Kirby, David A. Lab coats in Hollywood: science, scientists, and cinema. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2011, xiv, 265pp., very good dust-jacket, very good white hardcover. Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", released in 1968, is perhaps the most scientifically accurate film ever produced. The film presented such a plausible, realistic vision of space flight that many moon hoax proponents believe that Kubrick staged the 1969 moon landing using the same studios and techniques. Kubrick's scientific verisimilitude in 2001 came courtesy of his science consultants--including two former NASA scientists--; and the more than sixty-five companies, research organizations, and government agencies that offered technical advice. Although most filmmakers don't consult experts as extensively as Kubrick, films ranging from "A Beautiful Mind" and "Contact" to "Finding Nemo and "The Hulk" have achieved some degree of scientific credibility because of science consultants. In Lab Coats in Hollywood, David Kirby examines the interaction of science and cinema: how science consultants make movie science plausible, how filmmakers negotiate scientific accuracy within production constraints, and how movies affect popular perceptions of science. - CONTENTS: Scientific expertise in Hollywood : the interactions between scientific and entertainment cultures -- Cinematic science : scientific representation, film realism, and virtual witnessing technologies -- Valuing expertise : the entertainment industry's and scientific community's motivations in the science consulting relationship -- Scientists on screen : being a scientist, looking like a lab -- Cinematic fact checking : negotiating scientific facts within filmmaking culture -- Best guesses : scientific uncertainty, flexibility, and scientists in the aisles -- Fantastically logical : fantastic science, speculative scenarios, and the expertise of logic -- Preventing future disasters : science consultants and the enhancement of cinematic disasters -- The future is now : diegetic prototypes and the role of cinematic narratives in generating real-world technological development -- Improving science, improving entertainment : the significance of scientists in Hollywood.

PAPERBACK, very good, probably unused, with slightest wear to top corners. remainder stamp on top foredge. ROBINSON, JULIA, ed. . John Cage. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2011, 1st printing number line ending in 1, x, 220pp., . October files, 12. - John Cage (1912-1992) defined a radical practice of composition that changed the course of modern music and shaped a new conceptual horizon for postwar art. Famous for his use of chance and "silence" in musical works, a pioneer in electronic music and the nonstandard use of instruments, Cage was one of the most influential composers of the last century. This volume traces a trajectory of writings on the artist, from the earliest critical reactions to the scholarship of today. If the first writing on Cage in the American context, often written by close associates with Cage's involvement, seemed lacking in critical distance, younger scholars--a generation removed--have recently begun to approach the legacy from a new perspective, with more developed theoretical frameworks and greater skepticism. This book captures that evolution. The texts include discussions of Cage's work in the context of the New Music scene in Germany in the 1950s; Yvonne Rainer's essay looking back on Cage and New York experimentalism of the 1960s; a complex and original mapping of Cage's place in a wider avant-garde genealogy that includes Le Corbusier and Moholy-Nagy; a musicologist's account of Cage's process of defining and formalizing his concept of indeterminacy; and an analysis of Cage's project that considers his strategies of self-representation as key to his unique impact on modern and postmodern art. - CONTENTS: John Cage, or liberated music (1959) / Heinz-Klaus Metzger -- Chance as ideology (1967) / Konrad Boehmer -- Looking myself in the mouth (1981) / Yvonne Rainer -- Cage and Asia: history and sources (1996) / David W. Patterson -- John Cage and the architecture of silence (1997) / Branden W. Joseph -- Post-Cagean aesthetics and the event score (2001) / Liz Kotz -- The formalization of indeterminacy in 1958: John Cage and the experimental composition at the New School (2008) / Rebecca Y.

Trade Paperback. Etat : New. In 2006, even though he could barely type, China's most famous artist started blogging. For more than three years, Ai Weiwei turned out a steady stream of scathing social commentary, criticism of government policy, thoughts on art and architecture, and autobiographical writings. He wrote about the Sichuan earthquake (and posted a list of the schoolchildren who died because of the government's 'tofu-dregs engineering'), reminisced about Andy Warhol and the East Village art scene, described the irony of being investigated for 'fraud' by the Ministry of Public Security, made a modest proposal for tax collection. Then, on June 1, 2009, Chinese authorities shut down the blog. This book offers a collection of Ai's notorious online writings translated into English--the most complete, public documentation of the original Chinese blog available in any language.The New York Times called Ai 'a figure of Warholian celebrity.' He is a leading figure on the international art scene, a regular in museums and biennials, but in China he is a manifold and controversial presence: artist, architect, curator, social critic, justice-seeker. He was a consultant on the design of the famous 'Bird's Nest' stadium but called for an Olympic boycott; he received a Chinese Contemporary Art 'lifetime achievement award' in 2008 but was beaten by the police in connection with his 'citizen investigation' of earthquake casualties in 2009. Ai Weiwei's Blog documents Ai's passion, his genius, his hubris, his righteous anger, and his vision for China. Manifestos and immodest proposals from China's most famous artist and activist, culled from his popular blog, shut down by Chinese authorities in 2009.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Since the 1960s, Dan Graham's heterogeneous practice has touched on suchdisparate subjects as tract housing, the Shakers, punk music, and architecturaltheory; he has made videos, architectural models, closed-circuit installations, andglass pavilions. Graham, who came of age during the emergence of earth art, minimalism, and conceptualism, has situated his work on the borders between thesedifferent strains of contemporary practice. Although varying widely in subject andmedium, Graham's artwork and writings display a consistent interest inspectatorship, public-private relationships, and the constructed environment.Graham's extensive writings on his own work (collected in Rock My Religion andTwo-Way Mirror Power, both published by the MIT Press) have made him, by default, the primary interpreter of his own art. This October Files volume provides acounterweight, gathering key texts by critics and theorists that offer alternativeaccounts of Graham's art. The essays span thirty years and include hard-to-findtexts from exhibition catalogs and journals. The authors include such distinguishedtheorists, critics, and artists as Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Beatriz Colomina, Thierryde Duve, and Jeff Wall. A collection of essayson a key figure in postminimalist art, with texts spanning thirty years.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -How a flexible and creative approach to intellectual property can help an organization accomplish goals ranging from building market share to expanding an industry.Most managers leave intellectual property issues to the legal department, unaware that an organization's intellectual property can help accomplish a range of management goals, from accessing new markets to improving existing products to generating new revenue streams. In this book, intellectual property expert and Harvard Law School professor John Palfrey offers a short briefing on intellectual property strategy for corporate managers and nonprofit administrators. Palfrey argues for strategies that go beyond the traditional highly restrictive sword and shield approach, suggesting that flexibility and creativity are essential to a profitable long-term intellectual property strategy especially in an era of changing attitudes about media.Intellectual property, writes Palfrey, should be considered a key strategic asset class. Almost every organization has an intellectual property portfolio of some value and therefore the need for an intellectual property strategy. A brand, for example, is an important form of intellectual property, as is any information managed and produced by an organization. Palfrey identifies the essential areas of intellectual property patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret and describes strategic approaches to each in a variety of organizational contexts, based on four basic steps.The most innovative organizations employ multiple intellectual property approaches, depending on the situation, asking hard, context-specific questions. By doing so, they achieve both short- and long-term benefits while positioning themselves for success in the global information economy. 120 pp. Englisch.…
