In Price's work, this is often expressed in terms of the \"skins\" of surface, packaging and wrapping: he has made photographic studies of a person's skin obtained through the technologies Google employs for mapping, vacuum-formed plastic reliefs presenting a body part stranded in plastic and large wall sculptures depicting the negative space between two people engaged in intimate action, greatly enlarged from a tiny internet jpeg. Price's work offers a fascinating engagement with our technologically mediated lives; these issues are tackled in this volume by a veritable who's-who of artists and writers working on similar themes, including Cory Arcangel, Ed Halter, Branden Joseph, John Kelsey, Michelle Kuo, Rachel Kushner, Laura Owens and Ariana Reines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3960981120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783960981121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Koenig Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.30h x 9.90w x 1.60d","brand":"Seth Price","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983494021375,"sku":"9783960981121","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc73e4ed-72e9-4065-b16f-996dce77aaf4.jpg?v=1683266980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seth-price-seth-price-9783960981121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
