Simplicity and compassion is what the world needs again, what we need again. Bring it Back to Simple reflects on my personal thoughts and moments, with poetry, quotes, and art.

Have you wondered what humans or animals would look like as Cyclops? Have you wondered what happens if a cyclop has a poorly eye? Have you ever wondered if little cycloptic creatures live around us? Well wonder no more, this book answers those questions just for you. Because this book shares the work of Professor Simone Klopp and her assistant Dr Von Eyid who run the world's best fictional cosmetic clinic. Together they created and developed their patented 'Cycloped' Eye Reduction Surgery.

Photo-blending art encompasses poetry, but creates emotions beyond words. Explore your imagination by viewing the images, but also by imagining how you would alter them to nourish your perspectives.

I'm not entirely sure if I could explain what this book is Other than that it is a Compilation Of multiple tunes, songs, rhythms, and thoughts inside of my mind. But I have no musical talent, so wanting to keep them as my own, I have put them here into words, rather than butchering them in song. I hope you enjoy it for what it is worth, keeping in mind that traditional thinking about verbal usage may drive one insane, as these are hymns of the mental state. For those willing to go along on the journey I hope it to be entertaining at best, enlightening at worst. And for those who cannot stand to see our language misused in such fashions, I apologize for having wasted your time..

A "continuation" of my other publications: the Composition Strategies, Continua, Dynaxiom, and Exforma, as well a list of human universals on the edges of the pages as a flip-book. It is designed to inspire the reader by opening to a random page and basing the creativity on chance discovery. The book will continue on in future editions, each with a different spine color following "ROYGBIV", the sequence of the light spectrum colors from low to high: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, with perhaps black and white to "bookend" the set. As of this first edition, it is undetermined what format the future editions might include or exclude. The number of pages will remain exactly the same, such that pages in different volumes can coincide in some fashion. For example, pages A50 and B51 could be a poem of 12-16 stanzas that could span the remaining 6-8 volumes, or a series of photographs documenting the evolution of a place chronologically, across all seasons, or portraits of a character in various stages of life, all organized by the Universals at the edges of the pages. Some editions, but not all, will have both a paper and e-book version. For example, one may be only electronic with embedded videos and other natively-digital content.

Texts accompanying 77 works from the humorous and enigmatic Darren BaderThis volume of writings by New York conceptualist Darren Bader (born 1978) features texts for 77 artworks. Writing is at the core of Bader's work: he offers deceptively simple propositions for artworks to be carried out by gallerists, museums and collectors who then exhibit the works. Each time a work is sold, Bader produces a text that explains the parameters of the artwork. The propositions can be extremely precise or abstract; however, these guides are not made available to the public. Bader has also written propositions for impossible artworks, such as a proposal for installing a baby-changing table under Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" at the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. This book foregrounds Bader's writing and provides a key to his humorous and sometimes enigmatic works.

"The Wetland Project is a beautiful, quietly amazing work of micro-post-geographical art that allows us to be wherever we are and somewhere wonderfully natural and real, simultaneously. It’s an experience I wish everyone could have, and I wish there were more experiences like it."—William GibsonThe Wetland Project book is the print component of a multidisciplinary and multimedia project centred on the sounds emanating from the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh, in unceded W̱SÁNEĆ territory (Saturna Island, British Columbia). The book is edited by artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings, who have been inspired by the sonic phenomena produced by this small patch of Earth to create a 24-hour Slow Radio Broadcast, based on field recordings from the marsh, that radio stations across North America and Europe have aired on Earth Day since 2017; a musical arrangement titled Wetland Senario, co-composed with Stephen Morris and performed by vocal ensemble musica intima; and a new media installation that algorithmically transforms sound frequencies from the marsh recordings into pure colour fields in flux.Contributors to the book include novelist William Gibson, MP and former Green Party leader Elizabeth May, poet and spoken-word performer Susan McMaster, musicologist Stephen Morris, writer Alex Muir, poet and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nation member Philip Kevin Paul, Stó:lō artist, curator, and scholar Dylan Robinson, sound artist and World Soundscape Project member Hildegaard Westerkamp, and curator, writer, and PhD student Laurie White. The algorithmic flow of colour fields throughout the publication combined with photos of the project and an audio interface accessed using smartphones and tablet devices will give the book a colourful, music box-like quality.Awarded first prize in the pictorial category at the 2022 Alcuin Awards for Excellence in Book Design.

Using conceptual methods popularized in music composition by John Cage, cartoonist/musician Todd Webb creates the experimental comic strip series Chance Operations, one of the first truly "indeterminate" comics. Chance Operations is an exercise in allowing formal constraints to decide the content and design of a sequential artwork - while Webb draws the comics, he does not "write" them, so to speak, instead using coin tossing and dice to determine the images and texts which make up the work. Experimental comics artist Warren Craghead describes Webb's book as "Conceptually focused and stunningly drawn, Chance Operations is a radical and beautiful experiment you can't stop looking at. After reading one sees connections, narratives and beauty everywhere - this work helps me see the world as comics and makes me want to draw." A must-have for any lover of conceptual art, poetry, or experimental comics.

Eine Halle der Kunst mitten in der Natur, getragen von 121 individuell gestalteten Säulen, geschaffen von renommierten Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus aller Welt: Diese Idee und ihre Verwirklichung verfolgt Bernd Zimmer seit über 30 Jahren. Reich bebildert dokumentiert der Band die Entstehung und zeigt alle Künstlersäulen in detailreichen Einzelaufnahmen.Bereits 1990 auf einer Reise durch Südindien und inspiriert durch die Säulenvorhallen der hinduistischen Tempel kam dem Maler Bernd Zimmer die Idee zu dem Vorhaben, das nun als STOA169 und permanente Kunstinstallation in Polling, Bayern realisiert ist. Kunstschaffende aller Kontinente wurden eingeladen, Pfeiler zu gestalten, die zusammen ein Dach tragen. Gemeinsam bilden die Säulen ein Kunst-Universum, welches für Solidarität, Völkerverständigung und Achtung der Natur steht.
