Software for Artists Book: Untethering the Web

Software for Artists Book: Untethering the Web

What will the internet of the future make possible?

Untethering the Web explores the technologies, strategies and anxieties that coalesced in 2022 to shape a new digital paradigm. As naturalized citizens of today’s always-online world and as survivors of a multiyear pandemic, the need to reform our digital tools and approaches is more pressing than ever before. Evolved models for virtual convening, collective organizing and digital ownership are making this possible, and a reckoning for the platformed web and its monolithic tech giants is beginning to feel imminent–but how will it all unfold, and what new pitfalls will emerge?

In conjunction with Pioneer Works’ seventh Software for Artists Day in October 2022, creators, technologists and members of our community share their visions for a flourishing digital multiverse, and how they imagine it manifesting over time.

Featuring Jace Clayton, Aria Dean, Mat Dryhurst, Nora N. Khan, Jenson Leonard, Umber Majeed, Trevor McFedries, Everest Pipkin, Billy Rennekamp, and Mindy Seu

Nike Releases “No Finish Line,” a Design Vision for the Next 50 Years

What to Know

Nike is releasing “No Finish Line,” a new book that invites and inspires the next generation of athletes to imagine the infinite possibilities of design and sport.

“No Finish Line” celebrates Nike’s 50 years of game-changing design and innovation in the service of athletes and sport — and sets a vision for the next 50 years.

The book includes a foreword by Nike’s Chief Design Officer, John Hoke, speculative fiction by journalist Geoff Manaugh, and essays by author Sam Grawe that describe five major shifts design may undergo in the coming decades.

“It’s been said that the best way to predict the future is to create it. At Nike, we wholeheartedly agree. For over 50 years, we’ve endeavored to create a better future for athletes. This compels us forward, always. When we say, ‘There is no finish line,’ it’s not a lazy reference to an unending grind or destination-less journey, but rather an expression of our belief in the limitless potential of sport — and design.”

With this opening paragraph from a foreword by Nike’s Chief Design Officer, John Hoke, the tone is set for “No Finish Line,” a new book that aims to invite, inspire and provoke the next generation of athletes to create a better world through design and sport.

Through exploratory, multilevel conversations on design and critical inputs to it ­­— such as sport research, technology and manufacturing — “No Finish Line” charts Nike’s 50 years of game-changing design and innovation in the service of athletes and sport and projects a vision for the next 50 years. In addition to the foreword from Hoke, the book includes speculative fiction by journalist Geoff Manaugh and essays from Sam Grawe, the author of “Nike: Better Is Temporary.” The essays describe five major shifts design may undergo in the coming decades. To arrive at these shifts, Grawe interviewed more than a dozen of Nike’s most inspiring designers, scientists, engineers, researchers and leaders, yielding unprecedented insights into Nike’s creative process. The collective voices projected a future of design that evolves from product to platform, performance to promise, elite to everyone, sustainable to symbiotic, and static to sensorial.

This sense of promise and evolution propels readers forward as “No Finish Line” defines Nike’s culture of innovation through the lens of the athletes, designers and scientists at its cutting edge; celebrates design not as an outcome, but as an endless journey; and suggests we can shape a better future by simply daring to create it.

“No Finish Line” is designed by Zak Group with custom illustrations by Bráulio Amado and synthesized imagery by PWR. Fluidly combining text and found imagery to create graphic-rich layouts and visual collages, the pocket-size paperback interprets the rich tradition of progressive bookmaking for a new era.

Published by Actual Source, “No Finish Line” retails for $26 and is available February 14 through booksellers, including Actual Source Books and Machus in the United States; Artwords Bookshop, Counterpoint, Design Museum Den Bosch, do you read me?!, ICA Bookstore, Librairie Sans Titre, MagCulture, Papercut, Vitra Design Museum and Yvon Lambert in Europe; and Bianji, Commune, DAIKANYAMA T-SITE and NADiff a/p/a/r/t in Japan.

When Acne Paper was relaunched last year, it arrived as a hybrid between a book and a magazine, reimagined in a new format and bold design direction: expanding to 500 pages. The new issue of Acne Paper has taken the idea of a hybrid one step further. Part biography, part novel, part cultural art journal, part fashion magazine, this experimental and interdisciplinary issue is imagined around the story of Atticus: a fictional personality in the art world who will celebrate his one hundred-year birthday during the Acne Paper launch in Milan in November.

Vantage Point is a collaborative publication between American artist Daniel Everett and Swedish artist Mårten Lange.

The project started as a conversation in 2016 at an exhibition for Daniel’s book “Throughout the Universe in Perpetuity” (Études, 2015) during the ‘One Thousand Books’ Art Book Festival at the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. Mårten was in attendance and instantly recognized one of Daniel’s images. It turned out that he had taken the exact same image from the exact same place/vantage point that Daniel had, just a short time apart in Tokyo. This amazing coincidence prompted the two to begin working together to compile more images from their individual trips to Japan to be shown together in a book. In 2020 FOAM published an excerpt from the project in issue #56 and this book is the full compilation of images.

The Model Family

Published by Loose Joints, 2022

Intergenerational love, loss, trauma and joy are explored in a project mining the ambiguities of memory, through thirty years of the artist photographing her family.

Ellis Ritter’s first monograph The Model Family loops and deconstructs family photographs of the past and her own contemporary images, in the process confronting head-on the ambiguity of photography and its role in memory and identity. However, far from being a space of nostalgia, The Model Family explores family dynamics with unflinching detail: death, birth, conflict, divorce and sexuality mix matter-of-factly alongside conventional, aspirational nuclear normality: pets, marriage, smiling faces, deep summer evenings. In Ellis Ritter’s circular conception of the family, imperceptibly oscillating between the past and the present, the artist explores how the images of those closest to you are also often the most slippery, sliding just out of reach.

Erik Brunetti

Hardcover, 60 pages
26 x 32,5 cm

ISBN 978-88-971852-22

Language: English

Published by KALEIDOSCOPE, edited by Alessio Ascari, and designed by Swiss-based art direction firm Kasper-Florio, “Erik Brunetti: Oval Parody” is a new artist book published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title at Spazio Maiocchi, Milan.

Inspired by FUCT’s now defunct parody of the Ford logo—the iconic graphics that cemented Brunetti’s authority as the original subverter of what is now called streetwear, and played a key early role in establishing reappropriation as a fundamental gesture within its lexicon—“Oval Parody” centers on a new series of twelve acrylic paintings furthering Brunetti’s thought-provoking feedback loop of reference, interpretation, and creation.

Featuring an essay by Adam Wray, the book is punctuated by Brunetti’s annotations, first-hand anecdotes, and rarely-seen images stemming directly from FUCT’s archives.

Erik Brunetti (American, b. 1967) is an American artist, designer, and founder of the cult Los Angeles brand FUCT.
