Form Next to Form Next to Form
"Form next to form next to form is a book made from stills from Nova Paul's experimental 16mm film 'This is not Dying' (2010) that was made at the film-maker's marae Maungarongo in the north of New Zealand's North Island. Using an early cinematic optical printing process of three-colour separation Paul's films render the landscape in prismatic shards of technicolour. In this book stills are printed using RGB colours designed to echo the optical process of the three-colour separation film itself. Two pieces of writing are included: Karl Steven's liner notes on musician Ben Tawhiti; and Gwynneth Porter and Nova Paul's essay 'The Virtues of Trees' that grew from conversations over a year, spanning ideas of sovereignty, resistance, film analysis and art history, genealogy and care of self and the world around us"--Publisher's information.

Place
Place: Local Knowledge and New Media Practice explores tensions between global cosmopolitanism and local practices in the new media environment. This edited collection of work by practitioners and scholars emphasises political issues raised by artists working in an indigenous cultural setting. Indigenous epistemologies provide sophisticated structures for negotiating belonging among communities who may become widely dispersed from their homelands.

Nonetheless, questions of belonging and identification remain for those of us who use new media networks. Through analysis of a range of contemporary art and film projects, and tracking recent developments in cultural theory, the book provides diverse perspectives on how long-held attachments to place are transforming in the new media context.
Darcy Lange, Videography as Social Practice
The Videography of Darcy Lange is a critical monograph of a pivotal figure in early analogue video. Trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, Lange developed a socially engaged video practice with remarkable studies of people at work in industrial, farming, and teaching contexts that drew from conceptual art, social documentary and structuralist filmmaking. Lange saw in portable video a democratic tool for communication and social transformation, continuing the legacy of the revolutionary avant-garde projects that merged art with social life and turned audiences into producers. This book follows Lange's trajectory from his early observational studies to the crisis of representation ...
