Colliding worlds : how cutting-edge science is redefining contemporary art / by Miller, Arthur I.,author.(CARDINAL)336545;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In search of the invisible -- Montmartre in New York -- The computer meets art -- Computer art morphs into media art -- Visualizing the invisible -- Intermezzo : how science helped resolve the world's greatest art scandal -- Imagining and designing life -- Hearing as seeing -- The art of visualizing data -- Comrades-in-arms : encouraging, funding, and housing Artsci -- In the eye of the beholder? -- The coming of a third culture.In recent decades, an exciting new art movement has emerged in which artists utilize and illuminate the latest advances in science. Some of their provocative creations--a live rabbit implanted with the fluorescent gene of a jellyfish, a gigantic glass-and-chrome sculpture of the Big Bang (pictured on the cover)--can be seen in traditional art museums and magazines, while others are being made by leading designers at Pixar, Google's Creative Lab, and the MIT Media Lab. In Colliding Worlds, Arthur I. Miller takes readers on a wild journey to explore this new frontier. Miller, the author of several celebrated books on science and creativity, traces the movement from its seeds a century ago--when Einstein's theory of relativity helped shape the thinking of the Cubists--to its flowering today. From NanoArt to Big Data, Miller reveals the extraordinary possibilities when art and science collide.--From publisher description.

Gossip men : J. Edgar Hoover, Joe McCarthy, Roy Cohn, and the politics of insinuation / by Elias, Christopher M.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-289) and index.Introduction -- The topography of modernity -- The professional bureaucrat in the public eye -- Populist masculinity in the American heartland -- The power broker as a young man -- Scandal as a political art -- Under the Klieg lights -- Epilogue : the long life of surveillance state masculinity."The legacies of Joseph McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn seem like they might be with us forever. Yet Christopher Elias finds in them startling new connections between gender, sexuality, and national security in 20th-century US politics--a paradigm he christens "security state masculinity." Elias integrates biographies of the trio with a history of gossip magazines and their tactics--such as insinuation, guilt by association, hyperbole, and alarmism, not to mention cynicism, slang, and photographic manipulation--which all three used to consolidate their power. The story of security state masculinity reached its climax in the Army-McCarthy hearings, which were rife with insinuations and coded threats. Using gossip as a lens, Elias shifts our understanding of the development of American political culture"--
