Зигфрид Цилински — новинки

Книга известного немецкого теоретика медиа Зигфрида Цилински (род. 1951) – это историческое исследование взаимодействия технологий, искусства и науки, в котором автор предлагает пересмотреть понимание медиа как «комплекса взаимодействующих сложных технических и культурных систем», возникшего, согласно расхожему представлению, на Западе лишь во второй половине XX века.
Подобно геологам и палеонтологам, Цилински работает с «глубинными слоями» привычных концепций и исследовательских разработок, обращаясь к феноменам медиа, предшествующим индустриальной эпохе.

Книга известного немецкого теоретика медиа Зигфрида Цилински – это историческое исследование взаимодействия технологий, искусства и науки, в котором он предлагает пересмотреть понятие о медиа как о «комплексе взаимодействующих сложных технических и культурных систем», возникшем на Западе во второй половине XX века.

Подобно геологам и палеонтологам, Цилински работает с «глубинными слоями» привычных концепций и исследовательских разработок, обращаясь к феноменам медиа, предшествующим индустриальной эпохе.

Понятие проекции — фундаментальное для дизайна и медиа, пронизывает гетерогенные концепции и методы, стратегии и тактики исследований культуры и культурного производства, и прежде всего, обнаруживает себя в визуальных практиках, в центре которых вопрос о том, как осуществляется переход мира воображаемого, символического, материального на двумерную поверхность. Обращаясь к поздней концепции проектирования Вилема Флюссера и хайдеггеровской идее выявления, автор с позиций археологии медиа проводит детальный анализ истоков и точек роста теории и практики проектирования.
Книга адресована философам, культурологам, историкам науки, техники и медиа, дизайнерам, а также всем, интересующимся теорией и философией медиа.

A quest to find something new by excavating the deep time of media's development--not by simply looking at new media's historic forerunners, but by connecting models, machines, technologies, and accidents that have until now remained separated.Deep Time of the Media takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media development--dynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historical-media archaeological record. Siegfried Zielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery; in Deep Time of the Media, he illuminates turning points of media history--fractures in the predictable--that help us see the new in the old.

Drawing on original source materials, Zielinski explores the technology of devices for hearing and seeing through two thousand years of cultural and technological history. He discovers the contributions of dreamers and modelers of media worlds, from the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles and natural philosophers of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to Russian avant-gardists of the early twentieth century. Media are spaces of action for constructed attempts to connect what is separated, Zielinski writes. He describes models and machines that make this connection: including a theater of mirrors in sixteenth-century Naples, an automaton for musical composition created by the seventeenth-century Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, and the eighteenth-century electrical tele-writing machine of Joseph Mazzolari, among others. Uncovering these moments in the media-archaeological record, Zielinski says, brings us into a new relationship with present-day moments; these discoveries in the deep time media history shed light on today's media landscape and may help us map our expedition to the media future.

Have you ever wondered if one day Windows 2028 might just know what you're thinking and type it? In this collection of essays, a selection of today's top media and sci-fi theorists weigh in. The Book of Imaginary Media explores the persistent idea that technology may one day succeed where no human has, not only in space or in nature, but also in interpersonal communication. Building on insights from media archeology, Siegfried Zielinski, Bruce Sterling, Erkki Huhtamo and Timothy Druckrey spin a web of associations between the fantasy machines of Athanasius Kircher, the mania of stereoscopy and "dead" media. Edwin Carels and Zoe Beloff descend into the cinematographic caverns of spiritualism and the iconography of death, and renowned cartoonists including Ben Katchor depict their own visionary media fantasies. On the enclosd DVD, artist Peter Blegvad provides hilarious commentary in a son et lumire version of his On Imaginary Media.
