Book Description
Now in paperback. A journey through the attempts artists, scientists, and tinkerers have made to imagine and communicate with the otherworldly using various technologies, from cameras to radiowaves. Strange Frequencies takes readers on an extraordinary narrative and historical journey to discover how people have used technology in an effort to search for our own immortality. Bebergal builds his own ghostly gadgets to reach the other side, too, and follows the path of famous inventors, engineers, seekers, and seers who attempted to answer life's ultimate mysteries. He finds that not only are technological innovations potent metaphors keeping our spiritual explorations alive, but literal tools through which to experiment the boundaries of the physical world and our own psyches. Peter takes the reader alongside as he explores: the legend of the golem and the strange history of automata; a photographer who is trying to capture the physical manifestation of spirits; a homemaker who has recorded voicemails from the dead; a stage magician who combines magic and technology to alter his audience's consciousness; and more.

Book Description
Strange Devices is a book that contains 2 essay's, 15 interviews with artists, and 3 reviews of exhibitions that all lead to thoughts on sculpture as neospatial practice.Why hasn't the definition of Sculpture changed? Almost forty years after Rosalind Krauss wrote Sculpture in the Expanded Field, physical works of art continue to splinter and move further from their entrenched institutionalized categorization. In the last twenty years alone, our understanding of what sculpture is has dramatically shifted. But have the discussions surrounding sculpture evolved in tandem? Sculpture is hardly a singular term for an artwork, especially an artwork that inhabits space or is the space itself. Strange Devices frames contemporary sculpture as neospatial production.Essay's included: Strange Devices and Unintentional VicesInterview's included: Janine Antoni, Rina Banerjee, Matthew Barney, Lowry Burgess, Lenka Clayton, Lewis Colburn, Young Joon Kwak, Athena Lynch, Katie Paterson, Charles Ray, Jon Rubin, Arcangelo Sassolino, Shoplifter, Simon Starling, and Julianne Swartz. Reviews Included: Matthew Barney's Redoubt, Hito Steyerl's Drill, and Being Present in the Space of Video - Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974-1995

Book Description
“Lisa Goldstein mixes history, faerie, literature and love to engrave a tale both intelligent and fine. [Strange Devices of the Sun and Moon] is, from first to last, a delight.” —Neil Gaiman London in the time of Queen Elizabeth I is a bustling place, its streets crowded with vendors selling goods from all over the world. In the courtyard of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Alice Wood competes with other booksellers, hawking pamphlets, plays, and the latest poetry from the continent. It is a lonely life for a hardworking young widow, and she will soon put it aside. When a black-clad stranger visits, speaking in riddles and asking questions about her long-vanished son, Alice will be drawn into an adventure straight out of one of her faerie stories. The Elizabethan court has been infiltrated by the Fair Folk, a race of magical beings whose intentions are shadowy and dangerous. With the help of Christopher Marlowe, the city’s most dashing playwright, Alice must untangle the faerie conspiracy to save her son—and the crown.

Author: H. P. Lovecraft Publisher: Penguin ISBN: 1101157216 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 465
Book Description
A definitive edition of stories by the master of supernatural fiction Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe) with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. This Penguin Classics edition brings together a dozen of the master's tales-from his early short stories "Under the Pyramids" (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and "The Music of Erich Zann" (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own favorites) through his more fully developed works, "The Dunwich Horror," The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and At the Mountains of Madness. The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories presents the definitive corrected texts of these works, along with Lovecraft critic and biographer S. T. Joshi's illuminating introduction and notes to each story. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
