The Contemporary Condition (book series)
Geoff Cox and Jacob Lund (eds.)
The Contemporary Condition offers a sustained inquiry into contemporaneity as a defining condition of our historical present. Departing from the assumption that the relationship between artistic practice and socio-political reality is radically changing, the series explores planetarity, the aesthetics of eco-systemic changes, and how the networked image can be understood as a relational assemblage to address the politics of infrastructure and wider ecologies. Series edited by Geoff Cox and Jacob Lund.
