Seeing | Making > Room for Thought illuminates the space between word and image, politics and aesthetics, seeing and making, in a visual montage of new and unforeseen constellations. Realized through an intergenerational collaboration of three cultural producers committed to making theory visible, a transformative anthology of critical essays by Susan Buck-Morss anchors this kaleidoscopic project. Images and ideas sync with Buck-Morss' perceptive texts on visual culture, history, politics, and aesthetics, fusing criticism with visual play and linking collective imagination and social action.
The book's unfolding architecture opens 12 analogical spaces for thinking by connection, inviting readers to investigate leaping viewpoints and to construct networks of expanded thought, Driven by methods of montage and ways of seeing put forth by visual thinkers like Walter Benjamin and John Berger, this book assembles its collected, colliding material into new relation. What results is a (typo-) graphic articulation that thinks seriously about the stakes of ideation and reorients the space of the book in the service of a theory and philosophy that speaks the language of our image-based information age.
