Description
How art and architecture are being transformed in the digital age is a question that has yet to be fully answered. In "After Art", David Joselit explores this phenomenon, examining how artists and architects are responding to the rapid exchange of ideas facilitated by technology.
The author looks at the work of various contemporary artists and architects, including Matthew Barney, Ai Weiwei, and Sherrie Levine, among others, to develop a compelling theory of art and architecture in the age of global networks. By analyzing the ways in which images are reformatted and disseminated, Joselit reveals how works of art are crystallizing out of populations of images.
This insightful essay provides a fresh perspective on the role of technology in shaping our understanding of art and architecture, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of these fields.
