| Summary: | "A definitive survey of the world's leading contemporary artists working in vido and the moving image. Video has never been more prevalent in contemporary art than it is today. At a time when moving images have saturated daily life to an unprecedented degree, artists continue to draw new possibilities from the medium, ranging from analog film and digital video to hand-drawn animation and computer-generated imagery. The first of its kind, this book showcases more than 380 works by 102 living artists from 43 countries, nominated by a carefully selected panel of high-profile art-world figures from around the globe. Featured artists include: John Akomfrah, Ed Atkins, Rosa Barba, Matthew Barney, Meriem Bennani, Cao Fei, Alex Da Corte, Stan Douglas, Forensic Architecture, Gabrielle Goliath, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Sky Hopinka, Arthur Jafa, William Kentridge, Ragnar Kjartansson, Paul Pfeiffer, Laure Prouvost, Pipilotti Rist, Mika Rottenberg, Wael Shawky, Hito Steyerl, Martine Syms, Tourmaline, Ryan Trecartin, Wu Tsang, and Yang Fudong. An introductory essay by film scholar Erika Balsom places these cutting-edge creators within the context of the history of video art." -- |
