Hi Helen,
Thank you,
When I was in hospital for over two weeks, depressed because bogged
down with what was yet another symptom caused by the cancer treatment,
getting an early copy of the book pulled my through the bleakness of
it all and cheered me up. In fact, I read it twice. Please get
yourself a copy if you can, because you'll enjoy it's dedication to
art and life and attention to critical contexts.
Wishing you well
Marc

Frankenstein Reanimated: Creation & Technology in the 21st Century.
Marc Garrett, Yiannis Colakides (Eds.)
Publisher: Torque Editions
Contributors: Alexia Achilleos, Zach Blas, Frances A. Chiu, Ami
Clarke, Régine Debatty, Mary Flanagan, Carla Gannis, Lynn Hershman
Leeson, Srecko Horvat, Salvatore Iaconesi, Olga Kopenkina, Marinos
Koutsomichalis, Shu Lea Cheang, Gretta Louw, Joana Moll, Laura Netz,

Frankenstein Reanimated is a book for our strange times. Bang-up to
date it includes essays and artworks that engage with the Covid-19
pandemic, through to weird new imaginings of human-machine hybrids.
A striking cover with flaps displays a triptych by artist Carla
Gannis, a bespoke narrow format, and over 100 illustrations inside
make this an attractive book for a wide range of audiences. The book
includes full-colour illustrations and is designed by Mark Simmonds,
who has designed previous Torque Editions publications and books for
Tate Liverpool and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Mary Shelley’s classic gothic horror and science fiction novel
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus has inspired millions since
it was published in 1818. Today, we are witness to many different
horrors and phantoms of our own creation. Chronic wealth and health
inequalities, climate change, democratic collapse, and the spectre
of the nuclear apocalypse are among the diffuse, monstrous products
of our “advanced” technological moment. Frankenstein Reanimated
presents a dynamic collection of artworks, essays, and
conversations, addressing surveillance, biohacking, viruses,
colonialism, digital culture, and more. It retraces and
contextualises three international art exhibitions exploring themes
within Frankenstein, and speculates on what Mary Shelley would think
about the world today. Collectively, the book offers a lens through
which to look at our current situation, and how art practices shape,
and are shaped by, contemporary society.
Endorsements:
“This collection shines a light on artists as critically engaged
citizens providing a kaleidoscopic view of our unevenly distributed
future. These are the Frankensteins we need!” — Felix Stalder,
Zurich, University of the Arts.
“Frankenstein Reanimated is an important record of some incredible
artists working today, who both dismantle and rebuild our
contemporary technological systems, profoundly reimagining
everything from facial recognition to AI, 3D printing to virtual
gaming environments.” — Sarah Cook, University of Glasgow.
The book will be launched at events, book outlets, art spaces and
galleries in Germany, Spain, Cyprus, Switzerland and the UK, and
other places still are to be confirmed.
