DESCRIPTION:Mario Carpo\nSplit Agency\nForm\, standards\, and authorship i
 n times of variable media\n\nAll that is digital is variable\, and today C
 AD-CAM or BIM notations are no less variable than any other digital "media
  object" (such as texts\, images or music). Next to the formal and economi
 c implications of the digital turn in architecture\, which have already be
 en largely assessed\, architects are now testing the shifting and at times
  uncontrollable nature of digital authorship. New forms of digitally suppo
 rted\, participatory agency are already taking shape\, and architects are 
 sometimes puzzled or alarmed by the devolution of authorship that these ne
 w digital tools will inevitably entail.They should not be.\n\nMario Carpo\
 n\nteaches architectural history and theory at the Georgia Institute of Te
 chnology (Atlanta\, GA).  He has taught and lectured in several universiti
 es in Europe and the United States\, most recently at the School of Archit
 ecture of Paris-La Villette and at Yale University\, and he was the Head o
 f the Study Centre at the Canadian Centre for Architecture from 2002 to 20
 05. Carpo's research and publications focus on the relationship among arch
 itectural theory\, cultural history\, and the history of media and informa
 tion technology. Among his publications\, Architecture in the Age of Print
 ing (The MIT Press\, 2001) has been translated into several languages. His
  next monograph\, The Alphabet and the Algorithm\, is forthcoming in 2011 
 (also with the MIT Press).
