Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture

The growth of electronic media has been greeted with both celebration and fear, but few books have tried to analyse what is actually being made in the new media. How do people make sense of themselves, their world and the new mediations between them today? What new cultural and artistic practices are evolving, where do they come from and where are they going? Videography is intended as a general introduction to the study and appreciation of video media, and will be of interest to students of media and cultural studies, to art students and practicing artists, and to the general reader with an interest in the development of our electronic futures.
