style="font-size: 8pt;"><span style="font-family:
arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">co-edited by Deborah
Hauptmann and Warren Neidich, brings together
experts from a variety of fields to propose a new
theoretical ‘Becoming Brain’ model in which evolving
cultural conditions are coupled to the
potentialities of brain and mind. This volume
delineates the radical notion of how artists and
architects in conversation with the changing
discursive fields in which they are embedded,
inflected as they are by such notions as
post-colonialism, feminism, film/media theory and
racial politics, produce new cultural landscapes in
ways that change what it is that we pay attention
to, for instance, in the designed space of the
city. This has implications for what, as
individuals and as a society, we can process and
will remember.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In
the new economy, labor has taken on many of the
characteristics that formerly marked the experience
of politics. The term virtuosity is now used to
express the logics of this economy in which labor
finds its own fulfillment in and of itself without
the need to produce a finished product. Think here
of the difference between the brand creating
activities of a public relations firm and an
automobile factory. Cognitive architecture is at
odds with this reading and instead posits an
alternative approach that calls for a new form of
materialism, in which political action and labor
indeed produce effects through the sculpting of the
brain, meaning both its static components - neurons,
synaptic junctions and dendrites - as well as its
dynamic signatures. This then becomes the new site
of competition between the institutional domains of
power and the forces of resistance that art
embodies. This brain-sculpting results in a
fundamental restructuring of the neurobiological
substrate has implications for the imagination and
affects the formation of the world picture as it
appears and is constituted, in the end, effecting
what Deleuze refers to as the history of the image
of thought or noology in which the normal stratified
arrangement that characterized the history of what
is possible to think and which philosophy recounts
is mashed up.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

style="font-size: 8pt;"><span style="font-family:

herausgegeben von Deborah Hauptmann und Warren
Neidich, vereinigt Experten aus einer Vielzahl
unterschiedlicher Bereiche, um ein neuartiges
theoretisches Modell des "Gehirn-Werdens"
vorzustellen, in dem in Entwicklung befindliche
kulturelle Bedingungen mit den Potentialitäten von
Gehirn und Geist zusammen kommen. Diese
Textsammlung umreißt den radikalen Ansatz, bei dem
Künstler/innen und Architekt/innen im Austausch
mit den sich wandelnden Diskursfeldern, in denen
sie unter Oberbegriffen wie Postkolonialismus,
Feminismus, Film- und Medientheorie und
"Rassen"-Politik agieren, neue kulturelle
Landschaften erschließen – unter Veränderung all
jener Bereiche, denen unsere Aufmerksamkeit gilt,
so etwa dem Bereich des gestalteten städtischen
Raums. Dies hat Konsequenzen für unsere
individuelle und gesellschaftliche Verarbeitungs-
und Erinnerungsfähigkeit.</span></span></span></span></div>

style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In
der New Economy hat Arbeit zahlreiche
Charakteristika dessen übernommen, was zuvor für
die Erfahrung des Politischen kennzeichnend war.
Der Begriff der Virtuosität wird heute gebraucht,
um die Logik jener Ökonomie zu beschreiben, in der
Arbeit zum Selbstzweck gerät, ohne dass durch sie
ein fertiges Produkt entstehen müsste. Hier denke
man etwa an den Unterschied zwischen den
Branding-Aktivitäten einer PR-Firma und eines
Autoherstellers. Die kognitive Architektur stellt
sich gegen eine solche Auslegung und trägt
stattdessen einen alternativen Ansatz vor, der
nach einer neuen Form des Materialismus verlangt,
bei dem politisches Handeln und Arbeit Wirkungen
tatsächlich durch ein Skulptieren des Gehirns
erzeugen, womit sowohl dessen statische
Bestandteile - Neuronen, synaptische Verbindungen
und Dendriten – als auch seine dynamische
Signaturen gemeint sind. Dies wird in der Folge zu
einem neuen Austragungsort von
Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den institutionellen
Machtbereichen und den widerständigen Kräften, für
die Kunst steht. Das Skulptieren des Gehirns, das
eine grundlegende Neustrukturierung des
neurobiologischen Substrats nach sich zieht, hat
Folgen für die Einbildungskraft und wirkt sich auf
die Formierung des Weltbilds nach Maßgabe seines
In-Erscheinung-Tretens und seiner Konstitution
aus. Letzten Endes beeinflusst es, was Deleuze als
Geschichte des Denkbildes oder als Noologie
bezeichnet hat, bei der sich die normalerweise
stratifizierte Anordnung, die charakteristisch für
die Geschichte der Denkmöglichkeiten war und die
von der Philosophie erzählt wird, vermischt.</span></span></span></span></div>
