Cutting Edge Women's Research Group | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

A celebration and analysis of the possibilities offered by emerging new technologies to cut across conventional disciplinary boundaries and to challenge received ideas about gender, identity, the body, subjectivism and space. The book assembles original writings and images from varied fields and practices that together develop a wide perspective on three main areas: designing bodies; territories of information; and spatial perceptions. Contributions by critics, designers and theorists are presented alongside images by artists working in the UK, North America and continental Europe. They demonstrate to teachers and their students across the visual media, as well as to designers and museum curators, how demarcated areas of learning and making can be reshaped through fresh ways of understanding and by the use of new technologies.
