  UNPLUGGED
Art as the Scene of Global Conflicts

Hatje Cantz, ISBN 3-7757-1207-0

UNPLUGGED focuses on the blind spots of globalization, those barriers of a mental and geographic nature that make getting connected to and taking part in this process of global networking impossible, illicit or even unwelcome. Selected texts and exemplary projects will raise issues and discuss questions dealing with art as the scene of global conflicts and the political aspects of art. The catalog accompanying Ars Electronica 2002 not only contains theoretical contributions but also presents positions of a young generation of media artists, and examines their conception of self and their consciousness of the problems confronting them.
With contributions by Saskia Sassen, Aminata D. Traoré, Jeremy Rifkin, Oumou Sy, Mike Jensen, Lisa Goldman-Carney, Danny Schechter, Paul Virilio and many others.

The catalog can be ordered in any bookshop or directly at Hatje Cantz, http://www.hatjecantz.de.
