�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

In a century of technological acceleration, we have reached a strange new plateau in the human condition. Advanced technologies are dramatically reshaping the way we perceive and interact with our environments. The Virtual Dimension critically examines the rote that digital and immersive technologies have on the methods used by architects, designers, and artists to conceptualize and represent both real and virtual spaces. Interdisciplinary in nature, the essays included here address the implications of "going virtual" from a variety of cultural and theoretical viewpoints. Over thirty leading architects, urban theorists, philosophers, scientists, and cultural critics have contributed to this collection, which includes essays and projects by Stan Allen, Peter Anders, Asymptote, Erica Baum, Gareth Branwyn, Bernard Cache, Char Davies, Manuel De Landa, Frances Dyson, Michael Heim, Knowbotic Research, Brian Massumi, William J. Mitchell, Hans Moravec, Stephen Perrella, Florian Rdetzer, Andreas Ruby, Vivian Sobchack, Michael Speaks, Claudia Springer, Lars Spuybroek, Stelarc, Stahl Stenslie, Arne Svenson, Mark C. Taylor, Matthew Aaron Taylor, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Paul Virilio, and Margaret Wertheim.

Anbieterinformationen

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
