Summary

This edited volume considers the ways in which multiple stages, phases, or periods in an artistic or design process have served to arrive at the final artifact, with a focus on the meaning and use of the iteration.

Additional text

"The book posits iteration as a motor for artistic creativity and imagination. Essays covering various media make us see works of art in constant motion, repeating, and reproducing existing forms and re-envisioning new ones in their wake. An essential bookfor designers, design educators, and design historians – one that inspires to envision art as part of trans-medial flows and larger historical processes. Inspiring!"
