Beschreibung
In this book, the authors explore a media vernacular that includes bottom up initiatives countering mass media spanning from the late 1970s and 1980s to the 1990s with an outlook to contemporary and future practices of participatory production and sharing of video and net art. Honoring the approach of a translocal perspective, the book centers around Basel, Switzerland, but at the same time looks beyond this location. With its focus on video and net art, as well as activism, the book crosses media boundaries, arriving at an investigation of screen cultures. The authors understand screen cultures as the intersection of video and net art and activism: A range of practices for creating spaces for exchanges that are embedded in technologies of capturing, editing and disseminating both analog and digital video, as well as in communication technologies such as bulletin board systems and the early internet.
