Résumé:
What if every vista, every island—indeed, every geographical feature on Earth—could be viewed as an art object? In ''Living Surfaces'', Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jussi Parikka explore how the surface of the Earth has, over the last two centuries, become known and perceived as an environment of images.

Résumé:
What if every vista, every island—indeed, every geographical feature on Earth—could be viewed as an art object? In ''Living Surfaces'', Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jussi Parikka explore how the surface of the Earth has, over the last two centuries, become known and perceived as an environment of images. ''Living Surfaces'' features a range of case studies from eighteenth-century experiments with and observations of vegetal matter, photosynthesis, and plant physiology to twenty-first-century machine vision and AI techniques of calculating agricultural and other landscape surfaces. Mapping these different scales of vegetal images, Gil-Fournier and Parikka help us understand core questions that pertain to the artistic and architectural reference points for the Anthropocene.

Résumé:
In 1962, Place Ville Marie, Montreal’s cross-shaped office tower and underground shopping mall—named after the French Catholic settlement of unceded Mohawk territory that became the colonial city—opened to the public as the Commonwealth’s tallest ''nerve centre'' and ''breathing machine.'' The same year, Silvan Tomkins, the father of affect theory, published Volume I of(...)

Résumé:
In 1962, Place Ville Marie, Montreal’s cross-shaped office tower and underground shopping mall—named after the French Catholic settlement of unceded Mohawk territory that became the colonial city—opened to the public as the Commonwealth’s tallest ''nerve centre'' and ''breathing machine.'' The same year, Silvan Tomkins, the father of affect theory, published Volume I of ''Affect imagery consciousness'', which exuberantly draws on the then-sensational cybernetic brain-computer metaphor. 1962 also saw the publication of ''Story sequence analysis'' by Magda Arnold, a luddistic and devoutly Catholic psychologist who mothered the monumental cognitive appraisal theory of emotion. ''Modernist affect grid’s'' essay-poems triangulate these events as they emerge amidst the Cold War tech race’s paranoid and projective ambition.

The grammar of ornament: a visual reference of form and colour in architecture and decorative arts

Résumé:
First published in 1856, ''The Grammar of Ornament'' remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809-1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color.

Résumé:
First published in 1856, ''The Grammar of Ornament'' remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809-1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color. Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.

Funny, sexy, exotic and a bit scandalous, this book brings together all of London-based photographer Juergen Teller's images for Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2008 campaign. In typical fashion, Teller photographed the collection by creating a highly theatrical mis-en-scene which involved the collaboration of not only the models but the legendary designer herself.(...)

Résumé:
Funny, sexy, exotic and a bit scandalous, this book brings together all of London-based photographer Juergen Teller's images for Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2008 campaign. In typical fashion, Teller photographed the collection by creating a highly theatrical mis-en-scene which involved the collaboration of not only the models but the legendary designer herself. Borrowing the theme, The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search For God from George Bernard Shaw's controversial 1932 novel of the same name--which is engagingly excerpted here--this collection has a strangely riveting quality that is enhanced in Teller's suggestive photographs by such props as plantains, tribal masks, tropical birds, machine guns, spears and various exotic animal hides.

Résumé:
With nearly 300 archival photographs, drawings, and original floor plans, Houses of Missouri, 1870–1940, offers an intimate tour behind the facades of 45 purely American houses. Among these are Greystone, the pastoral Gothic cottage of Major Emory Foster in Pevely; Oak Hall, the opulent mansion of the legendary Kansas City Star publisher William Rockhill Nelson; the iconoclastic “machine in the prairie,” Samuel Marx-designed Ladue residence for department store magnate Morton May; and Chatol, the striking Art Moderne “farmhouse” in rural Boone county. The authors bring to life the fortunes, motivations, and aspirations of their wealthy and upstanding house owners who rigorously defined what was “suitable” and respectable living in America’s heartland.

Résumé:
« Back Office no2 » aborde les notions d’indexation, de tri et de représentation des données numériques. La faculté à stocker et à traduire l’information en entités discrètes est une caractéristique fondamentale de l’ordinateur. La mise en mémoire d’opérations de calcul et la capacité à les exécuter sont ainsi au cœur de la « machine de Turing » – conceptualisée puis élaborée au tournant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’ordinateur comme principe d’ordonnancement du monde s’inscrit dans la très longue histoire des supports de mémoire (les « hypomnemata » de Michel Foucault) : écrits, cartes, index, sites Web, revues, bases de données, archives en ligne, chaînes de blocs, etc., qui constituent autant de tentatives d’inscription de la complexité du réel.

Dans l'ancienne usine hydro-électrique du Bazacle, Claudia Comte a dessiné et produit une mise en scène immersive pour ces objets, temporairement solidaires d'un même effet d'ensemble. Le texte de Thierry Leviez replace son intervention dans la perspective d'une généalogie, évoquant successivement sept expositions d'objets, des salons conçus par Lily Reich pour le Werkbund aux innovations de Philip Johnson au MoMA et jusqu'aux expérimentations de Richard Hamilton à l'ICA.
