Review
The Theory Zero series offers startling insights into the ground zeros for global culture, the strange conditions facing theory and utopia for the postmillennial world. -- Carine Krecke, Universite de Provence, France, and, Elisabeth Krecke, Universite de Paul Cezanne
Deploying a mix of existential and utopian philosophy to decode many strange cultural parallels, the Theory Zero series offers a visually striking critique that will inspire artists and infuriate intellectuals from across the spectrum. -- Chris Matthew Sciabarra, New York University
By mixing Sartre and Baudrillard with everyday art and architecture, Barry Vacker creates a canvas for illuminating the 'zero' conditions for theory, the vanishing points for the conventional ways of seeing postmillennial culture. -- Jarice Hansen, The University of Massachusetts-Amherst --Back Cover
Product Description
Which is the inconvenient truth — global warming or our cosmic destiny?
Early in the third millennium, Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, raised awareness of global warming via space age utopianism that mapped the fate of civilization upon the starry skies. From Plato and Ptolemy, Kant and Newton, to Kubrick and Serling, there has been profound human desire to situate human destiny amidst the starry skies. But just what is our cosmic fate — spaceship earth or planet of apes, space odyssey or cyberspace, no exit or twilight zone — in a universe of the Big Bang, with the starry skies moving away?
