Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRACING INVISIBLE LINES is a critical autoethnographic text built around Gregory Ulmer’s concept of the “Mystory.” Dedicated to the enhancement of imagination and innovation in a digital-media saturated society, Ulmer’s Mystory is a creative research method that draws narratives from three domains of discourse (personal, professional, popular). Analysing these domains means generating fresh insight into the deep-seated emblems that drive the creative disposition, or “invariant principle,” of the practice-led researcher. Here, the mystoriographical approach has mobilized an exploration of the interrelations between self and society, between memory and imagination, as well as between industry-driven design-arts education and experimental sound-art practice (prioritizing the sonic, the perambulatory, careering). As a result, the Mystory fosters critical awareness of the socio-cultural instruments of creative inspiration and perspiration. Reflexive in intent and experimental in approach, David Prescott-Steed’s hybrid writing style moves freely between art historical, biographical and autobiographical, academic and speculative moods. This book’s emphasis on an electronic, investigative sound-based practice finds it treading new ground between the sonic arts and the field of electracy; through its addition of sound and music to the genre, this book extends the scope of studies into Ulmer’s work beyond English literature and the ocularcentric arts, offering a new handbook for sonic conceptual art practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City of Lights, as seen by one of its greatest citizens and admirers Paris has been inspiring writers for centuries. Its neighborhoods and people make for a never-ending flow of potential stories. Mavis Gallant, Canadian by birth but Parisian since the 1950s, has created an incredibly loving and accomplished tribute to her adoptive home. In this collection, Gallant illustrates the surprising sense of interconnectedness that comes from living in a big city, as characters from one story drift into another, disappearing only to pop up again much later. The book’s longest work depicts a wily art dealer looking to revive his business by “discovering” an obscure painter, despite the fact that the artist is both Canadian and no longer living. Other tales depict the experiences of the Pugh family, as its American relatives attempt to connect with their French roots. Overhead in a Balloon weaves together the threads and experiences of a multitude of Parisians, each story suffused with Gallant’s feel for detail and atmosphere.

Book excerpt: In the heart of modern-day London, where the prestigious art world intersects with the city's shadowy underworld, renowned detective Eleanor "Ellie" Sinclair and her partner, Inspector Daniel "Danny" Morgan, find themselves drawn into a tangled web of mystery and obsession. A series of daring art thefts have left the city's elite collectors reeling, and the crimes are so meticulously executed that they seem to defy all logic. As Ellie and Danny delve deeper into the investigation, a pattern emerges – the stolen masterpieces are all connected to Julian Marlowe, a enigmatic artist from the early 20th century whose works have been lost to time for decades. Whispers abound that these pilfered paintings hold the key to locating Marlowe's greatest and most infamous creation, the cursed masterpiece known as "The Shadow in the Frame." This haunting work of art was said to drive its viewers to the brink of madness before vanishing into thin air, much like its creator, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances long ago. Enter Sebastian Grey, a charming and elusive art thief whose very existence seems to taunt Ellie and Danny at every turn. But Sebastian is no ordinary criminal – he is an aficionado with a profound knowledge of art history and an insatiable hunger for the thrill of the chase. His daring heists are not motivated by greed or fame, but by a personal mission to uncover the truth about Marlowe and his final, enigmatic work. As the detectives pursue Sebastian through a labyrinth of clues hidden within the stolen paintings, they find themselves navigating the treacherous waters of the art world, where corrupt dealers, obsessive collectors, and deadly rivals lurk in every shadow. The lines between hunter and prey blur, and Sebastian becomes an unlikely ally as they confront a far more formidable foe – a powerful secret society determined to keep Marlowe's final work, and its dark secrets, buried forever.
