The Institute for Advanced Study of ¿Media cultures of computer simulation¿ (MECS) assumes that for half a century computer simulations (CS) changed the knowledge and practice of science and society fundamentally. These changes in both the structure of scientific knowledge and the way in which it is understood, however, have not always been accompanied by a critical approach within the humanities; in the sense of reflection upon the theoretical, substantive, historical and epistemological conditions of the possibilities afforded by simulation. In its work therefore, the Institute will not only make a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the epistemologic-technical upheaval of CS, but also establish a site for the exploration of CS as a new humanities research field.In the first phase, the Institute has proposed the idea of CS as a humanities research subject. As an inherently transdisciplinary and ¿ from the perspective of humanities ¿ largely unexplored field. CS poses challenges that allow new concepts, methods, forms of argumentation and gestures of thinking to take effect. With this, an epistemology of digital sciences can be developed to help inform the socio-political relevance of media and cultural studies.The Institute¿s applicants come from the fields of physics and computer science as well as the media studies and humanities. With the help of an interdisciplinary team of staff and an international fellow program, case studies for comparative research and systematization of CS in different fields of knowledge and scientific domains were developed via the study of selected issues, range of events and initial publications.After the development of the field and the development of a network of researchers, the second funding phase is dedicated to comparison, consolidation and systematization of the Institute¿s findings, as well as reconnection to other discussions in the humanities. The aim is to develop methodological and conceptual principles to develop a technically informed cultural theory of CS. The key concepts of ¿policies¿, ¿temporalities¿ and ¿materiality¿ support this aim. Our research will be situated at the cutting edge of developments within these key concepts and their interdependencies. Working with these concepts our work will develop a cultural theory of CS in a two-fold way, simultaneously problematizing the possible conditions of current media studies and cultural theory on the subject of CS. The aim of MECS is therefore to continue the development of the topic within the humanities research community as part of a wider reflection on the basis of cultural theory.

高级研究研究所的计算机模拟媒体文化（MEC）假设，在半个世纪的计算机模拟（CS）中，科学和社会的知识和实践从根本上改变了。然而，科学知识的结构及其理解方式的这些变化并不总是由人文学科中的关键方法所涉及的。从模拟所提供的可能性的理论，实质性，历史和认识论条件的反思意义上。因此，在其工作中，该研究所不仅会为理解CS认识论技术动荡做出基本贡献，而且还为将CS作为新的人文研究领域建立了一个地点。在第一阶段，该研究所提出了CS的思想作为人文研究主题。从人类的角度来看，作为一个固有的跨学科和»。 CS的位置挑战允许新概念，方法，论证形式和思维的手势生效。因此，可以开发数字科学的认识论来帮助告知媒体和文化研究的社会政治相关性。该研究所的应用来自物理和计算机科学领域以及媒体研究和人类。借助跨学科的员工团队和一项国际同胞计划，通过研究所选问题，事件和首次出版物的研究范围和研究阶段的开发以及第二个融资阶段的开发，将第二融合和系统的汇总及其统一，及其在整合，及时，在研究阶段的发展之后，开发了知识和科学领域不同领域的CS的案例研究和CS的系统化案例研究。人类。目的是制定方法论和概念性原则，以发展技术知情的CS文化理论。政策，时间性和物质性的关键概念支持这一目标。我们的研究将位于这些关键概念及其相互依存关系中的发展的最前沿。使用这些概念，我们的工作将以两倍的方式发展CS的文化理论，简单地将当前媒体研究的可能条件和关于CS主题的文化理论的条件置。因此，MEC的目的是继续在人文研究社区中发展该主题，这是对文化理论基础的更广泛反映的一部分。
