Computer-based technologies for the production and analysis of data
have been an integral part of biological research since the 1990s
at the latest. 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-Joerg Rheinberger, the science theorist
Christoph Hoffmann, and the artist Hannes Rickli. The conditions of
experimentation in the digital sphere are examined in four
chapters--"Data," "Software," "Infrastructure," and "in silico"--in
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.
