Summary:
OASE 66 investigates the expression and use of architecture in science fiction and specifically in cyberpunk (cyberfiction). Science fiction, originally a literary and later a film genre, explores the relation between scientific and technological developments and their possible social-cultural influences and effects. Understanding science fiction as the twentieth-century venue for imaginative extrapolations of possible futures, and cyberpunk as a subcategory of science fiction dealing specifically with the information age, they both seem to offer an interesting arena in which to compare various articulations of the future architectural environment. With contributions by Lara Schrijver, Pnina Avidar, Gül Kaçmaz Erk, M. Cristine Boyer, Neil Spiller and Sidney Eve Matrix. Design by Karel Martens & Chantal Hendriksen; Werkplaats Typografie.

Summary:
Examining a wide range of art forms, Murray reflects on the rhetorical, emotive, and social forces inherent in the screen arts’ dialogue with early modern concepts. Among the works discussed are digitally oriented films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, and Chris Marker; video installations by Thierry Kuntzel, Keith Piper, and Renate Ferro; and interactive media works by Toni Dove, David Rokeby, and Jill Scott. Sophisticated readings reveal the electronic psychosocial webs and digital representations that link text, film, and computer. Murray puts forth an innovative Deleuzian psychophilosophical approach—one that argues that understanding new media art requires a fundamental conceptual shift from linear visual projection to nonlinear temporal folds intrinsic to the digital form.

Ensemble, ils feront de la firme le n°1 mondial de l'informatique. Dans son essai, John Harwood retrace cette saga au sein de l'espace moderniste réinventant le rapport entre intérieur et extérieur, et entre hardware et software. Des bâtiments et machines « IBM » à ses conseils pour le film 2001de Stanley Kubrick, Noyes aura façonné un univers d'entreprise au sens strict, identité homogène et monde clos héritiers du style international et du brutalisme américains, mais augmentés des bunkers SAGE, des tele-computer centers et des white rooms...

Face à la difficulté de s'établir en tant que femme cinéaste aux États-Unis du début du XXe siècle, elle invente un langage visuel à la croisée de la photographie et du cinéma. Du road movie ("Bicycle Trip", 1939) au roman photo ("American Girl in Italy", 1951) en passant par des nombreux reportages et le montage du célèbre film ''Little Fugitive'' (précurseur de la Nouvelle Vague), ses séries emblématiques sont empreintes de théâtralité, de mouvement et de narration. Au-delà de l'image en mouvement et en deçà de l’image fixe, son écriture photographique imbrique constamment ces deux temporalités.

Summary:
A much-anticipated look at one of the most dramatic and exciting urban transformations in America. This book tells the story of the more than twenty-five-year history of architect Eric Moss’s transformation of a once blighted warehouse district on the edge of Los Angeles—the Hayden Tract in Culver City. With stunning and dramatic interventions, more than fifty of the old buildings now host such forward-looking, avant-garde high-tech and graphic design companies as Nike, Converse, AOL, Ogilvy International, Go Daddy, and Kodak. The buildings have names like Beehive, Stealth, Slash and Backslash, and Pterodactyl, and the district has become a favorite for firms involved in the film industry.
