Frontmatter -- Content -- List of Illustrations -- Foreword: On Grids and Networks -- Acknowledgements -- 1 Introduction ‒ The Arts of the Grid: Interdisciplinary Insights on Gridded Modalities in Conversation with the Arts -- 2 The Networked Artwork: The Grid as Dynamic Relational Form? -- Part I: Planting and Planning the Grid -- 3 The Grid Specialized: Practical Town Planning, Artistic Features, and Natural Settings in Twentieth-Century Brazilian New Towns -- 4 Centrifugal or Processional: Divine and Mundane Power in Ancient Chinese Funeral Grids -- 5 Globalizing Senegal’s Grid-Plan Legacies in Light of Islamic Studies, World History and Urban Studies -- Part II: Generating Grids of Computational Arts -- 6 Between Technological and Aesthetic Grids: Philosophical Challenges Posed by AI Artists -- 7 Sounds in Grid: History and Development of Grid-Based Musical Interfaces and their Rooting in Sound, Interaction and Screen Design -- 8 On Grids of Contemporary Art Production: A Convergence of Artistic, Computational, Craft and Performative Making -- Part III: Kinetic Grids: Bridging, Digging, Floating -- 9 Searching for the Grid at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century: When Art and Science Shared their Fragments -- 10 Depth as Grid: An Improvisational Actor’s Perspective -- 11 How to Do Things with Grids: Anarchitectures of Navigability -- Part IV: Grids of Learning: Linguistic, Virtual, Visual -- 12 The Linguistics Relation in the Virtual Grid: A Digital Dialogue -- 13 Storytelling in Virtual Reality: A Multidisciplinary and Immersive Experience using Grid Methodology for Students -- 14 The Multidisciplinary Learning Grid: A Conceptual Space to Develop Neuropedagogy-based, Arts-integrated Chemistry Activities -- 15 Concluding Remarks: Grids of Light, Darkness, and Intermediate Shades -- About the Contributors -- About the Participant Artists
Summary: This is the first collection of interdisciplinary scholarship to expand on gridded modalities, with a strong affinity to the arts. It seeks to inspire new avenues of research by exploring a horizon of gridded relationships among humans, between humans and the environment, and between human and non-human actors. By bringing together philosophical themes and applied practices, the volume traces a genealogy of the "grid" as an exercise in grasping its inherent complexity and incomplete quality. A collective effort by a group of researchers, practitioners, and designers, it promotes an understanding of gridded modalities as complex networks that interact with other networks, generating new meanings and reflecting changes in thought.
