This full colour coffee table book celebrates Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture – those who create it and those who honour it. The reader is invited to join Stuart Danks on a journey through the fascinating history of Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture and its relevance today.

Readers learn about the process whereby stone is mined, transported great distances, and then skillfully carved by hand into magnificent pieces of art, many of which can be found in museums, galleries, hotels, official buildings and homes throughout the world.

The book includes information about some of the main artists who have created the sculpture that continues to fascinate the world, accompanied by beautiful photographs of their work.

Why do Japanese artists team up with engineers in order to create so-called "Device Art"? What is a nanoscientist's motivation in approaching the artworld? In the past few years, there has been a remarkable increase in attempts to foster the exchange between art, technology, and science - an exchange taking place in academies, museums, or even in research laboratories. Media art has proven especially important in the dialogue between these cultural fields. This book is a contribution to the current debate on "art & science", interdisciplinarity, and the discourse of innovation. It critically assesses artistic positions that appear as the ongoing attempt to localize art's position within technological and societal change - between now and the future.
