193 pp.; 23.5 x 21 cm.; glue bound; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Monograph on Trevor Paglen''''s ambitious project "The Last Pictures." Foreword by Anne Pasternak and Nato Thompson. Texts by Katie Detwiler, Joel Weisberg, Rafael Núñez, Brian L. Wardle, Karl Berggren, with a statement by EchoStar Corporation. "Since 1963, more than eight hundred spacecraft have been launched into geosynchronous orbit, forming a man-made ring of satellites around the Earth. These satellites are destined to become the longest-lasting artifacts of human civilization, quietly floating through space long after every trace of humanity has disappeared from the planet. Trevor Paglen''''s The Last Pictures is a project that marks one of these spacecraft with a visual record of our contemporary historical moment. Paglen spent five years interviewing scientists, artists, anthropologists, and philosophers to consider what such a cultural mark should be. Working with materials scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Paglen developed an artifact designed to last billions of years--an ultra-archival disc, micro-etched with one hundred photographs and encased in a gold-plated shell. In Fall 2012, the communications satellite EchoStar XVI will launch into geostationary orbit with the disc mounted to its anti-earth deck. While the satellite''''s broadcast images are as fleeting as the light-speed radio waves they travel on, The Last Pictures will remain in outer space slowly circling the Earth until the Earth itself is no more. The conversation surrounding the selected images is vast and requires extraordinary specificity. More than a catalogue, The Last Pictures published with University of California Press acts as a critical compendium in examining the decision and implications of these 100 photographs." -- publisher''''s statement.

Utilizing the latest technology to create a "realer than real" experience, Haluk Akakce's work stages a confrontation between artificial and organic life, suggesting both the liberating and alienating power of technology, and evoking an alternate fluid sense of space and time. According to art critic Alex Farquharson, Akakce opens a view into "a world of seemingly endless possibility where it seems one may become anything simply by believing in its possibility.".…
