Kenneth FitzGerald: Volume: Writings on Graphic Design, Music, Art, and Culture (2010)
Filed under book | Tags: · art, design, graphic design, outsider art, pornography
Volume—a word that refers to sound, collections, and the measurement of space—is a crucial characteristic of both graphic design and popular music. While expressing different aspects of these two pervasive cultural mediums, the term also introduces a discussion on their many links. Volume: Writings on Graphic Design, Music, Art, and Culture is a collection of both new and classic writings by frequent Emigre contributor and educator Kenneth FitzGerald that survey the discipline of graphic design in context with the parallel creative fields of contemporary music and art. The topics of the writings are diverse: the roles of class in design, design education, Lester Bangs and Creem magazine, pornography, album cover art, independent record labels, anonymity and imaginary creative identities, and design as cultural chaos-maker.

Jussi Parikka, Tony D. Sampson (eds.): The Spam Book: On Viruses, Porn, and Other Anomalies from the Dark Side of Digital Culture (2009)
Filed under book | Tags: · internet, media studies, pornography, software, spam, technology, virus
For those of us increasingly reliant on email networks in our everyday social interactions, spam can be a pain; it can annoy; it can deceive; it can overlaod. Yet spam can also enterain and perplex us. This book is an aberation into the dark side of network culture. Instead of regurgitating stories of technological progress or over celebrating creative social media on the internet, it filters contemporary culture through its anomalies.
