The Teapot Opera - In Three Acts | Arthur Tress usato Fotografici Illustrati Fotografici

The Teapot Opera - In Three Acts | Arthur Tress usato Fotografici Illustrati Fotografici

"When the curtain goes up on The Teapot Opera there is no music. There are no people, either. But there are plenty of characters: there's the teapot, of course, and a white plastic stallion, a china harpist, a skull, an expresso machine, chess pieces, fruit, the Michelin Tire man, fragments of a classical sculpture, ancient books, a souvenir bust of Teddy Roosevelt, valves and gauges of all kinds, a Shriner's fez, a glass eyeball, billiard balls, and so much more."--Jacket flap.

I giocatori - Viaggio nell'Europa dei casinò | Nanni Delbecchi usato Viaggi e guide Letteratura di Viaggio

I giocatori - Viaggio nell'Europa dei casinò | Nanni Delbecchi usato Viaggi e guide Letteratura di Viaggio

Due amici, uniti dall'amore per il gioco, partono per un giro tra i casinò d'Europa, alla ricerca del "colpo grosso" che permetta loro di volare a Las Vegas per i campionati del mondo di poker. Durante il viaggio di due settimane, scandito in diciassette tappe - diciassette luoghi storici del tavolo verde - vedono con occhi nuovi i paesaggi e i personaggi della vecchia Europa, e si cimentano con tutto quanto può offrire un casinò: roulette, chemin de fer, black jack, più prosaiche slot machine. Da San Remo a Montecarlo, da Montreux fino a Baden Baden e Marienbad, un itinerario nei santuari, nei segreti e nelle tecniche di una passione senza tempo.

Dennis Oppenheim. Explorations | Germano Celant usato Arte Contemporanea

Dennis Oppenheim. Explorations | Germano Celant usato Arte Contemporanea

One of the most adventurous American artists working today, Dennis Oppenheim has centered his artistic investigations on the dialogue between art and the self. An active innovator since the sixties, Oppenheim has pioneered both body art and so-called land art. Most famous for his whimsical, large-scale installation pieces, Oppenheim has worked with a variety of mediums: from performance and video art, to three dimensional moving machine pieces, and sculptural works employing unorthodox materials. This book is a comprehensive compendium of Oppenheim's art, his most complete monograph to date, and includes an interview with the artist. From a giant metallic upside-down church, to a group of human-sized hot dogs in sleeping bags gathered around a campfire, Oppenheim's work is alternately strange, humorous, and fascinating.

Brains, Machines, and Mathematics | Michael A. Arbib usato Scienze Matematica e Ingegneria

Brains, Machines, and Mathematics | Michael A. Arbib usato Scienze Matematica e Ingegneria

This is a book whose time has come-again. The first edition (published by McGraw-Hill in 1964) was written in 1962, and it celebrated a number of approaches to developing an automata theory that could provide insights into the processing of information in brainlike machines, making it accessible to readers with no more than a college freshman's knowledge of mathematics. The book introduced many readers to aspects of cybernetics-the study of computation and control in animal and machine. But by the mid-1960s, many workers abandoned the integrated study of brains and machines to pursue artificial intelligence (AI) as an end in itself-the programming of computers to exhibit some aspects of human intelligence, but with the emphasis on achieving some benchmark of performance rather than on capturing the mechanisms by which humans were themselves intelligent. Some workers tried to use concepts from AI to model human cognition using computer programs, but were so dominated by the metaphor "the mind is a computer" that many argued that the mind must share with the computers of the 1960s the property of being serial, of executing a series of operations one at a time. As the 1960s became the 1970s, this trend continued. Meanwhile, experi mental neuroscience saw an exploration of new data on the anatomy and physiology of neural circuitry, but little of this research placed these circuits in the context of overall behavior, and little was informed by theoretical con cepts beyond feedback mechanisms and feature detectors.
