Out of the Box
Since 1979 Ars Electronica has tracked and analyzed the digital revolution and its multiple impacts. The focus has always been on processes and trends combining art, technology, and society. Results of this artistic and scientific research can be seen in the form of an annual festival in Linz, Austria, where a five-day-long program involves conferences, podium discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The festival is planned, organized, and executed in collaboration with artists and scientists from around the world. A variety of controversial futuristic themes are always the center of attention. Richly illustrated and containing in-depth essays, this book is a companion to the 37th Ars Electronica Festival.00Exhibition: 37th Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria (05.09.09.2019).
Real Nazis
"Glamorous impersonations of evil: In the fall of 1999 Edition Patrick Frey published 'The Nazis', which soon became a legendary cult book. It has long since been out of print and remains highly coveted to this day. While 'The Nazis' showed stills of actors playing Nazis in various Hollywood movies, Polish artist Piotr Uklanksi has now juxtaposed them with the real thing: Nazi party bigwigs, decorated 'war heroes' and war criminals. Painstakingly culled from a great many different archives, this follow-up compilation superimposes fact on fiction, the stagey, propagandistic imagery of the Third Reich on the mockup Nazi iconography of Hollywood, revealing an uncanny, even spooky, resemblance between the play-acting and real-life exponents of evil. 'Real Nazis', using the same format and production values as its predecessor, is the 'real' brother that now seems an ugly reflection of that 'glamorous' artist's book 'The Nazis'"--Publisher's website (viewed on December 7, 2017)

Biographical essays treat Lovecraft's relation to his parents and his heritage; thematic essays discuss issues such as the function of the narrator in his fiction; and the comparative and genre studies examine Lovecraft's relation to modernism.

Transforming Images
The author seeks to discern the distinctive character of photography as an art, asking why similar images affect us differently and how our reaction to a photograph of a painting is different to the response to the painting. She demonstrates "perceived realism" and the transformation of images.
