Description
"Second Nature" brings into a productive, interdisciplinary dialogue scholars working at the intersections of art, science, and technology. Contributions explore how technologies of reproduction alter the meaning of concepts such as origin and originality, and how the borders between "authentic" and "fake," "natural" and "artificial," are under constant negotiation and transformation.
