Description
Between the Material and the Possible: Infrastructural Re-examination and Speculation in Art By Bassam El Baroni MIT Press, 2022, Paperback, 312 pages. This collection of new essays brings together critical analysis from a broad group of contributors exploring the revisioning of our infrastructural futures. They examine local and global relationalities, historical and political legacies, as well as future-oriented infrastructural hypotheses. The authors' interrogations span topics such as space settlements, blockchain infrastructures, and scenario planning. The book is part of a growing trend in art and theory that seeks to move beyond institutional critique towards infrastructural critique or speculation. This approach addresses major challenges like financialization and climate change, offering new perspectives on the potential of creative infrastructure-related visions and scenarios.
