Experiencing The Unconventional: Science In Art
This book introduces art projects that resulted from unconventional explorations, curious experiments and their creative translations into sensorial experiences. Using electronic and digital art, bioart, sculpture and installations, sound and performance, the authors are removing boundaries between natural and artificial, real and imaginary, science and culture.The invited artists and researchers come from cutting-edge fields of art production that focuses on creating aesthetic experiences and performative situations. Their artworks create a spatial aesthetic experience for visitors by manifesting themselves in physical space. Experiencing the Unconventional is a unique selection of works by artists not based on formal similarities, but on investigative practices. It offers in-depth insights and first-hand working experiences into current production of art works at the edge of art, science and technology.
The Next Thing
The Next Thing: Art in the Twenty-first Century is a highly visual collection of essays about the future of art and the art of the future. This anthology brings together writings by world-renown theorists, artists, critics, novelists and philosophers, all of them engaged in current discussions about new and emerging artistic trends and sensibilities. From “post-human” installations, to transgenic experimentations, from tele-presence performance, to nano design, digital-fiction, virtual urbanism or “guerilla art”, new tendencies, are redefining both the boundaries of Meaning and what it means to be Human. The essays comprising The Next Thing identify the impact of these new trends and...
Art as Capital
In global terms, creative industries are on the rise, as are new media investigations in art and initiatives that encourage innovation in the arts, for end-use in the economy. However, there is a significant lack of critical reflection on this form of creative production. This important book points out the dangers and downfalls that accompany such a boom of the creative industries and the subordination of art to the economy and politics. Specifically, it shows that art, as a mode of social and aesthetic practice, is losing the very thing which it has striven for so desperately in the course of modernity: its independence from other spheres of human activity.

A New Cultural Economy
""The age of copyright and intellectual property has reached its expiration date" - a development that already manifested itself in the technical fundamentals of the Internet has reared its head in the actual practices of a young generation of users and is bringing forth a new economy of sharing that clever business people are now taking to the next conceptual lever: a new cultural economy. With this provocative formulation, Ars Electronica 2008 is placing one of the core issues of modern knowledge-based society at the focal point of this year's festival program. Artists, theorists and experienced network nomads elaborate on these phenomena that now characterize our culture of everyday life: from angst-inducing scenarios of the annulment of intellectual property rights all the way to kicking back and going with the global information flow. So then - what status can intellectual property still have in an open knowledge-based society? And who's responsible for protecting intellectual property and establishing practicable rules?"--BOOK JACKET.

HalfLife
1997 ließ sich Edoardo Kac als erster Mensch in einer radikalen Geste einen Elektro-Chip implantieren. Seine Aktion erregte massive öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und wurde von Channel 21 live übertragen - zwanzig Jahre später könnte er damit kaum noch eine Diskussion lostreten. Unter dem Stichwort Posthumanismus ist die Hybridisierung der Körper auf dem Weg zur Normalität, und die öffentliche Diskussion hat sich von dystopisch-utopischen Grundsatzfragen weitestgehend auf die Felder juristischer Problemstellungen und Berichterstattung aus den Bio-Wissenschaften verschoben. Unter dem Stichwort Posthumanismus ist die Hybridisierung der Körper auf dem Weg zur Normalität, und die öffentli...
