Summary:
In our culture, in which the media play a predominant role, there is an increasing emphasis on achieving visibility and transparency. Openness and communication are subservient to that visibility, and even seem to coincide with it more and more emphatically.

Summary:
In our culture, in which the media play a predominant role, there is an increasing emphasis on achieving visibility and transparency. Openness and communication are subservient to that visibility, and even seem to coincide with it more and more emphatically. At the same time, both notions form the foundations for social order and political power. In our over-visualized culture, however, it seems as if every message or social agenda is being squeezed out in favour of styling, commerce and fashion. What position does art occupy in this, or what position should it occupy? In "Open" 8, guest editors Willem van Weelden and Jan van Grunsven write a general introduction, Brian Holmes explores (in)visibility as a tactic in art, and Jouke Kleerebezem asks who actually decides about (in)visibility in the public space; Camiel van Winkel writes over the visual deficit of contemporary culture; Dieter Lesage critically examines the proposals by OMA/AMO for a new iconography of Europe; Henk Oosterling investigates the FBI's prosecution of the Critical Art Ensemble; Jorinde Seijdel considers how media images are used as evidence for social and political events. "Open" 8 includes interviews with Arno van der Mark of DRFTWD, an Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary design bureau, and with the French research organization Bureau d'études, as well as an account of a roundtable discussion about a possible new legitimation for academic training in 'art and the public space'. The cahier also presents a column by the Belgian architect/author Wouter Davidts, photographic essays and book reviews.

Summary:
“The revolution will be Twittered!” declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in The Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy. Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of “Internet freedom” are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.

The archive, traditionally a body of documents or a site for the preservation of documents, changed over the centuries to encompass, often concurrently, a broad but interrelated number of practices not traditionally considered as archival. Archives now consist of not only documents and sites but also artworks, installations, museums, social media platforms, and mediated and mixed reality environments. Giannachi tracks the evolution of these diverse archival practices across the centuries.

Summary:
Issue 38: Choreography inquires into how memories, histories, and rituals transform individuals into groups, words into policies, threads into textures, notes into dances, gestures into positions. Today, choreography thrives not only on stage but through social media, where short videos compress movement into consumable poses—endlessly repeated and algorithmically rewarded. Here the body mirrors Mark Fisher’s architecture of capitalist realism: gestures circulate even as they are emptied of meaning, as if there were no alternative but to keep performing. It is a dance of reflexive impotence, where participation feels inevitable and refusal unimaginable.

Fusing references to Minimalism, Art Brut and graffiti with a canny grasp of contemporary and pop culture, Ruby's accumulative approach addresses the overproduction of information, neurosis and paranoia, conflicts between individual impulses and mechanisms of social control, urban violence, consumption, anxiety and the need for control that characterizes contemporary Western society. This is the most comprehensive reference on this rapidly emerging artist's work to date.

Summary:
David Levi Strauss is a writer whose visual and intellectual sensibilities are both acute and expansive. His trenchant writings on photography and photographers have been collected for this volume from a broad range of magazines, including Aperture, Artforum, and The Nation. In "Between the eyes: essays on photography and politics", Strauss tackles subjects as diverse as "Photography and propaganda," the imagery of dreams, Sebastião Salgado’s epic social documents, and the deeply personal photographic revelations of Francesca Woodman. The timely issue of photographic legitimacy is addressed in the essay "Photography and belief," and in "The highest degree of illusion," Strauss discusses the media frenzy surrounding the events of September 11. As our world is shaped more and more by images and their slipperiness, what he calls a media "pandemonium" in its root meaning of "the place of all howling demons," we need a mind and voice like Levi Strauss's to bring clarity to our vision.
