This publication aims
at discussing different aspects of “econociety,” as Gerald Nestler
calls it—a more and more global economy that is shaping our world
today, particularly with respect to the roles and significance of the
individual and of societies. Methods from art as well as the sciences
are applied and brought together to analyse, debate, and elaborate on
the topics of the individual, society, economy, technology, art, and some
of their respective relations.
The publication is a collection of the artworks, projects and texts by
Gerald Nestler from 1999–2007 as well as a reader: the essays do
not accompany the artworks and projects as such; they independently deal
with and contextualize the econociety and its impact on people and societies
as a field of art, research, and debate.
