Ghosts in the Machine
2012
Published on occasion of the exhibition “Ghosts in the Machine.” This volume surveys the constantly shifting relationship between humans, machines, and art. Together, the works in this volume trace the complex journey from the mechanical to the optical to the virtual, looking at the ways in which humans have projected anthropomorphic behaviors onto machines, and how machines have become progressively more human. Features work by over seventy artists, as well as an anthology of historical texts by key authors such as J.G. Ballard, Michel Carrouges, Umberto Eco, Marshall McLuhan, and a number of participating artists. Foreword by Lisa Phillips, with acknowledgements by Massimiliano Gioni and Gary Carrion-Murayari. Contributions include: Of Ghosts and Machines / by Massimiliano Gioni; The Body is A Machine / by Gary Carrion-Murayari; On Bachelor Machines / by Megan Heuer; Introductory Texts / by William S. Smith.
