are compared in terms of levelized costs of cooling, solar coverage rate and the solar cooling autonomy. The findings are compared in a case study. This study highlights the results of the Hurghada, Egypt city district of El Gouna. There, personal observations of the results where possible and an in depth analysis of the results was undertaken. In this location, the levelized costs of electricity for a small scale PV system with 1kWpeak drop there to 0.18USD/kWh with a short investment period of 5 years. They even drop to 0.08 and 0.05USD/kWh when taking an investment period of 15 or 25 years into consideration. With this values, various levelized costs of cooling are simulated as a parameter field of the particle swarm optimization. The findings show, that in most cases, the cooling costs become negative, even with relatively short investment periods. Within a bed room, a solar coverage rate of 0.9 can be achieved with a small scale PV system with weighted costs of only 677USD. In terms of solar cooling autonomy, the most cost efficient system has weighted costs of1,036USD, resulting in a coverage rate of 0.71. The living room air conditioning system can achieve best weighted costs of1,459USDfor a cooling autonomy of 0.86.Further, the practical application of a small scale PV electric solar cooling system was evaluated by the author in the case study location itself. The limitations of the theoretic system design are presented and discussed. Part of this analysis is the thermal stratification in typical vaulted apartment structures as they have a huge impact on the deviation between simulated and measured room air cooling demand.

Handy Handbook of Hands
(2022)
Handy Handbook of Hands is about the finger binary systems. The first part of this book shows how to count and display binary numbers on the fingers. In the second part, a binary finger alphabet is developed that enables the communication of words with fingers.
Children learn to count with their fingers at an early age. The Latin word for fingers or toes “digitus” is the root of the English word digit. A normal person has, if nothing unforeseen happens, five digits on each hand. This limits the counting of the fingers to ten. By using binary numbers with the fingers of one or both hands, it is possible to count and display all numbers from 0 to 1023.
Counting in binary is one thing, but fingers can switch from “counting mode” to “text mode”. The binary finger alphabet technique allows communicating words and even entire sentences with the fingers. It is similar to Morse code and gives each letter of the alphabet a specific finger constellation. It is structured from simple finger constellations for the most commonly used letters of the English alphabet to more difficult constellations for rare letters.
Trotz der zunehmenden Finanzialisierung und Privatisierung von Stadtraum entstehen vielerorts Räume, die sich aus einer nicht-renditeorientierten Praxis heraus entwickeln. Auch aufgrund mangelnder kommunaler Absicherung findet in Berliner Nachbarschaften eine stadtpolitische Selbstermächtigung statt, indem Orte jenseits von Marktlogiken als für alle zugängliche und gemeinsame Räume offengehalten werden.
Dieser zivilgesellschaftlichen Planungsarbeit, die auch die sozialen Gefüge am Ort erhält und weiter stärkt, wurde an drei Orten in Berlin nachgegangen: Im Nachbarschaftsraum neben dem Kotti-Shop im Neuen Zentrum Kreuzberg entsteht eine kollektive Spielplatzplanung; die station urbaner kulturen/ nGbK Hellersdorf hält für eine freiräumliche Allmende am «Place Internationale» eine Nutzungsvereinbarung, die Initiative Hermannplatz unterstützt die Nachbarschaft im Kampf gegen den Abriss des Karstadtgebäudes und die Verdrängung lokaler Gewerbetreibender.
Studierende haben sich ein Semester lang als Kartograf:innen in eine Kooperation mit den Initiativen vor Ort begeben und drei grossformatige Zeichnungen erstellt, die die kooperativen Arbeitsweisen im jeweiligen Kontext modellhaft für eine gemeinwohlorientierte Stadtentwicklung aufzeigen. Sie veranschaulichen den Zusammenhang zwischen selbstverwalteter Planungsarbeit und nachbarschaftlicher Raumproduktion und befragen die Rolle von Politik und Verwaltung als – eigentlich – Gemeingut-sichernde Instanz. Als Handreichung und Debattenbeitrag dienen die Kartierungen der Etablierung kooperativer Designansätze im Widerstand gegen eine renditeorientierte Stadtentwicklung.

Die Zeichen der Auguren
(2022)
Abstract. This study compares performance of different speech com-
mand classification systems which can be executed on an Raspberry
Pi Zero ARMv6 architecture. Three systems are evaluated: first one,
TREELITE_MFCC, is based on Treelite system cross-compiles a MFCC-
classifying Random Forest into a highly optimized shared library; second,
TFLITE_MFCC, performs classification of MFCC inputs by means of
convolutional neural network encoded as a lightweight TensorFlow Lite
model while the third one - labeled as TFLITE_RAW - uses more com-
plex network to directly classify the audio signal. We evaluate models
not only in terms of their accuracy and precision, but also in terms of
execution time, voltage, current and energy consumed. We observe that
while TFLITE_RAW offers superior performance in terms of accuracy,
TREELITE_RAW is also worth of consideration for low-latency real-
life applications since it offers relatively good performance (avg. micro-
precision=0.917) but its predictions, when executed on Raspberry Pi
Zero, are significantly faster and cost less energy than TensorFlow Lite
models.
Farming the Uncanny Valley
(2022)
Veränderungen wie der Klimawandel oder der Verlust von Artenvielfalt führen uns deutlich vor Augen, dass wir unsere Handlungsroutinen grundlegend verändern müssen. Die Herausforderung dieser Transformationsprozesse liegt für den Einzelnen wie auch für Gemeinschaften und etablierte Organisationsstrukturen in der Überwindung von Komfort-Zonen im Angesicht von Ungewissheit.
Ebenso die Komplexität wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse stellt uns vor eine große Aufgabe.
Informationen müssen immer wieder verglichen, aufbereitet, zugänglich gemacht und mit der Alltagsrealität verknüpft werden, um auf dieser Grundlage gemeinsam unsere Zukunftsvorstellungen aushandeln zu können.
Worüber müssen wir als Gesellschaft eigentlich reden?
Wie können wir unsere Kräfte bündeln und gemeinsam Handeln?
In dem Projekt “Farming the Uncanny Valley” haben wir durch eine künstlerische Herangehensweise Methoden entwickelt, um Brücken zwischen akademischem Wissen und Alltagserfahrungen zu bauen sowie das eigene Handeln und Denken zu hinterfragen. Dabei bilden situative Erfahrungen die gemeinsame Grundlage für Lernerfahrungen, Selbstreflektion und gemeinschaftlichen Austausch.
Dieses Buch zeigt anhand konkreter Beispiele und Praxiserfahrungen unser methodisches Vorgehen sowie die Ergebnisse der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema der Bioökonomie.
