This publication is a collection of ten in-depth dialogues between art philosopher Antoon Van
den Braembussche and Angelo Vermeulen. In these dialogues, the authors explore the
contemporary relationships between art, science and digital culture. Through discussions
about topics such as the malaise of art, violence in media, neoromanticism in computer
games, and the interlacing of biotech and neoliberal capitalism, they develop a remarkably
original viewpoint on contemporary culture. Two dialogues are already available on
AngeloVermeulen.net under a Creative Commons license, and throughout the upcoming
weeks all remaining dialogues will be put online. The book version has a more elaborate
graphic design with illustrations, and contains an extensive index of all discussed subjects,
names and titles.

'Baudelaire in Cyberspace' will be presented in different cities throughout Belgium and the
Netherlands. For an updated list of all presentations please visit AngeloVermeulen.net or join
the Baudelaire in Cyberspace Facebook group.
