What is the relationship between vision and sound in more‐than‐human environmental sensing? This article traces an ethnography of glaciologists' experiences with technological sensing systems that surpass human sensing capabilities, producing an expansion of sensory knowledge that enmeshes both imagery and acoustics. Sound and vision emerge no longer as separate modalities, but in a united vocabulary of sensing in which the human and the machine are collaborators, producing a multi‐eared and multi‐eyed system by which icebergs and glaciers are observed and perceived as a quickly morphing process, rather than as a static object. It examines the manifold aesthetic variations and conversions of data from acoustic sensing systems into sounds and images that work together to reshape the scientific imagination of the cryosphere. This process ultimately reveals how technology changes perceptions and how glaciers, human bodies, and machines become intertwined with each other in a more‐than‐human system that holds the promise to diversify knowledge.

Abstract “Anthropology of the Artificial” is a special section of articles by a collective of anthropologists, sociologists, digital media artists, and computer scientists that address the ever increasing encounters between humans and new kinds of machine systems. The contributions draw on a series of artistic and scientific research programs which call for new ways of thinking about the relations between human and artificial systems, focusing on anthropological encounters with artworks, software/hardware, and the public encounters with such systems in settings ranging from research labs to museums.

Abstract In this paper, I argue that monuments to mestizaje (miscegenation) in Puerto Rico reaffirm the myth of a harmonious mixture between the White Spaniard, Black African, and Indigenous Taíno. This racial triad, originally conceived in the nineteenth century, was institutionalized in 1956 by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture to legitimize the reformulation of Puerto Rico's colonial status. It was meant to foster a consensus‐driven nation‐building project through a depoliticized harmonious mixture of races. I analyze ten monuments to mestizaje that privilege the white European root of Puerto Rican identity and demonstrate how their visual discourse sustains the narratives of racial democracy in Puerto Rico.

Abstract Over the past two decades, the term “intelligent media” has surfaced to describe media that take on problematics of cognition, communication, and sensory perception loosely modeled after human intelligence. Taking the form of hardware‐software assemblages, these novel media demonstrate forms of autonomy that challenge human control and herald a complete redistribution of the sensible and agential. The aim of this article is to illuminate the shifting boundaries of nature and artifice as these figure in relations between humans and computational machines in the emergent computational culture of the 21st century. Its specific focus is on art‐making where the medium or materials of art have been dematerialized and figure as “intelligent” and generative in their own right. Based on a historical discussion of art‐making practices and the analysis of an artistic workshop organized by the authors, this article stakes out a much‐needed study of the other‐than‐human agency of artificial entities.

An analysis is made of coffee organizations as associative structures based on an organizational thread that optimizes knowledge and internal actions with the objective of transferring knowledge in innovation networks in the management of information in the coffee producers of Utcubamba - Amazonas - Peru. The proposed is instituted through an applied-basic analysis, approached with the technique of contrastation-explanatory with a succession design. Knowledge, information and communication, strong identity and rules of coordination and articulation are articulated as a source of innovation networks.

Recent legal changes in Ecuador have impacted non-financial cooperatives, prompting a study on their potential effects. Rooted in solidarity and sustainability principles, Ecuador's social and solidarity economy draws from indigenous traditions and social movements. The study aims to assess legal modifications, evaluate their impact on cooperatives, and analyze their role in the broader social economy. Challenges arising from economic diversity and reliance on primary exports call for a more supportive and sustainable economic framework, with solidarity markets and intercultural economic circuits playing crucial roles. Despite challenges, embracing solidarity and sustainability can lead to a more equitable and resilient social economy in Ecuador.
