Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Metahaven is a research and design studio based in Amsterdam, who work at the 'the cutting blade between communication, aesthetics, and politics.' Through books, films, exhibitions and events, they explore the boundaries of art, politics and technology. The Hard Problem of Art explores the function of art in a time of Artificial Intelligence. In these complicated times, when the power to change things seem out of our grasp, we put a huge weight on art to transform the world; but how? Does beauty matter? Does Art have a moral purpose? As scientists map our brains when we look at a painting, what do these flashing synapses tell us about creativity? Can you tell the difference between work produced by an artist or an AI? Does the price a work sells for on the market reference its quality? What is the point if art can't reverse climate change?We are living during a time when everything is up for grabs. But Daniel van Der Velden and Vinca Kruk argue that, in this urgent age, we need to rethink what art does in the world - for the creator, the viewer, the owner. Art is a means of communion. We should stop asking whether we think it is 'good' or not. It is what moves us, and can therefore become the means through which change can happen. What is Art in the age of inequality, climate change and AI? From leading design group, Metahaven. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback or Cased Book. Condition: New. The Hard Question of Art: Cognitive Futures. Book.

Hardback. Condition: New. Art doesn't change the world directly; yet we persist in wanting it to. This book argues for a different understanding of art. In these urgent times, we need to rethink the purpose and effects of art-for the creator, the audience, the owner. Art is what moves us, and there is more to being moved than meets the eye.Through a series of thought experiments, Metahaven shows that art exists in the space between the image formed by the artist and the cognitive effort required to complete it. Art therefore is a question of perception. But what is the future of that space between image and interpretation when attention itself is collapsing?The Hard Question of Art examines the many ways that art engages perception. Exploring cognition, empathy, complexity, and physics, Metahaven ask whether our capacity to perceive art anew can withstand the pressures of our times. Does beauty matter? Does art have a moral purpose? Is art a game or puzzle that AI will transform? Is the murmuration of starlings a form of art?As our age asks us to feel and understand more at the same time, what are the cognitive futures of art.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
