Application of heat to clay transforms it into a ceramic, and thus
the history and technical features of structures supplying that
heat - kilns - are of considerable importance. The 14 chapters in
this volume discuss ancient and historic kilns from the viewpoint
of their excavation, their operational principles, and their
contributions to an understanding of ceramic production within
ancient economies.
Nano is Greek for dwarf and the word nanotechnology 'was first
proposed in the early seventies by a Japanese engineer, Norio
Taniguchi, implying a new technology that went beyond controlling
materials and engineering on the micrometer scale that dominated
the 20th Century'. The content for this book has been based on a
self-emergent process. It explores an art historical understanding
of matter and uses various hypotheses to elucidate the effects on
materiality and agency as a result of the emergence of
nanotechnology. The blurring of material boundaries are reflected
in the establishment of a fluid organic spatial narrative in which
to place ideas, propositions and concerns. A cornerstone of the
book is the concept posed in the philosophical writings of
Lucretius of the unpredictability of the atoms' swerve and its
formative role in the beginning of all matter, form, life and
individuality. It focusses on the concepts of vibration, vitalism,
life and materiality and extends the artist's concepts of agency in
relation to matter.
