Résumé:
This book celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sámi homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic — from the continuance of longstanding practices such as storytelling and skin sewing to the development of innovative new art forms such as throatboxing (a hybrid of traditional Inuit throat singing and beatboxing). In this illuminating publication, curators, scholars, artists, and activists from Inuit Nunangat, Kalaallit Nunaat, Sápmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sámi rematriation and the revival of the ládjogahpir (a Sámi woman’s headgear), the experience of bringing Inuit stone carving to a workshop for inner-city youth, and the decolonizing potential of Traditional Knowledge and its role in contemporary design and beyond.

Résumé:
''Ad Astra'' is an artist book created as part of a public art project commissioned for the medical library of the University of Montreal Health Center (CHUM), in Montréal, Quebec. Involving the arts, science, and public participation, ''Ad Astra'' consists of an archive of messages that are poetically sent to the stars and to the future. The messages, collected from the hospital community, are transformed by means of a collaboration between art and neuroscience to generate astral images, and ultimately, a collective artwork representing a collection of prayers, hopes and fears. Rooted in deep human experiences,''Ad Astra'' gives voice to the range of emotions and the cycle of life and death that the hospital context is witness to daily. In compliment to the permanent multimedia artwork installed in the library, the book presents a tightly knit set of relationships among the various elements that compose the project, including messages, portraits, neurological diagrams, video-stills, citations, and texts. An introductory essay by Claire Moeder creatively illuminates the core interests of the project while the graphic design by Criterium echoes the installation with material means. The book is a nomadic archive and tactile object that was created to travel beyond the primary site of medical library, and ultimately towards the stars.

Résumé:
Les notions de "deep learning", de "machine learning" définissent aujourd'hui l'intelligence artificielle comme un nouveau paradigme établi aussi bien dans le domaine industriel, économique, militaire ou sociopolitique, que dans nos vies quotidiennes au travers d'innombrables applications, la reconnaissance faciale en étant la plus démonstrative. Il semblait donc primordial de redéfinir les sources historiques d'un développement continu des recherches sur la simulation de l'intelligence humaine depuis l'après-guerre et d'une interaction permanente avec les domaines de la recherche et de la création. C'est l'objet de l'exposition du Centre Pompidou et de cet ouvrage qui l'accompagne. Fruit d'une investigation progressive de la neurophysiologie, mais aussi de la cybernétique, le réseau neuronal s'est imposé comme l'archétype d'une définition de l'intelligence. La création de réseaux de neurones artificiels, base des simulations informatiques et d'intelligences artificielles défiant l'humain, jusqu'au projet de modélisation d'un cerveau artificiel, aura imposé des modèles algorithmiques souvent conçus comme des dispositifs de normalisation. Artistes, architectes, ingénieurs ou scientifiques s'emparent aujourd'hui de ces modèles pour introduire des variations, des mutations, qui enrichissent l'innovation et la prospective et confortent une distance critique et morale face à leurs usages économiques et politiques.

Résumé:
Certains ont entrepris de transgresser règlements et usages pour édifier l’espace qui les habite. En ces lieux de rupture, le rêve de bâtir se nourrit de lui-même : il est un art de vivre et une manière de philosopher personnelle et concrète qui s’enracinent dans l’imaginaire. La confrontation de ces oeuvres singulières nous montre comment l’imaginaire se symbolise à travers certaines figures formelles, spatiales, comportementales. À quels manques et désirs, à quelle crise, répondent ce besoin de créativité individuelle, cette appropriation démesurée de l’espace ? Là opère la fonction motrice de l’Imaginaire. « Bâtir, habiter, penser » ont des racines communes. Le choix d’un site, d’un volume, d’un motif, d’une matière est l’aveu et la reconnaissance d’une réalité intime. L’imagination matérielle est à l’oeuvre, et le recours à des jeux de miroir donne aux Bâtisseurs de l’Imaginaire cette extraordinaire possibilité d’être autre et autres dans un espace où il n’y aurait plus de séparation entre réel et imaginaire. Ces parcours, domaines, sanctuaires, monuments, jardins ne sont pas nécessairement habitables. Mais dans ces lieux de rencontre, les Bâtisseurs de l’Imaginaire matérialisent la volonté et le désir de renaître et d’appartenir à un monde plus relié, orienté, cosmisé. Contre le manque, l’oubli, la mort, bâtir rend possible le passage exemplaire d’un mode d’être profane et provisoire, à un autre pacifié qui participe d’une fraternité, d’une totalité et de l’éternité.

Résumé:
"The Arcades Project" (1927–40), the monumental unfinished work of cultural criticism by Walter Benjamin, is the German philosopher’s effort to comprehend urban modernity through the 19th-century Parisian shopping arcade. "The Arcades: contemporary art and Walter Benjamin" combines artworks with archival materials and poetic interventions to form an original, multifaceted response to this collagelike cultural text. Jens Hoffmann astutely pairs works by thirty-six well-known and emerging artists, including Lee Friedlander, Andreas Gursky, Pierre Huyghe, and Cindy Sherman, with the thirty-six “Convolutes,” or themes, in Benjamin’s text. Bound into the main volume is a graphic novelette, from the imagination of Vito Manolo Roma, of Benjamin’s dream the night before he committed suicide while fleeing the Nazis. Scholarly essays by Hoffmann and Caroline A. Jones, texts selected by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith, reproductions of Benjamin’s handwritten notes, and a list of the main Paris arcades discussed by him round out this extraordinary publication.

Résumé:
Ballpoint drawing has evolved into a thriving art form since the pen emerged as a writing tool in the 1940s, when the Hungarian journalist and inventor Laszlo Biro fled war-torn Europe and began manufacturing the pens in Argentina. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, as the ballpoint became cheaper and more accessible, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Nam June Paik, Louise Bourgeois, and many others, sketched with the pens. Today, those who make art with ballpoint pen are no longer confined by size or style. They draw on sculpture, wallpaper, canvas, architecture, and 50-foot sheets of paper, depicting a wide range of subjects - from psychologically charged portraits to mutant animals to abstract scribbles. This book features 30 artists from around the world who are currently creating masterpieces with ballpoint, and discusses their methods, the messages in their work, and their personal connections to the pen.
