Résumé:
New perspectives on sound have generated a wave of scholarship in musicology, cultural studies, and the social sciences. But the equally important rise of sound in the arts since 1960 has so far been sparsely documented. This volume is the first sourcebook to provide, through original critical writings and artists’ statements, a genealogy of sonic pathways into the arts, philosophical reflections on the meanings of noise and silence, dialogues between art and music, investigations of the role of listening and acoustic space, and a comprehensive survey of sound works by international artists from the avant-garde era to the present.

Résumé:
A self-described accumulation of design-related stories that would make good dinner discussions with friends, this second instalment of Works That Work follows a thread of interest that begins with Kester Freriks’ focus on the noise-reducing landscape surrounding Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, then sees Ed van Hinte recounting the remarkable story of the Boeing 747, which was designed around the specifications of the intermodal container, the complex global impact of which is described by Marc Levinson. Globalisation is further investigated by Suzanne Wales and Peter Bil’ak, through smuggling, trade and the portable lamp, and Hans Wilschut finds fake trees in Johannesburg.

How to think about cities
$29.95

Résumé:
Cities are raucous, cacophonous, and complex. Urban policy makers and analysts often attempt to “cut through the noise” of urban disagreement by emphasizing a dominant lens for understanding the key, central logic of the city. This volume sees this tendency to selective vision as misleading and ultimately unjust: cities are many things at once to different people and(...)

Résumé:
Cities are raucous, cacophonous, and complex. Urban policy makers and analysts often attempt to “cut through the noise” of urban disagreement by emphasizing a dominant lens for understanding the key, central logic of the city. This volume sees this tendency to selective vision as misleading and ultimately unjust: cities are many things at once to different people and communities. It describes the various ways of seeing the functions and landscapes of the city as place frames, and the constant process of negotiating which place frames best explain the city as place-making. This approach highlights how any given stance opens up some lines of inquiry and understanding while closing off others.

Out of the introduction: "What you'll see in these pages to come will show you how some have creatively changed the throwaway cycle. Reusing is not only an environmental issue or prone only to physical objects. Ultimately, by not wasting raw materials you are also choosing to not waste somebody's labour and time. Before using anything new, we checked if there was already something available, be it a photo or a written text. You will recognize this in some cases, when seeing scanned pages with a little bit of extra "noise" intentionally carried over from their past lives. We are reusing ideas that are good and well worth spreading."

Résumé:
Bicycles as a means of transport in cities are playing an ever more important role. The reasons are: reduction of motorcar traffic, sustainable traffic planning, reduction of noise and exhaust emissions, enhancement of the value of public space, healthier form of transport, savings potential in national health services and infrastructure expenditure. This book illustrates urban design ideas and architectural projects which go far beyond purely redesigning road layouts; its eight essays focus on the trend in urban design, landscape design, and traffic planning, it introduces nine exemplary bicycle traffic concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, New York, and Oslo amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects.

Résumé:
In 1973, artist John Divola began the first of three highly ambitious and original bodies of work that together form this publication. The Vandalism series comprises black-and-white photographs of interiors of abandoned houses. Entering illegally, Divola spray painted expressive markings in the forms of dots, lines, and grids, creating a series of conceptual gestures that referenced “action painting” as readily as the graffiti that was fast becoming a cultural phenomenon. The following year, Divola began the Los Angeles International Airport Noise Abatement series, photographing a condemned neighborhood bought out by the airport to serve as a noise buffer for new runways.An extensive catalog of break-ins, the photographs record the evidence of violent entries: shattered windows, doors torn from hinges, a crowbar resting in the jamb of a door pried open. The final installment in this book, the Zuma series, is the artist’s documentation of the destruction of an abandoned beachfront property. While employing similar strategies of painting and intervention, the Zuma images add variation and complexity to Divola’s established themes as they incorporate color, elements of nature, and meditation on change. These cyclical images skillfully juxtapose romantic skies and sunsets with a seaside structure that, frame by frame, deteriorates into ruin as it is vandalized by the artist and others who eventually set it on fire. Divola’s art practice shares a tradition with conceptual artists such as Bruce Nauman, whose photographs are considered to be performance or sculpture, and Robert Smithson, who used photography to investigate the built environment.

Résumé:
This book highlights sound's invisible, disruptive, and affective qualities and asks whether the unseen nature of sound can support a political transformation. In ''Sonic agency'', Brandon LaBelle sets out to engage contemporary social and political crises by way of sonic thought and imagination. He divides sound's functions into four figures of resistance -- the invisible, the overheard, the itinerant, and the weak -- and argues for their role in creating alternative "unlikely publics" in which to foster mutuality and dissent. He considers issues of disappearance and hidden culture, nonviolence and noise, creole poetics, and networked life, aiming to unsettle traditional notions of the "space of appearance" as the condition for political action and survival.
