Praised for her earthy, honestly erotic, soulful and very real lyrics, Jill Scott explores all the flavors of life, love, and self. Of her music, Jill "It's music. It's experiences. It's vulnerability. It's honesty. It's being a woman---an African American woman. Being a daughter, a sister, a grandchild and a Godmother. It's life. It's deeper than what I know. It's bigger than what I can see. I guess it's a dive into the human spirit." And the same will come forth in this never- before-seen collection of her poetry.
Since 1975, the experimental work of Australian-born artist Jill Scott has evolved from making surveillance-performance events, to video art, to new computer art and interactive cinema. "Coded Characters" surveys her work, noting a persistent questioning of the role of the audience and an interest in the human body, which for Scott becomes both an interface and a player in the evolving zones of tech space and physical reality.
This book verifies the need for the arts and the sciences to work together in order to develop more creative and conceptual approaches to innovation and presentation. By blending ethnographical case studies, scientific viewpoints and critical essays, the focus of this research inquiry is the lab context. For scientists, the lab context is one of the most important educational experiences. For contemporary artists, laboratories are inspiring spaces to investigate, share know-how transfer and search for new collaboration potentials. The nine labs represented in this book are from the natural, computing and engineering sciences. An enclosed comprehensive DVD documents the results, the problems and serves as a guideline for the future of true Art/Sci experiments.
Electra's story is a gripping tale of murder, revenge, and violence. In the myth of Atreus, Agamemnon returns from battle only to be murdered in his bath by his wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. Electra, choosing anger over sorrow, is determined to make her mother pay. With her brother's help, she orchestrates a brutal matricide, restoring her father's good name. Amid this turmoil, Electra, Agamemnon's daughter, endures the humiliation of being treated as a slave and labeled a madwoman. While many are familiar with Oedipus and his mother, Jill Scott shifts focus to the countermyth of Agamemnon and Electra, arguing for its significance in Western mythology. Through Freudian and feminist psychoanalysis, she examines the Electra myth's representations in twentieth-century literature and culture. Scott highlights a "narrative revolt" against Oedipus as the dominant archetype. By situating the Electra myth within psychoanalysis, medicine, opera, and dance, she explores the heroine's role at the intersections of history, femininity, eros, thanatos, hysteria, and melancholia. Analyzing adaptations by H.D., Hofmannsthal and Strauss, Musil, and Plath, Scott reveals key moments in the modern reception of the Electra myth.

Turbulence and Reconstruction is an anthology of viewpoints on society from the arts and the sciences. The authors believe that the arts and the sciences are effective spaces to encourage us to think differently about our outdated concepts of representation and categorization and reconstruct new potentials about how the designs of the future might benefit our environment and the survival of our bodies. Essential to all writers is the need to drop our old disciplinary boundaries to question our interdependent relationship to technology and to reality. Turbulence and reconstruction are processes that not only affect our representation and categorization, urban nature and energy consumption but also our relation to media and technology – the digital ideologies of interaction and substitution.
Neuromedia is an innovative examination of shared territories in neurobiological anatomy, physiology and media art. It reveals how scientists investigate perception and behaviour at the molecular, cellular and systems level. It demonstrates how interpretative forms of media art can help to demystify these complexities for diverse audiences. Under the reflective headings of inspiration, construction, challenges and reactions, it offers deep insights into the processes of art and science production. Assisted by essays from a museum director and an art historian, Neuromedia provides the background for readers about an exhibition of the same name at KULTURAMA in Zurich (2012), and suggests an alternative approach to scientific communication. Authors: Robert Atkins, Oliver Biehlmaier, Mitchel Paul Levesque, Stephan Neuhauss, Rolf Pfeifer, Claudia Rütsche, Jill Scott and Esther Stoeckli
