Why Jennifer Lawrence’s Butt-Scratching Incident Caused a Stir with Native Hawaiians
▻http://people.com/movies/jennifer-lawrence-butt-scratching-apology
Turns out the area where Lawrence was shooting, the Waimea Valley on the island’s north shore, has tremendous historical significance. “It was an archeological site,” says Hawaiian cultural expert Kahokulua Haiku, who advised the #Hunger_Games production team. “It’s an ancient Hawaiian living site and there are several hundred burial caves right in that area. The caves contain the bones of our ancestors—but not just any ancestors. They are called Kahuna. These were the astronomers, navigators, and doctors of the time. They were the Einsteins and Marconis of Hawaiian culture. And they were filming just a few yards away.”
Issues of indigenous rights are hot button issues in #Hawaii, where many native people have felt swamped by mainstream American culture and are keen to protect their heritage. Hawaii was an independent monarchy until 1893, when its last monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani, was overthrown by a party of American businessmen. Soon after, President Benjamin Harrison annexed the Hawaiian islands. Many Hawaiians have felt disrespected by the mainland ever since.
[…]
[Donne] Dawson [the Hawaiian state film commissioner] and others hope the incident helps outsiders understand that Hawaii is far more than a place to hit the surf. “It’s important for people visiting Hawaii, and certainly film producers, to understand that the native Hawaiian community is alive and well,” says the film commissioner “Although our kingdom was overthrown more than a century ago, a lot of what we’re experiencing now is a result of what happened to native Hawaiians all those years ago. It’s important for people to understand why these things are considered so egregious to native Hawaiians.”

Times Haiku
▻http://haiku.nytimes.com/about
How does our algorithm work? It periodically checks the New York Times home page for newly published articles. Then it scans each sentence looking for potential haikus by using an electronic dictionary containing syllable counts. We started with a basic rhyming lexicon, but over time we’ve added syllable counts for words like “Rihanna” or “terroir” to keep pace with the broad vocabulary of The Times.
Not every haiku our computer finds is a good one. The algorithm discards some potential poems if they are awkwardly constructed and it does not scan articles covering sensitive topics. Furthermore, the machine has no aesthetic sense. It can’t distinguish between an elegant verse and a plodding one. But, when it does stumble across something beautiful or funny or just a gem of a haiku, human journalists select it and post it on this blog.
#haiku #poésie #sérendipité (c’était déjà là @mona) ; question par contre : peut-on comme le fait le NYT qualifier de sérendipitaire le produit d’un #algorithme ?
peut-on comme le fait le NYT qualifier de sérendipitaire le produit d’un #algorithme ?
Je dirais que c’est la navigation et la sélection humaine dans le corpus de haïkus générés par l’algo qui pourraient être rapprochées de la sérendipité. Et encore, je vois pas trop de notion d’accident ou d’imprévu dans ce processus.
ça me fait plus penser aux techniques de cut-up de Burroughs et Gysin.

Intrigué par le titre de la série All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace , je découvre ce poème écrit par Richard Brautigan en 1967

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

Well, you can’t place faith in material things
Material things will fail you
A hurricane triggered by a butterfly’s wings
Your conspirators betray you
Don’t place faith in human beings
Human beings are unreliable things
Don’t place faith in human beings
Human beings or butterfly wings
Well, you can’t place faith in a new regime
That fascist faith will kill you
A hurricane triggered by a butterfly’s wings
Your conspirators betray you

Even though we sometimes fight
We both know we’ll be alright
Slumber parties late at night
Me & You
We are machines of loving grace
So take my hand lets fly through space
We can save the human race
Me & You
Through the darkness sparks of light
Speeding asteroids hold on tight
In our spaceship late at night
I Love You

Merci @simplicissimus... Lundi j’ai essayé de traduire « Machines of loving grace » mais pas facile, en fait c’est surtout « loving grace » qui pose problème. En discutant dimanche avec une californienne, elle me disait que l’expression n’était pas religieuse, mais plutôt un truc de hippie, une histoire de corps qui ne fait qu’un avec son environnement, à force de l’irradier de son attention bienveillante... #écologie

Via et par @shouhart, une traduction du poème de Brautigan :
Sous la haute surveillance de machines pleines d’amour et de grâce
Il me plaît à imaginer (et
le plus tôt le mieux !)
une prairie cybernétique
où mammifères et ordinateurs
vivent ensemble une harmonie
mutuellement programmée
semblable à de l’eau pure
effleurant un ciel sans nuage.
Il me plaît à imaginer
(tout de suite, allons !)
une forêt cybernétique
semée d’électronique et de pins
où les cerfs flânent en paix
au-dessus d’ordinateurs
pareils à des fleurs
aux pétales filés.
Il me plaît à imaginer
(il en sera ainsi !)
une écologie cybernétique
où nous sommes libres de tout travail
réunis à la nature,
mêlés aux mammifères
nos frères et sœurs
et sous la haute surveillance
de machines pleines d’amour et de grâce.
Le poème de Brautigan est largement commenté dans le livre de Fred Turner : Aux sources de l’utopie numérique, comme très significatif de la relation entre les communalistes et les technologies.
