FakePress explores the opportunities for the next-step transformation of publishing practices, designing publications that are disseminated, ubiquitous, multi-author, emergent, open-ended, natively cross-medial, multi-sensorial, relational, emotional. The objective is to disarticulate the form of the book, transforming it into a new form of experience that is designed to be used off bodies, architectures, objects or geographical places, by using ubiquitous, mobile, wearable, embeddable, architecturable technologies and spimes that are able to leverage and give expression to ethnographic insights on communication, cultural networks, emotion, interaction and self-representations.
Questo libro raccoglie l’intensa esperienza del REFF – Romaeuropa FakeFactory, e ne ricostruisce il percorso attraverso le opere e i contributi della vasta rete di artisti, intellettuali, docenti, giornalisti, giuristi e attivisti che vi partecipa. A partire dalla condivisione di un’azione di artivism (il concorso-fake Romaeuropa FakeFactory) in favore della cultura libera e delle forme non proprietarie del diritto d’autore, questa rete si è confrontata su temi quali arte e hacking, attivismo politico e tecnologico, copyright e proprietà intellettuale.

Art today is defined by its relationship to money as never before. Prices of living artists' works have been driven to unprecedented heights, conventional boundaries within the art world have collapsed, and artists now think ever more strategically about how to advance their careers. Artists no longer simply make art, but package, sell, and brand it. Noah Horowitz exposes the inner workings of the contemporary art market, explaining how this unique economy came to be, how it works, and where it's headed. He takes a unique look at the globalization of the art world and the changing face of the business, offering the clearest analysis yet of how investors speculate in the market and how emerging art forms such as video and installation have been drawn into the commercial sphere. By carefully examining these developments against the backdrop of the deflation of the contemporary art bubble in 2008, "Art of the Deal" is a must-read book that demystifies collecting and investing in today's art market.
"Art auctions have long captured the public imagination. They regularly make news headlines and have become synonymous with glamour, money and social distinction. The marketing of auction houses and the works they sell has resulted in firms attaining authoritative positions and the ability both to influence and reflect collecting tastes. Pedigree and panache is the first comprehensive history of the art auction in Australia. In this fascinating work, Shireen Huda investigates the construction of the glamorous reputation of art auctions and art auction houses. Featuring absorbing case studies of key art auctions and major art auction houses in Australia (including Christies, Sothebys and Deutscher-Menzies) the work provides an overview of the origin and international development of art auctions. The development of the Australian marketplace is then explored, detailing colonial inception and continuing until Christies' withdrawal of its saleroom presence in 2006."--Provided by publisher.
