| Summary: | Toward (im)measurability of art and life gathers together various stories, practices and essays about measurement that embrace paradox, contradiction and humor. The book creates and introduces incidents of ideas, conceptual methods, acts, and processes of measurement that dwell in in a conceptual transition between science (technology) and everyday life. When measurement is viewed as practice, it is important to recall that data processing, especially visualisation, actually necessitates many aesthetic decisions. By understanding measurment as comprising subjectivity and constructing reality, rather than merely reporting on it, the potential of artistic innovation has great relevance with respect to a practice of participating in thinking and exercising that languages of measurement. |
