Více o knize

The book explores a novel interactive data visualization concept rooted in traditional Chinese aesthetics, particularly drawing from Yijing and Taoist cosmological principles. It critiques Western aesthetics, especially the Kantian sublime, which emphasizes distance from nature, contrasting it with Taoist philosophy that fosters a connection between body and nature. By examining the interplay between human bodies and technology, it offers insights into data-based artistic practices, making traditional Chinese aesthetics accessible to Western audiences and providing new models for digital art and visualization.
