Product Description
Modern art, reflecting and defining new intellectual, scientific and technological developments, has radically extended the conventional media of sculpture and painting. Following innovative ideas about representation and the free use of materials in Cubism, Futurism and Surrealism â particularly in the work of Duchamp â artists abandoned strict adherence to traditional hierarchies of media and embraced any means, including technological, which best served their purposes. In the last 50 years especially, ideas about time and duration have reinstated narrative in art, via film-making and video, the theatricality of Happenings, Performance and Installation art, digitally manipulated photography and Virtual Reality. This pioneering book, originally published under the title New Media in Late 20th-Century Art, discusses the most influential artists internationally â from Eadweard Muybridge to Robert Rauschenberg, Bill Viola and Pipilotti Rist â and those seminal works which have radically transformed the map of world art.

For the size of the book it accomplishes alot. It gives a good overview and understanding of the work out there. It is not an everyman's guide to the area however as the language still uses that art world manner. I can say this however, as a media arts student, when grabbing a small volume for travel or to check some info, this is the one I grab as it covers much of the icons of the field.
