Southern Exposure will be hosting my three-part discussion series
called Thinkings: How computers change the way we see by altering the
way we think.
Tuesday, September 21, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Tuesday, October 19, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Tuesday, November 16, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Over the course of three evenings, participants will work through concepts that are crucial to understanding the computer’s significance: the automation of variation, the automation of the sublime, and the automation of the image itself. The book produced for the series is meant to focus attention on these visual aspects of computational culture and to stimulate discussion.
Purchase of the book is required ($35.00, scholarships available based on need). Participants are encouraged to attend all three events. There is limited space, so sign up in advance by calling Southern Exposure at 415-863-2141.

This Book is founded on a principle upheld by leading designers: the best project is not necessarily the one that is patented, that is created by architectural firms or at the computer by leading companies, but rather the one that springs from the simplicity of daily life. Starting from this concept, Daniele Pario Perra presents here the results of a vast research project carried out between Northern Europe and the Southern Mediterranean, in the course of which he documented thousands of examples of spontaneous creativity, creating a visual dictionary that strikes a constant balance between poetic skill and technological skill. The ideas presented are classified according to different levels of research and design categories, and stimulate reflection on the recovery and re-use ofmaterials. This is a book that involves us by taking a far-reaching, free-ranging, eclectic and radical look at our daily life.
