In-depth readings of works by Rist, Piccinini, and Mori explore such questions as the role of the contemporary art museum in our experience of media art, how the human is conceived of by biotechnologies, and how installation art can complicate and enrich contemporary science's understanding of the brain. With vivid, firsthand descriptions of the artworks, Mondloch takes the reader inside immersive installation pieces, showing how they allow us to inhabit challenging theoretical concepts and nonanthropomorphic perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStriving to think beyond the anthropocentric and fully consider the material world, \u003ci\u003eA Capsule Aesthetic\u003c\/i\u003e brings new approaches to questions surrounding our technology-saturated culture and its proliferation of human-to-nonhuman interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Mondloch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517900492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517900496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018","brand":"Kate Mondloch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079396749567,"sku":"9781517900496","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec113a72-b749-4c49-a15b-9838dbcb492c.jpg?v=1685480906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-capsule-aesthetic-kate-mondloch-9781517900496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
