e-Book edited by Chris Salter, Harry Smoak and Michel van Dartel.
Price: 7.99 Euro

/The Vibrancy Effect/ e-Book originates from a closed expert meeting 
organized by V2_ and Chris Salter in 2011, that brought together 
artists, social scientists, natural scientists and humanities experts to 
explore the question of what matter does to us and the world, and to 
bridge the gap between different disciplines conceptualizing and working 
with new notions of 'vibrant materiality' (Jane Bennett) and 'material 
agency' (Andrew Pickering).
