AI umění
Ve své kritické eseji AI umění. Strojové vize a pokřivené sny (2020) zkoumá Joanna Zylinska možnosti i limity strojové kreativity v současném umění. S humorem, ironií a filosofickou erudicí propojuje oblasti umění, médií a technologií a zpochybňuje zažité binarity mezi člověkem a strojem, inteligencí a programem, estetikou a etikou. Publikace není technofobní ani nekriticky technofilní – nabízí komplexní pohled na fenomén umělé inteligence jako kulturní i politické události. Autorka se ptá, jaký smysl má umění ve věku algoritmů, kdo je jeho adresátem a co se skrývá za módním označením „AI art“. Text oscilující mezi manifestem, výzkumnou zprávou a spekulativní esejí je cenným příspěvkem k mezioborové diskusi na pomezí filosofie, mediální teorie a vizuální kultury. Překlad z angličtiny Ivan Adamovič. Grafika Kateřina Šuterová.
Dekonstructing the Kardashians
From the creator of the viral Kardashian Kolloquium comes a New Media manifesto for the TikTok age - blending theory, cultural analysis and history to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and what their fame reveals about how media functions today. Since 2007, Kim Kardashian and her extended family have mesmerised - and scandalised - the American public. We've been immersed in their social lives, controversies and reality TV exploits, while witnessing the staggering ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion, beauty and media empire. But the central question remains: why are the Kardashians so famous? And what does their enduring relevance tell us about the media systems that shaped - and were shaped by - the? n Dekonstructing the Kardashians, MJ Corey, creator of the viral social platform Kardashian Kolloquium, delivers more than just the definitive cultural chronicle of the First Family of reality TV. She offers a probing exploration of how media has evolved in the internet age -and how it's reshaping our identities, our attention, and our understanding of reality itself. Part media theory, part cultural critique and part historical deep-dive, Dekonstructing the Kardashians weaves together fifty years of Western media history. Corey shows that the Kardashians aren't just celebrities - they're a mirror of our media moment, offering a key to understanding fame, identity and reality in the digital age.
Hope I Get Old Before I Die
From the author of Abbey Road comes the story of how enduring rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen and many more have remained in the ever changing music game.
When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July 1985 at the grand old age of forty-three, we thought he was on the road to retirement. But as it turns out, he - and many others of his generation - were just getting started.
In the last four decades, the big names of the 60s and 70s have been exploiting the age of spectacle that Live Aid created to enjoy the longest lap of honour in the history of humanity, carrying on long after everyone else had given up.
In this brave new world, Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up the Nobel Prize, the Beatles become, if anything, bigger than the Beatles and it's beginning to look as though, thanks to technology, they will all be playing Las Vegas forever.
Gizmo
We live in a world where many aspects of late twentieth century science fiction have become technological reality. As gadgets and technology in general have become more miniaturised, sleek and capable, so too has an appetite for the sort of quirky, retro tech that wistfully reminds us of earlier times. Nintendo has enjoyed great success with the re-release of their console systems from the 1980s, and US brand Analogue has created a hardware emulator for Sega's classic Mega Drive games. Audio formats such as vinyl records and cassettes have seen a resurgence, along with the devices that can play them.
This book sets out to provide a comprehensive survey of electronic and time-saving gadgets and devices, their evolution and genealogy, revealing where they come from, and how they are developed. In charting the diverse spectrum of gizmos by type and purpose, it uncovers the sometimes unexpected connections between them. Finally, we discover how these technologies have become the nexus of our interaction with each other and the world around us, shaping creativity and culture, storing memories, helping, guiding and, increasingly, thinking for us.

Celluloid Babel
Traces the intellectual history of cinema's aspiration to create a universal language, examining how this vision has been articulated in both writings and films. Celluloid Babel offers a transnational intellectual history of cinema's quest for universal language, unfolding through both writings and films. Today, algorithms and data-collection systems play a significant role in predicting the viewer's preferences and suggesting content specifically tailored to their particular interests. However, this promise of on-demand personalized media is markedly different from the promise outlined in cinema's initial promotional discourse, which celebrated the medium’s ability to appeal to a universal audience. Instead of targeting fragmented audiences, cinema was supposed to captivate and engage everyone all at once, regardless of social station, educational level, or national affiliation. The aspiration for a universal language left an indelible mark on film history, yet despite its significance, the history and theory behind it remain largely unexplored. Celluloid Babel illuminates a pivotal chapter in early film theory and establishes it as the inaugural paradigm of thought on cinema’s nature. By exploring this pursuit, the book reveals the forgotten utopian potential of mass media and uncovers complex correlations among political ideals, aesthetic preferences, material conditions, modes of spectatorship, and governance.

Film Noir. 100 All-Time Favorites
Enter a world populated by private eyes, gangsters, psychopaths, and femmes fatales, where deception, lust, and betrayal run rampant. This film-by-film photography book on film noir and neo-noir begins with the early genre influencers of German and French silent film, journeys through such seminal works such as Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Vertigo, and arrives at the present day via Chinatown, Pulp Fiction, Heat, and the recent cult favorite Drive.
Entries include posters, tons of rare stills, cast/crew details, quotes from the films and from critics, and analyses of the films. Film director, film noir scholar, and Taxi Driver screenwriter Paul Schrader provides the introduction to this feast of noir worship. Populated by the genre's most revered directors, like Hitchcock, Wilder, Welles, Polanski, Mann, and Scorsese, the book also pays homage to its iconic faces, including Mitchum, Bogart, Hayworth, Bergman, Grant, Bacall, Crawford, Nicholson, Pacino, and so many more.
Hitchcock and Hospitality
Unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Hitchcock and Hospitality argues that the violation of hospitality is a driving force behind Alfred Hitchcock's work. From his television hosting to his cameo appearances to the premises of his stories, the Master of Suspense stages a crisis of authority over access to physical and virtual space. Using the familiarity of his work to make a larger contribution to both film and critical theory, this book engages the French tradition of theorizing hospitality with a keen eye for its feminist implications. But the House of Hitchcock unsettles the scene of hospitality further, down to its hold on the organization of social space. Reading for hospitality not just in grand estates and humble cottages but in cars and trains, motels and apartments, and other mobile and transient spaces—including the virtual space of film itself—Hitchcock and Hospitality tracks the drama of modern social exchange and unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Films considered intensively include the familiar (Rebecca, Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds, and Marnie) as well as those that have received less critical attention (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saboteur, Lifeboat, and Dial M for Murder). The book also touches on many other Hitchcock films and on key episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior
The visual dialogue between two maitre couturiers featuring the best creations of Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior
It was in Tunisia, when he was still a teenager, that the young Ala?a first discovered the creations of Christian Dior through fashion magazines made available to him by Madame Pinault. In 1956, on his arrival in Paris, he undertook a brief four-day internship with the great couturier, whom he had always admired. During this time, he immersed himself in the unique atmosphere of a fashion house, observed the work of the head of the atelier, and witnessed the creation of a collection... This seminal experience would be spoken of with emotion for many years to come.
The book Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior: Two Masters of Couture offers a dialogue between Azzedine Alaia's models and those that the couturier patiently collected from Christian Dior. It highlights concepts of style and creation that, despite being separated by several decades, respond to, unite or confront each other, bearing witness to a shared sensibility over time.
Soviet Scientific Institutes
These photographs of once top-secret institutes reveal both fantastical and futuristic technology, alongside crumbling and decrepit facilities, forming a unique document of the condition and situation of scientific research in the post-Soviet landscape.
In Soviet Scientific Institutes photographer Eric Lusito takes us on a journey through time, space and science. Gigantic control panels, monumental telescopes, inexplicable machinery - the facilities he documents might be found in comic book and graphic novel fantasies or the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But why were these institutes built and what purposes do they serve today?
The Soviets promoted science as a utopian ideal to replace religion and rapidly modernise the country. 'Big science' projects, primarily for Cold War military purposes, involved thousands of researchers working in complete secrecy.
In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many institutes were left destitute, their sophisticated technology condemned to extinction. But some scientists persevered, adapting to the new landscape. Today, defying the odds, they persist - even in wartime - to continue their work.
Lusito gained unique access to sites across former republics and satellites of the USSR - from a cosmic ray research centre in the remote Armenian mountains, to one of the world's largest radars located in Ukraine, which locals believed to be a climate-altering weapon.
The first visual account of this once closed world, this awe-inspiring publication bears witness to our never-ending quest for knowledge.

Keith Haring in 3D
A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haring - one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artists - with a special focus on his three-dimensional work
From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects - whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls - as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Keith Haring in 3Dilluminates this rarely explored dimension of Haring’s work, and its role in his enduring legacy. The book’s generous format and engaging design, including more than 350 illustrations, invites readers to immerse themselves in the world Haring created. Featuring archival photographs of Haring at work, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and a trove of essays by respected curators, scholars, and collectors, Keith Haring in 3D celebrates in stunning detail the buoyant, brilliant work of one of the world’s most iconic artists.
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Written in less than ten days in 1994, The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert became a cultural phenomenon that fundamentally altered mainstream ideas about queer identity worldwide. The iconic imagery of Priscilla still resonates as a symbol of global queer pride and liberation in spite of a critical reception that has varied since its release. Renée Middlemost provides valuable insight into the key debates surrounding the film through an overview of its production, initial reception, and legacy – adaptation into a stage musical, theme for an Olympic float, and inspiration for reality television programs. The evolution of Priscilla’s reputation also offers insight into ever-changing cultural attitudes: wild praise upon release, academic and critical backlash, and finally a nuanced but warm welcome into the history of Australian cinema. Equal parts road movie, musical, and comedy, Priscilla moved between genres, pulling off a radical centring of queer lives for mainstream consumption in the mid-1990s. Passing its thirtieth anniversary, The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert endures as cult object and cultural touchstone, adored by devoted audiences while serving as a reminder of progress made and the work still needed for acceptance. As Middlemost says of her first viewing in a suburban Sydney multiplex in 1994: “It was rude, it was sparkly, it shocked the family members who had begrudgingly taken me; I loved it.”

My Morandi
The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi's work.
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.
My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani's memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi's paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist's aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi's work at Magnani's villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani's personal collection of Morandi's work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint painted as though she was channeling the universe. Fascinated from childhood by botany and mathematics, she began her career painting landscapes and portraits, but other preoccupations stirred within her: questions of spirit, unseen energies, patterns too vast for the eye alone.
Her art was inseparable from her spiritual practice. With a circle of female artists called The Five, she held séances, heard voices from "High Masters," and was inspired by the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner’s theories. Working tirelessly to map life’s hidden dimensions, she would paint to the point of physical collapse.
By 1906, her canvases featured radiant geometries of spirals and orbs, impregnated with symbols, letters, and words, anticipating the later embrace of abstraction by Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, and others. Her vast painted cycles?like her works for the Temple and The Ten Largest?often depicted dualities: inside and out, the earthly and the esoteric, man and woman, good and evil.
Living as a vegetarian, questioning the fixity of gender, af Klint was clearly before her time, yet very much of it too, and pretty much uncelebrated in her day. Her prodigious output lay unseen for decades, locked away by her own instruction. Only in the 1980s did the world begin to recognize her as a true pioneer of abstract art.
This book invites you into her visionary world, via a luminous selection of her works and a detailed essay distilling their complexity. Her once-secret universe is revealed to us anew.
88,2 FM - Zrod legendy
Magických 36 let od vzniku fenoménu českého rozhlasového éteru! Na Evropě 2 začínali Leona Machálková, sourozenci Gondíkovi, ale taky Luďěk Hrzal nebo Vítek Pokorný. Až později stanice udělala hvězdy z Leoše Mareše, Patrika Hezuckého či Renáty Kajdžas.
Nová kniha Nakladatelství Olympia popisuje fenomenální a hlavně bleskový vstup prvního soukromého rádia do postkomunistického éteru ve vzpomínkách aktérů „první party moderátorů Evropy 2“ obohacené ještě o další vzpomínky kolegů a kolegyň, které dal odpovědně dohromady Libor Šprysl. 88,2FM – Zrod legendy také odhaluje, kdo byl v druhé polovině 90. let objevitelem momentálně největší hvězdy Evropě 2 Leoše Mareše.
„Měli jsme v devadesátkách naladěnu Evropu 2 všude, kde rádio bylo slyšet. Devadesátky byly ve znamení překotných změn ve všech oblastech a médiím se nevyhnuly rovněž. Vznik prvního soukromého rádia je od samého začátku shluk náhod, na jehož konci stojí fenomenální úspěch. Každá vzpomínka na devadesátky se musí zaznamenat, dokud si ještě něco pamatujeme. Proto jsme se do toho pustili. Není to deník ani dějepisná knížka. Jsem pyšný, že jsem mohl být součástí porevolučního kvasu, stejně jako dění u zrodu legendy. Nechceme být striktně přesní, abychom nebyli nudní, spíš popsat tu dobu z našeho pohledu. Každý z nás si pamatuje něco jiného, nějak jinak, a dohromady to dává docela zajímavý plastický obrázek. Z mejdanu na mejdan, přepudrovat obličej, a mohlo se opět vyrazit. Byla to krásná doba, o které se má mluvit ze všech úhlů pohledu. My jsme to zkusili.“
