What philosophy wants from images /

Rodowick, David Norman,

What philosophy wants from images / D.N. Rodowick. - Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2018. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)

In recent decades, contemporary art has displayed an ever increasing and complicated fascination with the cinema - or, perhaps more accurately, as D.N. Rodowick shows, a certain memory of cinema. Contemporary works of film, video, and moving image installation mine a vast and virtual archive of cultural experience through elliptical and discontinuous fragments of remembered images, even as the lived experience of film and photography recedes into the past, supplanted by the digital. Rodowick here explores work by artists such as Ken Jacobs, Ernie Gehr, Victor Burgin, Harun Farocki, and others - artists who are creating forms that express a new historical consciousness of images.
