Black-Boxing Organisms, Exploiting The Unpredictable: Control Paradigms In Human-Machine Translations
SCIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF APPLICATION(2011)
摘要
This chapter outlines the development of a new technoscientific
rationality
in cybernetics
, artificial life
and especially new robotics
. It questions the naïve assumption of some technoscientists but also social scientists and scholars from the humanities that
this might be a more complex and inclusive technoscientific rationality beyond the old linear and functionalist Newtonian
rationality
. It differentiates between the development of a more static techno-rationality
in mainstream cybernetics and the emergence of a more dynamic biocybernetic version in artificial life and new robotics.
These technosciences introduced or partly reconfigured concepts such as communication, dis/order, noise
and unpredictability
and invented powerful analogies and methods to translate between humans and machines. With the help of this new techno-rationality,
it becomes possible to ascribe specific properties onto technical systems which were traditionally reserved for human beings
or organic systems. As a result, unpredictability and noise no more function as potential remedies against technoscientific
control
strategies but as new, more flexible and versatile means of command and control to make the translation of human and machine
more effective.
