results from the deliberations that took place during two
different symposiums. Firstly, Mark Fisher and myself collaborated
at the Department of Visual Culture, Goldsmiths College,
with a conference entitled The Psychopathologies of Cognitive
Capitalism Part Three: The Cognitive Turn. The second was an
event in March 2015 that I organized in conjunction with the
Goethe-Institut Los Angeles entitled Noise and the Possibility
of a Future. This book fortuitously combines elements of both
programs for reasons that will unfold.
The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism. Part 3: The
Cognitive Turn investigates many of the concepts introduced in
the first two volumes. Here too we explore the early and late
phases of cognitive capitalism, weaving in its effects upon the
psyche. The early phase concerned the new conditions of labor
in the early, heady days of the burgeoning information and
knowledge economies that led through post-Fordism to cognitive
capitalism. It’s worth noting just a few of these conditions:
precarious labor, the importance of communication in the
workplace, flexible specialization and just in time production,
accelerated product innovation, and the complexification of the
supply chain. Additionally, we could speak of the real subsumption of more aspects of life within capitalism, the de-verticalization
of time and space, valorization via cognitive labor
and an increased financialization of capitalism.
The later phase
of cognitive capitalism brings an understanding that the industrial
factory of the 19th and 20th centuries—although still important
sites of production—has been and will continue to be
subsumed by the mind and brain as sites of wealth production.
The Operaist and continental philosophical orientation of the arguments both in the first two volumes and the
current one, add a critique to a quite limited and self-reflexive
argument waged in neuroscientific literature about the effects
of the environment on the brain like the theories of synaptic
stabilization by Jean-Pierre Changeux, Neural Darwinism by
Gerald Edelman, developmental system theory (DST) by Susan
Oyama, niche construction theory by Kevin Leland, neuroconstructivism
by Steven Quartz and Terry Sejnowski, probabilistic
epigenesis by Gilbert Gottlieb, and recently the theory of
Material Engagement proposed by Lambros Malafouris—a
version that is included in this volume. What we began to understand
through this critique was that this epigenesis, the effect
on the environment on brain development, was not only of
neurobiological import but of political importance as well.

In The 3D Art Book, he parlays this fascination into a carefully curated selection of over 100 works by established and up-and-coming contemporary artists, expertly rendered as 3D images that can be viewed with red and blue glasses (included in the book). Many of the pieces, by artists respected within the designer toy, street art, Pop Surrealist, graffiti, graphic design and streetwear communities, were created specifically for this project. The included works range from otherworldly paintings by Eric White, Ron English and James Jean, to graffiti pieces by Dr. Revolt, Claw Money and HAZE, intricate designs by Tokidoki, 10Deep and Mishka NYC, cartoonish characters by Jon Burgerman, Miss Van and Gary Baseman, as well as pieces by heavyweights D*Face, Todd Schorr and Shepard Fairey. Each image is presented in a double-page spread, and comes jumping to ...

Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century. Made in collaboration with featured artists, Trespass examines the rise and global reach of graffiti and urban art, tracing key figures, events and movements of self-expression in the city's social space, and the history of urban reclamation, protest, and illicit performance. The first book to present the full historical sweep, global reach and technical developments of the street art movement, Trespass features key works by 150 artists, and connects four generations of visionary outlaws including Jean Tinguely, Spencer Tunick, Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Jenny Holzer, Barry McGee, Gordon Matta-Clark, Shepard Fairey, Blu, Billboard Liberation Front, Guerrilla Girls and Banksy, among others. It also includes dozens of previously unpublished photographs of long-lost works and legendary, ephemeral urban artworks. Also includes: Unpublished images of street art by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat Unpublished photographs by Subway Art luminary Martha Cooper Unpublished photos from the personal archives of selected artists Incisive essays by Anne Pasternak (director of public arts fund Creative Time) and civil rights lawyer Tony Serra Special feature: exclusive preface by Banksy

From the late fifteenth century, contacts between the first Portuguese merchants and indigenous peoples of the West and Central African coasts marked the beginning of Europe's economic engagement with sub-Saharan Africa. With increased trade came missionaries who paved the way for the subsequent European colonization of Africans from the late nineteenth through the first half of the twentieth century. Under colonialism, a previous relationship of autonomy and parity changed to one of subjugation. The postcolonial era has seen yet another shift in the image of the European, as Africans have increasingly participated in a global environment unmediated by colonizing powers. Through African Eyes: The European in African Art, 1500 to Present focuses on these historical changes as they are articulated in African visual arts. Presented as a series of case stud...
