With this text I wish to revisit a long-standing preoccupation of mine which addresses the extent to which the digital medium may have brought about a paradigm shift in creative process; one which has been effectuated through a conversion of the creative medium itself - from atoms to bits. As a visual practitioner, what is particularly significant to my inquiry is that this change in medium is deemed to have brought about a change in language that affects the very nature of autographic work which comes into being as visual output: Following Goodman’s definitions of allographic and autographic output (1976), McCullough (1996) asserts that visual artworks may now be considered to be allographic productions since they presently share the same attributes of notationally based allographic work, which has traditionally manifested only as music or as literary output. The result is a work environment which wide opens the doors to unprecedented levels of non-linear process and experimentation whilst engaged in the visually creative act
An AER Spike-Processing Filter Simulator and Automatic VHDL Generator Based on Cellular Automata
Spike-based systems are neuro-inspired circuits implementations
traditionally used for sensory systems or sensor signal processing. Address-Event-
Representation (AER) is a neuromorphic communication protocol for transferring
asynchronous events between VLSI spike-based chips. These neuro-inspired
implementations allow developing complex, multilayer, multichip neuromorphic
systems and have been used to design sensor chips, such as retinas and cochlea,
processing chips, e.g. filters, and learning chips. Furthermore, Cellular Automata
(CA) is a bio-inspired processing model for problem solving. This approach
divides the processing synchronous cells which change their states at the same time
in order to get the solution. This paper presents a software simulator able to gather
several spike-based elements into the same workspace in order to test a CA
architecture based on AER before a hardware implementation. Furthermore this
simulator produces VHDL for testing the AER-CA into the FPGA of the USBAER

Readers and Reading in the First World War
This essay consists of three individually authored and interlinked sections. In ‘A Digital Humanities Approach’, Francesca Benatti looks at datasets and databases (including the UK Reading Experience Database) and shows how a systematic, macro-analytical use of digital humanities tools and resources might yield answers to some key questions about reading in the First World War. In ‘Reading behind the Wire in the First World War’ Edmund G. C. King scrutinizes the reading practices and preferences of Allied prisoners of war in Mainz, showing that reading circumscribed by the contingencies of a prison camp created an unique literary community, whose legacy can be traced through their literary output after the war. In ‘Book-hunger in Salonika’, Shafquat Towheed examines the record of a single reader in a specific and fairly static frontline, and argues that in the case of the Salonika campaign, reading communities emerged in close proximity to existing centres of print culture. The focus of this essay moves from the general to the particular, from the scoping of large datasets, to the analyses of identified readers within a specific geographical and temporal space. The authors engage with the wider issues and problems of recovering, interpreting, visualizing, narrating, and representing readers in the First World War
