AUSTRALIA; AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR THE MOVING IMAGE [ACMI]; AESTHETICS; TECHNOLOGY AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS Summary: Interzone is specifically interested in arts practices in which the computer is the predominant medium, integrating and synthesising a range of diverse media. Its chronology is narrow and deals with works produced from the early 1990s to the present. Media arts have come to be regarded as the signature form of this period, the art of its time. But the discussion of media art is not exclusively an issue to do with emerging technologies and how artists use them. It also concerns the ways in which artists explore the social and cultural implications of the very technologies they are working with. The intervention of the computer has given rise to complex new forms of knowledge, disturbing new ways of thinking abut what it means to be alive in the age of advanced technology.

book		The Oxford handbook of new audiovisual aesthetics / edited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, Carol Vernallis New York: Oxford University Press, c2013. Call No: 220 OXF Author: Richardson, John; Gorbman, Claudia; Vernallis, Carol Source: US Place: New York Publisher: Oxford University Press PubDate: c2013 PhysDes: Oxford University Press Subject: TECHNOLOGY AND THE CINEMA; TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS; TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS; TECHNOLOGY AND TV; INTERNET; INTERNET AND THE CINEMA; INTERNET AND TV; YOUTUBE; AESTHETICS; ANIMATION; MULTIMEDIA; SOUND REPRODUCTION; MEDIA; SOUND Summary: This book offers new ways to read the audiovisual. In the media landscapes of today, conglomerates jockey for primacy and the internet increasingly places media in the hands of individuals - producing the range of phenomena from movie blockbuster to YouTube aesthetics. Media forms and genres are proliferating and interpenetrating, from movies, music and other entertainments streaming on computers and iPods to video games and wireless phones. The audiovisual environment of everyday life, too - from street to stadium to classroom - would at times be hardly recognizable to the mid-twentieth-century subject. This book provides a definitive cross-section of current ways of thinking about sound and image. Its authors - leading scholars and promising younger ones, audiovisual practitioners and non-academic writers (both mainstream and independent) - open the discussion on audiovisual aesthetics in new directions. Our contributors come from fields including film, visual arts, new media, cultural theory, and sound and music studies, and they draw variously from economic, political, institutional, psychoanalytic, genre-based, auteurist, internationalist, reception-focused, technological, and cultural approaches to questions concerning today's sound and image.
