Art Of The Accident, The - Softcover

In the Art of the Accident the concept of 'accident' is not only based on the phenomenon that each machine brings with it its own form of disaster. It also implies that in a world of network technologies, the old distinction between form which is timeless and processes which are time-dependent is becoming increasingly unclear. The art accidentalis recognizes the creative potential of the accident, the fall, and the instability of digital media. The book maps the transformation of space, time, bodies, machines and architectures through the conceptual and non-instrumental use of the computer.
The Art of the Accident accompanies the Dutch Electronic Art Festival and prominently features the transArchitectures exhibition through projects, essays, interviews and commentaries.
