New Media in Late 20th-Century Art
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 – particularly in the work of Duchamp – artists embraced any means, including technological ones, which best served their purposes. 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 discusses the most internationally influential artists – from Eadweard Muybridge to Robert Rauschenberg, Bill Viola and Pipilotti Rist – and those seminal works which have radically transformed the map of world art.
