Avant-Garde and Psychotechnics Science, Art and Technology in the Early Soviet Union

Much has been written on the relations between the arts and sciences. Margarete Vöhringer's ambitious book goes further and explores ways, at a particular time and place, in which there were not separable 'related' activities but a common experimental practice with material things, in which all was 'art'. The purpose is not to dissolve differences but to specify, in historical detail, the sharing and modification of material practices and instrumentation as they carry from one cultural setting to another.
