Summary

Persian Arts explores the significant artistic contributions of Persia and their lasting influence on Middle Eastern culture. The book focuses on Persian literature, calligraphy, and architecture, revealing how these art forms fostered a shared cultural identity and facilitated intellectual exchange. For instance, Persian literature, with its epic poetry and mystical verse, shaped regional storytelling traditions. Similarly, Persian calligraphy became a revered art form, disseminating knowledge and culture through manuscript illumination and architectural decoration. The book contextualizes these artistic achievements within Iranian history, from the Achaemenid Empire onward, detailing the social, political, and religious factors that shaped artistic production. Persian Arts argues that Persian artistic endeavors were powerful tools for cultural cohesion. Persian architecture, known for its arches, domes, and intricate tilework, significantly impacted mosque design and public spaces across the Middle East. The book progresses by first introducing core concepts, then exploring literature, calligraphy, and architecture in separate sections, culminating in an analysis of how these elements shaped Middle Eastern culture.

    The Uncanny Muse explores the history of automation in the arts and delves into one of the most momentous and controversial aspects of AI: artificial creativity. The adoption of technology and machinery has long transformed the world, but as the potential for artificial intelligence expands, David Hajdu examines the new, increasingly urgent questions about technology's role in culture. 
 
 
 
Hajdu traces the fascinating, varied ways in which inventors and artists have sought to emulate mental processes and mechanize creative production. For decades, machines and artists have engaged in expressing the human condition—along with the condition of living with machines—through player pianos, broadcasting technology, electric organs, digital movie effects, synthesizers, and motion capture. By communicating and informing human knowledge, the machines have exerted considerable influence on the history of art—and often more influence than humans have been willing to recognize. As Hajdu proclaims: "before machine learning, there was machine teaching." With thoughtful and surprising turns from Berry Gordy and George Harrison to Andy Warhol and Stevie Wonder, David Hajdu takes a novel and contrarian approach: he sees how machines through the ages have enabled creativity, not stifled it—and The Uncanny Muse sees no reason why this shouldn't be the case with AI today.

    Britney Spears barely survived 2007. She divorced her husband, lost custody of her kids, went to rehab, shaved her head and assaulted a paparazzo. In the midst of her public breakdown, she managed to record an album, Blackout. Critics thought it spelled the end for Britney Spears’ career.But Blackout turned out to be one of the most influential albums of the aughts. It not only brought glitchy digital noise and dubstep into the Top 40, but also transformed Britney into a new kind of pop star, one who shrugged off mainstream ubiquity for the devotion of smaller groups of fans who worshipped her idiosyncratic sound.This book returns to the grimy clubs and paparazzi hangouts of LA in the 2000s as well as the blogs and forums of the early internet to show how Blackout was a crucial hinge between twentieth and twenty-first-century pop.
