"Aesthetics Imperfections:How AI is changing the Landscape of Typography|" (Gianpaolo Tucci, 2023)
https://www.slanted.de/aesthetics-imperfections/
"... This is not a book on typography, but the expression of a point of view, a practical guide, and an investigation on how the integration and ethical use of artificial intelligence will play a fundamental role in modeling this future. This book witnesses the birth of a co-creation era, urging a rethinking to craft a more human-centric future where AI magnifies human creativity, rather than replacing it. Take a breath, and as if we were unaware laboratory animals, Tucci invites to jump into this journey made of confused, blurred, anatomical, radical, colorful, and sometimes overturned visions."

Waneella's debut monograph is an excellent compilation of her pixel work. Her animated versions of these pieces are what initially hooked me, but the attention to detail is still there in the print version.
"Moving chronologically, Decade provides an unparalleled opportunity to see the progression of Waneella’s craft over time. The artworks are interspersed with detailed step-by-step case studies throughout, showing works-in-progress that lay bare the mechanics of the meticulous process of creating pixel art, with Waneella’s personal insight and guidance."

Performance and Authenticity in the Arts (1999)
Editors:Ivan Gaskell, Salim Kemal
Publisher:Cambridge University Press
This book brings together a distinguished group of scholars from music, drama, poetry, performance art, religion, classics and philosophy to investigate the complex and developing interaction between performance and authenticity in the arts. The volume begins with a perspective on traditional understandings of that relation, examining the crucial role of performance in the Poetics, the marriage of art with religion, the experiences of religious and aesthetic authenticity, and modernist conceptions of authenticity. Several essays then consider music as a performative art. The final essays discuss the link of authenticity to sincerity and truth in poetry, explain how performance, as an authentic feature of poetry, embodies a collective effort, and culminate in a discussion of the dark side of performance - its constant susceptibility to inauthenticity.

Block coding textuality....
Returning to 'Walter Benjamin's Archive: Images, Texts, Signs' and particularly this schematic which is pure visual programming.
'Work on good prose has three steps: a musical phase when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven' ~ In One-Way Street, Walter Benjamin, 192

If you're channel member of /the-library you can claim 10K $JAM (I received 50x as a channel owner). I know nothing about it, but it's not a transaction you have to sign. But airdropped (maybe to your Farcaster wallet, would need to dig into it, but no time atm).
I am very excited to dive into Mirror Stage: Between Computability and Its Opposite, in which editor Nora N. Khan and a cast of 15 luminaries consider the implications of AI and computational culture.

The 1586 book by Wenzel Jamnitzer, 'Perspectiva Corporum Regularium' (Perspective of the Regular Solids) could be seen as early generative art—applying geometric rules to modify Platonic solids, creating 120 variations.

The Art of Living: An Oral History of Performance Art (2017)
By: Dominic Johnson
Publisher:Palgrave Macmillan
Across a series of twelve in-depth interviews with a diverse range of major artists, Dominic Johnson presents a new oral history of performance art. From uses of body modification and physical extremity, to the creation of all-encompassing personae, to performance pieces lasting months or years, these artists have provoked and explored the vital limits between art and life. Their discussions with Johnson give us a glimpse of their artistic motivations, preoccupations, processes, and contexts. Despite the diversity of art forms and experiences featured, common threads weave between the interviews: love, friendship, commitment, death and survival.
Each interview is preceded by an overview of the artist's work, and the volume itself is introduced by a thoughtful critical essay on performance art and oral history.

Man Ray, Revolving Doors. 10 pochoir plates. Paris: Editions Surréalistes, 1926.
Man Ray created a series of collages combining geometric shapes with machine-like and anthropomorphic forms, framing them on a rotating pole that viewers could spin.
