Video Art : A Guided Tour Catherine Elwes
 Book Description Video art dominates the international art world to such an extent that its heady days on the radical fringes are sometimes overlooked--often unknown. This book is an essential and highly entertaining guide to video art and its history. Elwes, herself a pioneer of early video, traces the story from the weighty Portapak equipment of the '60s and '70s to today's digital technology, from early experiments in "real time" to the "new narrative" movement of the 1980s. She also examines video's love-hate relationship with television, from its literal destruction in "scratch" video to its apparent absorption into the mainstream with works commissioned by Channel Four. Throughout its forty-year history, video has been allied to self-portraiture, landscape, painting and sculpture and has been co-opted as a political tool. Artists discussed include amongst many others Nam June Paik, Nan Hoover, The Duvet Brothers, Dara Birnbaum, Bill Viola, Pipilloti Rist, David Hall, Stuart......

The Architecture of Life and Death in Borneo Robert L. Winzeler
 Book DescriptionPresent-day travelers visiting Borneo to see the marvelous buildings pictured in books are liable to wonder if they somehow ended up in the wrong place. Much of the architecture of Borneo and other areas of the humid tropics was never intended to last and, built as it is of wood and other organic materials, last it has not. Among Borneo's spectacular indigenous buildings, the longhouses, mortuary monuments, and other architectural forms of the interior are some of the most outstanding, and much of the renewed interest in indigenous architecture has focused on the rapidly vanishing or now extinct traditional forms of a small number of surviving examples or recreations. Drawing on the author's extensive research and travel in Borneo, this impressive and original study offers a more comprehensive account of this architecture than any previous work. Organized into two sections, the book first documents and explains traditional built forms in terms of tools and......

Deanimated Martin Arnold
 Book DescriptionMartin Arnold ist einer der profiliertesten experimentellen Filmemacher Osterreichs. Seine jungste Arbeit „Deanimated: The Invisible Ghost“ ist eine Art Ubermalung eines klassischen amerikanischen Horrorstreifens: im Verlauf der Handlung werden zentrale Figuren des Geschehens mit digitalen Mitteln herauskopiert, sodass sich der Film sukzessive entvolkert. Durch diesen Deanimationsprozess entsteht aus der alten, herkommlichen Suspense-Geschichte eine neue, die offener und ratselhafter ist. Durch das Loschen der Schauspieler wird das asthetische und narrative System des Spielfilms im Zustand des Zusammenbruchs dargestellt. Die Kamera scheint einem Geheimnis auf der Spur zu sein und in der Leere, in welche die noch verbliebenen Darsteller hineinsprechen, stellen sich grundsatzliche Fragen nach Sein oder Nichtsein. Deanimated prasentiert den gesamten Film in einer Serie von Fotostills. In einem Interview mit dem......
