Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Dalí de Púbol, known professionally as Salvador Dalí, was born on 11th May 1904, at 8:45 am GMT, on the first floor of Carrer Monturiol, 20, in the town of Figueres, in the Empordà region, close to the French border in Catalonia, Spain.

When Alice Cooper became the stuff of legend in the early '70s, their shows were monuments of fun and invention. Riding on a string of hits like "I'm 18" and "School's Out," they became America's highest-grossing act, producing four platinum albums and hitting number one on the U.S. and U.K. charts with Billion Dollar Babies in 1973. As teenagers in Phoenix, Dennis Dunaway and lead singer Vince Furnier, who would later change his name to Alice Cooper, formed a hard-knuckles band that played prisons, cowboy bars and teen clubs. Their journey took them from Hollywood to the ferocious Detroit music scene. From struggling for recognition to topping the charts, the Alice Cooper group was entertaining, outrageous, and one-of-a-kind. Dennis Dunaway, the bassist and co-songwriter for the band, tells a story just as over-the-top crazy as their (in)famous shows. Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! is the riveting account of the band's creation in the '60s, strange glory in the '70s, and the legendary characters they met along the way.

Common boundaries between the physical reality and rising digital media technologies are fading. The age of hyper-reality becomes an age of hyper-aesthetics. Immersive media and image technologies – like augmented reality – enable a completely novel form of interaction and corporeal relation to and with the virtual image structures and the different screen technologies. »Augmented Images« contributes to the wide range of the hyper-aesthetic image discourse to connect the concept of dynamic augmented images with the approaches in modern media theory, philosophy, perceptual theory, aesthetics, computer graphics and art theory as well as the complex range of image science. This volume monitors and discusses the relation of images and technological evolution in the context of augmented reality within the perspective of an autonomous image science.

People nowadays often seem to believe that shock rock was invented by Marylin Manson, or maybe Ozzy Osbourne. If only they knew! The first shock rock band ever was actually ALICE COOPER! Vincent Damon Furnier - now officially known amongst us as Alice Cooper - is their front singer, and his horror show on stage was notorious during the 70s. It involved squirming snakes, glaring make-up colours, and a number of unsettling accessories - a guillotine amongst them. Of course, this set-up made for good photographs, and teenie magazines loved to frighten their young readers with them. However, Alice Cooper never made for much of a teen heart-throb. Streaky hair, terrifying style and a decadent image rather appealed to the headbanging audience. Bubi Heilemann, as an excellent photographer always on the lookout for great pictures, took the chance to get Alice Cooper in front of his camera very early on, starting off on a USA tour in 1973. He worked onstage, backstage, in the airplane, and even at the opening of an exhibition in New York, also attended by the artist himself: Salvador Dali! These photographs are unique and very rarely published. The second photo session took place in Germany 1975 - Alice Cooper came to pick up some awards, because the band was really very successful after School's Out turned into an international top hit. Bubi Heilemann photographed the band at his studio, live, and at the hotel. This slim and affordable volume is a valuable document for each and every fan of Alice Cooper, alive and well today, the energy is still there. Seeing the band play live today is an exciting experience, never to be forgotten. Not to forget - this book brings backs memories of the olden days, walking along the school hallways after the bell rang for the last time before the summer holidays, chanting: School's out for summer / School's out forever... ALICE COOPER is a photo collection packed with exclusive and never-before-seen pictures, essential for all fans. This book also features the photographer's memories of working with the band, allowing for fascinating insights into the heart of one of the essential rock bands of the 70s.
