Surface is one of the most intensely debated topics in recent arts,
humanities and social science scholarship. The changing
technologies which manufacture the actual and virtual surfaces of
today are radically altering our perception of thresholds and
borders. In contrast to the responses to preceding industrial
revolutions, contemporary concerns with surface seem preoccupied
with its function of mediation or passage, rather than with that of
separation or boundary. In Surface and Apparition, each chapter
explores a different meaning and function of the material and
immaterial qualities of 'surface'. Case studies include various
surfaces from computer screens, 'artisanal' engines and glass
architecture to gauzy veils, the planetary surface of supply chain
capitalism, and spatial embodiment in street markets. International
scholars of design, architecture, film, media, fine art, fashion,
textiles, silversmithing, woodworking and archival practices
account for how the material and the immaterial draw attention to
each other in both their everyday and artistic practice. Each
chapter addresses particular systems (from the human body to
manually operated tools and machines); materials (for instance
cloth, wood and light); modes of attention, movement and
engagement. 'Surface' therefore functions in this book as a
multidisciplinary method for attending to critical issues
concerning human creative and technological endeavours.
