Architecture Is Frozen Music
Cette première monographie de Laure Catugier présente l’étude qu’elle mène depuis des années sur la diffusion des normes architecturales modernes à l’échelle internationale. Il s’agit d’une publication hybride : un livre numérique (EPUB), contenant des textes critiques et des carnets de voyage (sonores et visuels), et un livre-objet imprimé et plié. Le titre « Architecture is Frozen Music » évoque l’idée d’une partition, une portée où les lignes indiquent la hauteur du son. La structure du livre est librement inspirée d’un ouvrage intitulé « Lines: A Brief History » (Routledge, 2016) dans lequel l’anthropologue Tim Ingold développe l’idée qu’« une...
Vanishing Points
Deftly deploying Derrida s notion of the unexperienced experience and building on Paul Virilio s ideas about the aesthetics of disappearance, "Vanishing Points "explores the aesthetic character of presence and absence as articulated in contemporary art, photography, film, and emerging media. Addressing works ranging from Robert Rauschenberg to "Six Feet Under," Natasha Chuk emphasizes the notion that art is an accident, an event, which registers numerous overlapping, contradictory orientations, or vanishing points, between its own components and the viewers perspective generating the power to create unexperienced experiences. It will be a must read for anyone interested in contemporary art and its intersection with philosophy."
New Opportunities for Artistic Practice in Virtual Worlds
Although virtual worlds continue to grow in popularity, a substantial amount of research is needed to determine best practices in virtual spaces. The artistic community is one field where virtual worlds can be utilized to the greatest effect. New Opportunities for Artistic Practice in Virtual Worlds provides a coherent account of artistic practices in virtual worlds and considers the contribution the Second Life platform has made in a historical, theoretical, and critical context within the fields of art and technology. This volume is intended for both artists and scholars in the areas of digital art, art and technology, media arts history, virtual worlds, and games studies, as well as a broader academic audience who are interested in the philosophical implications of virtual spaces.

Wwwunderkammer
In her wwwunderkammer, Carla Gannis appeals to the 16th-Century "Cabinet of Curiosity" to consider the uncanny complications of grounded reality and virtual reality, nature and artifice, science and science fiction in contemporary digital culture. She explores these complications as evidence of an ontological underdetermination in experience, rich with potential for transformative intervention; and she works to build virtual worlds, founded upon de-colonizing, post-humanist, and feminist archives, countering the prejudicial assumptions of the algorithms and visual culture of Silicon Valley.This book surveys Gannis' project from its inception as a gallery exhibition at Telematic Media Arts in March, 2020, through its subsequent development on-line in Social VR and its further expansion to include a series of collaborations with experts in related fields, up until January, 2022. It was edited with an essay in five parts by curator Clark Buckner and published by Telematic in anticipation of an exhibition of the project at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
The Cambridge Handbook of Material Culture Studies
Material culture studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationships between people and their things: the production, history, preservation, and interpretation of objects. It draws on theory and practice from disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, such as anthropology, archaeology, history, and museum studies. Written by leading international scholars, this Handbook provides a comprehensive view of developments, methodologies and theories. It is divided into five broad themes, embracing both classic and emerging areas of research in the field. Chapters outline transformative moments in material culture scholarship, and present research from around the world, focusing on multiple material and digital media that show the scope and breadth of this exciting field. Written in an easy-to-read style, it is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals with an interest in material culture.
Virtual Photography
While it has traditionally been seen as a means of documenting an external reality or expressing an internal feeling, photography is now capable of actualizing never-existed pasts and never-lived experiences. Thanks to the latest photographic technologies, we can now take photos in computer games, interpolate them in extended reality platforms, or synthesize them via artificial intelligence. To account for the most recent shifts in conceptualizations of photography, this book proposes the term virtual photography as a binding theoretical framework, defined as a photography that retains the efficiency and function of real photography (made with or without a camera) while manifesting these in an unfamiliar or noncustomary form.
Architecture Is Frozen Music
This first monograph by Laure Catugier explores the study she has been conducting for years on the spread of modern architectural standards on an international scale. It is a hybrid publication: a digital book (EPUB), containing critical texts and travel diaries (sound and visual), and a printed, folded book-object. The title "Architecture is Frozen Music" evokes the idea of a partition, a staff where the lines indicate the pitch of the sound. The structure of the book is freely inspired by a "Lines: A Brief History" (Routledge, 2016) in which the anthropologist Tim Ingold develops the idea that "a study of men and things is a study of the lines of which they are made". Walking, writing or c...

Tolstoy on Screen
Scholarship on screen adaptation has proliferated in recent years, but it has remained largely focused on English- and Romance-language authors. Tolstoy on Screen aims to correct this imbalance with a comprehensive examination of film and television adaptations of Tolstoy’s fiction. Spanning the silent era to the present day, these essays consider well-known as well as neglected works in light of contemporary adaptation and media theory. The book is organized to facilitate a comparative, cross-cultural understanding of the various practices employed in different eras and different countries to bring Tolstoy’s writing to the screen. International in scope and rigorous in analysis, the essays cast new light on Tolstoy’s work and media studies alike.
