Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A record of multimedia artist Susan Silas's work Helmbrechts Walk, 1998--2003, in which she retraced the forced march of 580 female Jewish prisoners from Germany to occupied Czechoslovakia.Helmbrechts Walk, 1998-2003 is a memorial testament to the forced march of 580 female Jewish prisoners at the end of World War II. The march began on April 13, 1945, in order to evacuate Helmbrechts, a small satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp. This work by multimedia artist Susan Silas is a visual representation of the 225 miles the prisoners were forced to march from the camp in Germany into the occupied portion of Czechoslovakia, then known as the Sudetenland. Silas set out to retrace the path of these women by spending twenty-two days on foot in Germany and the Czech Republic on the fifty-third anniversary of the march. Silas's documentation of this journey on video, in still images, and in writings is published for the first time in this book, which contains the original artwork of forty-eight archival color plates.The images are contextualized by a diary of Silas's journey juxtaposed with news clips drawn from the front pages of The New York Times from the same days in 1998--thus drawing a connection between the violent events of the past and those being witnessed in the present. In addition to the originally unbound artwork, this book includes a survivor interview with Halina Kleiner, a preface by the Holocaust scholar Brett Ashley Kaplan, and a remembrance of the women who died during this march.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A theoretical and practical analysis of how generative AI can shape dance and movement. Embodying the Artificial examines how dance creation unfolds in dialogue with generative AI and related technologies. Grounded in ethnographic research, the book focuses on the kinesthetic dimensions of human-AI interaction to explore how generative systems reshape the creation and performance of dance. Through analyses of choreographic practices involving AI avatars and other intelligent technologies, the author interrogates the ontological, epistemological, and ethical questions that arise when machines become creative partners, challenging established notions of dance, embodiment, and creativity.Bridging theory and practice, this research offers conceptual and methodological foundations for understanding human-AI interaction in dance. It introduces a clear framework for categorizing interdisciplinary creative processes with various kinds of machines and provides choreographers and movement artists with tools to navigate, design, and reflect on co-creative processes with artificial agents.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This collection of new work by international scholars on media imaginaries explores the concept as a tool for reflection. Media imaginaries are shape shifters, taking multiple forms as make believe, as thinking outside the box and as social practices. The term media imaginaries refers to the cultural and infrastructural work of texts and artefacts, audience engagement and experiences and commercial and civic organisations. Authors in the collection empirically and conceptually examine media imaginaries as multiform, providing space for dialogue on themes of political-social imaginaries, cultural-technological imaginaries and reflecting imaginaries. Media Imaginaries explores how media shapes both real and imagined experiences, examining the interplay of media practice, culture, and imagination across past, present, and future contexts. It highlights the impact of AI-enabled content and media ecologies on everyday life globally, offering fresh insights for media studies. The collection bridges multiple academic traditions, making it an important and widely relevant contribution to the field.…
