Living Surfaces: Images, Plants, And Environments Of Media (Leonardo),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An investigation of aesthetics and visualizations of planetary surfaces from an experimental media theory perspective.What if every vista, every islandindeed, every geographical feature on Earthcould be viewed as an art object? In Living Surfaces, Abelardo GilFournier and Jussi Parikka explore how the surface of the Earth has, over the last two centuries, become known and perceived as an environment of images. Living Surfaces features a range of case studies from eighteenthcentury experiments with and observations of vegetal matter, photosynthesis, and plant physiology to twentyfirstcentury machine vision and AI techniques of calculating agricultural and other landscape surfaces. Mapping these different scales of vegetal images, GilFournier and Parikka help us understand core questions that pertain to the artistic and architectural reference points for the Anthropocene.With 42 blackandwhite and fullcolor illustrations, Living Surfaces is an engaging and unique take on environmental surfaces as they come to occupy a central place in our understanding of planetary change.
