Preview Anti-Media: Ephemera on Speculative Arts

Description:
"Anti-Media" links hands-on perspective on artistic practice and unique insights into underground and subculture with art and media theory, both (at times) scientifically rigorous and detached from academic conventions.Literature written in the style of computer code, electro-acoustic compositions with newly created sounds, but also subcultures with clearly identifiable manifestations, from Internet porn to neo-Nazis and anti-copyright activists: high-, low- and subculture have long been impossible to distinguish, including in the degree of their self-reference. Art and media criticism focuses mainly on the concepts, not on the objects themselves. In Anti-Media Florian Cramer shows, through a close reading of cultural expressions and analysis of media and art criticism, how these constantly refer to their tradition, language and medium while trying to subvert them.Florian Cramer is a practice-oriented literature, art and media researcher and theorist. He has been writing about literature and the Internet and about computer culture and art, copyleft and the theory and politics of media and art since 1996.
