The Museums of Contemporary Art
Where, how, by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by J. Pedro Lorente in this new book. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art, and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented.

Hidden Patterns
Netzwerke liefern zweifelsohne eines der zentralen Modelle unserer Gegenwart und unseres Lebens. Aber was versteht man eigentlich darunter? Welche Vorstellungen können wir uns von ihnen machen? Niemand sonst könnte diese Fragen besser beantworten als Albert-László Barabási. Er ist Professor für Physik und Leiter des CCNR (Center for Complex Network Research) an der Northeastern University in Boston. Seine Forschung reicht von den Verzweigungen sozialer Medien über die Interaktion von Proteinen bis hin zu Galaxie-Konstellationen.

Victims's Symptom
Victims' Symptom (PTSD and Culture) Victims' Symptom is a collection of interviews, essays, artists' statements and glossary definitions, which was originally launched as a Web project (http: //victims.labforculture.org). Produced in 2007, the project brought together cases related to past and current sites of conflict such as Sre- brenica, Palestine, and Kosovo reporting from different (and sometimes conflicting) international viewpoints. The Victims Symptom Reader collects critical concepts in media victimology and addresses the representation of victims in economies of war.
