PSYOP. An Anthology

Benjamin H. Bratton, Laura Cugusi, Holly Herndon, Maria Lind, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Brian Kuan Wood, a.o.
Metahaven ist ein in Amsterdam ansässiges Kollektiv unter der Leitung von Vinca Kruk und Daniel van der Velden. Ihre Arbeiten verorten sich zwischen Film, Kunst, Forschung und Design. In den von ihnen geschaffenen dokumentarischen Werken, Musikvideos, Schriften, Publikationen und Vorträgen setzen sie sich mit Begriffen wie Propaganda, Wahrheit und Identität auseinander.
Recognisably and fearlessly designed by Metahaven and densely illustrated, this uniquely original and experimental publication offers a fresh perspective on Metahaven´s exceptional and versatile practice by offering reflections on how to understand the collective’s work within a broader context, as well as by zooming in on their recent shift to moving image work. It will offer as-yet unpublished reflections on their practice by renowned and compelling voices, thinking through the various ways in which their sprawling body of work is embedded in the socio-political challenges of today, as well as in visual culture and art history.
