Summary:
No longer are work and leisure separate realms. These days, playing is work and work demands play. This gamification of the workspace uses points, levels, and feedback, aiming to improve the worker’s engagement, boost productivity, facilitate learning, optimise systems, and more. Through the production of playful work, gamification shapes identities that fit the needs of capitalism: enthusiastic, self-engaged, and self-exploitative subjects. This issue of ‘Volume’ is divided in two sections: ''Powerplay'', in which the renewed relations between work and leisure are explored, and ''Playground'', where the spatial implications of this recent focus on gaming are addressed.

This first issue of ‘Vesper’ is dedicated to the realities and unreleased imaginaries of the famous lagoon city. Venice is read as a paradigm of contemporaneity, the place where the architecture, arts, and theories have superlative dimensions: very slow, extremely long-lasting, super short, or overexposed. The journal collects projects, essays, and other views from various directions and perspectives, whether a reflection on the city, its architecture, music and theatre, or on Venice as a literary body in itself.

Texte Zur Kunst 116 : evil

(available in store)
Summary:
"EVIL," the theme of this latest issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST is often understood as simply the opposite of “good,” and as pure immorality, evil is everywhere today, and somehow also nowhere. It is the “other” par excellence; something we ourselves never are, but by which one always measures one’s own distance. “Evil is over there, not here, not with me.” Given its ubiquity(...)

Summary:
"EVIL," the theme of this latest issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST is often understood as simply the opposite of “good,” and as pure immorality, evil is everywhere today, and somehow also nowhere. It is the “other” par excellence; something we ourselves never are, but by which one always measures one’s own distance. “Evil is over there, not here, not with me.” Given its ubiquity today, we offer texts that investigate what this thing we call “evil” is, as it so often functions as the polar opposite of that which people hold to be just and right. Indeed, who could argue that point, and yet. In this issue, we look specifically at evil’s manifestations in the art world, and in film, politics, and theory, always with an eye toward evil as something potentially playful and ironic.

Summary:
A decade of work by Bernardo Bader is covered in this instalment. In that time, the Austrian architect has steadily built a reputation for his modern take on regional styles. Both the exteriors and interiors of his designs are often clad in wood, with structures framed by clean lines and set in alpine terrains, radiating warmth and comfort. Bader’s outspoken perspective on critical regionalism in architecture has drawn international praise, and he prefers to use locally sourced timber in his work. Presented here are more than fifteen projects, many of them houses, but also kindergartens, an alpine sports centre, an Islamic cemetery, a railway station, a chapel, a hotel, and more.
