As Tschudi clearly states, this book contains only a small and select presentation of Piranesi’s prolific output—mainly his etchings, his greatest legacy. “In short, rather than a study of a historical figure, this is a book about an ahistorical Piranesi—a character reinvented in the modern age to legitimize that age precisely as modern” (p. 18, my emphasis). That Tschudi is fully aware of the precariousness of his investigation into the enigmatic nature of Piranesi is evident from this passage: “This book admittedly offers an ambiguous conclusion to the story it tells. Still, in its ambiguity, I hope this monograph may be inscribed into an esteemed genealogy of Piranesi emulations, for nothing can be more noble in this tradition than the ambition to rein in the endless and contain the infinite, only to be deceived by the format” (p. 231). I believe this book is an important addition to the literature on modernism and, of course, a wonderful exposé of Piranesi and his work. Perhaps unintentionally the book is equally important as a case study in postmodern deconstruction, authorial intent, and how the fads and trends of different epochs change dramatically our appreciation and understanding of art. This book requires close reading, keeping the ambiguities and enigmatic nature of the whole enterprise in mind.","PeriodicalId":93330,"journal":{"name":"Leonardo (Oxford, England)","volume":"411 1","pages":"445-446"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79912948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Better Ape: The Evolution of the Moral Mind and How it Made us Human","authors":"Gregory F. Tague","doi":"10.1162/leon_r_02418","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1162/leon_r_02418","url":null,"abstract":": A Better Ape explores the evolution of the moral mind from our ancestors with chimpanzees, through the origins of our genus and our species, to the development of behaviorally modern humans who underwent revolutions in agriculture, urbanization, and industrial technology. The book begins, in Part I, by explaining the biological evolution of sympathy and loyalty in great apes and trust and respect in the earliest humans. These moral emotions are the first element of the moral mind. Part II explains the gene-culture co-evolution of norms, emotions, and reasoning in Homo sapiens. Moral norms of harm, kinship, reciprocity, autonomy, and fairness are the second element of the moral mind. A social capacity for interactive moral reasoning is the third element. Part III of the book explains the cultural co-evolution of social institutions and morality. Family, religious, military, political, and economic institutions expanded small bands into large tribes and created more intense social hierarchies through new moral norms of authority and purity. Finally, Part IV explains the rational and cultural evolution of moral progress and moral regress as human societies experienced gains and losses in inclusivity and equality. Moral progress against racism, homophobia, speciesism, sexism, classism, and global injustice depends on integration of privileged and oppressed people in physical space, social roles, and democratic decision making. The central idea in the book is that all these major evolutionary transitions, from ancestral apes to","PeriodicalId":93330,"journal":{"name":"Leonardo (Oxford, England)","volume":"10080 1","pages":"442-444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73253759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reflects on the intellectual and material conditions of such collaborations, exploring two genealogies for these practices—”sciart” and arts and health—with a focus on two key areas: (1) the need for stakeholders to recognize fine art practice as research and knowledge-production (rather than merely as illustrative, educational, or therapeutic); (2) the challenges and opportunities presented by patient-participant involvement. Finally, it explores critical medical humanities as an emergent framework currently shaping these kinds of collaborations.","PeriodicalId":93330,"journal":{"name":"Leonardo (Oxford, England)","volume":"8 1","pages":"424-429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74501445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Navigating Critical Zones: Indeterminate and Intimate Geographies","authors":"Diana Ayton-Shenker","doi":"10.1162/leon_e_02339","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1162/leon_e_02339","url":null,"abstract":"https://doi.org/10.1162/leon_e_02339 ©2023 ISAST Navigating critical zones is one way to describe our life today. It is also a tribute to the legacy of Peter Weibel (see supplemental material for Jürgen Claus’s artistic tribute), a giant in our field and a force of life in our world. We grieve his death interwoven with gratitude for his life. Peter’s work explored earth as a network of critical zones, experimenting with new modes of coexistence between all forms of life. Navigating critical zones connects digital activism with earthly politics, traversing indeterminate and intimate geographies of personal space and collective conscience. How do humans intersect and connect with nonhuman intelligence? We are increasingly interdependent with nonhuman intelligence that permeates daily life as over 6.6 billion people worldwide, and 97% of Americans, use smartphones [1] today. Artificial intelligence guides GPS maps, navigation, search engines, recommendation algorithms, social media, facial recognition, autocorrect, text editors, e-payments, and more. AI’s pervasive, exponential growth generates countless opportunities for collaboration and reimagination of social systems overdue for an overhaul. It also raises fear, insecurity, anxiety, and unanswered questions. How do we adapt to a future we cannot foresee? Individuals and institutions grapple with how to control, contain, and constrain AI, simultaneously trying to leverage or harness the potential of current creative disruptors like ChatGPT, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and chatSonic. Rather than attempt to outsmart or outpace AI, we need to out-humanize it, by infusing our techno-relationships with our sense of humility, humor, playfulness, curiosity, intuition, empathy, joy, vulnerability, courage, unpredictability, spontaneity, creativity, generosity. This may be a long, incomplete, imperfect list, but it’s a good start. These are core qualities needed for a symbiotic relationship with AI. We don’t need to humanize technology; we need to humanize ourselves in relation to it. Ironically, we may become even more human and more humane by engaging with AI as active partners and co-creators. This issue of Leonardo explores how to navigate the emerging entanglement between human bodies, nonhuman intelligence and lifeforms. Doing so exposes the indeterminacy of AI and the intimacy of personal geographies, social histories, disability and sexuality, the vulnerability of dislocation and abiding connection to place. As a collaborative art-science project, Lovewear embeds haptic feedback into everyday garments for disabled women. TransHuman Saunter, a geolocative, interactive artwork in the Brisbane City Botanical Gardens, offers four artists’ collaborative digital experiments centered around the Indian banyan tree.

In Böks Xenotext project (2002–present), a microbe becomes an archive and writing machine through DNA manipulation. Bolender’s The Unnaming of Aliass (2002–2020) documents her life with the ass Aliass and the unexpected results it yields. Both projects attempt to establish communication with nonhumans, but their approaches have drastically different consequences. Bök ultimately ends up reinscribing well-worn anthropocentric biases. In contrast, Bolender’s capacious version of animal husbandry moves away from machines and mastery over circumstances and animals, following a principle akin to Karen Barad’s “intra-action” to suggest a course correction for bioartists’ work with nonhumans.","PeriodicalId":93330,"journal":{"name":"Leonardo (Oxford, England)","volume":"18 1","pages":"379-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73219134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
