The cultivation of transdisciplinary practices. A work by many
This is not a Gardening Book collects essays and glossary entries that open new pathways for doing more-than-disciplinary educational work. The contributors to this volume – students, scholars, and artists from a diverse range of intellectual and disciplinary backgrounds – explore the transformative potential of education that does not stop at disciplinary and institutional borders. The book is meant to be taken up as a “tool to think with”. May it serve as a catalyst for thinking about and experimenting with new modalities of transdisciplinary teaching and learning.

Too Big to Scale. On Scaling Space, Number, Time and Energy | Florain Dombois, Julie Harboe (eds.)
CHF 29.00
The result of a 2015 symposium at Zurich University of the Arts, Too Big To Scale brings together essays by a diverse interdisciplinary group of artists, designers, engineers, and scholars who explore the significance of scale within their respective disciplines. The contributions take as their point of departure the camera, which combines three pathways for scaling—film speed, lens size and speed, and frame rates for fast and slow motion. The possibility of copying images adds a fourth variable, replication. The camera, as the contributors show, does not merely depict our world but can also be seen as actively producing our thoughts and imagination.

Creating Visibility in the Field of Art
Publication practices in the art world are diverse – whether in the form of exhibiting and publishing art, writing about art, or presenting the outcomes of artistic and curatorial research and practice. It is only through publication that the results of artistic work are made accessible to an audience or participants – a performative act and, at the same time, an entry into a marketplace of money, attention or the symbolic.
