2010Best.-Nr. 215301Paris: Onestar press 2010. Brossura wrappers. Perfetto Mint. Libro d'artista completamente illustrato con fotografie in b&n. Cm 225x14. pp. 150 non numerate. Perfetto Mint. Edizione originale di 250 esemplari numerati Original edition of 250 numbered copies. Il cartellonista scende le scale della stazione della metropolitana Porte d'Erewhon si avvicina a un grande cartellone riempito con un poster blu intenso e inizia a incollare l'immagine di un'auto generica situata in un'anonima strada parigina. "Henri Bergson che non amava molto il cinema scrisse in L'evoluzione creatrice che per avere un'autentica intuizione della durata bisognava sperimentarla e prese l'esempio dello zucchero in un bicchiere d'acqua. La lezione sembrava chiara: "Devo aspettare che lo zucchero si sciolga"; è nell'esperienza della visione e dell'attesa quando la mia durata si fonde con quella del mondo che emerge l'intuizione di una realtà in movimento. Ma come si impara ad aspettare in un mondo moderno che sembra essere un flusso costante di immagini continue ma che non cessa mai di estrarre immagini ferme immagini ossessive e poi proietta queste immagini fisse in quello che sembra essere un ciclo perpetuo 'Sugar Water' può in un certo senso essere visto come una vasta metafora dei giorni successivi all'11 settembre vissuti come una sfida all'editto di Bergson: le stesse immagini fisse quasi come pubblicità che si susseguono costantemente nel cuore stesso della nostra vita quotidiana fino a produrre un perfetto equivoco: aspettiamo di vedere il momento in cui l'auto esplode mentre le "persone reali" nel film per la maggior parte aspettano semplicemente la metropolitana e non vedono nulla. Ma può anche essere letto come qualcosa di completamente diverso: la natura quotidiana della violenza della pubblicità priva di soggetto priva di significato con gli stessi annunci PA e la stessa canzone appena udibile che crea il ritmo della colonna sonora in un ciclo che rispecchia la sequenza di immagini sovrapposte sopra il monocromo blu di un cartellone pubblicitario. In che modo il tempo trascorso in attesa che l'immagine successiva si riveli diventa qualcosa di diverso da una vecchia melodia ripetitiva Qui una sorta di ritratto dell'artista come affissore di manifesti."

Best.-Nr. B9781666927078Paperback / softback. New. The Social Brain: Sociological Foundations introduces the concept of the social brain including a detailed conceptual model of the social brain networked in the world. The idea that our brains are social has its roots in nineteenth-century social thought and primate research initiated in the 1950s. It was introduced into the neuroscience literature in 1990 as a challenge to the traditional view of the isolated bio-medical brain a view that still dominates the scientific media and public imaginations. Sal Restivo’s foundational thesis is that humans arrive on the evolutionary stage always already and everywhere social. We have social selves social brains and social genes. He argues the “I” is a grammatical illusion reflecting the myth of individualism. The unique feature of this book is the amount of space devoted to constructing the sociological scaffolding needed to understand what the author means by the social self the social mind and the social brain. The approach leads to new ways of thinking about socialization consciousness and creativity as networked phenomena. The result is a novel way of integrating the social self the biological self and the neurological self and erasing the classical boundaries between brain mind and body. paperback
