Following this week announcement by curator Carlo Ratti (CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati), about the 2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture, we’re happy to announce that fabric | ch will take part to it.
We’ll post more until May about our contribution, among many voices, to this year’s “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” Biennale #fabricch #architecture #contemporary #planetary #intelligens #intelligence #computational #natural #material

Die Erforschung der Abwärtsspirale – Dr. Jochen Michely erhält Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für seine Depressionsforschung. Mit Methoden der Computational Psychiatry untersucht der Psychiater von der #CharitéBerlin, wie Stimmung und Kognition sich beim Menschen auf neurobiologischer Ebene gegenseitig beeinflussen. Damit will er der Ursache von Depressionen näherkommen. Mehr dazu hier: charite.de/forschung/themen_fo

Yes. Rosen distinguished between #modeling and #simulation, arguing that the latter is not based on a genuine form of modeling relations.
So, as I've said, he questions the validity of using #computational approaches in biology, not reductionism per se, which is a much larger philosophical topic explained in another Wikipedia article😀 .

If you want to start your own research group in NRW (a state in Germany) the Return program ("Rückkehrprogramm") may be for you. For details follow the link below. In short: you have lived in Germany before, have spent some time abroad as postdoc, and you are doing / planning work in computational research (official topic: "future computing"). Deadline January 9, 2025. Please boost.
