> Subject: Leonardo Book Series Release: Metal and Flesh by Ollivier Dyens
> 
> The Leonardo Book Series published by MIT Press is pleased to announce the
> release of "Metal And Flesh, The Evolution of Man: Technology Takes Over"
> by Ollivier Dyens, translated by Evan J. Bibbee and Ollivier Dyens.
> 
> For more than 3,000 years, humans have explored uncharted geographic and
> spiritual realms. Present-day explorers face new territories born from the
> coupling of living tissue and metal, strange lifeforms that are
> intelligent but unconscious, neither completely alive nor dead. Our bodies
> are now made of machines, images, and information. We are becoming
> cultural bodies in a world inhabited by cyborgs, clones, genetically
> modified animals, and innumerable species of human/information symbionts.
> Ollivier Dyens¹s Metal and Flesh is about two closely related phenomena:
> the technologically induced transformation of our perceptions of the world
> and the emergence of a cultural biology. Culture, according to Dyens, is
> taking control of the biosphere. Focusing on the twentieth century--which
> will be remembered as the century in which the living body was blurred,
> molded, and transformed by technology and culture--Dyens ruminates on the
> undeniable and irreversible human/machine entanglement that is changing
> the very nature of our lives. Ollivier Dyens is Assistant Professor of
> French at Concordia University in Montreal.

> 
> The conference CULT 2001 ­ previously announced at this maillist - was

> 
> 
> The interface between Cultural Heritage, Netart and State of the Art
> Projects is new. It is both innovative, challenging and a critical vehicle
> for issues concerning collaboration, communication and dissemination
> strategies in modern societies.
> 
> CULT 2001 established a platform for discussions and reflections on these
> new visions of collaboration and dissemination strategies.

> Hermenaut's regular contributors -- to Erik's friends and acquaintances.
