“Lux” gathers together a variety of essays, commentaries, interviews, scripts and artists’ projects representative of a decade of artists’ film and video. As the editors note, the book is intended to be a print analogue to the screening activities of Toronto’s Pleasure Dome, and to blur the distinction between the artist’s and the critic’s practice. Includes a chronology of Pleasure Dome’s film and video events from their inception in 1989 to 1999. Notes on contributors. Circa 95 bibl. ref.

"'The Leona Drive Project' was a site-specific exhibition in Willowdale, Ontario, which is one of Toronto's older inner suburbs. Named after the cul-de-sac where the exhibition took place, the show unfolded in six vacant bungalows that had been boarded up for over seven years. 'The Project' had, as its central premise, the investigation of suburban experience historical and contemporary, generalized and specific - within the larger contexts of urbanism, collective memory, and social change." -- p. 7

Expo 67, in its utopian aspirations, invited artists to create the world anew. What distinguished Montreal's exhibition from previous world fairs were its dramatic displays of film and media, transformed into urban and futuristic architectures. Reimagining Cinema explores the innovations that film and media artists offered Expo audiences and presents extensive visual material to reconstruct the viewer's experience. At the pinnacle of a new global humanism, cinema was expanded beyond the frame into total environments, multi-screens, multi-image and 360-degree immersion - experiments often seen as a harbinger of the digital age. Taking this expanded cinema as a starting point, the contributors focus on eight screen experiments, and employ innovative methodologies to reveal the intricacies and processes of production, while including factual descriptions, interpretive essays, interviews, and image dossiers. The book reflects how the Expo 67 film-events were encountered as creat...

done on visual evidence. Not only have theorists been concerned with the legal status of photographs, films, videos and digital images but also with the epistemological and cultural assumptions underlying this status.’ Given the myriad forms of visible evidence and images that currently exist, the questions being posed today are more complex than forty years ago. The central question is no longer whether or not photographic images mediate reality as Andr6 Bazin put it, but how they mediate reality. Films like Rashomon (Kurosawa, Japan 1950) and Blow Up (Antonioni, USA 1967) explored the difficulties inherent in reconstructing past events both through human testimony and photographic technology. Today, new digital technologies are profoundly reconfiguring this undertaking. Theorists of the

As a medium, film is constantly evolving both in form and in content. Fluid Screens, Expanded Cinema considers the shift from traditional cinema to new frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Using the theories of Marshall McLuhan and Gilles Deleuze as a starting point, renowned scholars from the fields of film theory, communication studies, cultural studies, and new media theory explore the ways in which digital technology is transforming contemporary visual culture. The essays consider a series of questions: What constitutes the .new. in new media? How are digital aesthetics different from film aesthetics? What new forms of spectatorship and storytelling, political community, and commodity production are being enabled through the digital media? Using Gene Youngblood's 1970 book Expanded Cinema as an anchor for the volume, Fluid Screens, Expanded Cinema understands the digital not simply as a technological form, but also as an experience of space and time that is tied to capitalism. This important collection is unique in framing a range of social justice issues with aesthetic theories of new digital screen culture that will appeal to scholars and multimedia artists prepared to break new ground.
