Visionary furniture design from Vienna In 1938, Vienna lost its best and most creative minds. This rupture was manifested in all of the arts and sciences and its mark is felt to this day – not least in the field of furniture design. With inexhaustible creativity the Jewish furniture designers who were forced to flee Vienna continued to work while in exile. They taught at the best universities and spread their ideas and vision throughout the entire world. Their creations became classics of twentieth-century furniture design, the epitome of mid-century modern style. This book honors the memory of the exiled designers with a thorough overview of their work. It details their life stories and their visionary designs, which remain as relevant and contemporary as ever, and brings to light new aspects of the history of Viennese furniture design. A new history of Viennese furniture design, with 27 detailed biographies Numerous previously unpublished photographs and sketches Including works by Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Martin Eisler, Josef Frank, Friedrich Kiesler, Richard Neutra, Bruno Pollak, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, Franz Singer, Ernst Schwadron, among others

This book explores experimental approaches to the design and construction of wooden structures in architecture, while presenting the results of an artistic research project. Through the use of digital tools, the anatomy of wood becomes a design-determining principle for spatial structures. The architects and artists also explore the potential of traditional craftsmanship and derive from this a material-oriented practice. Structures are not designed here for a specific use, but rather open up various usage possibilities due to their unique spatial and geometric properties. The documentation provides insight into an open-ended research process. Guest contributions reflect on the underlying concepts and thus the future relevance of wood as a building material.

The urban spaces of the future This book compiles speculative contributions on disruptive, nonlinear futures of urban agglomerations, based on research conducted on urban innovation at the Department of Special Topics in Architecture at the Institute of Architecture of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Students, alongside renowned experts, also comment on questions concerning our urban future. The novel reading structure, which is realized and suggested by the concept of the book, is also nonlinear: thematic, graphic cross-references enable contextual reading in addition to continuous reading. The enhancement of the printed book with digital augmented reality (AR) components offers networked, simultaneous reading on several levels and thus reflects the complexity of urban systems. New approaches in urbanism A spectrum of speculative glimpses into the urban future Contextual reading structure: enrichment of the printed book with AR components

Über Architektur, KI und Mikrobiologie Co-Corporeality beruht auf der Hypothese, die gebaute Umwelt als biologische Einheit zu begreifen, die einen Raum der Koexistenz und Interaktion zwischen Menschen und mikrobiellem Leben eröffnet. Ausgehend von designgeleiteter Forschung wird ergründet, wie wir Umgebungen für eine Multispezies-Welt entwickeln können. Im Fokus steht die Handlungsfähigkeit menschlicher wie nicht menschlicher Akteure: Neue Sensortools ermöglichen die Beobachtung von und Interaktion zwischen diesen verschiedenen Akteuren. Co-Corporeality verbindet Mikrobiologie, Materialwissenschaft, künstliche Intelligenz, Architektur. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie mikrobielle Aktivität neue protoarchitektonische Materialien schaffen kann, wie lebende Systeme in Architektur integriert werden und innerhalb verschiedener Zeitskalen kooperieren können. Wie künstlerische Interventionen menschliche und nicht menschliche Welten durch Trackingsysteme und ML-Algorithmen verbinden Essays von Rachel Armstrong, Alex Arteaga, Philip Beesley, Jens Hauser u. a. Bilder von Experimenten und Rauminstallationen

Dynamisches Kunstlicht im Museum In Galerien und Museen wird die Wahrnehmung von Kunst, Raum und Atmosphäre wesentlich durch den Faktor Licht bestimmt. Doch welche Lichteinstellungen sollen von Kunst- und Museumsexpert:innen und Ausstellungsgestalter:innen vorgenommen werden, und wie und auf welcher Basis wird eine Wahl getroffen? Zukunftsweisende LED-Technologien ermöglichen maßgeschneiderte Beleuchtungsszenarien. Kunstlicht wird so zum interaktiven Material in der Museumsarchitektur – nicht nur in der Entwurfspraxis, auch in Echtzeit-Raumerfahrungen. Computergesteuerte Lichttechnologien setzen neue Maßstäbe: Das Individuum entscheidet und übernimmt die Gestaltungshoheit. Light Up ergründet das Potenzial dynamischer Kunstlichttechnologien in der Museumsarchitektur – und eröffnet damit neue Sichtweisen im Umgang mit Licht im Ausstellungsraum. Wie mit LED-Technologien maßgeschneiderte Beleuchtungsszenarien entwickelt werden können Studien im realen Kontext von Kunstinstitutionen und Programmierung interaktiver Lichtsimulationen Dokumentiert das Forschungsprojekt „White Cube Teleporter"

Materials: An overview This book presents a clear overview of the most important design materials, their production, properties, composition, and use. It also presents a concise outline of cleaning agents and dyes, and the basics of organic and inorganic chemistry. Materials are the starting point for every design process, whether in architecture, art, or crafts. Ancient artifacts show that people have always manipulated materials to derive practical and/or aesthetic benefits from them. The scientific interest in the properties of materials did not begin until the dawn of the industrial age in the early nineteenth century. With this book we finally have a solidly grounded textbook on the fundamentals of materials science. Everything you always wanted or needed to know about dyes, plastics, textiles, metals An overview of materials, their production, properties, and composition, and practical applications Understandable, thorough, clearly arranged, this is a reference book for students, pupils, professionals, and anyone interested in materials science

Architecture is a fundamentally future-oriented discipline that seeks to reconcile today’s visions with the realities of tomorrow. Futures, understood as evidence-based spatial projections, are materialized in imaginaries. As collectively and socially constructed frameworks of concepts, models, representations, and narratives, they constitute imaginary worlds within which societies seek to position themselves in the world. They lend meaning to our stories and influence the ways in which challenges are perceived and opportunities are articulated and implemented. At the intersection of architectural practice and academic research, this publication examines the significance of imaginaries and bridges the gap between speculative thinking and applied architectural knowledge. Examines the links between speculative thinking and applied architectural knowledgeReveals fresh perspectives on the research and design processEnables the exploration of hypothetical worlds, uncovering new paths to forms of knowledge and insight

Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line stages a beyond-disciplinary, inter-subjective encounter between the lines of choreography, drawing and writing, for exploring those forms of thinking-feeling-knowing produced through collaborative exchange, in the slippage and deviation, as different modes of practice enter into dialogue, overlap, collide. The publication is conceived as a studio-laboratory in itself, drawing together critical reflections and experimental practices that focus on the how-ness — the qualitative-procedural, aesthetic-epistemological and ethical-empathetic dynamics — within shared artistic exploration, directing attention to an affective realm of forces and intensities existing before, between and beneath the more readable gestures of artistic practice.

Drawing a Hypothesis is a reader on the ontology of forms of visualisation and on the development of the diagrammatic perspective and its use in contemporary art, science, and theory. Based on his artistic practice, Nikolaus Gansterer reveals drawing as a core medium of research, which enables the emergence of new narratives by tracing the speculative and performative potential of diagrams. Due to its ability to mediate between perception and reflection, drawing plays a fundamental role in the production and communication of knowledge. The book is a rich compendium of figures of thought, which moves from scientific representation through artistic interpretation, and vice versa.

Heute ist oft von einem „Museum der Zukunft" die Rede: als Kontaktzone, Arena, Forum und Plattform – vielleicht sogar als besetzter Raum: Das Museum der Zukunft wäre radikaldemokratisch. Im Hinblick auf eine Neudefinition des Museums aktualisiert Nora Sternfeld Ansätze aus Museologie, Vermittlung und Erinnerungskultur. So verfolgen die Texte dieses Bandes Strategien, die das Archiv herausfordern, Museumsraum aneignen, alternatives Wissen produzieren und Bildung neu denken. Das Museum wird dabei zu einem Versammlungsraum, der es erlaubt, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen, was geschehen ist, darüber zu verhandeln, was dies für die Gegenwart bedeutet und wie sich eine Zukunft imaginieren lässt, die mehr ist, als bloß die Verlängerung der Gegenwart.

The book illustrates that supposedly outmoded, analog practices in contemporary photographic and cinematic art not only have maximum actuality, but also critical potential. Using the example of artists’ practices that are motivated by the idea of the photographic and/or the cinematic but do not necessarily lead to photographs or films, the book shows how, in multiple ways, the display tool—the apparatus—can be explored, taken apart, reflected, modified, and newly arranged. The contributions that have also emerged from cooperative efforts between artists and scientists focus on the required technical/material processes and demonstrate that knowledge of medial difference is also socio-politically relevant.

The book as an imaginary space – space as an infinite book whose pages are to be stripped off: The project Claudia Larcher – Rooms, by the Viennese artist born in Bregenz in 1979, unfurls the multilayered space-time realities generated in her works. Larcher’s photographs, collages, video animations, (textile) objects and installations make spatial boundaries elastic; space continua find themselves stretched into infinity or compressed into an origin, shifted into each other or resampled. In a single act of appropriation, images of architecture, landscapes, nature, and even skin are used like found footage material in order to reconceptualize the surfaces and structures of what is real. The book visualizes the works of the artist in numerous image sequences.

Based on the findings in FAUNA (2 8), the visual artist Elena Peytchinska and the poet Thomas Ballhausen, in FLORA, continue their discourse on contemporary information and its theorization. Peytchinska's plant diagrams and Ballhausen's literary texts create a " texture" – not only of landscapes of information and the way in which they are ordered, but also of the dialogic practice of the linguistic art made readable. In the book, which is both object and place at the same time, geometric and topological strategies are combined to produce novel spatial mentation. FLORA maps these spaces and explores the networked territories with the aesthetic and scientific means of linguistic art.

As a reaction to the dominant effect and interpretive authority of the digital, Data Loam combines radical approaches based on positions taken in the international practice of contemporary art. Previously: insistence on indexicality and the instrumental reduction of knowledge. Instead: a new metric that requires play, curiosity, experiment, and risk. As an urgent response to the continually growing flood of information that libraries, search engines, and cultural institutions are exposed to, the authors develop approaches that suggest and permit sensual logic, causal permeability, and new forms of man–machine interaction. Data Loam focuses on the future of knowledge systems in texts about artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and cryptoeconomics – as a means of counteracting end-of-the-world fears.

" The tourist destroys what he seeks by finding it." (H.M. Enzensberger) In her artistic transmedia work, Catherine Ludwig investigates global phenomena of collective leisure pursuits and their effect on the Earth. Her oeuvre provides an insight into human relationships and the structures of power they are based on. Different epochs and (open) spaces are analyzed with a view to nature and public space how is public space constituted and how is it experienced by us? What are the ideas of nature that become established? And how do they form spaces that have been opened up for the purpose of tourism? There is a longing for unadulterated nature, which is marketed in images, and yet, in reality, this has become very difficult to find. Because, in the Anthropocene age, almost everything has been opened up and exploited.

Rini Tandon’s work is characterized by a poetic cross-media approach: her oeuvre comprises works on paper, paintings, and sculptures, as well as photographs and videos. This monograph provides, for the first time, an overview of the oeuvre of the artist, who was born in India and lives in Austria, and who studied under Nasreen Mohamedi at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Baroda. The book takes the reader on a fascinating journey – from Rini Tandon’s early work, which already showed an affinity for sculptural expression, through to her post-minimalist geometric sculptures and her interventions in architectural and landscape space. As a result of her engagement with digital modernism she finally produced experimental setups and videos with a scientific slant.

This choreographed book is dedicated to the phenomenon of the bare body in contemporary performance. This work of artistic research draws on philosophical, biopolitical, and ethical discourses relevant to the appearance of bare bodies in choreography, setting a framework for a reflexive movement between affect and ethics, sensuous address and response. Acts of exposure and concealment are culturally situated and anchored, and are examined for their methodological and nanopolitical significance. The concepts of anarchic responsibility and choreo-ethics lead to a reevaluation of contact, relationship, and solidarity. Choreography is thus understood as a complex field of revelatory experiences based on ecologies of aesthetic perception and ethico-political agency.

Our oceans are in an ecological crisis due to their contamination with millions of tons of toxic microplastic particles. In just a few years, the volume of microplastic particles will exceed that of plankton in our oceans and turn them into a huge sea of plastic. This publication brings together numerous international art projects related to environmental activities, DIY biotechnology, and science, and draws attention to the irreversible destruction of our marine ecosystems – the current threat posed by the loss of marine animal biodiversity, for example, or the decline in oxygen production due to massive plankton loss. It also presents current scientific findings on sustainable alternatives to plastic.

On the toxicity of the immediate What changes when we religiously worship the toxic? In this era of catastrophe, can a cosmic connection be achieved through a cult of pollution? Toxic Temple is an artistic-philosophical quest to understand the current parlous state of the world. We offer our inner contradictions and destructive lusts as objects of worship. We enter wastelands instead of new territory, leaving space for artifacts, expressing solidarity with the factual. We encounter colorful assemblages of things that connect the known cosmos, tread the shaky ground of novel divinity, inhale pungent odors that transport us to the sublime. Garbage dumps are the new temples. In a mania of sadistic composure we breathe in the here and now. Transformative forces are released, free radicals; rituals that expose the chaos that lurks beneath the surface.
