Description

In this groundbreaking book, Charissa Terranova unearths a forgotten narrative of modernism, which charts the influence that biology, General Systems Theory and cybernetics had on art in the twentieth century. From kinetic and interactive art to early computer art and installations spanning an entire city, she shows that the digital image was a rich and expansive artistic medium of modernism. This book links the emergence of the digital image to the dispersion of biocentric aesthetic philosophies developed by Bauhaus pedagogue Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, from 1920s Berlin to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s. It uncovers seminal but overlooked references to biology, the organism, feedback loops, emotions and the Gestalt, along with an intricate genealogy of related thinkers across disciplines. Terranova interprets anew major art movements such as the Bauhaus, Op Art and Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), by referencing contemporary insights from architects, embryologists, electrical engineers and computer scientists, among others.This book reveals the complex connections between visual culture, science and technology that comprise the deep history of twentieth-century art." Review 'Charissa Terranova follows the development of the modernist design movement from Bauhaus to MIT and discovers a smart, healthful, and integrated view of humans and nature. Gone is the monolithic view of modernism as environmentally and socially destructive. Instead, Art as Organism offers a thoughtful piece of scholarship that reverses conventional design and art history, thanks to its novel affective lens.' - Peder Anker, Associate Professor of History of Science, Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University; 'In this innovative text, Charissa Terranova exposes the crucial impact that biology, systems theory and cybernetics had on twentieth century art and the significance of that influence for aptly understanding the modernist narrative. By meticulously tracing the emergence of the digital image through the lens of science and technology, Art as Organism beautifully recounts the prehistory of contemporary visual culture.' - Associate Professor Hadas A. Steiner, Department of Architecture, School of Architecture and Planning, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York About the Author Charissa N. Terranova is Associate Professor of Aesthetic Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, USA.
