Grazie a The weather project Olafur Eliasson ha raggiunto una popolarità di solito sconosciuta ai protagonisti dell'arte contemporanea. Questo libro è il tentativo di restituirne l'immagine nei dettagli, di capire le ragioni di questo successo e la complessità di un'opera composta perlopiù di installazioni composte da luce e colori, dalla necessaria interazione col pubblico e dalla consapevolezza di un mondo sempre meno disposto a discutere l'apparenza delle immagini. Il libro contiene saggi di Hans Ulrich Obrist, Paul Virilio, Gunnar B. Kvaran ed Emi Fontana, oltre a selection of statements by the same artist.


Olafur Eliasson's work is beyond the land art, as an attempt to break into the optical depth of appearances ... it provides a good example of the time of the accident in the space of the plastic arts, in the era of this sudden "tele-presence" that is our daily, we re-introduce its work silently in the mystery of the apparition that affects everything likely.
(Paul Virilio)

the work of Olafur Eliasson has always fascinated me the process that leads to the finished work, the extensive research and long that every time you undertake a project or preparing an exhibition. "The search for The weather project" the artist told me, "at the beginning did not have a purpose," precisely because an important aspect of his research is "to deal with institutional factors that are inevitably obscure." That the institution is large or small the question remains: "How much influence will the context of the project and that there is opportunity to negotiate this influence in order to transform it into something innovative and potential?"
(Hans Ulrich Obrist)


Olafur Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen to Icelandic parents. Since 1993 he lives and works in Berlin where he established Studio Olafur Eliasson, a laboratory in addition to the trials of the artist is also impegnato in progetti architettonici. Nel 2003 Eliasson rappresenta la Danimarca alla Biennale di Venezia dove presenta The blind pavilion, mentre nella Biennale del 2005 ha presentato Your black horizon all’isola di San Lazzaro degli Armeni. Del 2003 è anche il lavoro che gli da popolarità mondiale: The weather project, allestito nella turbine hall della Tate Modern a Londra, viene visto da oltre due milioni di spettatori. E' in preparazione la più grande retrospettiva mai organizzata sul suo lavoro - Take Your Time, a cura di Madeleine Grynsztejn - che inaugurerà l'8 settembre 2007 all'SFMoMA e nell'aprile del 2008 al MoMA di New York.

Search Engines from 100 to 100 »The

I Search engines are the most used service on the network, second only to e-mail. Over 90% of surfers use a search engine to reach a site, information, news or what you need to know before buying a product.

With these words, Luca Conti and Titian Leaf - two of the best Italian bloggers experts in new technologies on the Internet, introduce the reader to the contents of " 100% Search Engines - Search and find . A book about the quintessential information on the Net, " Bots 100% " offers a comprehensive and exhaustive use of the tools available today for those seeking information on the Net

The Internet is said and written about much, but when you ask an expert in new technology to pull off something that is longer than a dozen tables, here comes the written work for a few topics that should be affordable all. Small wonder, and to discuss, then, if you Eurostat says that young Italians are not accustomed to "navigate " on the internet ... but then ... comes the objection that encourages the reader regardless of culture or technical training. " Bots 100% " offers hands-on experience of the authors who, using an open language, concise, suitable for all, tell the reader " new technologies in a fast, visual, immediate . "Bots 100% is a work designed to help set research dediserati giving the results as soon as possible for those seeking answers to their questions related and selective, for who is looking for music, pictures and videos ... but it is also a source of knowledge and inspiration for those interested in the origins, expectations, possibilities of today and the future development of a world that is between "the most dynamic in the world of technology . "Words like" international "," mobile "and" social , "the authors explain the last part of the book" keywords for first place in the near future .

Technical Bots 100% Search and find Author: Pandemic Leaf and Collection: PersonalTech Language: Italian Publication Year: 2006 Publisher: rgb Pages: 168 Price: 9.90 Euro

The book reads at a gulp, and is organized to allow al lettore di passare da un argomento all'altro senza quel fastidioso disorientamento che accompagna i salti d'interesse. Non è un libro dispersivo. Punta all'essenziale, rispondendo in pieno al manifesto della PersonalTech: " collana di strumenti pratici per capire Internet, è già una case history: per la prima volta gli autori vengono dalla rete, e sono quegli stessi lettori che per anni non hanno trovato risposte negli altri manuali ".
Per spiegarci: alle domande " Se non è Google, qual'è stato il primo motore di ricerca su Internet? " e " Come lavoravano i primi motori di ricerca? ", risponde la chicca storica:

Il primo motore di ricerca a farsi largo su Internet fu Altavista nel 1995. Altavista determinava la classifica dei suoi risultati per una data parola chiave e in base a quante volte trovava il termine ricercato nella pagina. Il sistema, inizialmente efficace, costituì il successo di Altavista, ma divenne presto vittima dello spam dei gestori di alcuni siti: in pochi anni, utilizzando trucchi oggi non più efficaci, molti siti web approfittarono di questa vulnerabilità e impararono ad ingannare il motore nascondendo all'interno delle proprie pagine parole chiave non in tema.

Gli autori presentano le nuove tecnologie lasciando che sia il lettore a formarsi un'opinione in merito agli argomenti trattati. What is a search engine? What kind of evolution has had? What does today's research information on-line? What scenarios are now open for the foreseeable future? The work plan is simple, linear and vertical path in an informative (and training) designed to stimulate the reader to "try field." Text and pictures describe the features of each search tool " as it appears on video."

The journey begins with an introduction to the world of engines and then resolved in 5 key stages:

• Search engines in general, analysis of the results pages and search categories;
  
• Search engine dedicated to the selective news, blogs, the ' encyclopedic information, but also to comparisons, the discussion and the questions that await answers;
  
• The use of the search engines for images and multimedia (audio, video);
  
• research information, including cross to satisfy the desire for culture, shopping, travel, holidays,
  
• Research based on the sharing of information, from file sharing to RSS feeds, to the social networks (social networks).

There are no geographical boundaries in the market for online search. Most partedelle innovations and experiments that ASK, MSN , Yahoo! and Google ITest issue every month for users, is localized in all major languages \u200b\u200b(including Italian) within a few months after, when not at the same time. Do not despair if some services presented in this book are in English only. Probably when you read these pages, some will have been located and others will be soon!

These are the words with which pandemic (Luca Conti) and leaves (Tiziano Leaf) present the concept of "global challenge " in the final chapter " The future of search engines . The speed with which services are evolving on-line and prevent future technology in general to consider this and any other industry, such as final and immutable for just two or three years to come. On the other hand, a book is made of paper pages bound and that is why the strength to work on new technologies appear statically limited to a specific timeframe. We can talk about months, years, however at the end of the book will become history. In our case, the future of the book is not so obvious. This work was created in the network to the network. And presentation clarifies the concept:

This book is not never grow old ... in fact, will always be updated in the very place that gave birth to: network.
