Summary:Turbulence and Reconstruction is an anthology of viewpoints on society from the arts and the sciences. The authors believe that the arts and the sciences are effective spaces to encourage us to think differently about our outdated concepts of representation and categorization and reconstruct new potentials about how the designs of the future might benefit our environment and the survival of our bodies. Essential to all writers is the need to drop our old disciplinary boundaries to question our interdependent relationship to technology and to reality. Turbulence and reconstruction are processes that not only affect our representation and categorization, urban nature and energy consumption but also our relation to media and technology – the digital ideologies of interaction and substitution.
Turbulence and Reconstruction ist eine Anthologie von künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Sichtweisen auf unsere Gesellschaft. Die Autoren gehen davon aus, dass Kunst und Wissenschaft produktive Denkräume bieten und uns dazu ermutigen, neue Konzepte und Kategorisierungen zu entwickeln, die Potenziale freisetzen und von denen wir in Zukunft profitieren können.Wesentlich dabei ist, dass die alten Grenzen zwischen den Disziplinen überwunden und die wechselseitige Wirkung von Technologie und Realität diskutiert werden kann.Turbulenz und Wiederaufbau sind Prozesse, die nicht nur Darstellung, Kategorien, urbane Lebensräume und Energieverbrauch betreffen, sondern auch unsere Beziehung zu Medien und Technologien – und damit zur digitalen Ideologie von Interaktion und Substitution.
