The New Normal (2017-2019) was a post-graduate program and
Speculative Urbanism think-tank within Moscow's renowned Strelka
Institute of Media, Architecture, and Design. Directed by
distinguished American social theorist Benjamin H. Bratton, the The
New Normal conducted a collaborative research to investigate the
impact of planetary-scale computation on the future of cities both
in Russia and around the world. The New Normal book, edited by
Benjamin H. Bratton, Nicolay Boyadjiev, and Nick Axel, features
twenty-two interlinked projects that were part of the research.
Published alongside are 17 lavishly illustrated contributions by
international researchers and designers that outline the wider
scope of The New Normal program's output, held together by concise
thematic texts contributed by Benjamin H. Bratton. Contributors
include many of the most influential contemporary designers,
philosophers, architects, and artists, such as Yuk Hui, Liam Young,
Anastassia Smirnova, Lydia Kallipoliti, Lev Manovich, Julieta
Aranda, Trevor Paglen, Metahaven, Keller Easterling, Robert Gerard
Pietrusko, Molly Wright Steenson, Ben Cerveny, Rival Strategy,
Geoff Manaugh, Stephanie Sherman, and Patricia Reed. The fields of
research include Speculative Megastructures, Human AI Interaction
Design, Protocols and Programs, Synthetic Cinema, Alt-Geographies,
Platform Econometrics, and Recursive Simulation. This highly
topical volume, the only comprehensive survey of research and work
produced by The New Normal program, will appeal to all readers
interested in the future of cities and urban design.
