	abstract = {The concept of "accelerationism" has recently entered into critical thought as a rethinking of the development of capital. Accelerationism suggests that rather than trying to slow down or detourn capitalist processes, one should move to accelerate their development, thereby hastening the downfall of capitalism through the exploitation of capitalism{\textquoteright}s internal contradictions. While latent in the works of Marx and Engels, and supported by suggestive comments by Lyotard and Deleuze, theorists have now begun to think of accelerationism as a viable strategy. Much debate has explored exactly what an accelerationist program would look like, with some suggesting that certain forms of actually-existing capitalism, such as digital rights management and intellectual property regimes, ultimately arrest the forward motion of capitalism. While provocative, I will argue that accelerationism is fundamentally flawed due to the fluidity of capital, namely the fact that capital is always a socio-technical assemblage of humans and machines. As such, accelerationism will fail due to unpredictable events that occur in even the most carefully-designed system. Looking to the realm of finance, and especially the practices of high frequency trading, I will critique the teleological tendency that underlies accelerationist thought, showing instead that chaotic, fluid actions are at the heart of contemporary modes of technological development, and suggest instead that any accelerationist program needs to take into account these fluid activities of bodies and machines.},

	abstract = {_Noisy Fields: Interference and Equivocality in the Sonic Legacies of Information Theory_ discusses the ways in which noise causes interferences within disciplinary fields. Noise tends to bring diverse disciplinary approaches together, interfering in their constitution and their dynamics. I understand noise to be more than either positive revolutionary potential or negative disruption; instead, noise functions equivocally, possessing aspects of each pole in varying degrees. As such, it is vital to follow the machinations of noise. Considering noise as a material-discursive phenomenon, I trace its intersections with sonic practices and information theory. Noise was a key point of contention in the early debates surrounding the development of information theory, and I examine some situations that provide alternatives to the standard formulations. I then trace the interrelationships between information theory, noise, and early electronic music in the 1950s, outlining how artistic experiences necessitated the development of new information theories. Considering the confluence of sound and information in finance, I show how noise is both understood as a potential source of monetization while ultimately confounding attempts at complete capture. I turn to the nexus of speech, the voice, and noise, to consider situations of _parrhesia_, or {\textquotedblleft}fearless speech{\textquotedblright}, that consists of noisy interferences within social systems via the activity of robotic performing objects. Finally, I listen to the electronic vocal manipulations of Maja Ratkje and Holly Herndon to consider a micropolitics of the noisy voice. In sum, I show how the analysis of noise requires a transdisciplinary approach in order to elucidate the complicated dynamics of its interferences.},

	note = {HCI as a field comfortably and unquestionably links itself with
the corporate world. What does this mean in terms of an
ethics of problem choice, meaning the considerations that
influence what types of design projects HCI researchers consider
as important? Using the work of the industrial designer
Victor Papanek, I foreground the agency of the designer. By
undertaking a close reading of a recent publication of a major
corporate research lab, I examine what important social and
political aspects are missing from their vision of the future.
I end by examining the work of the design team Anthony
Dunne and Fiona Raby, describing how HCI can be involved
in the formation of new forms of subjectivity that are not
subservient to a market-based ideology.},
