exercising at Green Lake, as if anticipating with eagerness the new
marvels that will greet him on each successive day. "My thoughts
whenever I am at Green Lake are always the same: it's good to be
alive." ~H. Allenger
The Art of Subtraction is the first full-length study on the CD-ROM
as a creative platform. Bruno Lessard traces the rise and
relatively rapid fall of the CD-ROM in the 1980s and 1990s and its
impact as a creative platform for media artists such as Jean-Louis
Boissier, Zoe Beloff, Adriene Jenik, and Chris Marker. Although the
CD-ROM was not a lasting commercial success it was a vibrant medium
that allowed for experimentation in adapting literary works.
Building on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Michele Foucault,
Lessard establishes a comparative framework for linking digital
adaptations with innovative concepts such as 'subtractive
adaptation' and the 'object image' that will be of interest to
researchers examining literary adaptations on other digital
platforms such as websites, smart phones, tablets, and digital
games. The Art of Subtraction is a fascinating study of
intermediality in the late twentieth century and it provides the
first chapter in the yet unwritten history of digital adaptation.
