商品簡介
In this challenging but exhilarating work, Sha Xin Wei argues for an approach tomateriality inspired by continuous mathematics and process philosophy. Investigating theimplications of such an approach to media and matter in the concrete setting of installation- orevent-based art and technology, Sha maps a genealogy of topological media -- that is, of anarticulation of continuous matter that relinquishes a priori objects, subjects, and egos and yetconstitutes value and novelty. Doing so, he explores the ethico-aesthetic consequences oftopologically creating performative events and computational media. Sha's interdisciplinaryinvestigation is informed by thinkers ranging from Heraclitus to Alfred North Whitehead to GilbertSimondon to Alain Badiou to Donna Haraway to Gilles Deleuze and FelixGuattari.
Sha traces the critical turn from representation to performance, citinga series of installation-events envisioned and built over the past decade. His analysis offers afresh way to conceive and articulate interactive materials of new media, one inspired by continuity,field, and philosophy of process. Sha explores the implications of this for philosophy and socialstudies of technology and science relevant to the creation of research and art. Weaving togetherphilosophy, aesthetics, critical theory, mathematics, and media studies, he shows how thinking aboutthe world in terms of continuity and process can be informed by computational technologies, and whatsuch thinking implies for emerging art and technology.
