Evidentiary Realism
"Evidentiary Realism aims to articulate a particular form of realism in art that portrays and reveals evidence from complex social systems. ...Evidentiary Realism focuses on artworks that prioritize formal aspects of visual language and mediums; diverging from journalism and reportage, they strive to provoke visual pleasure and emotional responses. The evidence is presented through photography, film, drawing, painting, and sculpture, with strong references to art history. In particular, these artists also theoretically articulate the aesthetic, social and documentary functions of their mediums in relation to the subject matter they investigate"--Page 1.
Beyond Matter, Within Space
Exhibition spaces are physical places of knowledge production and exchange. Their spatial properties play an important role in contextualizing information. Virtual stagings of exhibitions should therefore retain these properties. The Beyond Matter research project (2019–23) aims to unravel the intertwining of physical and virtual structures and their impact on spatial aspects in art production, curating, and art education, and thus to identify ways to preserve cultural heritage in the digital age. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse research activities, exhibition and book projects, and symposia that have taken place or emerged in the course of the international Beyond Matter project at the various partner institutions.
Prix Pictet
Wir feiern zu Recht menschliche Kreativität, Innovation und Unternehmertum, doch allzu oft sind unsere Erfolge in Wissenschaft und Technologie mit einem enormen Preis für unsere Umwelt und damit auch unsere Zukunft verbunden. Die menschliche Geschichte war weitaus häufiger von Konflikten und Verzweiflung als von Fürsorge, Liebe und Koexistenz geprägt – es wäre ein Leichtes, sie als eine Geschichte tragischer Hybris zu lesen. Doch die Geschichte ist hier nicht zu Ende. Wir stehen an der Schwelle zur Zukunft und fragen uns, wie die Würfel fallen werden. Wir wetten mit der Nachwelt, dass der menschliche Einfallsreichtum, die Intelligenz und Anpassungsfähigkeit stark genug sein werden, um eine ganz andere Zukunft hervorzubringen. Prix Pictet. Human zeigt über 100 herausragende Werke zeitgenössischer Fotografie von vielen der weltweit renommiertesten Fotograf*innen, die sich mit dem bewusst weitgefassten und ambivalenten Themenkomplex konzeptuell auseinandersetzen.
The Role of the History of Mathematics in the Teaching/Learning Process
This volume presents multiple perspectives on the uses of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, including the value of historical topics in challenging mathematics tasks, for provoking teachers’ reflection on the nature of mathematics, curriculum development questions that mirror earlier pedagogical choices in the history of mathematics education, and the history of technological innovations in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An ethnomathematical perspective on the history of mathematics challenges readers to appreciate the role of mathematics in perpetuating consequences of colonialism. Histories of the textbook and its uses offer interesting insights into how te...

Media spazio display
Il lavoro ripercorre la storia dello ZKM Zentrum für Kunst und Medien di Karlsruhe, a partire dalla sua architettura, dalle idee e tradizione teorica di cui è stato incubatore fin dagli esordi, sino ad arrivare all’analisi di alcune mostre che ne hanno rappresentato i momenti espositivi più rilevanti. La prima parte “Media” ricostruisce le vicende della concezione e fondazione dell’istituzione ad opera dello storico dell’arte e dell’architettura Heinrich Klotz (1931-1999). La seconda sezione “Spazio” parte dal contesto del centro nella sua duplice natura di museo e ‘fabbrica del pensiero’ per avanzare alcune ipotesi critiche per l’analisi dell’istituzione a partire dalla peculiarità del pensiero teorico che l’ha attraversata. La terza parte intitolata “Display” analizza alcune mostre che hanno avuto luogo presso lo ZKM, attraverso la selezione di cinque casi studio studio (MindFrames, Moments, Iconoclash, Making Things Public, Reset Modernity!) e due antecedenti storici (Les Immatériaux e Laboratorium) nei quali il “display” diviene lo strumento di analisi dello spazio espositivo. La cibernetica muove lo studio.
Expanded Choreographies - Choreographic Histories
From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.
Critica della ragion burocratica
La burocrazia si è prestata storicamente a interpretazioni in netto contrasto tra di loro: da un lato, la lettura di Max Weber che la assimila a un processo di progressiva razionalizzazione della società; dall’altro lato, una lettura critica, per lo più anglosassone, che vi intravvede soltanto gli aspetti negativi, gli eccessi formali e il carattere autoreferenziale. La critica della ragion burocratica cerca invece di inserire la burocrazia nell’ambito di un dispositivo immunitario a priori, che gestisce e organizza le molteplicità sociali attraverso la produzione di infiniti documenti. I suoi tratti negativi – distrazione, differimento, cronicizzazione, inazione – costituiscono delle precise tecniche immunitarie finalizzate a contenere il rischio sociale sia endogeno che esogeno. Grazie a questa struttura, la burocrazia non riguarda più solo l’amministrazione pubblica, ma anche gli ambiti ben più ampi dell’economia, della scienza, della medicina, della scuola, della vita privata. È nato il “soggetto burocratico”, i cui tratti talvolta perversi, insensati ed eccessivi segnalano un’evidente situazione di impasse all’interno delle società occidentali.
Critique of Digitality
Dealing with digitality is one of the most urgent challenges of the present. The increasing importance and spread of computer technology not only challenges societies and individuals - this development also puts pressure on the concept of digitality, which tries to grasp the totality and peculiarity of the conditions and consequences of electronic digital computing (in all its forms). However, precisely because digitality is commonplace, so should be its critique, its analysis and assessment. How can an analysis do justice to both fundamental characteristics and changing concrete forms, infrastructures, and practices? How do the developments of a digitalization that programmatically encompas...
