Perceptive and entertaining investigations of digital
culture.
For a growing number of people, virtual activities on the internet
are becoming more significant than the lives they actually lead in
the real world. Others are skeptical or even alarmed by the
seemingly inevitable technological developments in our digital age.
In his work, Aram Bartholl investigates this dichotomy and the
blurred dynamics in between with a playfully ironic ingenuity.
This first comprehensive monograph offers entry to Bartholl's
entertaining art in which space and cyberspace mingle and mangle
each other--a realm that uses as little technology as possible
while still speaking a digital language. Aram Bartholl: The Speed
Book features savvy experiments with transitions from the virtual
to the physical: USB sticks embedded into walls, buildings, and
curbs; giant real-life versions of Google's red map markers
positioned in public spaces; portraits generated from search
results.
An introduction by critic and curator Domenico Quaranta as well as
essays by science fiction writer Bruce Sterling, art critics, and
fellow artists guide readers through a wonderfully skewed version
of our society under the influence of the internet, something
Sterling refers to as Bartholl's "self-created twilight zone."
