Summary:
"Architecture of invention" explores the experimental side of architecture through an architecture of books. It brings together ten experimental bibliographies conceived as a dialogue between expanded, spatial art and a critical, relational architecture that reflects on its own status. An intertextual and generative framework structures the project, producing narratives(...)

Summary:
"Architecture of invention" explores the experimental side of architecture through an architecture of books. It brings together ten experimental bibliographies conceived as a dialogue between expanded, spatial art and a critical, relational architecture that reflects on its own status. An intertextual and generative framework structures the project, producing narratives and cross-references among books and publications that are not necessarily contemporaneous or disciplinary. The ordering maps multiple cultural trajectories along a non-linear timeline marked by epochal leaps, ranging from avant-garde architecture to conceptual, radical, experimental and hardcore architecture. These constellations address themes such as construction and deconstruction, image and media, the body, the city, crisis, and critical practice.

From New York to New Delhi, from Shanghai to Cairo, Sorkin offers a sweeping assessment of the impact of globalization, environmental degradation, electronic media, rapid growth, and the legacies of modernist planning. Whether laying out, manifesto-like, eleven necessary tasks for urban design, providing a fresh take on the Disneyfication of Times Square, grappling with sprawl, or blasting the nostalgic prescriptions of "new urbanist" communities, Sorkin makes a compelling argument for an architecture and urbanism firmly grounded in both artistic expression and social purpose.

Summary:
Examining how monuments preserve memory, the essays demonstrate how phenomena as diverse as ancient drum towers in China and ritual whale-killings in the Pacific Northwest serve to represent and negotiate time. Connecting that history to the present, they explore not only how monuments have inspired travel and pilgrimage for millennia but also how new electronic media(...)

Summary:
"Intersubjectivity Vol. IV" explores the shifting stakes and responsibilities of intersubjective exchange—among individuals, between individuals and machines, and among machines—within increasingly networked social, political, and informational systems. While recent technological advancements highlight the advantages of decentralization, they also reveal how their functionalities limit our autonomy, guide us along paths dictated by capital, and even incite authoritarian tendencies. What tangible impacts does the digital realm impose on physical bodies, and who is most affected by these consequences? Through case studies, media analyses, object lessons, experimental texts, and other interdisciplinary methods of inquiry and critique, contributors examine our current frameworks and envision potential futures.

It reexamines work by artists of the 1960s to early 1980s, from Les Levine and N. E. Thing Co. to General Idea and Jenny Holzer, whose prescient grasp of information's significance resonates today. It also reinscribes into the narrative of art history technologically critical artworks that for years have circulated within new media festivals rather than in galleries.

Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Few expressions in the culture of human thought have the iconic stature, and emotive power, that the word "evolution" entails. Though commonly relegated to modern-day science, the concept of evolution is ingrained in representations of life and nature in the visual arts, and artists and scientists have much to share on the meaning of human origin, human existence and human fate. The present volume documents an online symposium, Visual Culture and Evolution, in which a distinguished panel of artists, curators, scientists, historians, educators, media theorists and critics participated in a lively, informative conversation on the interface of art and science.

In contemporary art, digitality has assumed a new type of presence—no longer only as a virtual sphere of sociality, but increasingly as a technological interface that structures our embodied experiences.

Summary:
Since the 2010s, the line between public and private, online and offline have increasingly become blurred by digitalization and social media. In contemporary art, digitality has assumed a new type of presence—no longer only as a virtual sphere of sociality, but increasingly as a technological interface that structures our embodied experiences. What is presented in an ''exhibitio''? And how should we write about the new types of post-digital images we are seeing (in them)? In ''Passing images: Art in the post-digital age,'' Marie France Rafael provides an attempt to write with art, rather than just about it. Rafael aims to retrace the living spirit of art and the procedural-performative experience of art in her writing.

Through craft, materials, techniques, and tools are investigated and their histories explored in order to reflect on the politics of labor and on the extraordinary complexity of the made world around us. This anthology offers an ethnography of craft, surveying its shape-shifting identities in the context of progressive art and design through writings by artists and makers as well as poetry, fiction, anthropology, and sociology. It maps a secret history of craft through lost and overlooked texts that consider pedagogy, design, folk art, the factory, and new media in ways that illuminate our understanding of current art practice.

This book is about visual thinking. Exploring a terrain where words meet pictures and formulas meet figures, the book foregrounds diagrams as tools for blurring those boundaries to focus on the production of knowledge as process. It outlines a history of convergence among diverse streams of data in real-time: from eighteenth-century print media and the diagrammatic procedures in the pages of Diderot's Encyclopedia to the paintings of Jacques-Louis David and mathematical devices that reveal the unseen worlds of quantum physics. The culture of diagram broke with the certainties of eighteenth-century science to expand the range of human experience. Speaking across disciplines and discourses, Bender and Marrinan situate our modernity in a new and revealing light.

Summary:
In this perceptive book, Myria Georgiou sets out to investigate the new configuration of social order that is taking shape in today’s cities. Although routed through extractive datafication, compulsive connectivity, and regulatory AI technologies, this digital order nonetheless displaces technocentrism and instead promotes new visions of humanism, all in the name of freedom, diversity, and sustainability. But the digital order emerges in the midst of neoliberal instability and crises, resulting in a plurality of contrasting responses to securing digitally mediated human progress. While corporate, media, and state actors mobilize such positive sociotechnical imaginaries to promise digitally mediated human progress, urban citizens and social movements propose alternative pathways to autonomy and dignity through and sometimes against digital technologies.
