Diabolical togetherness beyond contemporary art.

"Supercommunity" is an ideal read for artists, theorists and anyone interested in understanding the negative collective of contemporary life. It comprises of essays, poems, short stories and plays that articulate the subject, offering insight into globalization, art, and the internet. The authors' ability to trace these elements even as they shed their once apparent utopian guises proves this book is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone wanting to understand the current state of the world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"I am the supercommunity, and you are only starting to recognize me. I grew out of something that used to be humanity. Some have compared me to angry crowds in public squares; others compare me to wind and atmosphere, or to software."

Invited to exhibit at the 56th Venice Biennale, e-flux journal produced a single issue over a four-month span, publishing an article a day both online and on-site at Venice.

In essays, poems, short stories, and plays, artists and theorists trace the negative collective that is the subject of contemporary life, in which art, the internet, and globalization have shed their utopian guises but persist as naked power, in the face of apocalyptic ecological disaster and against the claims of the social commons.

"I convert care to cruelty, and cruelty back to care. I convert political desires to economic flows and data, and then I convert them back again. I convert revolutions to revelations. I don't want security, I want to leave, and then disperse myself everywhere and all the time."
