Annett Zinsmeister
Annett Zinsmeister arbeitet mit Raum und Architektur, mit Strukturen und Elementen, die sie aus herkömmlichen Kontexten löst und zu neuen Räumen und Kompositionen zusammenfügt. Sie verbindet unterschiedliche Disziplinen (Architektur, Kunst, Design, Wissenschaft) und verhandelt das Thema Architektur in Zeichnungen, Fotografien, Installationen, Filmen bis hin zu gebauten Räumen. Im Fokus stehen modulare Prinzipien, Strukturen, die Auseinandersetzung mit Utopien und dem Identitätsgehalt von Räumen, mit sozialer Interaktion, Kommunikation und die Transformation urbaner Raumsituationen. Ihre Arbeiten fordern unsere Wahrnehmung, entlarven alltägliche Gewohnheiten, eröffnen neue Perspektiven und ungeahnte Potenziale unwirtlicher, verlassener Räume. Sie initiieren Prozesse urbaner Interventionen und Transformationen.Dieses Buch gibt erstmals einen Überblick über das vielfach veröffentlichte transdisziplinäre Werk von Annett Zinsmeister
Art - design?
Creative practice, whether in free and/or the applied arts, is a dynamic process. But where exactly is the borderline between art and design? Annett Zinsmeister has developed interdisciplinary teaching based on her wideranging educational experience and personal artistic practice. Her studies investigating creative processes and our perceptions of places, spaces, and objects along with their significance and capacity for transformation are exciting for artists, but equally so for designers and architects. This illustrated volume shows the outcome of experimental exercises that oscillate between free and applied art and so re-actualize the boundaries between the disciplines.

Urban Hacking
Urban spaces became battlefields, signifiers have been invaded, new structures have been established: Netculture replaced counterculture in most parts and also focused on the everchanging environments of the modern city. Important questions have been brought up to date and reasked, taking current positions and discourses into account. The major question still remains, namely how to create culturally based resistance under the influence of capitalistic pressure and conservative politics. This collection of essays and contributions attempts to address this question and its implications for different scientific and artistic fields.
The Container Principle
A cultural history of the shipping container as a crucible of globalization and a cultural paradigm. We live in a world organized around the container. Standardized twenty- and forty-foot shipping containers carry material goods across oceans and over land; provide shelter, office space, and storage capacity; inspire films, novels, metaphors, and paradigms. Today, TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit, the official measurement for shipping containers) has become something like a global currency. A container ship, sailing under the flag of one country but owned by a corporation headquartered in another, carrying auto parts from Japan, frozen fish from Vietnam, and rubber ducks from China, offers a...
PERCEPTION in Architecture
Definitions of space are as diverse as the disciplines in which it plays a fundamental role; from science and philosophy to art and architecture, each field’s perception of space is often simplified or reduced. This consequently denies access to ‘new spaces’, whose definitions and perspectives, strategies and impacts on human perception are rarely considered in any cohesive manner. This is where the Aedes Network Campus Berlin (ANCB) programme ‘No Space Without Traits’ came in: particularly through artistic approaches, it aimed to open doors into spatial worlds that until now have remained closed. The symposium ‘PERCEPTION in Architecture. HERE and NOW’ was part of this program...
The Tacit Dimension
In architecture, tacit knowledge plays a substantial role in both the design process and its reception. The essays in this book explore the tacit dimension of architecture in its aesthetic, material, cultural, design-based, and reflexive understanding of what we build. Tacit knowledge, described in 1966 by Michael Polanyi as what we ‘can know but cannot tell’, often denotes knowledge that escapes quantifiable dimensions of research. Much of architecture’s knowledge resides beneath the surface, in nonverbal instruments such as drawings and models that articulate the spatial imagination of the design process. Awareness of the tacit dimension helps to understand the many facets of the spa...
(Re-)Imagining New Media
The late 20th century was a formative phase in the history of digital media culture. The introduction of "new media" was associated with promises for the future that still resonate today. This book brings together contributions that discuss key aspects of the "imaginaries" surrounding new media in this epoch. The focus is on the works of the media artist group Van Gogh-TV, especially the historically very important interactive television project "Piazza virtuale" (1992).
Le Corbusier, the Dishonest Architect
This is not a book for architects, but for all those that have suffered, consciously and unconsciously, from modern architecture and have wondered how it came about. This was largely due to one man, an architect called Le Corbusier. For some he was a genius, but the truth is he was a sham, a fake, a charlatan whose only gift was for self-publicity. He was the most influential architect of the second half of the twentieth century; his influence overwhelmed the architectural profession on a global scale, who swallowed his publicity whole, and still hold him in awe. For the rest of the world, the mere mortals, his influence was disastrous, as traditional buildings were destroyed and replaced by...
The Connectivity of Things
A media history of the material and infrastructural features of networking practices, a German classic translated for the first time into English. Nets hold, connect, and catch. They ensnare, bind, and entangle. Our social networks owe their name to a conceivably strange and ambivalent object. But how did the net get into the network? And how can it reasonably represent the connectedness of people, things, institutions, signs, infrastructures, and even nature? The Connectivity of Things by Sebastian Giessmann, the first media history that addresses the overwhelming diversity of networks, attempts to answer all these questions and more. Reconstructing the decisive moments in which networking ...
