*Please join us in celebrating this year's WEF Award Winners!*
These remarkable women are taking the virtual stage at the U.N. General
Assembly this week to honour their work as leaders and role models, and to
present their visions for the next generation.
Please join us in congratulating them at Friday's event, sponsored by the
United Nations, WEF, Women's Economic Forum and ALL Ladies League, The
Inclusive Design Research Centre-SMARTlab, and the EU-Africa Women in
Science and Technology Taskforce for the European Commission and European
Parliament, hosted by Intelligence in Science: ISC.
Selected award winners have been supported by grants from SMARTlab,the UCD
Foundation, Irish Manufacturing Research with Enterprise Ireland, the Irish

All Best, Lizbeth

*Announcement*
An important ScienceDigital Conference to celebrate the *United Nations
General Assembly, 75th anniversary *begins 24 September, ending 2nd of
October 2020
*S**cience**D**igital**@UNGA75 *raises awareness of the role and
contribution of science to the attainment of the SDGs. The contribution of
Science Digital Cooperation is foundational to the achievement of the UN
SDG?s and this important week of meetings is organised by ISC Intelligence
in Science, produced in collaboration with People Centred Internet, Medical
University Graz, AERAP Africa-EU Science Platform, LifeWatch Eric, and
others.
*Science Collaboration across continents and nations, across themes and
disciplines*
The conference will examine the enabling environment for policy, regulatory
and finance and the instruments and infrastructure needed to put in place
to sustain science mechanisms which inspire, encourage and support truly
global scientific collaboration.
*Global participation, better science enabled by attention to data, data
policy and governance*
Attainment of the SDGs will require alignment on policy and regulation that
impact science and technology, the digital economy and society. People?s
lives are now impacted and we are increasingly aware of the consequences of
how data is handled, stored, managed and accessed. Alignment is necessary
so that digitally enabled science can operate globally to address global
challenges: Science, research and development are increasingly
encountering rising data challenges which demand our thoughtful attention
followed by thorough research policy consideration.
Without regulatory equivalency or some degree of global harmonization,it?s
difficult to see how, for example, the health and medical science
cooperation that needs to happen between developed and less developed
nations will take place. We must push past science geared to the people in
developed countries, science experiments especially in health must be
globally applicable and relevant to people of all races and cultures.
Unless aligned, disparate existing regulatory frameworks are and will
continue to be a barrier to science; a barrier to innovation; a barrier to
technology transfer; a barrier that will impede progress in addressing
health deprivation and other challenges. This applies to diagnostics,
therapy development and healthcare delivery. We have reached a point where
ICT technologies and health research are intertwined but policy operates in
separate silos.
The United Nations report *?The Age of Digital Interdependence
https://www.un.org/en/pdfs/DigitalCooperation-report-for%20web.pdf>? *and
the related *?Roadmap for Digital Cooperation
<https://www.un.org/en/content/digital-cooperation-roadmap/>?* under the
auspices of the first UN Secretary General to have been a Professor of
Electrical Engineering, Antonio Guterres, have developed a blueprint for a
connected world and a vision for sustained and integrated connectivity
designed to build a trust enabled environment where science can thrive.
*ScienceDigtial@UNGA75 **promotes the idea of unitary science*
All science disciplines are ultimately linked and enabled in similar ways.
Without understanding this policymakers and legislators are likely to
embark on disparate and disconnected initiatives. Here also, the lack of
coordination and national vested interests will conspire to impede
scientific progress and the resulting innovations to address truly global
and immediate challenges. This will impede the digital cooperation
essential to reap the dividends of technology and critical to develop
guardrails for this powerful tool, which in the wrong hands can be
dangerous to life and the planet.

Yasminers
a) thanks to ken friedman post reminding of us of one of the failures
of the digital commons-
the explosion of predatory publishers- how can Yasmin help on this problem ?
b) apologies to those whose posts were approved late- like many people we
are overwhelmed with the turbulence of WWIII that combines pandemics
with climate change.
c) if any yasminer would like to spend a little donated time to keep
yasmin going and thinking
aloud- dont hesitate to contact us.
d) finally: I highly recommend the new book by Sarabeth Berk: "More
than my title:
the power of hybrid professionals in a workforce of experts and generalists"
it is very readable- some of the things that are new, are true, and
some are maybe not !
but as i read, its almost a imaginary discussion of the YASMIN
community of practice-
yes we are hybrid and amphibian - and with WWIII we need to learn to
not only walk
and swim but also fly!
feel free to post discussions of readings and sources on our Yasmin
discussion list
which has been dormant during the pandemic

Dearest friend,
Sorry for such bad news today! I suppose you know about it , because
people have been communicating about that , in the last days. But I
decided to write to my best friends!
I am really sad about the passing of Arlindo Machado, last Sunday.
It was due to heart problems. He was not in good health for a long time.
Now, we need only remember and celebrate his wisdom and dedication. Many
memories and legacies: in my case, texts still from the 90s. Go to my
FB, where
I posted his classic and pioneering book in 88," A Arte do V?deo"
accompanied by an interview at MIS when he was launching the book. At this
time he was finishing his Ph.D. at PUC SP and was my Professor at USP in my
Master's with Julio Plaza support. Very young, even when he had only the
Master's degree, he was quite brilliant and vibrant by the creative mind of
artists. He used to visit me in each trip I did to S?o Paulo, for
discussing my projects and making plans for Brazil. I have a great text
about my "aesthetic of metamorphosis " thesis, and we discussed the
respective exhibitions.
Rare moments! OMG, only SAUDADES , Brazilian word that strongly says our
feelings!
We will miss you , irreplaceable, Arlindo! Cheers to your magnificent life!
How are you doing? My SAUDADES too!
Forte abra?o!!
Diana

Yasminer friends,
Tania Fraga sends us these Unforgettable Memories of Arlindo Machado:
? Virtuality, Visuality & Reality
We encourage all those who knew Arlindo to share with us their memories
as part of reinventing how we remember for the future in this digital age,
when post people who are dying during the pandemic will be un-remembered
Roger Malina
The fragments of memories I have of Arlindo Machado are memorable. I
met him in 1989, at the first meeting of Art and Technology at the
University of Brasilia, a time when I was looking for ways to express
myself using the computer, what we now call computer art.
His reflections on art and technology enchanted me. They brought to me
the theories of Vil?m Flusser about the role of the artist and the
philosopher when working with technical images. Such a purpose is to
glimpse the contents of semiotic machines as devices programmed with
"stupid automation" in a world of "empty symbols," that constrain the
"space for freedom."[1]
There is a need to learn to "think with images,"[2] sounds, and words.
The exponential combination of possibilities ? explained in the
Mallarm? dice game and potentially found in the computer-generated
images ? emerges from the mysterious world of computer graphics as an
infinite universe of options, making the pure mathematical abstraction
concrete, visible. This meeting was a sublime moment that made me
inquire about what the "thingness" of things consists of and what
reality is.
Arlindo taught me that video-graphic images permit "writing the
movement," allowing the artist to "interfere in the construction of
the image," subvert them, play and experiment with them, manage signs
in languages of sensitivity and imagination, making the sensitive
intelligible. He had the miraculous ability to bring these themes to
life, making me fall in love with such possible fields. It also could
make me envision the possibility of creating a visual and virtual
language with numbers.
In his classes and lectures, he showed us that the sign and symbolic
space is revealed in the poetic flashes of what happens, presenting
itself, showing off as an experiment that allows experimentation with
language. An investigation that led me to embark on a creative act
that carries in its popular name ? virtual reality ? an apparent
paradox. Any work that expresses itself as visual and virtual realms
presents the virtual giving it visibility, and therefore reality. In
this way, it made the act of thinking and conceiving language an
adventure that allows us to realize and experience this something.
I learned from Arlindo to observe the signs and signals emanating from
the things and beings surrounding us; to face the enormous complexity
of the perceptual field, its objects, its energies. Its peculiar
creatures and its multiple aspects allow an immediate knowledge
entwined in psychic activity, as an intersection of the world with the
inner, subjective states, characterizing it as data of experience in
the consciousness of the individual who interprets them and gives them
meanings. The mirror of the mind reflects fragments of a world outside
that mind, but which passes through it, presenting itself as
reflections of a complex totality. We give meanings to these reflexes,
interpreting them from the mythopoetic configurations available in our
repertoires of cognitive and sensory beings.
I take this moment to arouse the readers' curiosity and invite them to
enjoy discovering Arlindo's texts. There are many, and I will not list
them here. I highlight, however, those who influenced me the most:
"The Art of Video," "The Fourth Iconoclasm," "Machines and Imaginary,"
and "The Subject on the Screen," which, according to him, I was the
"inspiring muse of many parts of this book." When Arlindo talked about
the sensual character of stereoscopic images and the eroticism of
their look, I remember that he irreverently provoked me and made me
say to full auditoriums the (private) name of one of this stereoscopic
work: red butt torus. In the book "The Fourth Iconoclasm," we will
find an extensive discussion on the importance of non-verbal
communication and expression languages as being perfectly adequate for
the production of knowledge and reflection.

that mind, but which passes through it, presenting itself as
reflections of a complex totality. We give meanings to these reflexes,
interpreting them from the mythopoetic configurations available in our
repertoires of cognitive and sensory beings.
With his enormous generosity, during my doctorate, which he
supervised, Arlindo gave me a copy of his book still in press,
"Machines and Imaginary." In this book, Arlindo discusses the
importance of the process in itself for the creation of artworks, of
simulation, Mallarm?'s dream, the status of reality, and the hegemony
of electronic image, among many other related subjects. For Arlindo,
the virtual signs conquer the regime of becoming realities: tangible
and intangible, virtual, visual, immaterial, and material, inherent,
possible, interior, psychic, transcendent realities. Realms that are
interpreted by the sensors available in the neural system and are
translated and evaluated, configuring themselves as mental processes,
presenting themselves as perceptions that take the form of thoughts.
Therefore, we infer that thought expresses itself through signs, and,
through them, represents, remembers, and presents the objects that
exist in the world outside of it ? thought ? and that with them ?
objects ? establish relations.
Thoughts are worthy things. Artists usually characterize them as
visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and intuitive
thoughts. They enable discernment and the ability to unveil, in all
their fullness, a corresponding character, of a different order from
that achieved through discursive or analytical knowledge, used by
philosophers and scientists.
The direct, immediate, and current apprehension of a
sign?thing?symbol, in its reality, is one of the physical
characteristics of the contemporary artist's work. In this, the
material realm presents itself as phenomenal fields composed of
possibilities updated through visual, aural, tactile, taste, and
olfactory experimentation. This characteristic is what makes virtual
domains present themselves as reality.
How many hours of discussions and provocations about Flusser's
statements related to the artist's need, or not, to penetrate the
"interior of the black box, interfering in its internal workings (?)
since all criticism of the technical image must aim at whitening that
box."[3]
At that time, there were countless questions formed in my mind: the
artist's role is the act of organizing experiments with the things
that presented and represented something, being present because they
exist to become the experience of those who experience them and
interact with them? How does something that presents itself virtual,
identify itself as numbers, appear perceptible gaining existence as a
thing or potential to be a thing? Are these artistic virtual realities
something more than experimental reflections of a mathematical world?
Although they capture the attention of the participants, impose
themselves on their sensations, and transform vague feelings ?
qualities intertwined in the nebulous here and now ? into a dominant
perceptual process, are these processes expressions of the artist's
sensitive and sensory universe? Are they also characterized as
hypermedia, mediating interdependent and plural signs?
Arlindo challenged me frequently. One of those challenges was to work
with whites. This challenge required years of research, and it took a
long time to get a bold result. Computer graphics domains result
through the manipulation of light and achieving white variations
within the environment created a problematic situation. Therefore, I
photographed snowy landscapes in countless ways, with different
lighting and points of view, until I could understand how to
accomplish something meaningful with withes, using computer graphics.
The virtual worlds Branqueza (Whiteness) and Negreza (Blackness),
resulted from this experimental process and are part of the
interactive virtual scenarios of the MindFluctuations brain-computer
dance spectacle[4].
My relationship with Arlindo led me to consider the artist as one who
explores, discovers, and realizes virtual realms of which they are not
sure. Therefore, the artist aims to exercise sensitivities, arouse
curiosities, and boost actions for themselves and others. The artist
is the individual who delivers universes of possibilities, provoking,
in the other, a quality of apprehension of something, leading the
consciousness to a state of availability emptied of everything, except
the pure sensation resulting from the effect that this something
produced. It blurs the boundaries between the quality that presents
itself and the reaction that it provides in the mind of the individual
who experiences it[5].
To conclude, I tell that the unforgettable memories I have from my
contact with Arlindo lead me to oscillate with malleability in a
flexible universe of multiplicities and numbers. Sometimes I recall a
sensitive fact, other times another. There are many incomplete
memories, resulting in a discontinuous becoming of sensations and
emotions.
In Brazil, Arlindo Machado was one of the most influential theorists,
defining the parameters for the evolution of techniques and languages
related to technical images. He outlined guidelines for developing new
poetic possibilities, encouraging experimentation, and influencing
more than one generation of artists, producers, and thinkers working
with video art, and computer art. Arlindo has always supported the
experimental adventure of creating poetic assemblages in the process
of becoming, allowing artists to organize, disorganize, reorganize,
and transform space-time environments, experiencing their endless and
unpredictable possibilities.
For me, Arlindo continues and will continue alive in my work since my
ways of thinking, and my world views entwine with his ideas.

produced. It blurs the boundaries between the quality that presents
itself and the reaction that it provides in the mind of the individual
who experiences it[5].
To conclude, I tell that the unforgettable memories I have from my
contact with Arlindo lead me to oscillate with malleability in a
flexible universe of multiplicities and numbers. Sometimes I recall a
sensitive fact, other times another. There are many incomplete
memories, resulting in a discontinuous becoming of sensations and
emotions.
In Brazil, Arlindo Machado was one of the most influential theorists,
defining the parameters for the evolution of techniques and languages
related to technical images. He outlined guidelines for developing new
poetic possibilities, encouraging experimentation, and influencing
more than one generation of artists, producers, and thinkers working
with video art, and computer art. Arlindo has always supported the
experimental adventure of creating poetic assemblages in the process
of becoming, allowing artists to organize, disorganize, reorganize,
and transform space-time environments, experiencing their endless and
unpredictable possibilities.
For me, Arlindo continues and will continue alive in my work since my
ways of thinking, and my world views entwine with his ideas.

MVA Webinar hosted by the Cultural Considerations Working Group
Agenda:
Introduction- Remo Rapetti
Prof. Stefano Catucci: ?What we talk about when we talk about the Moon?
Michelle Hanlon, Co-Founder and President, For All Moonkind:? Why
protect the bootprints? A look at the legal and social issues that
intersect the past and the future?
Arthur Woods will lead the discussion.
Speakers:
Prof. Stefano Catucci, University of Rome
Prof. Catucci teaches Aesthetics in the Faculty of Architecture and is
the author of the book ?Learning from the Moon? (Quodlibet, Rome,
2013. The book is available only in Italian). The book analyzes the
paradoxes of the imminent transformation of the Moon into a museum and
tries to better understand the logic of tourism and our fetishistic
relation with the remnants of our past.
Michelle Hanlon, Co-Founder and President, For All Moonkind:
For All Moonkind, Inc. is a non-profit organization that seeks to
protect each of the six human lunar landing and similar sites in outer
space as part of our common human heritage. Website:

details below of the funeral for frank popper at the Pere Lachaise in
Paris July 28
Franck Ancel will be representing Leonardo- as mentioned i am
compiling a list of short
memories/testimonials for those of you who met or worked with him=send
me by email
at rmalina@alum.mit.edu
and please if you are aware of any colleagues in the YASMIN network who have
passed away please tell us
on a somber note, we think we need to re-invent how we remember our
colleagues who
are passing away during the pandemic= the major pandemics in the last
millenia were
often documented in books and paper and monuments- digital culture has
little memory
because digital media are unstable- we as an art,sci.tech community how can
we invent new ways to remember for the future ?
Roger malina
the details for the funeral are appended
Chers amis,
je vous remercie infiniment de vos messages et de vos marques d'amiti?
envers Frank qui m'ont beaucoup touch?e. Un dernier hommage lui sera
rendu, lors de ses obs?ques, au cimeti?re du P?re Lachaise, le mardi
28 juillet. Une c?r?monie d'adieu aura lieu ? 13h dans les salles du
Cr?matorium, 71 rue des Rondeaux, m?tro Gambetta (01 43 15 81 81) qui
commencera salle Montm?jean o? nous serions heureux que tous ceux qui
le souhaitent puissent s'exprimer. Vos t?moignages seront pr?cieux.
Vous comptiez beaucoup pour lui, vous ?tiez sa famille intellectuelle
et amicale privil?gi?e dont il parlait souvent. Beaucoup d'entre vous
ne pourront pas se d?placer mais ils pourront me faire parvenir
quelques lignes ? lire devant tous. La c?r?monie se poursuivra salle
Landowski juste ? c?t? dans un moment convivial. L'inhumation aura
lieu vers 15h. A cette occasion, les cendres d'Aline Dallier, d?c?d?e
le 5 f?vrier 2020, seront jointes au cercueil de Frank dans le caveau.
Croyez que je serai tr?s ?mue d'?voquer avec vous cet homme magnifique
qu'a ?t? Frank,
Fran?oise Py
