Subject New Paperback: Imagery in the 21st Century, MIT Press - Reviews   Imagery in the 21st Century, edited by Oliver GRAU with Thomas VEIGL MIT-Press, Cambridge/Mass, 2013. English, 416 pages, 132 coloured and b/w illustrations, Paper ISBN-13: 9780262525350   With contributions by Marie-Luise ANGERER, Olaf BREIDBACH, Adrian David CHEOK, Wendy CHUN, Sean CUBITT, James ELKINS, Oliver GRAU, Stefan HEIDENREICH, Eduardo KAC, Martin KEMP, Harald KRAEMER, Lev MANOVICH & Jeremy DOUGLASS, Tim Otto ROTH & Andreas DEUTSCH, Martin SCHULZ, Christa SOMMERER & Laurent MIGNONNEAU, David & Dolores STEINMAN, Thomas VEIGL, Martin WARNKE and Peter WEIBEL.   REVIEWS   "Internationally renowned contributors from the arts, science & humanities examine this latest 'revolution of the image' and its implications for our contemporary globalized media society... thus a highly recommended read to discover individually." (Pamela C. SCORZIN, JOURNAL OF ART HISTORY)   "I was thrilled to read Grau's and Veigl's Imagery in the 21st Century and I will use it in my teaching. Imagery in the 21st Century is a fabulous resource for the reflection on contemporary visuality" (Trebor SCHOLZ, NEW SCHOOL NY, ARTIST)   "The authors systematically make comprehensible the challenges of visuality in the 21st century, and for the detailed analysis of concrete problems apply new tools and analysis forms in image science and digital humanities. A wonderful book to begin; a new thinking in conjunction with the new visuality in the 21st century." (Mikhail STEPANOV, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CULTURE RESEARCH)   "The editors demonstrate the importance to recontextualise the latest images with historic art and a poetic need of reinterpreting old optical media for a better understanding and redefinition of the image in its historic dimension." (Cleomar ROCHA a.o., VISUALIDADES, Brasil)   "Even though we have just stepped into the 21st century, the texts in the book are (...) indispensable reading for the development of visual and media literacy essential for communication and social interaction in a dominantly visual world we live in."  (Jelena GUGA, NOVA MISAO, Serbia)   "The analphabets of the future will not be those, who cannot read, but those who don't know how to see and understand visually. The anthology Imagery by Oliver Grau has seen and understood this prophetic writing on the wall by Walter Benjamin." (Bent FAUSING, MEDIACULTURE)   We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual.   Imagery in the 21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the image in our time.   The contributors explore and discuss new critical terms of multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to the dramaturgy of hypermedia, from visualizations in neurosciences to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in the development of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of visual phenomena, and examine new tools for image research and visual analysis. The goal is to expand visual competence in investigating new visual worlds and to build cross-disciplinary exchanges among the arts, humanities, and natural sciences.   Oliver Grau is Chair Professor for Image Science at Danube University. He is the author of "Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion" (2003) and editor of "MediaArtHistories" (2007), both published by the MIT Press. Thomas Veigl is on the scientific staff of the Center for Image Science at Danube University.   For more information: www.donau-uni.ac.at/bild http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/imagery-21st-century http://www.amazon.co.uk/Imagery-21st-Century-Oliver-Grau   This e-mail is sent by It's LIQUID Group.

[International ArtExpo] Call for Artists: BORDERLAND - The entropy of identities . UK

Call for Artists: BORDERLAND – The entropy of identities Nottingham (UK) 2013 International Video-Art screening Deadline: December 07, 2013 International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting video/short films to include in "BORDERLAND – The entropy of identities" international video art screening which will be held in Nottingham (UK), at Nottingham Playhouse, from the 13th to the 26th of January 2014. Entropy is conceptually defined as the measure of the level of disorder in a changing system. Starting from this fascinating concept, each person can be considered as a changing system, as the same as for a specific culture, city or country, until the whole universe. All these systems are subjected to a process of continuous inner evolution which overcome their own boundaries to contaminate and crossbreed each others. Borders of this evolving systems get more and more fleeting, and their identities turn out fluid, multiple and changeable. These continue changes find in the inevitability of evolution their measure of order. Nottingham Playhouse has been one of the United Kingdom's leading producing theatres since its foundation in 1948. Touring work nationally and internationally, the Playhouse remains firmly rooted in its vibrant home city, where its spacious modernist building – fronted by Anish Kapoor's "Sky Mirror" – is one of the region's most popular landmarks. Thanks to the programme "Digital Stage" curated by The Cutting Room innovative digital artworks have been brought to Nottingham Playhouse, offering an alternative viewpoint to Nottingham Playhouse's artistic programme. The deadline for applications is December 07, 2013. The event is open to video-art only. To take part in the selection, send your videos' submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images via email to lucacurci@lucacurci.com or via mail to: International ArtExpo Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33 70122 Bari, Italy The number of works you can submit is free and unlimited. The participation in the International Art Festival requires an entry fee only for selected artworks. Participation open to: artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios. International ArtExpo is an art organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries.
