Klappentext

Medium Hot is the essential handbook for our present conjuncture, exploring the limits of art and technology. Hito Steyerl argues that these practices cannot be divorced from economic and political conditions. In an era of supercharged change, she examines the way machine learning infiltrates every aspect of our lives and what that means for the future.
