Bourriaud, Nicolas

Relational Aesthetics - Les Presses Du Réel 1998 - 195p. 15 x 3.1 x 21 cm

Where does our current obsession for interactivity stem from? After the consumer society and the communication era, does art still contribute to the emergence of a rational society? Bourriaud attempts to renew our approach toward contemporary art by getting as close as possible to the artists works, and by revealing the principles that structure their thoughts: an aesthetic of the inter-human, of the encounter; of proximity, of resisting social formatting.
