Modern artists have radically extended the conventional media of sculpture and painting. Following innovative ideas about representation and the free use of materials in Cubism, Futurism and Surrealism, particularly in the work of Duchamp, artists abandoned strict adherence to traditional media and embraced any means, including technology, which best served their purposes. Ideas about time and duration have reinstated narrative in art, via film-making and video, the theatricality of happenings, performance and installation art, digitally manipulated photography and virtual reality. This pioneering book, now expanded and revised, discusses the most influential artists internationally, from Muybridge to Rauschenberg, Bill Viola and Pipilotti Rist, and those seminal works which have transformed the map of world art. Michael Rush is the author of Video Art (Thames & Hudson, 2003), the first comprehensive survey of this medium in twenty years. A widely-published writer and essayist, he has been a frequent contributor to several publications, including the New York Times, Art in America and Bookforum. The first edition of this book was published under the title ‘New Media in Late 20th-Century Art’.

Good book, bad ship job.

Reviewed in the United States on 25 September 2013

I'm happy with the product as I needed this for class and the condition of the book is truly like new, however it took about 3 weeks for me to get it. Standard shipping shouldn't have taken this long, especially since I had prime, so shipping should have been a bit faster I'd think. If I knew it would take so long, I guess I would have bought it expedited.

Loose pages

Reviewed in the United States on 1 April 2022

The book is alright. Works for my textbook needs, but a lot of the pages are loose and falling out. Thought it was just a problem in the 1st chapter, but seems to be a common issue throughout the whole book.

Interactive Art is NIFTY!

Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this for a class of mine and it's honestly just an average book. It's a quick 4-chapter read that talks about interactive media and digital art and really interesting topics. Would recommend to anyone who's interesting in the background of physical artwork but otherwise it's just another small book. :)
