Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, ...
Turns of the Global, The
When we talk about the geographical, ecological, ethnographic, historical, documentary, and cosmopolitan “turns” in relation to the work of practitioners of contempory art, what exactly do we mean? Are we talking about a “reading strategy”? About an interpretive model, as would be derived from the linguistic turn of the 1970s, or rather about a stratigraphic structure that could be read across multiple cultural practices?

Or is it rather about a generative movement in which a new horizon emerges in the process, leaving behind the practice t...
The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies
The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies, 2nd Edition comprises contemporary texts by key authors and artists who are active in the interdisciplinary field of remix studies.

The act of recombining pre-existing material continues to bring up pressing questions of authenticity, reception, authorship, copyright, and the techno-politics of media activism, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence, which relies on remix methods and principles for content production. This book approaches remi...

Clemencia Echeverri
Dedicated to the artistic production of artist Clemencia Echevarri (b. Colombia) who creates her artwork around issues related to the social situation in her native Colombia. Her audio and visual installations reflect the notion of violence as an intimate act of silence, commotion and respect. The artist comments in the introduction of this edition "This is a book that examines the hesitant process of creation when it occurs during times of difficulty and horror. It is a process that starts from the everyday experience regarding the traumatic dislocation of culture and the attempt to translate into audiovisual art the effort of remembering"
