book
The publication Opera publica is an avantgarde book-project, that combines interdisciplinary works of 40 contemporary artists with texts of several authors: A mixture of experimental cultural science, philosophy and “art poetique” give rise to a book-shaped “Opera publica” with work-images and exhibition-photos. Margit Nobis and Clemens Mock brought the most diverse formats of art within an enacted work-tableau together. Onlinevideoart, installation, photography, internet- and social media-art, digital objets trouvés, psychomachines and digital painting emerge as a “heterogeneous synthesis of art”.
