Tra il 1901 e il 1902 Alfred Jarry pubblica diversi articoli sulla Revue Blanche; ispirati per lo piugrave; a fatti di cronaca del suo tempo. Una parte di quegli articoli; quelli qui raccolti; erano stati scelti da Jarry stesso per costituire un libro da lui mai realizzato e avente il medesimo titolo che qui si propone. Lrsquo;lntento di Jarry era di mostrare come la Patafisica; da lui definita ldquo;scienza delle soluzioni immaginarierdquo;; fosse in grado di mettere in luce ciograve; che per una qualche strana abitudine;in effetti non lo sia

Whether yoursquo;re an Artist; Scientist; Researcher; or Engineer yoursquo;ll find something of interest in this bookBy scott janousekAs a professional in the Additive Manufacturing space; I was pleased and excited to hear that the MIT Self-Assembly lab had compiled a physical book containing some of their most notable experiments over the last few years.The book is composed of primarily two sections. The first section covers basic concepts of self-assembly and programmable matter. The second covers experiments conducted by the MIT group in conjunction with other organizations including academic institutions; corporations; RD facilities; and other entities. The global theme of the book probes questions about the role of design in real-world research and engineering settings. This is done through the use of intermixed interviews from leading pioneers in fabrication; materials; architecture; design and research sectors. The format is heavy on photos of projects and light on the actual technical implementation side; which makes it a pleasure to read. Experiments are described on a high level and shown through well documented and professional photos.Overall; this book is a great compilation of some of the earliest experiments in this new field of programmable matter through various techniques like self-assembly and gives insight into what the media has lumped into the category of ldquo;4D Printingrdquo;. Whether yoursquo;re an Artist; Scientist; Researcher; or Engineer yoursquo;ll find something of interest in this book.
