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.

Returning to Jean-Jacques Rousseau s foundational, Enlightenment-era melodrama Pygmalion with its revival of an old story about sculpted objects that spring to life, it contends that this early production prefigures the structure of contemporary melodramas and serves as a model for the way we interact with media today. Melodrama is conceptualized as a plastic form with the capacity to mould and be moulded and that speaks to fundamental processes of mediation Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 171-188), filmography (pages 188-189), and index ISBN: 9781783480470 Contents: Introduction -- Mad Men: melodrama and metamorphosis -- Turned back: advertising, televisual melodrama and metamorphosis in Mad Men -- Earth-object: melodrama and plasticity in Lars Von Trier's Melancholia -- Melodrama and plasticity in Todd Haynes's Mildred Pierce -- Postlude: Animated statue, melody, encore (moi!)

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.

book		Synthetics : aspects of art and technology in Australia, 1956-1975 / Stephen Jones Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press, Call No: 220"313" JON Author: Jones, Stephen Edition: 2011 Place: Cambridge, Massachusetts Publisher: MIT Press PhysDes: xii,395 p. : illustrated ; 24 cm Series: Leonardo Subject: TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS; TECHNOLOGY AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; COMPUTER GRAPHICS. AUSTRALIA; COMPUTERS AND THE CINEMA; BURNS, TIM; CANTRILL, ARTHUR & CORINNE; GLASHEEN, MICHAEL; PERRY, DAVID; THOMS, ALBIE; ULURU (AT, Michael Glasheen, 1978) Summary: New technologies continually arise, offering repeated opportunities to artists in search of the technologically novel. Stephen Jones calls this phenomenon the "rolling new," and in Synthetics he describes how artists in Australia used new technologies in their art, from the early days of digital computing in the 1950s to a landmark exhibition in 1975. Jones looks at not only the artists and the artworks they produced but also at the evolution of computing technologies and video displays as these new forms of media developed into tools that artists could use. He also examines the collaborations that sprang up between artists and the technologists who taught them how to use these new devices. The process, he finds, was reciprocal: the offerings of the engineer could inspire the artist as much as the needs of the artist could inspire the engineer. Jones discusses the constraints imposed by the limitations of new technologies as they developed and shows that different types of output and display technologies made for the production of very different kinds of images. He explores the development of computer graphics, the use by artists of such new conceptual paradigms as post-object art, and the emergence of video art in the late 1960s and early 1970s. By 1975, the art and technology movement in Australia reached something of a watershed. The work itself became established as an art form just as funding dwindled and a popular and supportive left-wing government left office. And yet, Jones writes, the early electronic artists laid the foundation for today's burgeoning culture of new media art in Australia. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780262014960 Donation: Megan McMurchy More info
