Pandemic Exchange
Theory on Demand #41 Pandemic Exchange - How Artists Experience the COVID-19 Crisis edited by Josephine Bosma News reports on the Covid-19 pandemic seldom include how the virus and the societal lockdowns affect artists.

She decided to reach out to some of the more outspoken voices. From this an interview project was born, which grew into this collection of heartfelt stories and brief reports from artists trying to survive the pandemic and sometimes finding unexpected ways to do so.

Material Modernity
Material Modernity explores creative innovation in German art, design, and architecture during the Weimar Republic, charting both the rise of new media and the re-fashioning of old media. Weimar became famous for the explosion of creative ingenuity across the arts in Germany, due to experiments with new techniques (including the move towards abstraction in painting and sculpture) and inventive work in such new media as paper and plastic, which utilized both new and old methods of art production. Individual chapters in this book consider inventions such as the camera and materials like celluloid, examine the role of new materials including concrete composites in opening up fresh avenues in the plastic arts, and relate advances in the understanding of color perception and psychology to an increased interest in visual perception and the latent potential of color as both architectural ornament and carrier of emotional force in space. While art historians usually argue that experimentation in the Weimar Republic was the result of an intentional rejection of traditional modes of expression in the conscious attempt to invent a modern art and architecture unshackled from historic media and methods, this volume shows that the drivers for innovation were often far more complex and nuanced. It first of all describes how the material shortages precipitated by the First World War, along with the devastation to industrial infrastructure and disruption of historic trade routes, affected art, as did a spirit of experimentation that permeated interwar German culture. It then analyzes new challenges in the 1920s to artistic conventions in traditional art modes like painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture, textiles, and print-making and simultaneously probes the likely causes of innovative new methods of artistic production that appeared, such as photomontage, assemblage, mechanical art, and multi-media art. In doing so, Material Modernity fills a significant gap in Weimar scholarship and art history literature.

Small Data is Beautiful
Small Data is Beautiful investigates the conceptual, artistic, and computational qualities of small data. This original collection presents a challenge to discussions centred on big data - algorithms, surveillance and the datafication of human lives - by exploring the seditious and revelatory potential of radically rethinking data in creative research and practice. Taking inspiration from the 'small is beautiful' mantra of the 1970s, a counter-cultural pursuit of planetary survival, the book interrogates the scale of the digital age through narratives, intimacies, representations, and ecologies. It offers a rich interdisciplinary dialogue from perspectives including cultural history, sociology, visual art, performance studies, archaeology, musicology, literary studies, and data science. On the cover of this collection is an image that is both ordinary and remarkable, depending on where you place your focus. To the naked eye and from a distance, these striking jewel-like objects appear as a mass of plain, brown sand: homogeneous, simple and flat. Under a microscope, the different parts come alive, each piece taking on a distinct colour, formation and intriguing aesthetic. Microscopic grains of sand tell individual stories about the ecosystems and ecologies from which they came, originating from diverse corals, sea urchins and structural components such as algae and sponges. Finer than pebbles but coarser than silt, sand also articulates narratives of transformation and change, from volcanic eruption and mountainous erosion to shifting seabeds across millions of years of planetary evolution.With this image in mind, we train our attention on small data and its power to fascinate, slow and attune us to matters we might otherwise skate over. Capturing the 'so what' of the magnified gaze, Small Data is Beautiful contends that attention to the minor scale can inform major social issues. It anchors us at the heart of political questions about what registers or qualifies, what is included or excluded or what becomes (of) an outlier. The small's way of ushering in change may have a different texture - starting as a seed, an itch, an earworm, something that soon spirals. It requires us to generate nimble methods to notice, scrutinise and sometimes seize chances to transform how we live with and by data. Such happenings are best captured in the kaleidoscope of small data that turns across the chapters in this volume, but here we offer three prisms for thinking about what small data can do: Politics, Ethics, and Aesthetics. Deliberately general, though not exhaustive, they focalise the power of the particular.The book is structured around four themes: Narratives, Intimacies, Representations and Ecologies. Each theme intersects with concepts of smallness in distinct ways, providing a roadmap for reconceptualising data in an age of turmoil, resistance and ecological change.
