The Experience Machine
An argument that the collaborative multimedia projects produced by Stan VanDerBeek in the 1960s and 1970s anticipate contemporary new media and participatory art practices. In 1965, the experimental filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek (1927–1984) unveiled his Movie-Drome, made from the repurposed top of a grain silo. VanDerBeek envisioned Movie-Drome as the prototype for a communications system—a global network of Movie-Dromes linked to orbiting satellites that would store and transmit images. With networked two-way communication, Movie-Dromes were meant to ameliorate technology's alienating impulse. In The Experience Machine, Gloria Sutton views VanDerBeek—known mostly for his experimental anim...

Rampen
Rampen zijn bepalend geweest voor de geschiedenis van Nederland. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Sint-Elisabethsvloed in 1421, toen mensen, dieren en dorpen verdronken. Het landschap veranderde voorgoed. Of aan de Bijlmerramp in 1992, toen een vliegtuig neerstortte in de Bijlmermeer. Er ging een schokgolf door het hele land. De publieke reactie op rampen volgt opvallend vaak eenzelfde stramien, al zijn er natuurlijk ook verschillen. Al eeuwenlang zoeken burgers in tijden van rampspoed houvast in culturele en religieuze rituelen. Ze organiseren liefdadigheidsactiviteiten, benefietconcerten en herdenkingen. De media sturen, steeds meer, de waarneming en publiceren sensationele verhalen over slachtoff...
The Channeled Image
A fascinating look at artistic experiments with televisual forms. Following the integration of television into the fabric of American life in the 1950s, experimental artists of the 1960s began to appropriate this novel medium toward new aesthetic and political ends. As Erica Levin details in The Channeled Image, groundbreaking artists like Carolee Schneemann, Bruce Conner, Stan VanDerBeek, and Aldo Tambellini developed a new formal language that foregrounded television’s mediation of a social order defined by the interests of the state, capital, and cultural elites. The resulting works introduced immersive projection environments, live screening events, videographic distortion, and televis...

Between the Black Box and the White Cube
Today, the moving image is ubiquitous in global contemporary art. The first book to tell the story of the postwar expanded cinema that inspired this omnipresence, Between the Black Box and the White Cube travels back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the rise of television caused movie theaters to lose their monopoly over the moving image, leading cinema to be installed directly alongside other forms of modern art. Explaining that the postwar expanded cinema was a response to both developments, Andrew V. Uroskie argues that, rather than a formal or technological innovation, the key change for artists involved a displacement of the moving image from the familiarity of the cinematic theater to orig...
