COMMUNITY

MARCH YASMIN DISCUSSION: MULTISENSORY PERCEPTION
We perceive the world with all our senses. In visual media we've  
become mesmerized by the vibrancy of saturated colored light. Ipods  
and MP3 players allow singular insular worlds of sound, which have  
become a personal soundtrack to real life. Our sense of smell is  
informed by a synthetic overlay of fragrance in our personal space.  
For the month of March, join the YASMIN discussion group on the topic  
of multisensory perception. Find out more

PUBLICATIONS

RETHINKING CURATING BY BERYL GRAHAM AND SARAH COOK
NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE MIT PRESS
Rethinking Curating by Beryl Graham and Sarah Cook explores the  
characteristics distinctive to new media art, including its  
immateriality and its questioning of time and space, and relates them  
to such contemporary art forms as video art, conceptual art, socially  
engaged art, and performance art. The authors, both of whom have  
extensive experience as curators, offer numerous examples of artworks  
and exhibitions to illustrate how the roles of curators and audiences  
can be redefined in light of new media art's characteristics.  
Rethinking Curating is now available through the Leonardo Book Series  
(MIT Press). Find out more
