| Title: BiblioTech: ReReading the Post-digital Library |
| By (author): Nathan Jones |
| ISBN10-13: 0993248780 : 9780993248788 |
| BiblioTech explores the changing role of the library, reading, writing, and publishing in a post-digital age. It documents exhibitions and events held at Exhibition Research Lab, Liverpool and NeMe, Limassol and brings together a diverse array of new work by contemporary artists and writers. The publication asks: What is the library-as-institution in the context of advanced AI language tools, new forms of text and image processing, and the increasing spread of publishing technologies into our lives? How might the library evolve within the next phases of digitisation entangled with issues of climate change, mental health, social justice, and automation? Collectively, this is a book about books, libraries, readers, writers, and the mediums of communication that will define our future. â A wonderful collection: it might be about the transformation of libraries, but it is even more so about the post-digital cultures at large. It offers analytical accounts of transformation of the cultural politics of knowledge but also creative insights with an ethical and aesthetic twist: how to cultivate such read- write communities that reinvent our ways of thinking and doing with technology.â â Professor Jussi Parikka, Aarhus University, author of A Geology of Media â A visual / verbal feast with images from exhibitions, essays by noted scholars and explorations of the different versions of hybridity on display as digital technologies intersect with traditional print books in the enclosed and extended architectures of modern libraries. Highly recommended for anyone interested in modern libraries and their transformations in the digital age.â â Professor N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University, author of Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts â A teeming, lavishly illustrated document of the ways in which contemporary artists, collectors and thinkers have responded to the space and idea of the library. It is frequently surprising, and always thought provoking.â â Professor Adam Smyth, Balliol College, Oxford, author of The Book Makers: A History of the Book in 18 Remarkable Lives |

| Title: Radical Friends: Decentralised Autonomous Organisations and the Arts |
| By (author): Ruth Catlow, Penny Rafferty |
| ISBN10-13: 0993248772 : 9780993248771 |
| Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) offer unique tools for translocal peers to encode rules, relations and values into their joint ventures using blockchain technology. This new book, edited by Ruth Catlow and Penny Rafferty, who have been at the forefront of investigations into the relationship between DAOs and the arts, constitutes over 5 years of research with essays, interviews, exercises and prototypes from leading thinkers, artists and technologists across this emerging field. In recent years DAOs have been heralded as a powerful stimulus for experimentation to reshape new cultural value systems for interdependence, cooperation, and care. At a time when the mainstream artworld is focused on NFTs, this book refocuses attention toward DAOs as potentially the most radical blockchain technology for the arts, in the long term. Contributors engage with both past and emergent methodologies for building resilient and mutable systems for scale-free mutual aid. Collectively, the book aims to evoke and conjure new imaginative communities, and to share the practices and blueprints for the vehicles to get there. Radical Friends is an urgent book for the 21st Century and beyond. It shows us, in the spirit of the legendary poet and artist Etel Adnan, that the technology of the future needs to be about â togetherness, not separation. Love, not suspicion. A common future, not isolation.â Hans Ulrich Obrist How things are run is often more important than what is done. It may not be easy to establish alternative formats and infrastructures, but itâ s certainly necessaryâ ¦ This collection shows that it is possible too. Sadie Plant â ¨This book is about friendship, despair and hope â a beautiful, must-read for all people who are asking unanswerable questions about life, love and the end of the world. Franco â Bifoâ Beradi Web 3 diagonalises the principles of Web 1 and Web 2. Binaries are dead. Everything is both good and evil, emancipatory and oppressive, singular and infinitely replicable. Radical Friends navigates this confusing new terrain in a nuanced and accessible way that is liable to make you feel excited about the future of art, politics, and maybe even the world again. Amy Ireland, author An instant seminal compendium for people who want to gain a deeper understanding of the radical potential of crypto tech for aesthetic institutions. Harm van den Dorpel, artist & founder of left gallery. |
