Paperback. Condition: Good. Why 1 = presence and 0 = absence and the digital world formula is x = xn: an exploration of meaning in a universe of infinite replication. In the beginning was the Zero, and the Zero was with God, and God was the One. -All and Nothing In 1854, the British mathematician George Boole presented the idea of a universe the elements of which could be understood in terms of the logic of absence and presence: 0 and 1, all and nothing-the foundation of binary code. The Boolean digits 0 and 1 do not designate a quantity. In the Boolean world, x times x always equals x; all and nothing meet in the formula x = xn. As everything becomes digitized, God the clockmaker is replaced by God the programmer. This book-described by its authors as "a theology for the digital world"-explores meaning in a digital age of infinite replication, in a world that has dissolved into information and achieved immortality by turning into a pure sign. All and Nothing compares information that spreads without restraint to a hydra-the mythological monster that grew two heads for every one that was cut off. Information is thousand-headed and thousand-eyed because Hydra's tracks cannot be deleted. It shows that when we sit in front of a screen, we are actually on the other side, looking at the world as an uncanny reminder of the nondigitized. It compares our personal data to our shadows and our souls, envisioning the subconscious laid out on a digital bier like a corpse. The digital world, the authors explain, summons forth fantasies of a chiliastic or apocalyptic nature. The goal of removing the representative from mathematics has now been achieved on a greater scale than Boole could have imagined.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The minds eye as a design principle Lucius Burckhardt (19252003) outlined his theory of the smallest possible intervention back in the early 1980s. The idea of minimal intervention runs through his entire oeuvre, from his critique of urbanism to the science of walking. The smallest possible intervention denotes a planning theory that assumes two views within landscape design: that which is actually visible and that in our minds eye. The theory of the minimal intervention means not interfering excessively with the existing landscape, but instead working with the landscape in our minds to develop an aesthetic understanding of the environment. In this book, available for the first time in English, the Swiss sociologist applies this formula to many areas of design. Intellectual distillation of Lucius Burckhardts theories available for the first time in English Exploration of the relationships between planning and building Rationalization and needs Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The Swiss company Baloise has a reputation among art experts, but not just as an insurance and financial services company. With its programs that support art, its collaborations with museums, and the renowned Baloise Art Prize for young artists, which is awarded at Art Basel, the company has had a lasting effect on the development of contemporary art. Less well-known up to now is the fact that, parallel to the company's activities, it has also built a first-class art collection, which dates back to the mid-twentieth century. Since turning to contemporary art in the 1990s, the company has collected the works of notable artists. With a focus on photography and works on paper from the 1960s onward, some of the artists represented in the collection are Miriam Cahn, Simon Denny, Katharina Fritsch, Bruce Nauman, and Jeff Wall. Baloise Art is the first publication to provide a broader audience with an overview of the collection. Informative texts by prestigious authors accompany the artworks.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Die Sichtweise als Designprinzip Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) schrieb seine Theorie Der kleinstmögliche Eingriff bereits Anfang der 1980er-Jahre. Die Idee des minimalen Eingriffs zieht sich durch sein gesamtes Werk, von der Kritik des Urbanismus bis zur Wissenschaft des Gehens. Der "kleinstmögliche Eingriff" steht für eine Planungstheorie, die auf der Ebene der Landschaftsgestaltung davon ausgeht, dass es zwei "Landschaften" gibt: die tatsächlich sichtbare und die in unseren Köpfen. Die Theorie des kleinsten Eingriffs bedeutet, nicht mit gewaltigen Mitteln in die bestehende Landschaft einzugreifen, sondern auf das Landschaftsbild in unseren Köpfen einzuwirken und ein ästhetisches Verständnis der Umwelt zu schaffen. Der Schweizer Soziologe wendet in diesem erstmals auf Englisch erhältlichen Buch die Formel auf viele Gestaltungsbereiche an. Gedankliches Konzentrat von Lucius Burckhardts Theorien erstmals auf Englisch Zusammenhänge der Planung und des Bauwesens Rationalisierung und Bedürfnisse.…
