Expanded Senses
Auf die vielerorts im Kontext der Neuen Bewegtbilder in Kino/TV/Netz/Kunst ausgerufene »Expansion der Sinne« reagiert der bilinguale Band mit einer umsichtigen Doppelbewegung. Zunächst gilt es, in einem genauen Befragen der für das Kino konstitutiven, »kinästhetischen« Erfahrung in der Filmwahrnehmung (Vivian Sobchack) ein in die Medien stets schon eingeschriebenes Angebot zur sinnlichen (Selbst-)Entgrenzung und Überschreitung anzuerkennen. In der Folge wird im Wechselspiel konkreter Bewegtbilder aus den Produktionsstätten der Neuen Medien mit philosophischen, gesellschaftstheoretischen und neurobiologisch motivierten Theorien und Modellen der Wandel unserer sinnlichen und mentalen Vermögen durch Techniken der Modulation, der Simulation, der Prothetik, der Vernetzung und der digitalen Kartographie nachgezeichnet.
On Desire
Desire indicates phenomena that are implicated in a productive ambiguity. These phenomena associate basic elements of human coexistence, while also referencing complex social processes and institutions. With today's new media we experience an assemblage of desire that maps out new relationships to the social body, to sexuality and gender questions, to ownership, and to the production, perception, and appropriation of moving images. This book brings together a broad spectrum of international positions relating to the time-based, immersive arts presented at the third B3 - the Biennial of the Moving Image Frankfurt/Main 2017 - which focuses on desire in the contemporary world. An extensive essa...
The Essential Paul Laffoley
Paul Laffoley is a Visionary artist who lives and works in a tiny space in Boston he calls "the Boston Visionary Cell." A trained architect, Laffoley produces brilliantly colored mandala paintings filled with symbols and texts. Each painting is accompanied by a tex called a "thought-form," which serves as commentary on the painting's content. The paintings--many of them large (73 x 73 inches)--have titles that range from the paranormal and arcane ("The Ectoplasmic Man," "The Sexuality of Robots") to the erudite: "De Rerum Natura," referring to the poet Lucretius. Laffoley is interested in "the mechanics of mysticism," time and space, dreams, magic, and consciousness. In addition to painting,...
Decoding Digital Culture with Science Fiction
How do digital media technologies affect society and our lives? Through the cultural theory hypotheses of hyper-modernism, hyperreality, and posthumanism, Alan N. Shapiro investigates the social impact of Virtual/Augmented Reality, AI, social media platforms, robots, and the Brain-Computer Interface. His examination of concepts of Jean Baudrillard and Katherine Hayles, as well as films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, Ex Machina, and the TV series Black Mirror, suggests that the boundary between science fiction narratives and the »real world« has become indistinct. Science-fictional thinking should be advanced as a principal mode of knowledge for grasping the world and digitalization.
Music, Narrative and the Moving Image
In extending the traditional field of Word and Music Studies to include research on film and other forms of moving visualizations, this volume focuses on innovative discussions of artistic works showing relationships between three individual communicative media. This trifocal, interdisciplinary perspective is reflected in seventeen essays that cover the historical space from the 19th to the 21st centuries and discuss a wide variety of individual genres in the represented media. These range from Parisian cabaret to ‘revolutionary’ Peking opera, from silent film to Holocaust narration, from documentary propaganda movies to opera film interludes, and more. The investigation of historical cases is broadened by reflections on theoretical and functional issues, primarily in film music, which show a remarkable breadth of technical and perceptual varieties. The essays here collected are of relevance to scholars and students of film studies, musicology, and literature, as well as readers generally interested in Intermediality Studies.
