The interface has moved from office into culture, with devices, apps, the cloud, and data streams as new cultural platforms. In \u003ci\u003eThe Metainterface\u003c\/i\u003e, Christian Ulrik Andersen and S ren Bro Pold examine the relationships between art and interfaces, tracing the interface's disruption of everyday cultural practices. They present a new interface paradigm of cloud services, smartphones, and data capture, and examine how particular art forms--including net art, software art, and electronic literature--seek to reflect and explore this paradigm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndersen and Pold argue that despite attempts to make the interface disappear into smooth access and smart interaction, it gradually resurfaces; there is a metainterface to the displaced interface. Art can help us see this; the interface can be an important outlet for aesthetic critique. Andersen and Pold describe the \"semantic capitalism\" of a metainterface industry that captures user behavior; the metainterface industry's disruption of everyday urban life, changing how the city is read, inhabited, and organized; the ways that the material displacement of the cloud affects the experience of the interface; and the potential of designing with an awareness of the language and grammar of interfaces.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Ulrik Andersen is Associate Professor in Digital Design at Aarhus University and works with aesthetics, software, and interface criticism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSen Bro Pold is Associate Professor in Digital Design at Aarhus University and works with interface criticism, literature, and aesthetics.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52440986583347,"sku":"9780262549677","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/GA1Y0ayODe9780262549677.webp?v=1758876819","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-metainterface-the-art-of-platforms-cities-and-clouds-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
