Ils explorent la notion du temps, et l’impact du temps sur la vie de chacun d’entre eux. Durant les dix années ou presque depuis le début de ce projet, de nombreux événements majeurs ont eu lieu. Malgré tous les dé s, la pandémie a fait ressortir le meilleur chez bien des gens, leur capacité à agir pour aider leurs familles, leurs amis et leurs communautés. Également, certains ont continué de faire avancer la cause des droits de la personne, de la justice, de la paix et de l’égalité. Et au milieu de tout ça, le temps poursuivait sa progression inexorable, dont chacun d’entre nous porte les traces. Au deuxième tome de la publication Présent : passé / futur, rend hommage à celles et ceux qui nous ont quittés (...) et nous célébrons celles et ceux qui, avec patience et générosité, se sont engagés à poursuivre cette exploration du temps.

Résumé:
Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850.

Résumé:
Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850. "The little ice age" tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today's global warming. With its basis in cutting-edge science, "The little ice age" offers a new perspective on familiar events. Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration; how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World; how a generations-long subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution; and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming.

Résumé:
Une exploration pionnière de l'évolution des fonctions fondamentales des écrans dans l'histoire (du corps comme proto-écran aux dispositifs portables d'aujourd'hui), de leurs implications anthropologiques et philosophiques, et de leur impact profond sur la culture humaine, offrant un récit éloquent sur notre réalité médiatisée. Les écrans ne se limitent pas à montrer ou cacher : depuis la préhistoire, ils servent d'intermédiaires dans notre relation au monde en protégeant autant qu'en exposant nos corps. À travers une enquête historico-généalogique et une analyse aussi bien des technologies présentes que du futur proche, les auteurs déconstruisent l'idée selon laquelle les écrans seraient inséparables des images, que celles-ci s'opposeraient aux mots, ainsi que ce qu'ils nomment idéologie de la « Transparence 2.0 », à savoir la prétention de pouvoir éliminer toute médiation tant en communication qu'en politique. Ils montrent également que les technologies portables ne nous rapprochent nullement d'une supposée disparition des écrans, mais semblent plutôt dessiner un quasi-retour à l'utilisation de notre corps, cette fois-ci « augmenté », comme écran. Cela soulève de nouvelles questions relationnelles, éthiques et politiques, que le livre contribue à éclairer.

Résumé:
Qillaniq nous offre un art polyphonique et multidisciplinaire, riche d’improvisations. Un art inspiré des valeurs autochtones qui privilégient l’apport au bien commun sous toutes les formes. Un art qui exprime une joie profonde, le message d’artistes qui voient tous les possibles dans nos communautés, qui fait place aux gens qui font évoluer notre monde en faisant fi des normes dictées par la colonisation. C’est, surtout, un art qui célèbre ceux et celles qui brandissent l’amour devant les écueils.// The art in Qillaniq is multi-vocal, multi-disciplinary, and improvisational; it’s inspired by Indigenous values of contributing to community in as many ways as possible. It’s also an expression of radical joy, an exploration of what the artists tell us is possible in our communities, of holding space for the people who change our world – despite not always fitting into the norms of colonizing institutions. Most of all, it celebrates those who share love as an answer to difficulty. Qillaniq – that shimmering, bright light – honours the circumpolar world’s badass artists who tell us all that our existence is enough.

Résumé:
This exploration of built and yet-to-be-realized aquatic habitats shows how water has become architecture's next frontier. Whether they're floating on top, hovering over, or submerged beneath the water, each of the more than fifty structures examined here demonstrates an innovative use of water resources. Colourfully illustrated with photographs, drawings, and plans, this global and historic sampling includes Shanghai's Bionic Tower, complete with its own lake; Biorock, an artificial reef in the Indian Ocean; an undersea hotel where scuba divers can spend a comfortable night; and Sweden's Ice Hotel, where translucent frozen walls reveal the beauty of the Northern Lights. Each of these projects demonstrates man's ability to live in the water without interfering with nature's rhythms. Together they offer reassuring proof that today's architects are finding workable and appealing solutions to the problems of shrinking resources and growing populations.

Résumé:
Typography today exists in conflict with classical font design and contemporary influences such as analogue distortion, screen applications, street culture, deconstruction, hand lettering and illustrative letter forms. "Type one" not only presents an overview of the diversity in current typography, but also reveals where conventions have become established and where valid new approaches exist. In addition to a selection of typefaces and their applications, the book features articles by and interviews with international experts such as Jean François Rappot, House industries’ Andy Cruz and Ken Barber, Norm and Professor Tanja Diezmann. Topics range from the democratization of the font creation process by the computer to how much existing approaches are based on the same fonts. These texts are edited and commented by Silja Bilz, former project and product manager for Corporate type at the renowned Linotype library. While "Type one" provides practical context and examples, it also investigates the experimental and inspirational side of font design. This combination makes the book a resource for anyone seeking an up to date exploration and understanding of typography.

Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Like the 17th-century cabinet of curiosities to which its name alludes, Cabinet is as interested in the margins of culture as its center. Presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular columns, essays, interviews, and special artist projects, Cabinet's hybrid sensibility merges the popular appeal of an arts periodical, the visually engaging style of a design magazine, and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal. Playful and serious, exuberant and committed, Cabinet's omnivorous appetite for understanding the world makes each of its issues a valuable sourcebook of ideas for a wide range of readers, from artists and designers to scientists and historians. In an age of increasing specialization, Cabinet looks to previous models of the well-rounded thinker to forge a new type of magazine for the intellectually curious reader of the future.
