The book uses saturation as an organizing concept, in part to suggest that current paradigms cannot encompass the complex realities of race. Saturation provides avenues to situate race as it relates to perception, science, aesthetics, the corporeal, and the sonic. In color theory, saturation is understood in terms of the degree to which a color differs from whiteness. In(...)

Summary:
The book uses saturation as an organizing concept, in part to suggest that current paradigms cannot encompass the complex realities of race. Saturation provides avenues to situate race as it relates to perception, science, aesthetics, the corporeal, and the sonic. In color theory, saturation is understood in terms of the degree to which a color differs from whiteness. In science, saturation points describe not only the moment in which race exceeds legibility, but also how diversity operates for institutions. Contributors consider how racialization, globalization, and the production and consumption of art converge in the art market, engaging such topics as racial capitalism, the aesthetics of colonialism, and disability cultures. They examine methods for theorizing race and representation, including “aboutness,” which interprets artworks by racialized subjects as being “about” race; modes of unruly, decolonized, and queer visual practices that resist disciplinary boundaries; and a model by which to think with and alongside blackness and indigeneity.

Summary:
In this publication, Sarah Jane Cervenak engages with Black artists and writers who create alternative spaces for Black people to gather free from interruption or regulation. Drawing together Black feminist theory, critical theories of ecology and ecoaesthetics, and Black aesthetics, Cervenak shows how novelists, poets, and visual artists such as Gayl Jones, Toni Morrison, Clementine Hunter, Samiya Bashir, and Leonardo Drew advance an ecological imagination that unsettles Western philosophical ideas of the earth as given to humans. In their aestheticization and conceptualization of gathering, these artists investigate the relationships among art, the environment, home, and forms of Black togetherness. Cervenak argues that by offering a formal and conceptual praxis of gathering, Black artists imagine liberation and alternative ways of being in the world that exist beyond those Enlightenment philosophies that presume Black people and earth as given to enclosure and ownership.

Summary:
L'auteur livre dans cet ouvrage le fruit de sa pensée critique et de son expérience au contact des œuvres d'art, qu'elles soient picturales, sculpturales ou architecturales. Ayant soin de respecter ce qu'il appelle les deux instances d'une œuvre d'art, l'instance historique et l'instance esthétique, il préconise avant tout de restituer la lisibilité d'une œuvre, de s'interroger sur ce qui, en elle, la constitue en tant qu'œuvre. Et il donne non seulement toute son importance à ce qu'elle fut dans son époque mais aussi à la manière dont elle a traversé l'histoire. Il suggère ainsi d'éventuellement conserver les traces du passage du temps, la patine, comme de laisser voir, de près, l'acte de restauration lui-même, dans le comblement des lacunes par exemple. Enrichi d'appendices décrivant des cas concrets, cet ouvrage donne ainsi la pleine mesure d'une prise en compte de l'histoire d'une œuvre et de ce qu'il doit en apparaitre pour le spectateur d'aujourd'hui. Depuis Brandi, la restauration consiste désormais en une démarche critique, qui évalue à la fois la dimension historique de l'œuvre et son essence artistique.

Summary:
Over the past decade, an artistic movement has emerged that draws on machine learning as both inspiration and medium. In this book, transdisciplinary artist-researcher Sofian Audry examines artistic practices at the intersection of machine learning and new media art, providing conceptual tools and historical perspectives for new media artists, musicians, composers, writers, curators, and theorists. Audry looks at works from a broad range of practices, including new media installation, robotic art, visual art, electronic music and sound, and electronic literature, connecting machine learning art to such earlier artistic practices as cybernetics art, artificial life art, and evolutionary art.

Summary:
Depuis des années, David Claerbout accompagne ses œuvres de commentaires sur la sphère visuelle et intellectuelle dans laquelle elles s'inscrivent. Au centre de ses réflexions figure la rupture de l'accord que nous avions passé de manière tacite autour d'images supposées objectives, car produites selon les lois de l'optique et de la photographie. Or, à l'ère des deep fakes calculés, instantanés et automatiques, ce qu'il nomme dark optics se passe de toute négociation avec le « réel », renouant paradoxalement avec la pure invention de la peinture figurative antérieure au XIXe siècle, voire avec les théories de la vision antiques et médiévales. Ces témoignages d'un constructeur d'images sont ici délivrées sous la forme d'un carnet de dessin.

Empruntant les stratégies radicales de l’extra-disciplinaire, cet ouvrage collectif qui rassemble les écrits de vingt-et-un artistes, hackers et philosophes, dresse l’inventaire des mutations les plus récentes du capitalisme offshore. De la politique des proxys à l’extractivisme spatial et à la marchandisation des communs, en passant par la citoyenneté par investissement et le marché de l’art, tout nous indique que la «gouvernance offshore» est devenue la norme, qu’elle est le capitalisme globalisé.

Summary:
Collectively referred to by the word tsuchi, earthy materials such as soil and clay are prolific in Japanese contemporary art. Highlighting works of photography, ceramics, and installation art, Bert Winther-Tamaki explores the many aesthetic manifestations of tsuchi and their connection to the country’s turbulent environmental history, investigating how Japanese artists have continually sought a passionate and redemptive engagement with earth. By focusing on the role of tsuchi as a convergence point for a wide range of creative practices, this book offers a critical reassessment of contemporary art in Japan and its intrinsic relationship to the environment. Situating art within the context of ecology and urbanization, this volume shows artists striving to explore and reprocess raw forms of earth beneath the corruptions of human activity.

Summary:
This book presents a collection of short essays that explore how we experience art and what it means to be an “observer.” Ranging far and wide, from Pina Bausch to RoboCop, from Bob Dylan to Vermeer, it uses encounters with specific artworks to gain entry into a world of fascinating issues—like how philosophy and science are represented in film; what evolutionary biology says about art; or the role of ethics, fakes, and copies in our experience of a work. Each essay arises out of an art encounter—in a museum, listening to records, or going to a concert. Carefully articulating the experience of each of these encounters, the book proposes that, like philosophy, art is a sort of technology for understanding ourselves.
