New Screen Media: Cinema/Art/Narrative
The British Film Institute (BFI), London/Center for Art and Media
(ZKM) Karlsruhe, 2002
The advent of new media presents a serious challenge to our
understanding of visual representation, of narrative and indeed the
whole art of the moving image. New narrative forms in hypertext,
multimedia, computer games, interactive broadcast and screen media
are constantly redefining the relationship between the creators of
content and their audiences, who increasingly are becoming the
co-producers of meaning.
This publication juxtaposes the work of leading cultural theorists
and philosophers of new media, against creative artists' attempts to
accommodate to these vehicles of content. The book shows how
classical narrative in many areas has been giving way to a new, more
fragmentary culture of drama. It re-purposes the use of critical
tools for discussing the inner design and immersive effects of the
new media forms and its social, political and cultural contexts.
Alongside a discussion of how these new stories relate to issues of
identity and the body, restructured temporal and spatial models and
interfaces, the book explores differing creative platforms such as
the Internet, Media Installation, Interactive Broadcast, CD-ROM and
Expanded Cinema. The artists, themselves exploring innovative
solutions, critically examine their own practice, with a special
focus on fiction-based forms of interaction.
The volume is presented with an accompanying DVD-ROM, featuring
extracts from some of the groundbreaking works discussed by leading
media theorists from Europe and the USA, including: Annika Blunck,
Alex Butterworth, Sean Cubitt, S=F6ke Dinkla, Jon Dovey, Timothy
Druckrey, Malcolm Le Grice, Lev Manovich, Peter Weibel, Paul Willemen
and John Wyver.
DVD-ROM
Made in conjunction with the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe,
Germany, this unique addition to the book provides a rich sampler of
interactive work and videos by which to explore the experimental
territory, where the cinematic and digital arts are converging in new
forms of narrative.
Such work has usually been shown in international gallery and
conference venues, which have been inaccessible to a general
audience. This compilation is carefully cross-referenced with the
book to open a comprehensive overview to a wider public. The
cross-platform DVD-ROM provides up to 4 Gigabytes of detailed
illustration and analysis of the work of artists and interactive
filmmakers from around the world, who are at the cutting-edge in
creating and critiquing these new hybrid forms of interactive
narrative.
Practitioners such as: Zoe Beloff, Michael Buckley, Luc Courchesne,
Toni Dove, Ken Feingold, Chris Hales, Graham Harwood, George Legrady,
Merel Mirage, Martin Rieser, Jill Scott, Bill Seaman, Jeffrey Shaw,
Eku Wand, Grahame Weinbren and Andrea Zapp are featured. A
representative selection of Installation forms, CD-ROM, Web and
Broadcast are examined in depth.
