This book celebrates and seeks to understand the overlooked
appearances of hybrid forms in visual culture; artefacts and
practices that meld or interweave incongruous elements in
innovative ways. And with an emphasis on the material aspects of
such entities, the book adopts the term 'mixed form' for them.
Focusing on key phenomena in the last half millennium such as the
cabinet of curiosities, the broadside ballad and the chapbook as
early forms of image-text, the scrapbook, assemblage, and, in
digital times, so-called 'mixed reality,' the book argues that
while the quality of inconsistency is traditionally dismissed, its
expression nevertheless plays a vital role in social life.
Crucially, Mixed Forms of Visual Culture relates its phenomena to
the emergence of the division of labour under capitalism and
addresses the shifting relationships between art and life, when
singularity and uniformity are variously valued and dismissed in
the two arenas, and at different points in history. Two of the
book's chapters take the form of visual essays, with one comprising
an anthology of found scrapbook pages and the other offering an
analysis of artists' scrapbooks. The book is richly illustrated
throughout.
The NODE.London Reader projects a critical context around the
Season of Media Arts in London March 2006 and provides another
discursive dimension to the events of October 2005's Open Season.

media arts and activism, collaborative practices and the political
economy of cultural production in the present day. It includes
essays and artist projects from Sabeth Buchmann, Toni Prug, Armin
Medosch, Simon Yuill, Chad McCail, Critical Art Ensemble, Jo Walsh,
Richard Barbrook, Michael Corris, Harwood, Kate Rich, Agnese
Trocchi, Matthew Fuller, Rasmus Fleischer and Palle Torsson, Brett
Neilson and Ned Rossiter, Matteo Pasquinelli and Francis McKee.
