DATA Browser

Editors Geoff Cox and Joasia Krysa

The DATA browser book series explores new thinking and practice at the intersection of contemporary art, digital culture, and politics. The series takes theory or criticism not as a fixed set of tools or practices, but rather as an evolving chain of ideas that recognise the conditions of their own making. In this way, the term “browser” useful in pointing to the framing device through which data is delivered over information networks and processed by algorithms. Whereas a conventional understanding of browsing suggests surface readings, and cursory engagement with the material, the series celebrates the potential of browsing for dynamic interpretation of existing material and ideas into new configurations of collective meaning.

Each book includes contributions from established and emerging academics in conventional written forms as well as visual and/or experimental modes. In keeping with the working principles of OHP, the series provides a platform to address the perceived crisis of in scholarly publishing in the arts and humanities, and promotes radical open access, facilitates a diversity of critical approaches and voices, and self-reflection on the process of production. Books are developed through a peer-review process, are available for free (PDF download) and for sale in print (POD) or ebook (ePUB). For more information see www.data-browser.net.

Available for purchase worldwide through most online bookstores.
