- Book Synopsis
- Discovering the potential of video and film art An informative, inspiring, richly illustrated book on contemporary moving-image art. This book sets out to use the latest technologies to short-circuit the universally understandable language of the mass media and to make art once again a critical mirror of its time. Around sixty artists from more than twenty countries are presented in eight chapters, that address social, political, and scientific themes (racism, climate change, capitalism, eccentricity, sex, zeitgeist, and fashionable and frightening technologies) in a way that is playful and innovative.
