The University of Chicago Press Atmospheres of Projection: Environmentality in Art and Screen Media
Bringing together cultural history, visual studies, and media archaeology, Bruno considers the interrelations of projection, atmosphere, and environment. Projection has long been transforming space, from shadow plays to camera obscuras and magic lantern shows. Our fascination with projection is alive on the walls of museums and galleries and woven into our daily lives. Giuliana Bruno explores the histories of projection and atmosphere in visual culture and their continued importance to contemporary artists who are reinventing the projective imagination with atmospheric thinking and the use of elemental media. To explain our fascination with projection and atmosphere, Bruno traverses psychoanalysis, environmental philosophy, architecture, the history of science, visual art, and moving image culture to see how projective mechanisms and their environments have developed over time. She reveals how atmosphere is formed and mediated, how it can change, and what projection can do to modify a site. In so doing, she gives new life to the alchemic possibilities of transformative projective atmospheres. Showing how their “environmentality” produces sites of exchange and relationality, this book binds art to the ecology of atmosphere.

Hatje Cantz Tobias Putrih: Perceptron
Paper, cardboard, plywood, light—decidedly conceptual and materially ephemeral, Tobias Putrih’s projects draw on the visionary concepts of architecture and design and utopian ideas of the 20th century avant-gardes. This book traces Putrih’s investigations into the heritage of architectural experiments such as the works of Buckminster Fuller and Friedrich Kiesler. Perceptron is the first comprehensive survey of Putrih’s work that oscillates between architecture, sculpture, and science. Through an encyclopedic array of reference materials and critical texts, it examines Putrih’s practice in the context of architectural and design history as well as the history of cybernetics, and offers a richly illustrated study of Putrih’s modifications of public spaces, experiments with collective form, as well as his immersive temporary environments created out of everyday materials.
