Friedensreich Hundertwasser's journey in New Zealand, which began in 1973, is a profound exploration of his quest to harmonize art with nature. Settling in the Bay of Islands, he immersed himself in the local culture and landscape, significantly influencing his artistic output. This book delves into his philosophy, architecture, and notable public projects, such as the Koru Flag and Kawakawa Public Toilets. Richly illustrated with his artworks and writings, it celebrates Hundertwasser's legacy and his deep connection to Aotearoa, solidifying his status as a New Zealand icon.
A quarter century of groundbreaking research into the future of technology Founded in 1996, the Ars Electronica Futurelab is a laboratory and atelier for future systems. This volume looks back on 25 years of projects and programming with images, profiles and essays.
Although synthetic fullerenes have only been around for a few years, there are thousands of scientific articles dealing with them. This is the first monograph in the field and thus represents a vital source of information summarizing the most important and fundamental aspects of the organic and organometallic chemistry of the fullerenes.The book is logically arranged so that information is easy to retrieve, and the style lends itself to effortless reading and to learning more about the chemical properties of a family of molecules that constitute new building blocks for novel architectures in the ever-expanding universe of synthetic chemistry.Belongs on the shelves of university libraries as well as those of chemists interested in the art and science of structure and property manipulation by synthesis.
Art, technology, and society are the fields of interest whose highly complex and lively relationships have been at the center of activities for the past forty years at Ars Electronica, which is not only a festival and a prize, but has also been a museum and laboratory since 1996. What began as an experiment in art and communal politics in 1979 in Linz, Austria, is now setting standards today. Since then Ars Electronica has become one of the best-known forums for the development of media art and the discourse concerning technological culture. Richly illustrated, with numerous texts, an extensive list of projects, and entertaining asides, this anniversary publication offers a look back at the development of the project, which has been focusing since the beginning on the future as it comes into being. Festival September 5—9, 2019 Linz Since 1979 ARS ELECTRONICA has tracked and analyzed the digital revolution and its multiple impacts. The focus has always been on processes and trends combining art, technology, and society. Results of this artistic and scientific research can be seen in the form of an annual festival in Linz, Austria, where a five-day-long program involves conferences, podium discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The festival is planned, organized, and executed in collaboration with artists and scientists from around the world. A variety of controversial futuristic themes are always the center of attention.
In this handbook, the leading experts in the field presents important and fundamental aspects of the organic and organometallic chemistry of fullerenes. Naturally they also cover the applications in material and medicinal science for these fascinating molecules. Completely self-contained, the book is logically arranged such that information is easy to retrieve, and the style lends itself to effortless reading and to learning more about the chemical properties of this family of molecules.A definitive "must" for everyone working in this ever-expanding sphere.
The aesthetically pleasing molecular architectures of fullerenes and nanotubes are appealing not only because of their beauty but also because they are responsible for the many unprecedented chemical and physical properties of this compound class. Although succession of exciting new discoveries continues unabated fullerene research has become a mature science. It is now possible to predict fullerene chemistry, to design new structure variations like open fullerene clusters, heterofullerenes and endohedral fullerenes, and to develop fullerene materials and modified nanotubes with high potential for technological applications. This volume represents the state-of-the-art of fullerene research, focussing on areas showing high potential for future growth and practical applications. The authors are leading scientists whose groups are making major contributions in the field.
Im Oktober 2024 wird das Theater an der Wien nach Sanierung wiedereröffnet. Es erzählt die Geschichte bemerkenswerter Persönlichkeiten und deren Einfluss auf die Bühne, beleuchtet die Uraufführungen klassischer Werke und die Rückkehr zur Oper im 21. Jahrhundert, ergänzt durch reichhaltiges Bildmaterial.
