Artists and writers reconsider the relationship between the body and electronic technology in the twenty-first century through essays, artworks, and an encyclopedic "Abecedarius of the New Sensorium."

The relationship between the body and electronic technology, extensively theorized through the 1980s and 1990s, has reached a new technosensual comfort zone in the early twenty-first century. In Sensorium, contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists, chosen by an international team of curators, offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briand's experiment in "controlled schizophrenia" and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller's uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Nauman's uncanny night visions and François Roche's destabilized architecture. The art in Sensorium—which accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center—captures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment, when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator, all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on "The Mediated Sensorium" by Caroline Jones.

In the second half of Sensorium, scholars, scientists, and writers contribute entries to an "Abecedarius of the New Sensorium." These short, playful pieces include Bruno Latour on "Air," Barbara Maria Stafford on "Hedonics," Michel Foucault (from a little-known 1966 radio lecture) on the "Utopian Body," Donna Haraway on "Compoundings," and Neal Stephenson on the "Viral." Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic, viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside, by means of contemporary artists' provocations, and from a distance, in essays that situate it historically and intellectually.

Caroline A. Jones is an art historian, author, and curator and Professor in the History, Theory, and Criticism in the Department of Architecture at MIT. She is the author of, most recently, The Global Work of Art: World's Fairs, Biennials, and the Aesthetics of Experience.

This is the first time Aragon's seminal 1924 French surrealist text has been published in English as a single volume. Aragon's extraordinary prose-poem-essay A Wave of Dreams (Une vague de reves), is a compelling, lyrical, first-hand account of the early days of surrealist experimentation in Paris. Writing in 1924, Aragon vividly describes, and philosophically evaluates, the inner adventures, the hallucinations and encounters with the 'Marvellous' which took the young surrealists to the brink of insanity as a revolutionary new era in Art History was born. Among Aragon’s companions in derangement are André Breton (whose own Surrealist Manifesto was preceded by this book), Max Ernst, Man Ray, Antonin Artaud, Robert Desnos, Georgio de Chirico, Philippe Soupault and Benjamin Peret.

This beautifully presented art book contains Susan de Muth’s translation of the text in English with an introduction by Dawn Ades.

The physical copy of A Wave of Dreams is accompanied by a complimentary CD of eight extracts from the test, spoken by actor Alex Walker, evocatively set in musical soundscapes by Tymon Dogg and Alex Thomas.

In Sound arts now, Cathy Lane and Angus Carlyle explore contemporary artistic practices and theories, and what contributes to or hinders artistic and career development. This is conducted through a series of interviews with artists and curators, putting the often-unheard voice of the maker at the centre of the discourse. While not claiming to be a definitive survey, the book broadens and destabilises what we have come to understand as sound arts, offering new and different pathways, frames of reference, and modes of thinking.

This Is Not Music: Acoustheology in Late Modernism

Sound as world-making, music as metaphor: a critical investigation of acoustheology, resonance and the late-modern desire to hear the world as unity.

Why has sound become one of the dominant metaphors of late modernity? From ASMR and data sonification to ecological theory and social philosophy music and auditory perception increasingly promise connection, immersion and meaning. In This is not music Magdalena Zorn traces this acoustic turn through the concept of “acoustheology”: a mode of thought in which sound becomes a substitute for theology and grounds worldviews, ethics and social imaginations.

Drawing on music history, sound studies, philosophy and media theory the book examines how composers, theorists and artists since the mid-twentieth century have expanded music into a boundless explanatory model — often at the expense of critique, distance and difference. Zorn questions the widespread celebration of resonance, vibration and sonic connectedness and reveals their political, epistemological and affective implications. What appears as intimacy and togetherness, she argues, may just as easily produce conformity, obedience and exclusion.

This is not music is a precise contribution to current debates on sound, ecology and culture – and insists on reflection where immersion promises comfort.

Know Me To Be Your Superior in Everything—Erik Satie & the Metropolitan Church of Art of Jesus the Conductor

Limited-edition version with flexi-disc recording of Satie’s “Leit-motiv du Panthée” performed, as intended, as an accompaniment to a reading of Joséphin Péladan’s Le Panthée.

In 1892, Erik Satie was at a crossroads. Despite having already composed some of the finest works ever written for piano, the 26-year-old was still penniless and unappreciated. His artistic ethos—a paradoxical mix of reactionary Medievalism and avant-garde absurdism—could find no quarter in fin-de-siècle Paris. And so, with his musical aspirations dashed and nowhere left to turn, Satie would turn to himself.

His subsequent revolt was as shocking as it was incomprehensible to his contemporaries. Satie announced himself to be “the Parcener,” the head of a new religious order. It was, in fact, a church of his own founding—The Metropolitan Church of Art of Jesus the Conductor.

Transforming his dilapidated apartment into an “Abbatial Church,” Satie began issuing scathing letters to prominent cultural figures who had sought to render judgment upon his Art. Targets of the Parcener’s screeds ranged from the cape-clad mystagogue, Joséphin Péladan, to the pompous composer, Camille Saint-Saëns; from the novelist Octave Mirbeau, who had dared to lampoon the Parcener, to the theatre director Aurélien Lugné-Poe, whose unintentionally nude stage production had offended the Parcener’s moral sensibilities. The fiercest feud was reserved for music critic Henry Gauthier-Villars, whom the Parcener battled in the press for years, until the spat culminated in a physical altercation at a concert. Throughout the 1890s, luminaries, such as these, found themselves excommunicated from a church to which they had not even known they once belonged.

Inscrutable as the author himself, Satie’s writings from this brief period strike a tone that lies somewhere between fervent Catholicism, anarchistic satire, and the righteous rage of the true Artist—leaving readers befuddled as to the composer’s true intent. Yet, despite the impenetrability of his writings, the Parcener’s missives took the Parisian art scene by storm and, as Satie’s crusade grew in intensity, so too did his reputation, making this era as historically crucial as it is bewildering. Nevertheless, the Metropolitan Church was ultimately a solitary undertaking. Despite certain documents indicating that the Church expected to have more than a billion members, history would show that its congregation never grew beyond one: Erik Satie himself.

Know Me To Be Your Superior in Everything is the first book dedicated exclusively to the story of Erik Satie’s Metropolitan Church of Art of Jesus the Conductor. Drawing upon a multitude of firsthand sources—including documents held in the Erik Satie archives in Caen—the book includes new English translations of all known Church publications and correspondence by Satie as the Parcener. Facsimilic translations of Satie’s Church publications are reproduced herein as well, capturing, for the first time in English, the design and typography of the original productions.

Know Me To Be Your Superior in Everything was written by Sam Kunkel, a scholar of 19th century Symbolist literature. Previous to this book, Kunkel has also provided translations for Echoes of a Natural World—Tales of the Strange & Estranged (First To Knock, 2020); A Beam of Sunlight in the Deep Forest—Mystical Prose Works by Édouard Schuré (First To Knock, 2021); as well as The Solar Circus by Gustave Kahn (First To Knock, 2022). Kunkel has also written extensively in French, covering topics such as Joséphin Péladan and religion in fin-de-siècle Paris. His critical reedition of Péladan’s notorious novel, Istar, was published by Éditions du Lérot in 2024, and his book, L’Orphisme et le roman post-romantique, a comparative study of the mystical novel, was released by Éditions Otrante in 2023.

The retrospective Terry Fox: Elemental Gestures, which opened at the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 2015 before being shown in Mons, Wuppertal, and the Kunstmuseum Bern in 2017, clearly demonstrated Fox’s key role in the development of art since the 1970s. It not only revealed him as a pioneer of performance, video art, and sound installation but also presented his experimental exploration of language and space. A symposium held in conjunction with the Bern exhibition adopted a variety of approaches to reflect on the performances and installations of this European American based in Switzerland. This is the starting point for the publication in which scholars, artists, and close associates seek to define more precisely the often silent “situations” at work between object and word, sound and sculpture, labyrinth and experience, body and action. Thanks to Spector Books (Leipzig).

"Works with Sound" presents a complex body of work, comprising thirty years of sculptures, drawings, environments, and performances. Fox, who since the 1960s radically rejected traditional art forms and sought new ways of artistic expression, has been increasingly concerned with investigating the seldom-observed energetic aspects of materials. Hence, sound gained a central significance in his works. The artist is dedicated to finding sounds that make energies palpable and connect the listener and his physical surroundings. Profusely illustrated rich chronology of all works with sound, including extensive biography and accompanying texts by Terry Fox and contributions by Matthias Osterwold and Eva Schmidt. Edited by Bernd Schulz. Bi-lingual English and German texts.

Accompanied by an audio CD with excerpts from six sound performances since 1975.

Signed dedication to historian and sound theorist Douglas Kahn, from the book's author Matthias Osterwold, a prominent German curator and artistic director who shared a long-standing creative relationship with Terry Fox (1943–2008).

This catalogue combines the publication accompanying the 30th anniversary of Nam June Paik's Global Groove with a re–print of his foundational collection Videa 'n' Videology 1959 – 1973, first published in 1974. Organized by John G. Hanhardt and Caitlin Jones, profusely illustrated with texts in German, English, and Korean.

In 1974, WNET-Channel 13 in New York City broadcast Nam June Paik's Global Groove, a whirlwind, multi-media piece and one of the most influential works of video art. The program took a wide look at culture and transformed the WNET broadcast studio into an experimental venue for dancers, musicians, and performance artists. Weaved into Global Groove were films and videotapes by other artists, interviews and voiceovers, pop music, appropriated commercials, and broadcast breaks.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the broadcast, Global Groove 2004 celebrates Paik's work on and for television, documenting and interpreting his key television projects. The included essays survey and interpret the distinctive contribution Paik made to remaking video and television into an artist's medium, and examine Paik's historical importance and relevance to new developments in internet art. In-depth analysis and photo essays reveal the range of Paik's transformation of video, including his experiments in the 1960s with the Paik-Abe video synthesizer; his seminal videotapes for broadcast: Global Groove, Suite 212, Guadalcanal Requiem, Lake Placid 80, Living with the Living Theater; and his global television productions: Good Morning, Mr. Orwell, Bye Bye Kipling, Wrap Around the World. Additionally, a selection of the artist's seminal writings on the future of television is featured.

Rare early issue of the world's finest "Euro Rock Magazine", Fool's Mate, from Japan. Fool's Mate Vol. 13 August 1980. In the 1970's—1980's, Fool's Mate (named after the 1971 Peter Hammill LP), edited by Masashi Kitamura with regular contributions by Masami Akita (Merzbow) and many other heads, was a vital conduit between emerging and metamorphosing avant-garde music cultures in Europe (Progressive Rock, Art Rock, Free Music, Electronic, Cosmic, Psychedelic Folk, Avant Pop, Rock in Opposition, Post Punk, Industrial, etc.) and Japan. No doubt responsible for the resonance of experimental contemporary music there during that period through to today, each issue of Fool's Mate during these early years was packed cover-to-cover with exclusive interviews with the artists, rare photographs and graphics, thematic genre/artist/label/artistic movement features, in-depth profiles/discographies/family-trees, catalogues, lyrics, letters, collage art, record, book, and live reviews, columns and an endless stream of concert and import/record store/label/venue/cafe adverts, all presented in a perfectly obsessive fanzine aesthetic manner, cut 'n' pasted across many paper stocks. The Americas and other realms, including new directions in Japanese alternative music, are all covered alongside their European counterparts, with many issues exploring key artistic and theoretical influences, such as Symbolism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Eros, Futurism, etc.

This issue "La Pop Metaphysique" with cover feature on the history of King Crimson (Part 1) with in-depth chronology, the history of German Rock Music part 1 (Amon Düül I and II, Gila, Kluster, Neu!, Harmonia, Conrad Schnizler, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Can, Sky Records, Roedelius, Moebius, etc), "Pop Music for all the Schizoid-Human & Schizoid-Ages" (Suicide, James Chance, Monochrome Set, etc.), Slapp Happy/Peter Blegvad/Kew Rhone/Amateur/Henry Cow/Faust, "The Real Story of National Health", "U.S.A.

"(RE/DE) CONSTRUCTIONS &c." was a major exhibition by the American conceptual, Fluxus, and sound artist Terry Fox (1943 – 2008), May 31–July 13, 2003, at the Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel, Germany. This profusely illustrated, comprehensive exhibition catalogue accompanied the show, with contributions by Ulli Seegers and Nikola Dietrich, foreword by Rene Block. Bi–lingual German and English texts. A figure in the conceptual and performance art movements, Fox's work frequently integrated bodily experiences, political actions, and intricate multi-layered audio environments. (RE/DE) CONSTRUCTIONS &c. highlighted his ongoing thematic preoccupations with restructuring spaces, transforming materials, and analyzing sounds. This was an important late survey of the artist's work.

Terry Alan Fox (1943 – 2008) was an American conceptual and fluxus artist known for his work in performance art, video art and sculpture. He was one of the first generation conceptual artists and was a central participant in West Coast conceptual art movements and fluxus in the 1960s and 1970s. More than 120 performances - the first of which took place in Germany in 1970 at the invitation and with the assistance of Joseph Beuys - and numerous museum exhibitions have made him internationally known, especially in museum and artistic circles. He was represented three times at documenta in Kassel. Fox was active in the San Francisco Bay Area and Europe, living and working in Liège, Belgium in the later part of his life.

Here is a fascinating account of the ingenuity and creativity of artists who have made new discoveries in broadcast, public works, performance composition, sound, and text, stretching the boundaries of both transmitter and receiver. At a time when public access struggles with corporate control of the airwaves, artists have combined activism and communications technologies to represent alternative worlds on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Artists featured include Walter Benjamin, Antonin Artaud, Delia Derbyshire, John Cage, Allan Kaprow, Maryanne Amacher, Ray Johnson, Scanner, Videofreex, Valie Export, William Basinski, Marshall McLuhan, Bertolt Brecht, Pierre Schaefer, Negativland, Antoni Muntadas, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Piene, Robert Whitman, Hildegard Westerkamp, Wolf Vostell, Orson Welles, Brandon LaBelle, Tetsuo Kogawa, Max Neuhaus, Keith Sonnier, Ezra Pound, Nam June Paik, Lucio Fontana, Alison Knowles, Chris Burden, Jean Tinguely, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many more.

Very Good copy.

First edition of this out-of-print volume of Alison Knowles collage journal spanning 30 years.

Once upon a time [composer] Jim Tenney and I went walking in the woods. We came to a clearing and there under a tree was an arrangement of toy locomotives in the middle of nowhere. Pausing, we mused, where were they going, where had they been?

Attempting to write just such an imaginative history of her own life, and its comings and goings, New York artist Alison Knowles has compiled Footnotes—a collection of collage pages made from small, red travel books collected over 30 years, then pasted up and redrawn, in no definite or logical order. The settings of these collages range from Germany to Japan (but always coming back to New York), with a loosely woven context provided by jotted-down ideas and overheard conversations between her friends. These delicate pencil drawings convey a sense of time lost and regained, displacement and reorientation, of the scattered nature of our interior lives.

Alison Knowles (b. 1933) is an American visual artist and a founding member of the Fluxus movement, internationally known for her installations, performances, soundworks, and publications.

Very Good copy with light tanning to edges of book block.

Verklärte Nacht and Pierrot Lunaire

In a number of his early compositions, Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951) expressed the strong emotions stirred in him by the poetry of Richard Dehmel. Among these seminal works, Verklärte Nacht (1899) stands out for the beauty and strength of its chromatic language, drawing on Wagner's advances in Tristan und Isolde for its emotional impact.

The program of Verklärte Nacht is a love story. Yet, in both its content and psychology, the work clearly anticipates the innovative twentieth-century music Schoenberg himself helped to forge.
Pierrot Lunaire, one of Schoenberg's best-known and most striking works, was composed in 1912. It is a music setting for solo voice and chamber ensemble of 21 poems by Albert Giraud, translated into German by the Expressionist poet Otto Erich Hartleben. In this satiric work, evoking moods that are by turns ironic, melodramatic, and sinister, Schoenberg incorporates a highly specialized use of the speaking voice, the singing-speech delivery call Sprechstimme, within an instrumental framework of jolting atonality.

Both Verklärte Nacht and Pierrot Lunaire deeply influenced the development of the Second Viennese School and, in time, the course of twentieth-century music. They are reprinted here from authoritative editions.

Broken Music is an essential compendium for records created by visual artists. The publication was edited by Ursula Block and Michael Glasmeier and originally published in 1989 by DAAD.
