Summary:
Thirty two large format photographic color prints focus on arctic and sub-arctic regions of Canada. Arnold Zageris captures the images using a traditional large format 4x5 view camera, technology that is unsurpassed for landscape photography in this digital age. The method allows for fine details and subtle nuances of form and texture to emerge. Although the colors and contrasts may appear enhanced, these works have no special filters or treatments. Zageris states his commitment is “to search and find the quality of light that can inspire the imagination.” His combination of traditional technique and methodical patience lends him the ability to show us a world we may not see otherwise.

Is he a Luddite?" asks a Rhode Island School of Design poster promoting a Chantry lecture. "Or is he a graphic design hero?"For decades this avatar of low-tech design has fought against the cheap and easy use of digital software. Chantry's homage to expired technology, and his inspired use of Xerox machines and X-Acto blade cuts of printed material, created a much-copied style during the grunge period and beyond.

Summary:
Good exhibition design involves more than the presentation of art, objects and ideas, and also more than the mere transmission of information: A successful and compelling concept must tell a story and contribute to a deeper understanding. It must not only allow but initiate and inspire communication and interaction between the exhibit and the observer. The(...)

Summary:
Good exhibition design involves more than the presentation of art, objects and ideas, and also more than the mere transmission of information: A successful and compelling concept must tell a story and contribute to a deeper understanding. It must not only allow but initiate and inspire communication and interaction between the exhibit and the observer. The interdisciplinary fusion of architecture, design, digital media, and scenography enables almost unlimited creativity. The permanent and temporary projects presented in this volume include museums, art exhibitions, and installations as well as the presentation of products at fair booths and showrooms. All concepts behind the projects are distinguished by creative design ideas and their elaboration.

Summary:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Summary:
"Skin" presents products, furniture, fashion, architecture, and media that are expanding the limits of what we understand as surface. Reflecting the convergence of natural and artificial life, it shows how enhanced and simulated skins appear throughout the contemporary environment. Designers today continually manipulate the relationship between the inside and outside of objects, garments, and buildings, creating skins that both reveal and conceal, skins that have depth, complexity and their own behaviours and identities. "Skin" features the work of such notable designers and architects as Greg Lynn, Petra Blaise, SPEEDO, Morphosis, Ross Lovegrove, Marcel Wanders, and many others. It also contains essays on artificial skin, digital surfaces, and a glossary of surface materials.

Summary:
The design of digital typefaces is an essential part of the modern media culture. Fonts are not only purveyors of content, but are often a central, identity-creating element in both commercial and artistic production. Innovations in the field of information technology enhance the significance of type design, since constantly changing design requests, in onscreen as well as print media, generate an inexhaustible demand for original designs. Subtext: Typedesign explores these developments through the designs of over 50 locally and globally active designers. Each contemporary typeface design presented is either closely or tangentially connected with Austria. Furthermore, renowned authors from various cultural and scientific fields discuss their relationship to type and its design.

Summary:
Beauty today is a paradox. The cult of beauty is ubiquitous but it has lost its transcendence and become little more than an aspect of consumerism, the aesthetic dimension of capitalism. The sublime and unsettling aspects of beauty have given way to corporeal pleasures and 'likes', resulting in a kind of 'pornography' of beauty. In this book, cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han reinvigorates aesthetic theory for our digital age. He interrogates our preoccupation with all things slick and smooth, from Jeff Koon's sculptures and the iPhone to Brazilian waxing. Reaching far deeper than our superficial reactions to viral videos and memes, Han reclaims beauty, showing how it manifests itself as truth, temptation and even disaster.
