“One of the most balanced, provocative and intriguing exhibition readers of the year” Dan Glaser (Neuroscientist & Head of Special Projects, Wellcome Trust)
In recent years, the relations between vision, memory and media have become of burgeoning interest in art, cultural studies and the sciences. Vision, Memory and Media is a cross-disciplinary exploration that takes into account recent scientific research concerning memory studies, and couples this with broad and accessible cultural discussion about vision and media in a web 2.0 era. The texts are accompanied by illuminating images of artworks by contemporary artists whose practice explores the interplay of memory, vision and media.
Published to coincide with the exhibition Persistence of Vision (FACT/Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center), this reader includes texts and contributions by Marco Bertamini and Rebecca Lawson, Visual Perception Lab, The University of Liverpool; memory and media ecology expert, Professor Andrew Hoskins; American cultural critic, Norman M. Klien; writer, Omar Kholief; exhibition curators Andreas Brogger and Karen Newman, as well as the artists Jamie Allen, AVPD, Julius von Bismarck, Julien Marie, Melik Ohanian, Sascha Pohflepp, Lindsay Seers, Gebhard Sengmuller and Mizuki Watanabe.
