Into the deep
Der Abbau von Rohstoffen entwickelt sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten immer stärker zu einem ökologischen, ökonomischen, politischen und sozialen Problem mit globalen Auswirkungen. Da die Ressourcen auf der Erde endlich sind, wird nach immer neuen, teils surreal anmutenden Standorten gesucht, so wie beim Deep Sea Mining und Deep Space Mining. Into the deep wirft einen kritischen Blick auf die vielschichtigen Zusammenhänge des Rohstoffabbaus in der Tiefsee und im Weltall, ebenso wie auf Formen von Widerstand und Aktivismus gegen die Ausbeutung von Menschen und Umwelt. In Anlehnung an die Industriegeschichte Friedrichshafens gerät zudem der Rohstoff Aluminium in den Fokus. Der Katalog ersch...
The Migrant Image
In The Migrant Image T. J. Demos examines the ways contemporary artists have reinvented documentary practices in their representations of mobile lives: refugees, migrants, the stateless, and the politically dispossessed. He presents a sophisticated analysis of how artists from the United States, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East depict the often ignored effects of globalization and the ways their works connect viewers to the lived experiences of political and economic crisis. Demos investigates the cinematic approaches Steve McQueen, the Otolith Group, and Hito Steyerl employ to blur the real and imaginary in their films confronting geopolitical conflicts between North and South. He ...
Experimental Systems
In the sciences, the experimental approach has proved its worth in generating what subsequently requires understanding. Can the emergent field of artistic research be inspired by recent thinking about the history and workings of science?
Turns of the Global, The
When we talk about the geographical, ecological, ethnographic, historical, documentary, and cosmopolitan “turns” in relation to the work of practitioners of contempory art, what exactly do we mean? Are we talking about a “reading strategy”? About an interpretive model, as would be derived from the linguistic turn of the 1970s, or rather about a stratigraphic structure that could be read across multiple cultural practices? Do we wish to read one system by means of another system, in a way that one nurtures the other so that it can open us up to other forms of being? Or is it rather about a generative movement in which a new horizon emerges in the process, leaving behind the practice t...
Spatial Agency: Other Ways of Doing Architecture
This book offers the first comprehensive overview of alternative approaches to architectural practice. At a time when many commentators are noting that alternative and richer approaches to architectural practice are required if the profession is to flourish, this book provides multiple examples from across the globe of how this has been achieved and how it might be achieved in the future. Particularly pertinent in the current economic climate, this book offers the reader new approaches to architectural practice in a changing world. It makes essential reading for any architect, aspiring or practicing.

Augmented Spaces and Maps
Mit der Konvergenz von Raum, Medien und Design verändern sich nicht nur Designpraktiken radikal, sondern auch die Oberflächen, die es zu gestalten gilt: Digitale Karten ermöglichen eine Schnittstelle zur physischen Welt und erlauben neuartige Formen von Navigation und räumlicher Erfahrung. Gleichzeitig werfen Internetunternehmen als Kartografen Diskussionen über Ungleichheiten und hegemoniale Ansprüche auf. Dieses Buch führt in dieses Feld ein, skizziert wichtige Einflüsse, Theorien und Herangehensweisen und erklärt anhand aktueller Beispiele, wie kartenbasierte Interfaces funktionieren können. Die so entwickelten Grundlagen bieten aber auch Inspiration für einen kritischen und experimentellen Zugang, der für DesignerIinnen, PraktikerIinnen und für ein designinteressiertes Publikum von Belang ist.

Cartografie radicali
La cartografia digitale ha trasformato radicalmente le forme di visualizzazione, mappatura e navigazione del territorio. Alcuni artisti si sono serviti di GeoTools per mostrare l’automazione della visione algoritmica e decodificare il funzionamento dell’hardware che la supporta. Considerato il tracciamento cui siamo sottoposti all’interno di una rete fitta di tecnologie e dispositivi i cui meccanismi sono sempre più opachi, attivisti, collettivi e ONG hanno ridefinito la nozione di cartografia, mappato e reso visibili questioni di ecologia politica e di genere e processi economici e sociali. In questo volume Lorenza Pignatti si è occupata del rapporto tra arte e cartografia, con un excursus di opere paradigmatiche: dalle deambulazioni dei dadaisti e dei surrealisti alle derive psicogeografiche dei situazionisti, alla Geofiction di Marcel Broodthaers, fino alle sperimentazioni cartografiche degli ultimi decenni. Con il Gruppo Ippolita, Juan Guardiola, Anna Castelli e Franco La Cecla ha inoltre approfondito il dialogo transdisciplinare esistente tra l’ambito geografico e quello umanistico-antropologico.
