The ^AOxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Western Art
The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Western Art is the first book to examine, under one umbrella, different kinds of analogies, mutual influences, integrations and collaborations of audio and visual in different art forms: painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, performance art, animation, film, video art, visual music, multimedia, experimental music, sound art, opera, theatre and dance. Sitting at the cutting edue of the field of music and visual arts, the book offers a unique, at times controversial view of this rapidly evolving area of study.
Aesthetics of Interaction in Digital Art
An art-historical perspective on interactive media art that provides theoretical and methodological tools for understanding and analyzing digital art. Since the 1960s, artworks that involve the participation of the spectator have received extensive scholarly attention. Yet interactive artworks using digital media still present a challenge for academic art history. In this book, Katja Kwastek argues that the particular aesthetic experience enabled by these new media works can open up new perspectives for our understanding of art and media alike. Kwastek, herself an art historian, offers a set of theoretical and methodological tools that are suitable for understanding and analyzing not only ne...
Audiovisual Disruption
Post-digital art suggests a form of embodiment of digital technologies that unfolds in physical space through hands-on material approaches, and even the repurposing of older analogue media. Pedro Ferreira examines these aesthetics in contemporary audiovisual arts as reactions to our post-digital condition. He traces four post-digital territories by looking on the digital infrastructure, within the effects of the post-digital condition, in-between digital and non-digital media as media hybrids, and off digital media in a turn to analogue media. Concluding with a series of artworks, this study exposes the material, sociocultural and environmental consequences of digital technologies in our post-digital age.
Video Theories
Breaking new ground as the first transdisciplinary reader in this field, Video Theories is a resource that will form the basis for further research and teaching. While theories of video have not yet formed an academic discipline comparable to the more canonized theories of photography, film, and television, the reader offers a major step toward bridging this “video gap” in media theory, which is remarkable considering today's omnipresence of the medium through online video portals and social media. Consisting of a selection of eighty-three annotated source texts and twelve chapter introductions written by the editors, this book considers fifty years of scholarly and artistic reflections on the topic, representing an intergenerational and international set of voices. This transdisciplinary reader offers a conceptual framework for diverging and contradictory viewpoints, following the continuous transformations of what video was, is, and will be.
Ars Electronica 2006
Isn't it strange that we are constantly developing new technologies to simplify our lives and work, but in the end we are left with the impression that everything's just become a lot more complicated? Simplicity-more than just the pipe dream of a society dominated by technical revolutions, global networks and inundations of information. No other concept of late has enjoyed such widespread popularity and so accurately expressed the needs of our times. Just how are we to cope with the increasing degree of complexity in the reality we inhabit? How can we tap and utilize the potential of global communication in an efficient and responsible way? How can we develop systems, devices and programs that are responsive to our strengths and intuitive capabilities? The Ars Electronica 2006 catalog brings together the theoretical reflections of participating artists and elaborations on projects presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2006, thus providing a dynamic overview of the entire range of facets and levels of significance of the festival theme Simplicity-the art of complexity. Simplicity is not the opposite of complexity-it is its complementary key. Book jacket.

Ausstellung u.d.T.: Nam June Paik : music for all senses
In 1963, with his first individual show Exposition of Music. Electronic Television at the legendary Galerie Parnass in Wuppertal, Germany, the young Nam June Paik literally created a new genre of exhibition. The visitors, who were greeted in front of the entrance with a freshly slaughtered ox head, were not only confronted with the newness of the electronic image, but also found themselves integrated into a Dadaist scenario staged with prepared pianos, mechanical sound objects along with record players and audio tape installations. Together with documents, photographs and the works of Paik, this catalogue recreates scenes from the original show, letting the works again come to life in their original context. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Nam June Paik: Music for All Senses at Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, February ndash; May 2009. English and German text.
