This not only applies to genomics and its offshoots but also to less conspicuous subsections such as ecology. But little consideration has been given to how this new technology has changed research practically. How and when do data become questionable? To what extent does necessary infrastructure influence the research process? What status is given to software and algorithms in the production and analysis of data? These questions are discussed by the biologists Philipp Fischer and Hans Hofmann, the philosopher Gabriele Gramelsberger, the historian of science and biology Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, the science theorist Christoph Hoffmann, and the artist Hannes Rickli. The conditions of experimentation in the digital sphere are examined in four chaptersââData,â âSoftware,â âInfrastructure,â and âin silicoââin which the different perspectives of the discussion partners complement one another. Rather than confirming any particular point of view, Natures of Data deepens understanding of the contemporary basis of biological research. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Research $x Technological innovations. 650 0 $a Information theory in research. 650 0 $a Information science. 650 0 $a Information storage and retrieval systems. 650 0 $a Information visualization. 650 0 $a Art and science. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717022614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E2EA41ABC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
