Author: Birnbaum, DaraDara Birnbaum has relentlessly dissected the process of watching and has argued against the passive absorption of mass media, information and ideology through various subversive techniques. Including original scholarship by leading critics and curators of moving image and media art, this book examines Birnbaum's key works and concepts to illustrate how much her practice has to teach in a technology- and media-laden culture that demands constant participation and response.As media itself has evolved over the years, from the monolithic nature of TV broadcast networks to the Internet’s decentralisation of information, Birnbaum’s work has remained consistently prescient and vital, incorporating new technologies and providing a touchstone for generations of younger artists.ISBN 9781954947016.
