This introductory survey traces the origins and development of two revolutionary 20th-century art movements: Dada and Surrealism. It explores the full range of artistic production, including film, photography and painting. The art is situated within a context of ideas. Against the background of the slaughter of World War I, the Dadas embarked upon a total reconsideration of nat...(展开全部)

The stunning and hyper-realistic photography presented here is not captured in real time, but through a laborious process of manipulation. Each picture represents an average of fifty hours of meticulous work in which elements are assembled from dozens of images to construct...(展开全部)

DADA是数字建筑设计专业委员会（Digital Architecture Design Association）的简称，它隶属于中国建筑学会建筑师分会，由23位国内从事数字建筑设计的建筑师及学者于2012年10月发起成立。 第二届DADA会议于2015年7月在上海同济大学召开，本书是从DADA2015“数字工厂”系列活动——数字建筑国际学术会议的53篇论文中，精选24篇论文，集结而成的中英文双语论文集。这些论文涉及数字建筑相关的多个领域，包括数字建筑设计、建筑性能模拟与优化，数控加工与建造，互动建筑与互动设计等。这些论文较全面展示了数字技术与建筑设计相结合的最新成果和趋势。希望本书内容能够促进数字建筑领域的学术和实践交流，并引发更多探讨和思考。
