... government ministries and developers relate the development of mines to the making of homes. Computer modeling tools have transformed prospectors’ relations with people and places by altering where and how they conduct day-to-day work. The valorization of model-work as an accessible, democratizing practice...

...” directly. 39 This idea of nature is becoming very hard to separate from the digital tools and media we use to observe, interpret, and manage it. Our ideas, our standards, for what is natural are distributed and maintained in digital tools and media like databases, computer models, geographical...

..., computer models can enhance and speed up scientific progress. But they are not meant to replace theory and observation and to serve as an authority of their own.” 24 18. Vaidyanathan, “Think Tank That Cast Doubt.” 19. Sedgwick, “Paranoid Reading,” 24 . For further theorization...

... Expansion Project. Recall that the US Army Corps of Engineers proposed a complex plan to mitigate the anticipated damage of dredging the Savannah River estuary. The plan was informed by computer models that predicted changes in key environmental parameters (salinity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature...

... inasmuch as it figures both as offspring and sterilizer of modernity. This can be clarified epistemologically, technologically, and ontologically. Epistemologically, the findings of modern techno-science (satellite data, intricate computer models, etc.) wielded by ESS bring Earth into view as a scientific...

... on computer models I decided that one day I would do a project looking at trying to manifest climate change photographically.” 4 Indeed, the extraordinary lengths to which he and his team have gone to produce the images of glaciers receding over time show precisely that this could never have been a case...

... “Daisyworld,” a thought experiment to demonstrate the power of plant life and albedo. 3 Cover a computer-simulated Earth surface with white daisies and the temperature drops; seed model Earth with black daisies and the temperature warms. The Earth, in other words, is highly sensitive to changes in albedo...

Dominant US biomedical policy storylines routinize technical accounting procedures and data analysis, recursively justifying administration through moralizations about fiscal and physical health. 12 Computer modeling and doctrinaire operations reiterate assumptions about self...

... of this initiative is Terra0, a forest that owns itself. Terra0 is an ongoing art project that sets up a prototype in which a forest can—in certain ways—negotiate its future. The creators of the project write, “A forest has an exactly computable productive force” 43 because the overall output of the forest...

I analyze the work of Soviet biologist Evgeni Shepelev as a starting point for this form of planetary mediation and discuss the multimedia installation The Place Where You Go...

... change. In this case we have a traveler going to these alternative futures and returning to our world to tell us of the alternative constructions. In this reworking of the utopian genre it is not a human traveler journeying to the future, but perhaps the computer models themselves that travel forward...

... be called an ecology, but in the (singular) science of ecology we simply call them models. Models, in this sense, are intended to bring together the observations, quantifications, computer programs, or experiments that describe the contextualized changes in their specific terms.

... For these lectoholotypes the specimen is lost and only the verbal, graphic, or genomic representations remain in the archive. As Bowker argues in his article, biodiversity as a scientific and political priority has been driven by the development of digital databases and the computer-powered research that creates and uses...
