Der Künstler und Architekt Christian Waldvogel (*1971) vertrat 2004 die Schweiz an der Architekturbiennale in Venedig. Seither ist er in der internationalen Kunstszene durch eigenwillige konzeptuelle Arbeiten aufgefallen. In den Medien Fotografie, Video und digitale Bilderzeugung realisiert, thematisieren die teilweise spektakulären Installationen die Erde im Sonnensystem und den Menschen in seiner Lebenswelt. Waldvogel entwickelt eigentliche Gedankenexperimente, wobei er sich dabei auf wissenschaftlich gesicherte Daten stützt. So hat er etwa Vertreter der NASA oder der Schweizer Luftwaffe für die Mitarbeit an Projekten gewinnen können. Diese erste Monografie über Christian Waldvogels Schaffen gibt - über die Darstellung von neun Projekten aus den letzten sechs Jahren - einen Einblick in seine ungewöhnliche, stark narrative Bilder- und Ideenwelt. Mit Texten zu jedem Projekt und einem Essay des Frieze-Co-Chefredaktors Jörg Heiser....

"The rapidly increasing population notice that their planet will soon be too small. The Earth is dismantled to provide building material. This is taken away to create Globus Cassus, a new, much bigger habitat, thought out from scratch"....

Sabina Lang und Daniel Baumann arbeiten seit 1990 zusammen und bilden das bekannte Schweizer Künstlerduo Lang/Baumann. Ihr Werk umfasst Installationen, Skulpturen, Wand- oder Bodenmalereien und architektonische Interventionen. Dieses Buch zeigt erstmals alle in den 33 Jahren ihres Wirkens gefertigten Modelle für die künstlerischen Arbeiten. Es bildet so einen Werkkatalog über ihr Gesamtschaffen anhand dieser Miniaturen und zeigt auch Projekte, die nie über das Modellstadium hinaus entwickelt wurden. Wofür ein Modell gebaut wird, ist entscheidend: Soll etwas dreidimensional skizziert, überprüft oder präsentiert werden? Lang/Baumann arbeiten mit drei Typen. Das Ideenmodell ist schnell gefertigt, fragil und manifestiert einen Gedanken. Anhand des Arbeitsmodells werden formale oder technische Details überprüft. Das Präsentationsmodell schliesslich entsteht erst nach Abschluss des Entwurfsprozesses, zeigt das Ergebnis und ist meist aufwendig gebaut. Essays zur Ikonografie im Werk von Lang/Baumann und über das Spielerische im Modellbau begleiten die rund 100 Abbildungen. Ein Gespräch mit Sabina Lang und Daniel Baumann rundet das Buch ab....

American Pentecostalism began as a culturally isolated sect intent upon announcing the imminence of the world's end. The sect's early millenarian fervor gradually became muted in favor of flag-waving patriotism. At the end of the twentieth century it has become an affluent, worldwide movement thoroughly entrenched in popular culture. Edith Blumhofer uses the Assemblies of God, the largest classical Pentecostal denomination in the world, as a lens through which to view the changing nature of Anglo Pentecostalism in the United States. She illustrates how the original mission to proclaim the end resulted in the development of Bible schools, the rise of the charismatic movement, and the popularity of such figures as Aimee Semple McPherson, Charles Fox Parham, and David Du Plessis. Blumhofer also examines the sect's use of radio and television and the creation of a parallel Christian culture...

Lives of the Planets describes a scientific field in the midst of a revolution. Planetary science has mainly been a descriptive science, but it is becoming increasingly experimental. The space probes that went up between the 1960s and 1990s were primarily generalists-they collected massive amounts of information so that scientists could learn what questions to pursue. But recent missions have become more focused: Scientists know better what information they want and how to collect it. Even now probes are on their way to Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto, with Europa-one of Jupiter's moons-on the agenda. In a sweeping look into the manifold objects inhabiting the depths of space, Lives of the Planets delves into the mythology and the knowledge humanity has built over the ages. Placing our current understanding in historical context, Richard Corfield explores the seismic shifts in planetary astronomy and probes why we must change our perspective of our place in the universe. In our era of extraordinary discovery, this is the first comprehensive survey of this new understanding and the history of how we got here....

The introduction to the 1st International Conference on Computers for Han- cappedPersons(Vienna,1989)byAMinTjoa(UniversityofVienna)andRoland Wagner(UniversityofLinz)?nishedwiththefollowingmissionstatementonthe “Future Direction on Computers for Handicapped Persons”: “The di?erent themes show that a lot of problems are solved by the usage of computer technology for helping handicapped persons, for instance for the blind and visually handicapped. A consequence of the discussed themes there are two directions which should be done in the next years. One direction is obvious. The tools must be improved and research and development work should be extended to all groups of handicapped (even if they are numerically not so large as for instancetheblindorvisuallyhandicappedpersons). Ontheothersideinthearea of social implications there is an increasing demand on social science studies on overall computer use among disabled persons. Because sources are in principle missing today about disabled persons work tasks, research in this ?eld must begin by trying to survey this aspect. Particular attention should be paid to the extent and character of computer use among the handicapped in work life. There are a lot of questions, which should be answered during the next years for reaching the aim of rehabilitation. ” Fifteen years later the 9th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs (Paris, 2004) o?ered a comprehensive and deepened view on general awareness,special research and individual applications conce- ing disabled people and their participation in our society....

Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared....
