Enfoldment and Infinity: An Islamic Genealogy of New Media Art (Leonardo Book Series) ReviewI have just finished reading Laura Mark's new book--Enfoldment and Infinity--comparing Islamic art and contemporary media art. Laura is fascinated with the fractal geometry and the way that art (and life) unfolds as one examines on overall picture at closer and closer levels, unfolding the art to reveal hidden mysteries and connections to life forces and the divine. The book is lyrical and a delight to read, drawing parallels between Islamic art and new media art that are poetic and illuminating. Not having any background with philosophy, theology, art history, Islamic culture or new media art forms, beyond having a modicum of familiarity with current cultural icons such as "The Matrix" movie trilogy, the video games "Spore," genetic algorithms, and having bludgeoned my way through the first half of the Quran--it is NOT a light read. Laura assumes considerable knowledge of art history, philosophy and Islamic arts. However, in spite of being drenched in ignorance, I found the book fascinating and I will never look at Islamic or new media art in the same way again. Anyone with an interest in art theory, fractal geometries, algorithmic art forms, Islamic culture, and/or philosophy and who is willing to keep THINKING throughout the chapters will enjoy this work.Enfoldment and Infinity: An Islamic Genealogy of New Media Art (Leonardo Book Series) Overview
