Résumé:
Avec les Datascapes, Joan Fontcuberta explore les nouvelles fonctions de la photographie numérique dans deux projets fort convaincants qui font magnifiquement délirer des programmes informatiques. Les Orogenèses forment une série de paysages grandioses générés à partir de chefs-d'œuvre de la peinture et de la photographie - Cézanne, Riopelle, Stieglitz, etc - réinterprétés par un logiciel d'images de synthèse conçu pour des applications scientifiques et militaires. Dans les Googlegrammes, l'artiste et les visiteurs utilisent le moteur de recherche bien connu pour élaborer de grandes photomosaïques constituant une élégante métaphore des liens entre les médias de masse et notre inconscient collectif. Les deux séries proposent une analyse approfondie des systèmes de fabrication et de circulation des images numériques, jumelée à une critique ironique de la culture informatique. Ces œuvres montrent comment l'histoire de l'art, la culture populaire et Internet conditionnent l'expérience et les pratiques postphotographiques.

En observant les mutations parallèles de l’économie financiarisée à l’ère des cryptomonnaies, les œuvres et les textes ici réunis cherchent à saisir, à penser cette nouvelle iconomie de la visibilité.

If Mars is the answer, what is the question? Who wants to live forever? The world of tomorrow is shaped by emerging design and the technology of today. Bringing together a range of objects either newly released or in development, "The Future Starts Here" begins to imagine where our society might be headed. Cute but intelligent robots, massive unmanned aircraft that deliver internet access, crowdfunded buildings, tools printed in space, mysterious black boxes that understand human genetic codes--how can these objects affect the way we live, learn, and love? And how are they challenging our understanding of what it means to be an individual, a citizen, a crowd, or a species?

If architecture is the construction of space between people, what happens when that space exists in a virtual world? That question is the starting point for this collection of revolutionary projects by a new generation of designers. The book begins by examining the important issues that have emerged as technology reshapes our idea of place and proceeds to present the four winning projects from the first architecture competition held within the explosively popular Internet community known as Second Life. Chosen for their inventiveness and aesthetic excellence, these structures a cloud that can be inhabited; a meta-museum; an interactive sound scape; and a snow palace of discarded objects illustrate the mind-bending possibilities of digital design. In the book s final section, media artists share their real-time experiences conceptualizing and creating projects for the virtual world.

From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California, growing up with a mentally ill sibling who often sapped her family of emotional capital, to New York's downtown art and music scene in the eighties and nineties and the birth of a band that would pave the way for acts like Nirvana, as well as help inspire the Riot Grrl generation, here is an portrait of a life in art. Exploring the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced Gordon, and the relationship that defined her life for so long, Girl in a Band is filled with the sights and sounds of a pre-Internet world and is a deeply personal portrait of a woman who has become an icon.

Résumé:
Vers 2005, Michel Campeau, sensible au virage numérique, entreprend de photographier les chambres noires, ces laboratoires qui constituent les fondements d’une photographie argentique en voie de disparition. Parallèlement, il collectionne la photographie vernaculaire et poursuit son travail créatif à travers la photographie des autres, constituant des collections de photographies anonymes ou de fonds qu’il déniche sur Internet ou au gré de ses déplacements. Il pointe ainsi comment l’époque triomphante du numérique se caractérise par le désintérêt pour les instantanés, les photographies de presse et de studio, les albums de famille, les diapositives..., que l’on jette aux oubliettes et détruit le plus souvent. Il effectue dans ce livre une sorte de montage temporel à partir de ces documents pour beaucoup déjà introuvables. Il mêle ses propres photographies à celles qu’il s’approprie, constituant une histoire de la photographie argentique tout en tissant sa propre autobiographie photographique.

Over the course of the last decades, this change has introduced deep shifts whose effects are still being assessed. Following the possible end of linear writing, predicted by the “communicologist” Vilém Flusser as early as the 1970s, the philosopher Jacques Derrida reflected on the “end of paper” as the primary medium for inscription. The proliferation of screens and the dawn of the internet paved the way for expression forms falling under the category of an enlarged “graphosphere”, presumably still dominated by the norms and figures of paper (ligns, the sheet, the page, paragraphs, margins, etc.). Could the task of the designer be to accompany, as smoothly as possible, this transition from one technical era to the next, or could it be, on the contrary, to postpone the passage from paper to screen?

Résumé:
Housing speaks directly to the challenges that define our times: social inequality, ecological crisis, displacement, asylum, migration and privatization. Framing the neo-liberal context as a defining condition of contemporary housing, International Case Studies consists of two parts: a series of essays by authors from architecture, anthropology, economy and literature, and an “atlas” of global housing that takes neo-liberalism as its starting point. The essays shed light on the challenges and conflicts of contemporary housing production from Andrew Herscher’s research on the politics of “blight” in Detroit to Justin McGuirk’s text on domesticity as data and universal housing questions eclipse by the “Internet of Things.” Conceptualized and compiled by architectural critic-historian Anne Kockelkorn and Columbia professor Reinhold Martin, the illustrated “atlas” presents 33 housing examples rarely seen together and invites readers to think of housing as an unstable constellation evolving within the power relations of territorial processes.

Résumé:
From all sides, we hear that computer technology, with its undeniable power to disseminate information and connect individuals, holds enormous potential for a reinvigoration of political life. But will the Internet really spark a democratic revolution? And will the changes it brings be so profound that past political thought will be of little use in helping us to understand them? In Prometheus Wired, Darin Barney debunks claims that a networked society will provide the infrastructure for a political revolution and shows that the resources we need for understanding and making sound judgments about this new technology are surprisingly close at hand. By looking to thinkers who grappled with the relationship of society and technology, such as Plato, Aristotle, Marx, and Heidegger, Barney critically examines such assertions about the character of digital networks. Darin Barney is assistant professor of communication at the University of Ottawa.
