Some minor wear to edges, plus a slight curl to lower right-hand corner. A sweeping survey on the relationship between man and machines. Featuring more than sixty international artists, this volume surveys the constantly shifting relationships between humans, machines, and art. The book spans more than fifty years of history, tracing various movements and artists engagement with machines both low- and high-tech across generations. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue present a transhistorical reassessment of optical, kinetic, and technological art, bringing together a wide range of work from among others Bridget Riley, Hans Haacke, Gianni Colombo, Channa Horowitz, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, Stan VanDerBeek, and Victor Vasarely.
