A stimulating and inspiring exploration of creative approaches to visual expression: a sourcebook of ideas and images.
Black metal is a paradox. A noisy underground metal genre brimming with violence and virulence, it has captured the world’s imagination for its harsh yet flamboyant style and infamous history involving arson, blasphemy, and murder. Today black metal is nothing less than a cultural battleground between those who claim it for nationalist and racist ends, and those who say: Nazi black metal fvck off!

Robinson, Margaret Killjoy, and many more. Across essays and theory-fictions, artworks and co...

Those subjects who were historically considered aberrant, and our future lives becoming increasingly hybrid show we have always been and are continuously transforming into posthumans.

Posthuman Ethics asks not what the posthuman is, but how posthuman theory creates new, imaginative ways of understanding relations between lives. Ethics is a practice of activist, adaptive and creative interaction which avoids claims of overarching moral structures. Inherent in thinking posthuman ethics ...

Rigogliose o rinsecchite, isolate in un angolo poco illuminato di un grigio ufficio o protagoniste assolute e sfrontate dell'ingresso di casa nostra, le piante da interno oggi sono ovunque: negli appartamenti, nei negozi, nelle palestre, negli ospedali, nelle aziende. Da quando gli esseri umani hanno iniziato a trascorrere la maggior parte delle loro giornate in luoghi chiusi e urbanizzati esse rappresentano l'ambiente botanico con cui abbiamo il contatto maggiore, quello che più influenza direttamente o indirettamente la nostra idea di natura. Consapevole che nella loro storia ci sia un frammento importante della nostra identità individuale e collettiva, in Piante domestiche Mike Maunder ...
