The Politics of the Impure
Towards a Theory of the Imperfect

Large Print
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-748-5, ISBN: 90-5662-748-1

"Piet Mondrian once wrote that "Life is basically simple. It may grow more and more complex, but it need not lose this simplicity. Complexity needs to be perfected, simplicity is man's perfect state." This statement encapsulates the values that would come to inform twentieth-century modernism. But it was not just the era's art that exalted purity--the same logic was at work in agriculture, urban planning and population control. This publ ..."






Information Is Alive(1st Edition)
Art And Theory On Archiving And Retrieving Data
by Joke Brouwer, Winy Maas, Arjun Appadurai, Simon Conway Morris, Arjen Mulder
Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2003 by Nai Publishers
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-310-4, ISBN: 90-5662-310-9

"The archive has of late proven to be a powerful metaphor: history is viewed as an archive of facts from which one can draw at will; our bodies have become a genetic archive since being digitally opened up in the human genome project; our language is an archive of meanings that can be unlocked using philological tools; and the unconscious is an archive of the traumatic experiences that mold our identity. More and more artists and archite ..."






Making Art of Databases(1st Edition)

Paperback, 100 Pages, Published 2003 by Nai Publishers
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-309-8, ISBN: 90-5662-309-5

"In recent centuries a whole range of exact systems has been developed in order to describe and categorize spoken and written communication: phonologically, morphologically, syntactically, semantically, pragmatically, stylistically. But there is nothing similar for visual and audio communication, despite the fact that the importance of these media has increased dramatically over the last 200 years. Attempts to develop various systems for ..."






Transurbanism(1st Edition)
by Joke Brouwer, Arjen Mulder, Philip Brookman, Hans Padberg, Hans-Friedrich Geist
Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2002 by Nai Publishers
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-236-7, ISBN: 90-5662-236-6

"Recent technological advances have radically altered the parameters of the urban field: trade takes place on a universal scale, work is immaterial and telematic, and new modes of communication influence the development of social relations. The city is the topographical area where these changes occur in their most concentrated form, where the conflicts and tensions accruing from them are most clearly articulated, where pixel and concrete ..."






Giving and Taking(1st Edition)
Antidotes to a Culture of Greed

ISBN-13: 978-94-6208-142-0, ISBN: 94-6208-142-5

"Most would agree that markets and money are crude measures when it comes to establishing the value of art. What exactly is being valued in the financial approach to culture, and what is being overlooked? Giving and Taking is an ambitious project that sets out to answer these questions. In the form of ten essays by authors from a range of disciplines, the volume represents a collective effort to establish a value of art that escapes or t ..."






Vital Beauty(1st Edition)
Reclaiming Aesthetics in the Tangle of Technology and Nature
by Joke Brouwer, Arjen Mulder, Lars Spuybroek, John Ruskin, Wendy Steiner, Laura Martz
Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2012 by Nai Publishers/V2
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-856-7, ISBN: 90-5662-856-9

"As defined by the great art writer John Ruskin more than 150 years ago, "vital beauty" denotes an aesthetic of "sympathies"--that is, a beauty that embodies and demonstrates affinity with sentience in all its forms. Ruskin effectively liberated beauty from classical perfectionism by envisaging a world of currents and forces, rather than immobile ideals, and by celebrating nature's abundant diversity. Today, this wonderful conception req ..."

ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-389-0, ISBN: 90-5662-389-3

"Art&D considers changes in art practice due to media, to that new branch of art making known primarily as electronic art.

This new discipline embraces a heterogeneous collection of artistic, technological, and scientific disciplines and is also characterized by inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations ..."

ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-423-1, ISBN: 90-5662-423-7

"Interactive art organizes itself as an open system: it preserves its coherence by exchanging matter, energy, and information with the environment. In that manner, interactive art is art whose state of rest must be disturbed before it can become art at all. Yet, it is precisely this instability makes it ever more complex. Feelings are Always Local is published on the occasion of DEAF04, the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival, which focuses o ..."

"In the movie, Valentin plays a percussionist in a small or- chestra. This percussionist does everything he can to follow the intentions of the conductor ( played by Valentin's wife, the actress Liesl Karlstadt) as accurately as possible. His bungling attempts fail miserably and cause the entire or- chestra's playing to deteriorate into total chaos. Just as Valentin tries to follow the conductor, the performer in Probe tries to imita ..."

ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-090-5, ISBN: 90-5662-090-8

"In the Art of the Accident the concept of 'accident' is not only based on the phenomenon that each machine brings with it its own form of disaster. It also implies that in a world of network technologies, the old distinction between form which is timeless and processes which are time-dependent is becoming increasingly unclear. The art accidentalis recognizes the creative potential of the accident, the fall, and the instability of digita ..."

Paperback, 208 Pages, Published 2007 by Nai Publishers
ISBN-13: 978-90-5662-577-1, ISBN: 90-5662-577-2

"The 1990s dream of cyberspace and its immaterial possibilities seems now to belong to the distant past: our future will be material for some time to come. And yet, modern biology has shown that matter is far from inert. It is "self-organizing," "epigenetic" and "transductive"--three terms that are explored in this collection of essays and artistic interventions. We all know that blueprints for the future have regularly been rendered obs ..."

"At least since Einstein's theory of relativity and Bergson's conception of duration, and especially since the advent of personal technology such as the iPod and the cellphone, we have been aware that the modern experience of temporality is continually in redefinition. Published on the occasion of the DEAF 2000 festival in Rotterdam, Machine Times takes a close look at the role of time in the constitution of our technological reality, in ..."
