Recognisably and fearlessly designed by Metahaven and densely illustrated, this uniquely original and experimental publication offers a fresh perspective on Metahaven´s exceptional and versatile practice by offering reflections on how to understand the collective's work within a broader context, as well as by zooming in on their recent shift to moving image work. It will offer as-yet unpublished reflections on their practice by renowned and compelling voices, thinking through the various ways in which their sprawling body of work is embedded in the socio-political challenges of today, as well as in visual culture and art history.

Referencing Psychological Operations, a political strategy aiming to influence people’s emotions, motivations, and thoughts, PSYOP: an Anthology brings together contributions by many of today’s leading practitioners in the fields of contemporary art, music, fashion, film, technology, and poetry. Through the book’s texts, design, images, and scripts, PSYOP is subtly positioned as one of society’s greatest challenges today, its various faces both vigorously studied and delicately appropriated in Metahaven’s arguably prophetic practice.

With contributions by: Karen Archey, Richard Birkett, Benjamin H. Bratton, Kate Cooper, Laura Cugusi, Mathew Dryhurst, Anastasiia Fedorova, Maryam Monalisa Gharavi, Bart van der Heide, Holly Herndon, Lil Internet, Stefan Kalmár, Maria Lind, Suhail Malik, M.E.S.H., Metahaven, Jasmina Metwaly, Malka Older, Eugene Ostashevsky, Philip Rizk, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Brian Kuan Wood, Yulia Yefimtchuk, Juha van ’t Zelfde.
