Re: info Book Experimental Film and Video

For artists working with moving image in the late twentieth century, the past forty years of technological innovation has significantly altered the materials ofproduction, revolutionising the possibilities for experiment and exhibition. Notsince the invention of film has there been such a critical period of major changein the imaging technologies accessible to artists. Bringing together key artists in film, video and digital media this Anthology, Experimental Film and Video revisits the divergent philosophical and critical discourses of the 1970s and in the light of the convergence technologies of digital media and paradigms encompassing the technological, narrative, expanded, performative, theatrical and sculptural, re-positions these debates relative to contemporary practice. Forty artists have contributed images, and twenty-five artists reflect on the diverse critical agendas, contexts, and communities that have affected their practice across the period from the late 1960s to date.
