Abstract

Featuring 40 essays by U.S. and European historians, designers, cultural critics, geographers and social scientists, copiously illustrated with over 250 color images in extensive visual "gazetteers" ? including specially-commissioned portfolios by artists and designers ? ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING investigates:# how new technologies of navigation and location are emerging to chart "virtual" terrain such as social networks and online conversations# how these new mapping strategies borrow and reinvent metaphors adapted from the cartography of physical terrain, considered at various scales ? urban, regional, continental, global# how new modes of representation of spatial data are evolving to explore the potential for collective "bottom-up" (rather than "top-down") mapping# how cities, communities and social networks are being re-envisioned, as artists and designers use technologies such as GPS, GIS and digital interface design to devise alternative mappings of social and spatial relationships.AUTHORSJanet AbramsOle BoumanAndrea CodringtonDenis CosgroveSteve DietzPaul EllimanYuri EngelhardtPeter HallBrian HolmesJ.J.

  • Landscape: Mediated Views Bibliography

    Landscape: Mediated Views is an exhibition exploring landscape as a cultural construct and as mediated by imaging technologies; it cites Simon Schama and the 18th-century Claude glass and traces a shift from traditional painting to portable black-and-white video in the late 1960s and onward to contemporary digital technologies. The artists’ tapes document geographic, geological, cultural, narrative, interior and policy-related landscapes and consider how portability, camera and non-camera video processes, image processing and media systems alter representation, land use and perceptions over the nearly thirty-year history of the medium.

  • Presence of Future Presence of Video: Thing II Bibliography

    Essay deriving from seminars at the New School for Social Research and SVA in New York and field trips to the American Southwest; it argues that video has become indistinguishable from everyday reality, functioning as both panopticon and membrane and transforming representation, subjectivity, gender, sexuality and the body. The author traces technological shifts—time-code, digital encoding, format changes, fiber optics, satellites, AI, solid-state storage—and their political and ecological implications, including information flows, leakages, intellectual property dissolution, and inequality driven by capital. Urban and regional effects are illustrated via colonias, maquiladoras, and transnational programming; the essay situates autopornography and domestic microelectronics within these circulations.
