Turbulence and Reconstruction is an anthology of 13 interdisciplinary essays. They focus on the question of how art, design and technology can contribute to viewing social and environmental problems in a new way. The essays illustrate the complex relationship between cause and effect. They depart from the common 'all black or all white' approach, and ask whether change is not also part of natural development.

About this title

Synopsis

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The authors believe that the arts and the sciences are effective spaces to encourage us to think differently about our outdated concepts of representation and categorization and reconstruct new potentials about how the designs of the future might benefit our environment and the survival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.
