In Living Surfaces, Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jussi Parikka explore how the surface of the Earth has, over the last two centuries, become known and perceived as an environment of images. Living Surfaces features a range of case studies from eighteenth-century experiments with and observations of vegetal matter, photosynthesis, and plant physiology to twenty-first-century machine vision and AI techniques of calculating agricultural and other landscape surfaces. Mapping these different scales of vegetal images, Gil-Fournier and Parikka help us understand core questions that pertain to the artistic and architectural reference points for the Anthropocene.With 42 black-and-white and full-color illustrations, Living Surfaces is an engaging and unique take on environmental surfaces as they come to occupy a central place in our understanding of planetary change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702226256160,"sku":"NEW0262547953","price":67.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81mCylGxcxL.jpg?v=1779387964","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/living-surfaces-images-plants-and-environments-of-media-leonardo-0262547953","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
