Salter examines three works in which the materials of art - the 'stuff of the world' - behave and perform in ways beyond the creator's intent, becoming unknown, surprising, alien. Studying these works - all three deeply embroiled in and enabled by science and technology - allows him to focus on practice through the experiential and affective elements of creation. Drawing on extensive ethnographic observation and on his own experience as an artist, Salter investigates how researcher-creators organize the conditions for these experimental, performative assemblages that sidestep dichotomies between subjects and objects, human and nonhuman, mind and body, knowing and experiencing." 606 $aArtificial life 606 $aExperience 606 $aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy 606 $aTissue culture$xPhilosophy 606 $aSenses and sensation 610 $aDIGITAL HUMANITIES & NEW MEDIA/New Media Art 610 $aARTS/Art Theory & Criticism 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Media Studies 615 0$aArtificial life. 615 0$aExperience. 615 0$aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTissue culture$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSenses and sensation. 676 $a303.48/33 700 $aSalter$b Chris$f1967-$01683880 702 $aPickering$b Andrew$f1948- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807634103321 996 $aAlien agency$94054989 997 $aUNINA
