Description: "Surface is one of the most intensely debated topics in recent arts, humanities and social science scholarship. The changing technologies which manufacture the actual and virtual surfaces of today are radically altering our perception of thresholds and borders. In this volume, international scholars of design and the arts explore a different meaning and function of the material and immaterial qualities of 'surface'.
