Engineering culture: logics of optimization in music, games, and apps by Morris, JW, Prey, R, Nieborg, DB

“…We hope our comparative approach reveals different conceptions of the term optimization, and that this term—in all its digital, financial, and cybernetic connotations—might prompt new ways of thinking about the interactions between content, (meta)data, platforms, and culture that have long shaped the circulation of cultural goods.…”

A function-based mapping of sensory integration along the cortical hierarchy by Wei, W, Benn, RA, Scholz, R, Shevchenko, V, Klatzmann, U, Alberti, F, Chiou, R, Wassermann, D, Vanderwal, T, Smallwood, J, Margulies, DS
