Friedensreich Hundertwasser's journey in New Zealand, which began in 1973, is a profound exploration of his quest to harmonize art with nature. Settling in the Bay of Islands, he immersed himself in the local culture and landscape, significantly influencing his artistic output. This book delves into his philosophy, architecture, and notable public projects, such as the Koru Flag and Kawakawa Public Toilets. Richly illustrated with his artworks and writings, it celebrates Hundertwasser's legacy and his deep connection to Aotearoa, solidifying his status as a New Zealand icon.

A quarter century of groundbreaking research into the future of technology Founded in 1996, the Ars Electronica Futurelab is a laboratory and atelier for future systems. This volume looks back on 25 years of projects and programming with images, profiles and essays.

Although synthetic fullerenes have only been around for a few years, there are thousands of scientific articles dealing with them. This is the first monograph in the field and thus represents a vital source of information summarizing the most important and fundamental aspects of the organic and organometallic chemistry of the fullerenes.The book is logically arranged so that information is easy to retrieve, and the style lends itself to effortless reading and to learning more about the chemical properties of a family of molecules that constitute new building blocks for novel architectures in the ever-expanding universe of synthetic chemistry.Belongs on the shelves of university libraries as well as those of chemists interested in the art and science of structure and property manipulation by synthesis.

Art, technology, and society have been intricately connected at Ars Electronica for over forty years, evolving from an experiment in communal politics in 1979 in Linz, Austria, into a prominent festival, prize, museum, and laboratory since 1996. This platform has established itself as a leading forum for media art and discussions on technological culture. The anniversary publication, richly illustrated with texts and an extensive project list, reflects on its journey, emphasizing a focus on the future as it unfolds. Since its inception, Ars Electronica has monitored the digital revolution and its diverse impacts, concentrating on the interplay between art, technology, and society. The annual festival, held from September 5-9, 2019, showcases the results of this artistic and scientific research through a five-day program featuring conferences, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. Collaborating with artists and scientists worldwide, the festival consistently highlights a range of provocative futuristic themes, making it a vital event in the exploration of contemporary cultural trends.

In this handbook, the leading experts in the field presents important and fundamental aspects of the organic and organometallic chemistry of fullerenes. Naturally they also cover the applications in material and medicinal science for these fascinating molecules. Completely self-contained, the book is logically arranged such that information is easy to retrieve, and the style lends itself to effortless reading and to learning more about the chemical properties of this family of molecules.A definitive "must" for everyone working in this ever-expanding sphere.

The aesthetically pleasing molecular architectures of fullerenes and nanotubes are appealing not only because of their beauty but also because they are responsible for the many unprecedented chemical and physical properties of this compound class. Although succession of exciting new discoveries continues unabated fullerene research has become a mature science. It is now possible to predict fullerene chemistry, to design new structure variations like open fullerene clusters, heterofullerenes and endohedral fullerenes, and to develop fullerene materials and modified nanotubes with high potential for technological applications. This volume represents the state-of-the-art of fullerene research, focussing on areas showing high potential for future growth and practical applications. The authors are leading scientists whose groups are making major contributions in the field.

Im Oktober 2024 wird das Theater an der Wien nach Sanierung wiedereröffnet. Es erzählt die Geschichte bemerkenswerter Persönlichkeiten und deren Einfluss auf die Bühne, beleuchtet die Uraufführungen klassischer Werke und die Rückkehr zur Oper im 21. Jahrhundert, ergänzt durch reichhaltiges Bildmaterial.
