Evocative essays on spatial dynamics and consciousness.
"Slow Spatial Reader" seems to challenge the ordinary pace at which we consume information and understand space. If you're intrigued by the relationship between environment, body, and thought, and you're up for a deep dive into complex ideas about spatial awareness told through a tapestry of diverse perspectives, this book could expand your perceptions. It's for those who appreciate contemplative reading and are willing to engage with radical concepts at a reflective speed.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description
How to dissent from enforced essays from artists, theorists and more. The essays in this volume chronicle projects and ideas that analyze the nuances of spatial reaching into the cracks of the body, probing the fuzzy borders of atmospheres, extending out across both geographical and epistemological coordinates. Like its predecessor, Slow Reader, this new publication is intended to inspire both a different velocity of engaging the world and critical shifts in consciousness that only slow thinking and practice can provoke. Contributors include: Lara Almarcegui, Marijke Annema, Martina Buzzi, Nicolas Buzzi, Sol Camacho, Cave_bureau (Kabage Karanja and Stella Mutegi), Renske Maria van Dam, Chiara Dorbolò, Cocky Eek, Anna Maria Fink, David Habets, Ian Hanesworth, Maria Hassabi, Beate Hølmebakk, Saba Innab, K?
