Résumé:
In ''Alien agency,'' Chris Salter tells three stories of art in the making. Salter examines three works in which the materials of art—the ''stuff of the world''—behave and perform in ways beyond the creator's intent, becoming unknown, surprising, alien. Studying these works—all three deeply embroiled in and enabled by science and technology—allows him to focus on practice(...)

Résumé:
In ''Alien agency,'' Chris Salter tells three stories of art in the making. Salter examines three works in which the materials of art—the ''stuff of the world''—behave and perform in ways beyond the creator's intent, becoming unknown, surprising, alien. Studying these works—all three deeply embroiled in and enabled by science and technology—allows him to focus on practice through the experiential and affective elements of creation. Drawing on extensive ethnographic observation and on his own experience as an artist, Salter investigates how researcher-creators organize the conditions for these experimental, performative assemblages—assemblages that sidestep dichotomies between subjects and objects, human and nonhuman, mind and body, knowing and experiencing. Salter reports on the sound artists Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger (O+A) and their efforts to capture and then project unnoticed urban sounds; tracks the multi-year project TEMA (Tissue Engineered Muscle Actuators) at the art research lab SymbioticA and its construction of a hybrid ''semi-living'' machine from specially grown mouse muscle cells; and describes a research-creation project (which he himself initiated) that uses light, vibration, sound, smell, and other sensory stimuli to enable audiences to experience other cultures' ''ways of sensing.'' Combining theory, diary, history, and ethnography, Salter also explores a broader question: How do new things emerge into the world and what do they do?

Résumé:
Earth-Sheltered Houses is a practical guide for those who want to build their own underground home at moderate cost. It describes the benefits of sheltering a home with earth, including the added comfort and energy efficiency from the moderating influence of the earth on the home's temperature - keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer - low maintenance, and the protection against fire, sound, earthquake and storm afforded by the earth. Extra benefits from adding an earth or other living roof option include greater longevity of the roof substrate, fine aesthetics, and environmental harmony.

Résumé:
This book explores the increasing use of experimental interactive design in our living and working environments. Responsive environments - by definition spaces that interact with the people who use them or pass through them - have in a very short space of time become ubiquitous. From an installation in a London shopping centre that registers the presence of passers-by with patterns of coloured light and sound, to an interactive artwork in the boardroom of the TV channel Five, the projects featured in this book engage with our wishes and bodily sensations, fusing inventive design with interactive media and technologies.

Résumé:
Partly a retrospective on sacred spaces from the magazine’s archives, this issue presents significant projects that have shaped discourse on fostering transcendent experiences through architecture. Besides providing space for worship, each of the projects conveys innovative architectural approaches to express sacredness: classics like Jørn Utzon’s Bagsværd Church, Seema Malaka by Geoffery Bawa, and Lina Bo Bardi’s Church of the Holy Spirit. The issue also contrasts the various ways architecture can nurture a relationship with a higher force, and adds new spaces for contemplation, like Glenn Murcutt’s Cobar Sound Chapel or Motorway Chapel by Herzog & de Meuron.

Résumé:
This collection features images from Notting Hill Carnival, 1983. A snapshot of sound system culture in London over 40 years ago. These were hard times; racism was rife, work was scarce and woke wasn't even a word. The determination and passion required to express and live by your culture was crucial and dangerous. Without the dogged passion of the people that created the dances, the carnivals and the blues parties, we would not enjoy the culture we have today. We owe the people in these images a debt of gratitude. We're pleased to share them with you.
