Price:

Summary:
"The drunkard who comes out with an absurd order, the dreamer who suddenly wakes and with his bare hands strangles the woman sleeping beside him - are they perhaps not carrying out one of the Company's secret decisions? These silent workings, so like those of God, give rise to all manner of speculation." The affairs of Babylon are dictated by a lottery. Discreetly(...)

These silent workings, so like those of God, give rise to all manner of speculation." The affairs of Babylon are dictated by a lottery. Discreetly administered by a mysterious and seemingly omnipotent Company, the lottery can elevate citizens to positions of wealth and power or condemn them to the most shameful punishments. Taking this fantastical conceit as its starting point, Jorge Luis Borges's short story is a characteristically brilliant achievement - a haunting mediation on the nature of chance, paranoia and divinity.

Summary:
This book presents a number of experimental projects to gain experience in communication design as a symbolic and public practice. It proceeds from a critical position vis-à-vis the customary mediation of information. This is more necessary than ever now that design operates in the entertaining and marketing spectacle organized by the neo-liberal world order as an instrument for the colonization of human existence. Unlike the classic form of visual communication, the dialogic approach is a connective model of visual rhetoric with a polemic nature and polyphonic visual form. A storytelling structure that seeks to reveal the opposing elements of the message and opts for active interpretation by the spectator.

Summary:
The undead of contemporary painting, avant-garde populism, photography courting stupidity, fraught networking, synthetic atmospheres, displaced abstractions, and the mediation of pain: these are among the subjects treated in this collection of essays by art historian and critic Ina Blom. Drawing on Blom's familiarity with the contemporary art scene as well as the archives of twentieth-century avant-garde art, these texts share a pull towards artistic projects that are not redemptive or exemplary but that rather convey a sense of—often unheroic—trouble. Leaning into ambivalence as a methodology of criticism, Blom takes a particular interest in the detours, doubts, and difficulties that run alongside avant-garde art’s more constructively hopeful desires for transformative innovation and change.

Summary:
This is a compilation of the dialects of reuse. Its proposition is that an obsolete entity is not only a site of depredation, it is a condition for mediation: a location for research and design processes for meaningful change through reuse.

In other words, the creative re-designation of all existing matter. This publication characterises centuries of these practices, and specifies their relevance to the 21st century. Our time will be characterised by its responses to the challenge of climate emergency, and to the need for social justice. It is a resource: lexicon of language, an expression of vocabularies, and a glossary of terms used to distinguish the transformation of the existing, into something new.

Summary:
For Bernard Tschumi, "drawing is thinking" and "being with a piece of paper and a pen does not feel like working. It can be sheer bliss", he writes, "seeing thought materialise itself in front of your eyes through the almost unconscious mediation of your hand. It is a form of notation of the mind." This collection of previously unpublished drawings, diagrams, and other(...)

Notations (Diagrams & Sequences) offers a unique view into the working process of Bernard Tschumi and his office.
