Bungee Jumping & Cocoons: The Dual Nature of the Industrial Marketplace

John D. Kenworthy


Bungee Jumping & Cocoons: The Dual Nature of the Industrial Marketplace John D. Kenworthy Book Description Book Description "I am a boomer. Born in 1960, I was ushered into the modern era decades before the information age altered our lives forever. For me, the innovation of the personal computer and the Internet were the twin defining events of my generation." Thus begins the introduction to this unique tale of two contrasting thoughts: Bungee Jumping and Cocoons. Bungee Jumping is "our present culture's predilection for embracing all things extreme," the author explains. "In our advertising and in our leisure, we want bigger, better, more." Cocoons represent "our willingness to nest within our homes with no need or desire to come out and mingle with the wicked world." How do these dual ideas play out in our society? How do they illuminate our industrial marketplace and e-commerce activities? Investigating these ideas, the author uses illustrative case studies, pointing to diverse resources such as futurist Faith Popcorn, fantasy adventure giant The Walt......


James Coleman (October Files)


James Coleman (October Files) Book DescriptionJames Coleman has emerged in recent years as one of the most important artists of visual postmodernism. His work has transformed critical debates about the status of the image in contemporary culture and influenced an entire generation ofyounger artists in ways that have not yet been fully acknowledged. Until recently, Coleman has enjoyed relatively little critical attention -- in part because of his refusal to comment on his projects or to allow his work to be reconstructed outside of the context of its exhibition. The illustrated essays in this book span the entirety of Coleman's career to date, from his early postminimal and conceptual experiments with memory and perception, through his work in film, video, and narrative in the 1980s, to his current ongoing series of slide projections with voice-over that he calls simply Book DescriptionJames Coleman has emerged in recent years as one of the most important artists of visual postmodernism.

Rocky Schenck : Photographs (Wittliff Gallery Series)

Rocky Schenck


Rocky Schenck : Photographs (Wittliff Gallery Series) Rocky Schenck Book Description Book Description"Each photograph is like a still taken from a movie that exists not on film but rather in one's memory, with all the fuzziness typical of remembered impressions. The viewer, willing or not, fills in the frames that precede and follow it. . . . When confronted by such compelling and seductive images, the viewer can hardly help but respond reflexively, amplifying, expanding, and otherwise making the photograph his own. This compulsion to respond, together with the lovely elegiac mood in allhis work, is the real power of Schenck's photographs." --John Berendt, from the Foreword Remembered movies . . . images from a dream . . . scenes from another world--the photographs of Rocky Schenck are endlessly evocative, though the photographer asserts that "my approach is rather simple: I record on film what I see and what I feel as I travel through life." Still, these haunting images are no mere reproductions of everyday reality. By manipulating both the film's negative and the......
