Subject: [OA-monographs] 2 new titles, 3 books

Dear friends,
We are delighted to announce two new titles (but in fact three books), just in time for the holiday season: Remixing Persona by Mark Amerika and Laura Kim, and a double volume set: Immediation, edited by Erin Manning, Anna Munster and Bodil Marie Stavning Thomsen.
Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife
is comprised of two components: a visual manifesto that doubles as a
theoretical e-reader and a work of music video art. In building this
project, the artists collaboratively investigate persona-making,
performance-thinking, and applied remixology.
All “media-tion” stages and distributes real, embodied – that is,
immediate, events. The concept of immediation entails that cultural,
technical, aesthetic objects, subjects, and events can no longer be
abstracted from the ways in which they contribute to and are changed by
broader ecologies. Immediation I and II seek to engage the entwined questions of
relation, event and ecology from outside already claimed territories,
nomenclature and calls to action.
