This is a large, attractive book, at home on any coffee table, in either hard or soft cover. Hacking into the new virtual geography, where time and space do not exist, but where thought survives, as in art. In this age of transition and sensory overload, new ideas and organizations of perception form. To be marginalized, misunderstood, ignored, reviled. But melancholy can fuel creation.
Imagination can replace fantasy.
Hope can overcome fear. Different interpretations of the past an fresh approaches to art and technology can ensure the evolution and refinement of the perception of everyday life. In the virtual universe, there is no death. This is the third of a series of periodicals devoted to documenting apocalypse culture. Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum by Frank Gehry, Barcelona's Museum of Contemporary Art by Richard Meier, Madrid's Reina Sofia, Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences by Santiago Calatrava and Pontevedra's Island of Sculptures are but a few of the tantalizing attractions.
