Neuromedia is an innovative examination of shared territories in
neurobiological anatomy, physiology and media art. It reveals how
scientists investigate perception and behaviour at the molecular,
cellular and systems level. It demonstrates how interpretative
forms of media art can help to demystify these complexities for
diverse audiences. Under the reflective headings of inspiration,
construction, challenges and reactions, it offers deep insights
into the processes of art and science production. Assisted by
essays from a museum director and an art historian, Neuromedia
provides the background for readers about an exhibition of the same
name at KULTURAMA in Zurich (2012), and suggests an alternative
approach to scientific communication. Authors: Robert Atkins,
Oliver Biehlmaier, Mitchel Paul Levesque, Stephan Neuhauss, Rolf
Pfeifer, Claudia Rutsche, Jill Scott and Esther Stoeckli

Turbulence and Reconstruction is an anthology of viewpoints on
society from the arts and the sciences. The authors believe that
the arts and the sciences are effective spaces to encourage us to
think differently about our outdated concepts of representation and
categorization and reconstruct new potentials about how the designs
of the future might benefit our environment and the survival of our
bodies. Essential to all writers is the need to drop our old
disciplinary boundaries to question our interdependent relationship
to technology and to reality. Turbulence and reconstruction are
processes that not only affect our representation and
categorization, urban nature and energy consumption but also our
relation to media and technology - the digital ideologies of
interaction and substitution.

Jill Scott's first-ever poetry collection delivers the same
earthy, personal, and tell-it-like-it-is voice that fans have grown
to know and love. Writing poems and keeping journals since 1991,
she shares her personal poetry collection in "The Moments, The
Minutes, The Hours." Praised for her honestly erotic, soulful and
very real lyrics, Jill Scott uncovers the beauty in healing, the
comfort of family, and the stunning vitality of life.
The interfaces between art and the scientific disciplines of
biology, environmental science, neuroscience, and physics pose
interdisciplinary questions that are an inspiration to researchers.
The authors compare artists' experimentation set-ups and thereby
reveal new levels of knowledge. The examples in the Artists-in-Labs
program illustrate how artists approach problems and, in this way,
create new tools for science. The authors of this illustrated
volume of essays include Harriet Hawkins, Irene Hediger, Jill
Scott, Arnd Schneider , Susanne Witzgall, Lisa Blackman, Jens
Hauser and Dieter Mersch.
This book verifies the need for the arts and the sciences to work
together in order to develop more creative and conceptual
approaches to innovation and presentation. By blending
ethnographical case studies, scientific viewpoints and critical
essays, the focus of this research inquiry is the lab context. For
scientists, the lab context is one of the most important
educational experiences. For contemporary artists, laboratories are
inspiring spaces to investigate, share know-how transfer and search
for new collaboration potentials. The nine labs represented in this
book are from the natural, computing and engineering sciences. An
enclosed comprehensive DVD documents the results, the problems and
serves as a guideline for the future of true Art/Sci experiments.
"Electra's story is essentially a tale of murder, revenge, and
violence. In the ancient myth of Atreus, Agamemnon returns home
from battle and receives no hero's welcome. Instead, he is greeted
with an ax, murdered in his bath by his wife, Clytemnestra, and her
lover-accomplice, Aegisthus. Electra chooses anger over sorrow and
stops at nothing to ensure that her mother pays. In revenge,
Electra, with the help of her brother, orchestrates a brutal and
bloody matricide, and her reward is the restitution of her father's
good name. Amid all this chaos, Electra, Agamemnon's princess
daughter, must bear the humiliation of being treated as a slave
girl and labeled a madwoman." from the IntroductionAlmost everyone
knows about Oedipus and his mother, and many readers would put the
Oedipus myth at the forefront of Western collective mythology. In
Electra after Freud, Jill Scott leaves that couple behind and
argues convincingly for the primacy of the countermyth of Agamemnon
and his daughter. Through a lens of Freudian and feminist
psychoanalysis, this book views renderings of the Electra myth in
twentieth-century literature and culture.Scott reads several
pivotal texts featuring Electra to demonstrate what she calls "a
narrative revolt" against the dominance of Oedipus as archetype.
Situating the Electra myth within a framework of psychoanalysis,
medicine, opera, and dance, Scott investigates the heroine's role
at the intersections of history and the feminine, eros and
thanatos, hysteria and melancholia. Scott analyzes Electra
adaptations by H.D., Hofmannsthal and Strauss, Musil, and Plath and
highlights key moments in the telling and reception of the Electra
myth in the modern imagination."
