Araki’s book on his beloved 🐱 Chiro-san shows a softer side of him, capturing beauty in everyday moments like a poetic journal. Beyond the hardcore stuff he’s famous for, I love how he shares these tender slices of life.

PDF here:https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/116201/2/293185.pdf
Most of it can be a bit boring 😅 . But I guess that the "historical background" and "state of the art sections" can be interesting to check for anyone interested in computer & generative art / interactive art / new media / ....
You will also recognise probably many artists& artworks, like @mariuswatz "sound memory" (in the right page bellow) :) :)

Looking for the link to that page @nftbiker created logging all the /the-library entries as it is a good way to quickly see what has been posted. I want to avoid the chance of repeat posts moving forward.
Unmarked: The Politics of Performance (1993)
By Peggy Phelan
Publisher: Routledge
Unmarked is a controversial analysis of the fraught relation between political and representational visibility in contemporary culture. Written from and for the Left, Unmarked rethinks the claims of visibility politics through a feminist psychoanalytic examination of specific performance texts - including photography, painting, film, theatre and anti-abortion demonstrations.

The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems with JavaScript
By: Daniel Shiffman
1st Edition 2012
This book focuses on a range of programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems, from elementary concepts in mathematics and physics to more advanced algorithms that enable sophisticated visual results. Readers will progress from building a basic physics engine to creating intelligent moving objects and complex systems, setting the foundation for further experiments in generative design.Subjects covered include forces, trigonometry, fractals, cellular automata, self-organization, and genetic algorithms.The book's examples are written in Processing, an open-source language and development environment built on top of the Java programming language. On the book's website (http://www.natureofcode.com), the examples run in the browser via Processing's JavaScript mode.

I will always remain critical of the hyper woo woo woo type of in-your-face marketing because it all stems from greed and pride and proliferates into a form that breeds envy and jealous, echo’d into an abyss of endless product.
Pre-COVID Web3 2017 did not have hyper-tokenization or “Real world assets” fruit stands with apes banging chests how great their outsourced artwork aided by a layer sorting script was on a loud tribal level.
Also the noise of developers is amplified much further than the traditional artist’s labor can keep up.
Despite having no training the technocrat feels he can compete, with an untrained eye, more capital, and more speed, soulless AI work spreads like wildfire.
I have a very strong disdain for the hyper woo woo woo, because the addition of crypto and decentralized storage should not pair with humans adapting and humanizing the tools haphazardly into their personality solely to sell clogs of data in the IPFS/Arweave that will be forgotten faster than a one-hit wonder.

Ex-formation, Kenya Hara, 2015
Wisdom from a master of design. In contrast to information, ex-formation describes how little we really know and thus becomes the starting point for any type of design. Hara states: “What moves people’s hearts, in every case, is the unknown. Things that people already know don’t excite them.”
