Résumé:
"Figure/Ground: A Design Conversation", is a collection of six dialogues on design between Scott Johnson and William Fain, the principals of Johnson Fain Partners of Los Angeles. Covering a broad range of topics, the conversations center on such themes as the globalization of architecture, the impact of the Internet, the issue of "big architecture" vs. urban design, and the role of historicism in design. Along the way, Johnson and Fain find inspiration in jazz improvisation, Noam Chomsky, Roman urbanism, passive solar heating in China, Catholic monasticism, and Native American spirituality. The dialogues are illustrated with photographs of recent work by the firm, including their plan for central Beijing, and the new Native American Center in Oklahoma City.

Résumé:
What is architecture when computers redefine it? Two books explore the nature and potential of architecture in the age of artificial intelligence. Inspired by architect Fritz Haller (1924-2012), a virtual persona asks him about the architecture of the future. The first book uses artificial intelligence to network the Internet of Things into a new architecture. The second presents six works by Fritz Haller in the multidisciplinary light of the 2020s and shows them like icons that already contain what was only thought of later. The two volumes are neither historical nor analytical - they are visionary and projective and, in some respects, represent an experiment in themselves. They show an architecture that does rethink and does not evaluate.

Résumé:
In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our ''digital age'' is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialisation of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. ''Scorched earth'' surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.

Résumé:
«Le journal est un imprimé ; l'affiche est un acte. Un acte vaut mieux que l'écrit». Affiche-Action se propose d'explorer les pratiques politiques à travers l'affiche, trop souvent assimilée depuis le début du XXe siècle à la propagande par l'image. N'oublions pas qu'il s'agit aussi d'un écrit, coulé dans des polices de caractères, conçu pour être public. Outil de gouvernement efficace en temps d'urgence et de crise, l'affiche devient un média privilégié pour débattre, proposer, s'opposer ou résister. La Commune de Paris s'impose comme un moment clé de cette histoire, intimement liée à celle des démocraties, depuis la Révolution française, où une pluie d'opinions s'expose dans la ville, jusqu'aux révolutions actuelles, où Internet porte la rue.

Résumé:
Ce numéro est consacré à l’histoire des manipulations photographiques d’où résultent des images hybrides, soit composées de plusieurs photographies, soit mêlant la photographie à d’autres techniques d’imagerie. À la suite de récents travaux interrogeant l’histoire du photomontage sur le temps long, du XIXe siècle à la culture numérique actuelle, ce numéro propose une histoire parallèle de la photographie : une histoire dans laquelle la composition prime sur l’enregistrement. En étudiant la manipulation d’images chez les graphistes, les illustrateurs et les publicitaires, il s’agit de montrer comment le matériau photographique a pu être recombiné, recomposé, ré-agencé. L’actualité des pratiques vernaculaires du montage sur Internet fait l’objet d’une attention particulière, tout autant que les usages et discours des métiers de l’imprimé et de la communication visuelle.

Résumé:
From the earliest scratches on stone and bone to the languages of computers and the internet, "A History of Writing" offers a fascinating investigation into the origin and development of writing throughout the world. Commencing with the first stages of information storage, Fischer focuses on the emergence of complete writing systems in Mesopotamia in the fourth millennium BC. He documents the rise of Phoenician and its effect on the Greek alphabet, generating the many alphabetic scripts of the West. Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese writing systems are dealt with in depth, as is writing in pre-Columbian America. Also explored are Western Europe's medieval manuscripts and the history of printing, leading to the innovations in technology and spelling rules of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Résumé:
Identifying a recent shift in the dominance of photography, David Levi Strauss looks at the power of the medium in the age of Photoshop, smart phones, and the internet, asking important questions about how we look and what we trust. Offering a poignant argument in the era of ''fake news,' Strauss draws attention to new changes in the technology of seeing. Some uses of 'technical images' are causing the connection between images and belief (between seeing and believing) to fray and pull apart. How is this shifting our relationship to images? Will this crisis in what we can believe come to threaten our very purchase on the real? This book is an inquiry into the history and future of our belief in images.

Résumé:
''Digital Monuments'' radically explodes "iconic architecture" of the new millennium and its hijacking of the public imagination via the digital image. Hallucinatory constructions such as Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV headquarters in Beijing, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Zaha Hadid’s Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi are all introduced to the world by immortal digital imagery that floods the internet- yet comes to haunt the actualised buildings. Like holograms, these "digital monuments," which violently push physics and engineering to their limits, flicker eerily between the real and the unreal- invoking fantasies of omnipotence, immortality and utopian cities. But this experience of iconic architecture as a digital dream on the ground conceals from the urban spectator the social reality of the buildings and the rigidity of their ideology.
