In 1965 he restored the term "intermedia" to the English language, giving it new dimension to recognize the dissolution of boundaries between traditional modes of art-making and the open field for new forms that cannot be compartmentalized. His own contributions to intermedia are many - as a participant and instigator of happenings, as writer and composer straddling traditional and vanguard forms, among others - but it was Something Else Press (1963–74) that redefined how "the book" could inhabit that energized, in-between space.

Summary:

Du Bois offered a view into the lives of black Americans, conveying a literal and figurative representation of "the color line." From advances in education to the lingering effects of slavery, these prophetic infographics—beautiful in design and powerful in content— make visible a wide spectrum of black experience. ''W. E. B. Du Bois's Data Portraits'' collects the complete set of graphics in full color for the first time, making their insights and innovations available to a contemporary imagination. As Maria Popova wrote, these data portraits shaped how "Du Bois himself thought about sociology, informing the ideas with which he set the world ablaze three years later in ''The Souls of Black Folk''.

Summary:
We now have the technology to reach nearby planets. Even though many long-term technical issues still need to be resolved to create the conditions for a permanent, self-sustaining human life on another planet, imagining humans as a multiplanetary species is no longer merely the stuff of science fiction. Against this backdrop, "Planetary Echoes" considers the place of this dream of human life on other planets in the arts, literature and sciences at the beginning of the 21st century. In this volume, a broad, interdisciplinary list of contributors (scientists, astronauts, designers, philanthropists, inventors, artists and curators) weighs in on the imaginable possibilities of space settlement. The list of contributors ranges from Buzz Aldrin to Richard Branson to Norman Foster, with many more perspectives on offer a list eclectic enough to match the eccentricity of the human dream of colonizing outer space.

Architectes, urbanistes, agriculteurs, écologues, ingénieurs, entrepreneurs, historiens, géographes, sociologues..., réunis autour de l’agence d’architecture SOA, reviennent sur l’exceptionnel patrimoine agricole disparu au cours du XXe siècle, ainsi que sur les mutations sociales, économiques et territoriales qui ont profondément bouleversé l’organisation des rapports ville-nature-agriculture. À partir des formes ordinaires de l’agglomération parisienne – grands ensembles, lotissements, zones d’activités – cette étude invite à une revalorisation des sols par les activités agricoles des fermes existantes ou à créer, et à structurer un réseau de nouvelles centralités civiques à l’échelle métropolitaine.
