Electrographic Architecture

New York Color, Las Vegas Light, and America's White Imaginary

Omschrijving

If you think that ubiquitous bright urban light is a story solely of technological achievement, then you should read this book. If you want to understand how the American night in particular, mantled in effervescent color, nonetheless remains a narrative of whiteness naturalized, then you must read this book.--Sandy Isenstadt, author of Electric Light: An Architectural History In this challenging book, Carolyn Kane traces a line from urban electrification to AI spectacle to argue that whiteness is hardly a neutral color but rather expresses the whitewashing, sanitization, and surveillance of a new spatial order.--David E. Nye, author of American Illuminations: Urban Lighting, 1800-1920
