Summary:
''Everything_2'', the 4-years-in-the-making sequel to Kenta Cobayashi’s ''Everything_1'', which launched the Japanese photographer’s career towards international museums and galleries and into the hands of fashion brands like PUGMENT, dunhill and Louis Vuitton. Cobayashi has developed his unique visual aesthetic into an eclectic, colorful, expressive style that makes liberal use of digital manipulation techniques to glitch and alter his photographs. Cobayashi filters his impressions of metropolitan scenes and scenery, fashion and faces using technology, history and his own sensibility to create era-defining images, as he probes into the ability of photography (literally written as ''copied reality'' in Japanese) to depict truth. ''Everything_2'' has been printed using Kaleido® technology to ensures a closer RGB fidelity, even in the offset realm, showcasing the vibrant tonal range evident in Cobayashi’s work.

Tokyo Papers’ comprises a collection of 41 monoprints created by Dutch graphic designer and typographer Karel Martens between 2019 and 2020. In 2018, Martens received a package from artist-curator Pierre Leguillon that contained filled-in Japanese forms which he had found at a street market in Tokyo. Martens was intrigued by the collection of thin paper with a rectangular black-blue layer of carbon on the back. In 2019 he started to print on these back sides, but because the overprinting on the carbon layer caused unwanted damage, he switched to printing them on the front sides as well. “The closing image is related to Tokyo in a different way,” he explains. + A selction of portraits from the digital guest book, collected during the exhibition 'Karel Martens : Still Moving', at Platform-L in Seoul.

Summary:
L’hyperville n’est pas la très grande ville, la cité tentaculaire noire et repoussante des XIXe et XXe?siècles. L’hyperville est plutôt un territoire encastré dans une échelle territoriale multiscalaire qui, du local au global, possède des variations rendues possibles par les réseaux, où le digital joue un rôle important de coalescence des initiatives. L’hyperville va donc du village à la métropole, formant ainsi autant de configurations différentes. Entendue également comme un régime d’engagement urbain, l’hyperville sera, dans cet ouvrage, approchée par la mise en œuvre concrète d’une contribution de tous ses acteurs. L’hyperville présuppose un sens renouvelé de la coopération et de l’association humaine en lien avec une dynamique de l’innovation sur des territoires qui apparaissent dans les sphères du travail, du loisir, de l’habitat, des transports, de la connaissance.

Summary:
This highly visual investigation shows the complex nature and enormous impact of recent developments in our information society: a transformation produced by the irresistible combined expansion of digital technology and telecommunication networks. The urban space is a privileged laboratory for observing and experiencing the density of signs and their multiple frameworks: Signage, Giant Screens, Signboards, Flags, Poster Displays, Architecture and Advertisement, Surveillance Technologies, Tracking Devices, etc. Eric Sadin started this project during a residence in Kyoto, Japan, then enlarged the focus of the inquiry to further Asian, European, and American cities as Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York. The result is a fascinating visual journey in 2000 colour illustrations with explanatory captions, structured into some 100 topics and analysed in brilliant theoretical texts providing the necessary background.

Summary:
Collage is an artistic language comprising found images, fragmentary forms, and unexpected juxtapositions. While it first gained status as high art in the early twentieth century, the past decade has seen a fresh explosion of artists using this dynamic and experimental approach to image making. Organised in an A-Z sequence by artist, the book features both well-known collagists, and a plethora of lesser-known names deserving of greater attention. Taking a broad definition – from analog cut-and-paste compositions and photomontages to digital composed imagery and animations – Vitamin C+ showcases 108 living artists who employ collage as a central part of their visual-art practice, as selected by 69 leading experts, including museum directors, curators, critics, and collectors. The survey also features an engaging and informative introduction by Yuval Etgar, an internationally renowned expert in the area.

A lively tour through experimental Chinese photography from the early 1990s to today The past thirty years were dynamic, transformative decades in Chinese photography.

A Window Suddenly Opens reveals the key role that photography has played in questioning and refashioning the aesthetic and social status quo of modern Chinese society for the past three decades. Alongside prescient works by Cao Fei, Lin Tianmiao, Rong Rong, Song Dong, Wang Qingsong, Zhang Huan, Zhang Peili, and many other artists, essays and interviews by scholars and curators explore the history of experimental photography in China and the artistic transformations of the digital age.
