Medienkunst in der Schweiz
Pioniere, Bastler, Provokateure = Media art in Switzerland : pioneers, tinkerers, provocateurs
Zusammenfassung:
- Never before in history a medium has so radically changed society and culture as digitization and the Internet have. This development has also brought forth a new art movement: media arts. This publication traces this explosive development in Switzerland since the mid-90s. It addresses on the one hand the most important artistic strategies: sound and video art, Internet art, hacking, mashup and remix, do-it-yourself, robotics and machine art as well as purely conceptual approaches and, on the other hand, also the role of promoters, festivals, universities and art galleries and exhibition spaces.
