Bit Rot
Author: Douglas Coupland
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0399575790
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
A thought-provoking, binge-worthy new collection of essays, stories, and musings from Douglas Coupland, Bit Rot explores the different ways in which twentieth-century notions of the future are being shredded, and it is a literary gem of the digital age. "Bit rot" is a term used in digital archiving to describe the way digital files can spontaneously and quickly decompose. As Douglas Coupland writes, "Bit rot also describes the way my brain has been feeling since 2000, as I shed older and weaker neurons and connections and enhance new and unexpected ones." Bit Rot the book is a fascinating meditation on the ways in which humanity tries to make sense of our shifting consciousness. Coupland, just like the Internet, mixes forms to achieve his ends. Short fiction is interspersed with essays on all aspects of modern life. The result is addictively satisfying for Coupland's established fanbase hungry for his observations about our world, and a revelation to new readers of his work. For almost three decades, his unique pattern recognition has powered his fiction, his phrase-making, and his visual art. Every page of Bit Rot is full of wit, surprise, and delight. Reading Bit Rot feels a lot like bingeing on Netflix... you can't stop with just one.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Published in conjunction with the three-part exhibition series Art In The Age Of..., at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in 2015, this publication investigates future vectors of art production in the 21st century, highlighting the circulation of art and its underlying economies with the aim to chart new topical areas of urgency, spanning Energy and Raw Material, Planetary Computation, and Asymmetrical Warfare. Bringing together research by artists involved in the various shows through interviews, visual representation and commissioned interventions, this publication visually reflects how the exhibitions bleed into each other; artists from one show move into the next with the same or different works, thus reflecting the effect of an artwork's re-contextualization within the exhibition space and the interpenetration of each exhibition's area of research.

Beyond Unwanted Sound
Author: Marie Thompson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501313304
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Noise is so often a 'stench in the ear' – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. Beyond Unwanted Sound instead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, Beyond Unwanted Sound asserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.
