The twenty-first century has been marked by our almost boundless ability to imagine things at a larger, or smaller, size; at a faster speed; capable of solving complex problems using less energy. Our imagination on the topic of scale has driven technological progress, but it has also long inspired the creation of art. With the onset of industrialization in the nineteenth century, experimentation with scale across almost all disciplines accelerated to an entirely different dimension.<\/p>\n

Was w\u00e4re das 21. Jahrhundert ohne eine Vergangenheit massloser Skalierung? Der technologische Fortschritt lebt wesentlich von der gedanklichen F\u00e4higkeit des Menschen, sich Dinge gr\u00f6sser oder kleiner vorzustellen, Prozesse schneller oder langsamer zu imaginieren oder Energien in der Vorstellung zu verst\u00e4rken oder zu reduzieren. Diese F\u00e4higkeit begleitet den Menschen zwar seit den Anf\u00e4ngen der Kunst und ihrer Repr\u00e4sentation, nahm aber seit der Industrialisierung nochmals ganz andere Dimensionen an.<\/p>\n
Dieses Buch versammelt Beitr\u00e4ge von 14 Vertreterinnen und Vertretern aus Kunst, Kunstgeschichte, Systemdesign, Kulturanalyse und Aerodynamik, die sich an der Z\u00fcrcher Hochschule der K\u00fcnste ZHdK zur Diskussion der Bedeutung des Skalierens in ihren jeweiligen Disziplinen getroffen haben. Ausgangspunkt war dabei die Kamera, die mit Linse, Zeitlupe\/Zeitraffer, Filmempfindlichkeit bereits drei Dimensionen des Skalierens in ihrem Apparat vereint. Die Vervielf\u00e4ltigung als vierte Dimension l\u00e4sst den vermeintlichen Abbildungsapparat zur Denk- und Vorstellungsmaschine avancieren.<\/p>\n

The result of a 2015 symposium at Zurich University of the Arts, Too Big To Scale<\/em> 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\u2014film 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.<\/p>\n 208 pages, Scheidegger & Spiess, 2017
