"Leaping gracefully from Coleridge to Kubrick, from the Bible to Baudrillard, J.F. Martel offers us a lovely and powerful reminder that the greatest art presents the world through mystery rather than manipulation. Arguing that art's prophetic promise comes from its capacity to rupture the workaday world of means and ends, Martel calls for a visionary return to the imaginal rifts of a novelty beyond artifice."-- Erik Davis, author of TechGnosis

Synopsis
In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J.F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive m media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence-forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening rifts onto the sublime and the weird, and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world. Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world. From the Introduction by Donna Tartt, "This graceful and incisive work of philosophy, Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, illumines the shock of the new via the shock of the old. Not only does it address, presciently, numerous alarms and discomforts of the onslaught of artificial intelligence, but it also successfully breaks down a number of destructive modern misunderstandings about art. With precision and clarity, employing sources from psychology to anthropology, from Heidegger to Stanley Kubrick, from Beethoven to Deleuze to William S. Burroughs all the way back to cave art of the Paleolithic, Martel reminds us what most artists, if they are honest with themselves, already know: that art is not decodable, not exhaustible, not neatly pressed into the service of morals or ideology of any kind.", A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion, and spectacle - featuring an introduction from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Donna Tartt In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice , J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence--forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening "rifts" onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world. Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.
