2013 || Paperback || Vito Campanelli || nai010 uitgevers publishers

Essayreeks The myth of Artisthood
2013 || Hardcover || Camiel van Winkel || Jap Sam Books
Zoals het aura van het kunstwerk in de twintigste eeuw al talloze malen is afgebrand, maar keer op keer uit zijn as herrees, zo komen ook oude clichés over de visionaire kunstenaar en diens soevereine schepppingsdrang steeds weer terug, zij het in nieuwe, aangepaste vormen.
Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen ...

Art and Computation
2022 || Paperback || Miguel Carvalhais || V2_ Publishing
What is computational art? How does it involve us in unprecedented aesthetic relationships, making us part of works and even transforming them? This book looks at how computation causes an ontological shift that turns dynamics, causality, and cognition into central components of art, artistic practices, and aesthetics.
