| Summary: | "The production, distribution, and perception of moving images are undergoing a radical transformation, Ever-faster computers, digital technology, and micro-electronic devices are joining forces to produce advanced audiovision - the media vanishing point of the 20th century. The classic institutions for the mediation of film - cinema and television - are revealed to be no more than interludes in the broader history of the audiovisual media. This book interprets these changes not simply as a cultural loss but also as a challenge: the new audio-visions have to be confronted squarely to make strategic intervention possible. It is also a plea for 'staying power' in studies of cultural technology and technological culture of film."--BOOK JACKET. |
