Algorithmicity, Islamic Art, and Virtual Philosophy: Thoughts on Laura Marks’ ‘Enfoldment and Infinity’ « Networkologies
One of the most incredible works of architecture I've ever seen: The Hall of the Two Sisters in the Alhambra, Granada. The dome is composed of a multitude of tiny, pixel-like cells known as muquarna. “The universe is not dualistic, but folded, so spirit is separated from matter only by degree” - Laura Marks, Enfoldment and Infinity: An Islamic Genealogy of New Media Art (2010, p. 271). As someone deeply invested in using networks to understand a wide range of phenomenon, I was thrilled to see Laura Marks’ new book Enfoldment and Infinity: An Islamic Genealogy of New Media Art. But I had little sense of just how amazing this book was going to be. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Howeve it would be a bad attitude to totally ignore what goes on in the world of industrial design, even if you never do a product design.

Calabarte is an artist from Poland. He sculpts elaborated patterns on gourds which come from Senegal. When the lamp is switch on, the light amazes us with the fairy atmosphere created.
