Claire From Yacht Collaborates On Book About Art, Science, & Technology

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) New Art/Science Affinities is a new book exploring the intersection between art, science, and technology. It was authored and designed collaboratively by YACHT lead singer Claire L. Evans, curator Andrea Grover, art critic Régine Debatty (of we-make-money-not-art), architect Pablo Garcia, and design firm Thumb Projects at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie-Mellon University.
 
NA/SA was written and designed in one week, using a collaborative authoring process known as a "book sprint." It's a rich snapshot of the moment, documenting a culture of cross-disciplinary art-science tinkering that is only just emerging. The book includes meditations, interviews, diagrams, letters and manifestos on maker culture, hacking, artist research, distributed creativity, technological and speculative design. Sixty international artists and art collaborativesare featured, including Agnes Meyer-Brandis, Atelier Van Lieshout, Brandon Ballengée, Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.), Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, The Institute for Figuring, Aaron Koblin, Machine Project, Openframeworks, C.E.B. Reas, Philip Ross, Tomás Saraceno, SymbioticA, Jer Thorp, The Graffiti Research Lab, and Marius Watz.

In addition to writing, recording, and performing with YACHT, Claire L. Evans is a freelance science journalist and science fiction critic. She blogs regularly at Universe, a blog about science and culture on National Geographic's ScienceBlogs network, and has worked with SEED Magazine, the World Science Festival, the Sundance Channel, and the Rubin Museum of Art (among many others) to create original, experimental content that examines how science helps us understand our place in the universe.
