Résumé:
Architecture, as a living organism, establishes a relationship between beings and their environment, where the notions of energy, breathing and light are the vectors for the conception of spaces. For Serero, ?architecture should reach the minimum impact on its local environment and aims to vanish and resiliate in nature. The work rethink architecture and shifts away its permanent condition towards a transient and ephemeral one, with greater spatial versatility and multiplying the potential usage to propose an open architecture. This book reveals 3 profound transformations of recent architecture: the digital revolution and its impact on creative work in all conceptual aspects, the emergence of an internet of energy ?that buildings will contribute to create to share energy, and the profusion of new usage of private and public spaces, both collaborative and connected, creating an interstitial experience of spaces ?between the physical and the virtual.

Résumé:
Robert Frank is one of the most influential of all post-war photographers. Pioneering a revolutionary approach to photography and filmmaking, he combines autobiographical and poetic elements to produce straight black-and-white images that transcend the specific. Speaking of universal experience, Frank has said, "I'm trying to forget easy photo, trying to make something from within." He adds, "Time moves on and never stops or waits." Often involving a progression through a series of images, his work is structured like a musical sequence, creating storylines that resonate beyond the frozen moment of any single photograph. "Storylines" accompanies an exhibition highlighting Frank's experimental use of narrative in photography and film. The exhibition consists of his films and photographs, including Polaroids, contact sheets, and recent digital stills. Photographs from locations as diverse as Peru, London, Wales, Coney Island, and Chicago, appear along with several artist's books.

Résumé:
Thanks to the digital imaging and to graphic editors such as Photoshop, Christopher Wool and Josh Smith create here artworks "for four hands". To start, one of them proposes an image representing a work from his corpus. From this basic picture, the other generates another image by reworking it, by adding and/or removing elements. A third layer is then added by one ot the two artists and a new "stratum" superimposed on the previous one... The absence of constraints and lack of mutual censorship regulates the alternating interventions. Only the choice to keep or not to keep the work at the end of the successive alterations is made by "common consent". Once the images have been fully reshaped, they are converted to black and white. Eventually, it becomes impossibe for the artists themselves to distinguish precisely who has done what within this pictorial triangle.

Résumé:
As the Neen Manifesto has it, "Neen stands for Neenstars: a still-undefined generation of visual artists. Some of them belong to the contemporary art world; others are software creators, web designers, and video game directors or animators." In the spring of 2000, at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, Greek artist Miltos Manetas held a press conference to announce the birth of the term "Neen," which he had hired a California branding company to invent. Manetas, whose work includes oil paintings of computer hardware and videos of clips from games, sought to unify the burgeoning number of artists in and around digital media. If they've been understandably skittish about this unification, or if, as The New York Times bluntly observed, "it's unlikely that any sort of new coinage cooked up as a conceptual exercise will take hold," that just makes Manetas a more prominent example of Neen-ness himself.

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.

Résumé:
From scrolls and sheets of papyrus to elaborate and expensive codices to the mass press-printed volumes as we know them today, books have come a long way since writing was first developed. Although digital technology has impacted how we consume information over the last few decades, book design has survived as a means of showcasing creativity and craftsmanship, as books remain important sources of inspiration, knowledge, and entertainment. "A book on books" showcases some of the best book design work from all over the world in celebrating the designers’ contributions to preserving reading culture, as they continue to make books eye-catching and exciting to read or own. It also captures the voices of key influencers from publishing, printmaking, book fair organizing, and bookshop-owning standpoints, as they continue to play a crucial role in keeping the book-making industry alive and thriving even in the unknown future.

Résumé:
The entanglement of physical contexts with digital environments is constantly changing our relationship with the surrounding space and creating new hybrid experiences. These transformations pose complex design challenges and yet offer novel opportunities for the understanding and development of human-centered built environments. Drawing from a 5-year design research collaboration between the REAL Lab at Harvard GSD and the University of Bergamo, this book unfolds the experiential facets of our technologically-mediated relationship with space in the fields of architecture, urbanism and art. The book attempts to describe what makes an environment "responsive" in the form of a design manifesto, introducing ten attributes or principles at both methodological and experiential levels. Critically articulated from the perspective of leading experts, scholars and professionals, the ideas explored are unpacked through speculative urban visions and design concepts at different timeframes, contexts and scales ranging from smart artifacts to smart cities.

Résumé:
An investigation of color and image-driven consumer culture, Glass Life brings together Sara Cwynar’s multilayered portraits and stills from the films Soft Film (2016), Rose Gold (2017), and Red Film (2018). Cwynar’s research-driven and visually complex images constitute the hallmarks of contemporary post–Pictures Generation work—in which photography is pursued in relation to film, sculpture, digital culture, and the cultural and technological history of image-making. Cwynar’s work revolves around her interest in subjective notions of beauty through images; the fetishization of consumer objects and colors; and the exploration of the informal image archives that have emerged around the industrialization and capitalization of these ideas. As part of her core practice, Cwynar collects, arranges, and archives her eBay purchases and creates studio studies of these consumer objects, exploring how images circulate online and how the lives and purposes of both physical objects and their likenesses change over time.

Résumé:
The essays selected for this book, presented in chronological order, discuss various aspects of image-making technologies, geometrical knowledge and tools for architectural design, focusing in particular on two historical periods marked by comparable patterns of technological and cultural change. The first is the Renaissance; characterized by the rediscovery of linear perspectives and the simultaneous rise of new formats for architectural drawing and design on paper; the second, the contemporary rise of digital technologies and the simultaneous rise of virtual reality and computer-based design and manufacturing. Many of the contributing authors explore the parallel between the invention of the perspectival paradigm in early-modern Europe and the recent development of digitized virtual reality. This issue in turn bears on the specific purposes of architectural design, where various representational tools and devices are used to visualize bi-dimensional aspects of objects that must be measured and eventually built in three-dimensional space.
