Abstract

"In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database."--Book cover.

Abstract

A groundbreaking book exploring the discovery of sameness in otherness.Recuperating a topic once central to philosophy, theology, rhetoric, and aesthetics, this groundbreaking book explores the discovery of sameness in otherness. Analogy poses an intriguingly ancient and modern conundrum. How, in the face of cultural diversity, can a unique someone or something be perceived as like what it is not? This book is for anyone puzzled by why today, as Barbara Maria Stafford claims, "we possess no language for talking about resemblance, only an exaggerated awareness of difference." Well-designed images, Stafford argues, reveal the mind's intuitive leaps to connect known with unknown experience.The first of four wide-ranging chapters paints a challenging overview of several pressing contemporary issues. Cloning, legal controversies about social inequity, identity politics, electronic copying, and the mimicry of virtual reality expose the need for a nuanced theory of similitude. The second examines the historical tug-of-war between analogy and allegory, or disanalogy. Stafford provocatively suggests that, since the Romantic Era, we have been living in polarizingly allegorical times. The third roots this divisiveness within the momentous shift from a magical universe, modeled on sexual bonds, to an engineered world built of discrete automated units. Finally, recent developments in computational brain research notwithstanding, major phenomenological questions about memory, emotion, intelligence, and awareness beckon. In the fourth chapter, Stafford intervenes in the consciousness debates to propose a humanistic cognitive science with bridging/analogy at its artful core.

Abstract

Building on the arguments of her previous books, Body Criticism (1991) and Artful Science (1994), Good Looking challenges the reflexive identification of images with vice. Today rampant criticism, both inside and outside the academy, condemns the immoralities of aesthetic illusion, museum display, cable television, and hypermedia. Believing with the American pragmatists that it is harder to do than to denounce, Barbara Stafford urges imagists to abandon Foucault's bankrupt paradigm of verbal combat. Instead of more "improving" theoretical discourse, she calls for developing a positive visual praxis on the interpretive ruins of linguistic postmodernism. Not deconstructive autopsy, but demonstrating the historical virtues of visualization for the emergent era of computerism is the task at hand. These twelve essays meditate on the stunning implications of a global shift toward vision and visionary modalities. Apparatus changes, but the basic questions endure. Machine dreams flowing from laser disks, video tapes, CD-ROMs, and magnetic disks are transforming educational, medical, and legal institutions as well as on-line society at large. Organized around three major themes - the explosion of optical information, the urgency of inventing an imaging interdiscipline, and the ethical dilemmas of technological transparency - these pieces connect a disappearing lens culture to the digital diaphanousness of the twenty-first century. Art historian Barbara Maria Stafford is William B. Odgen Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago and current president of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies. -- from back cover.

Abstract

Dreams and Conflicts - The Dictatorship of the Viewer is the exhibition catalogue of the 50th Venice Biennale. 250 artists, 63 foreign countries, Iran makes its debut, China comes, Mexico returns, technology takes a back seat, the great artists return, everything starts again from 1964. Dreams and Conflicts will not show political art, but rather a reflection on the politics of art. The viewer's experience before the exceptional nature of the artist's vision. Two contemporary subjects divided simply by a different look. The book is divided into the following sections: Z.O.U. Zone of Urgency: Zones where artistic creation has accelerated powerfully in the last ten years: China, Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, India; Individual Systems by Igor Zabel: Artists who use their own creative language to create a world of independent images as defence against the ideological aggression of society, particularly in East Europe. The Structure of Survival by Carlos Basualdo: The ways in which artists and architects have reacted against the effects of the financial recessions and politics of structural adaptation in developing countries. Utopia Station by Molly Nesbit, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija: Contemporary art as workshop and historic non-space; Conflit by Catherine David: The work of artists in areas of conflict, such as the Middle East and Central Asia, who must constantly redefine the limits and freedom of their creative work; The Everyday Altered by Gabriel Orozco: The new generation of artists working in Mexico and Cuba. Clandestines by Francesco Bonami: A selection by 30 young artists; Fault Lines by Gilane Tawardos: In association with the Forum Africa Contemporary Art; Delays and Revolutions by Francesco Bonami and Daniel Birnbaum: contemporary art as constant conflict between the avant-garde and tradition, experiment and ideal form. The Zone constructed by A12, by Massimiliano Gioni: A temporary building to house the work of young Italian artists.

Abstract

Uitgave naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling. Een dialoog tussen een essay, "Une brève histoire de l'avenir" van Jacques Attali, en de wereld van de hedendaagse kunst. Beginnen doen we met een woord vooraf en een interview met Jacques Attali, en vervolgens worden enkele thema's uit zijn essay in de kijker gezet en krijgen we te zien wat hedendaagse kunstenaars met dat thema hebben gedaan. Het hoofdstuk "Hyperconflicten" maakt indruk: Gonçalo Mabunda toont ons het werk "Le rève d'un monde meilleur", voorstellend een stoel gemaakt uit gerecycleerde wapens uit de Mozambikaanse burgeroorlog, Eugenio Merino presenteert ons het werk "All you need is love", bestaande uit de koran, de torah en de bijbel, bij elkaar gezet in een kastje en voorzien van de sticker "Love", en atheïst Al Farrow toont ons drie schaalmodellen, van een katholieke kerk, een moskee en een synagoge, die alle drie opgebouwd zijn uit wapens, kogels, kogelhulzen, been, ... Werken die je bijblijven wanneer je ze eenmaal gezien hebt.
