In Virtual Memory, Homay King traces the concept of the virtual
through the philosophical works of Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze,
and Giorgio Agamben to offer a new framework for thinking about
film, video, and time-based contemporary art. Detaching the virtual
from its contemporary associations with digitality, technology,
simulation, and speed, King shows that using its original
meaning-which denotes a potential on the cusp of becoming-provides
the means to reveal the "analog" elements in contemporary digital
art. Through a queer reading of the life and work of mathematician
Alan Turing, and analyses of artists who use digital technologies
such as Christian Marclay, Agnes Varda, and Victor Burgin, King
destabilizes the analog/digital binary. By treating the virtual as
the expression of powers of potential and change and of historical
contingency, King explains how these artists transcend distinctions
between disembodiment and materiality, abstraction and tangibility,
and the unworldly and the earth-bound. In so doing, she shows how
their art speaks to durational and limit-bound experience more than
contemporary understandings of the virtual and digital would
suggest.
"A.S. Eye See It" is a visual wonderland of digital sketches. The
images speak for themselves. It includes art drawn with the use of
an eyegaze enabled augmentative communication device, as well as
hand drawn digital art. The artist is 7 years old and has
Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. "A.S. Eye See It" transcends physical
reality, and projects a brand new digital landscape.

In *Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary,"* Elayne Zalis
explores personal and cultural memories of life in the United
States during the second half of the twentieth century. Blending
fact and fiction, the retrospective brings together artistic,
multimedia, and literary texts from her repertoire. A childhood
diary that Zalis kept in the mid-1960s inspired these transmedia
experiments. The book includes reproductions of more than twenty
color and black-and-white images. For additional background, see

The 0ne Rupee Film Project is an independent and ultra-low-budget
crowd-funded feature length docu-fiction out of India. The makers
of the film had to go through a 474 day long fundraising campaign.
They asked for a minimum contribution of one rupee from everyone
they came across. Thus, 2,85,000 Indian rupees could be raised to
complete the production and the initial stages of post-production.
The film is titled Aashmani Jawaharat aka Diamonds in the Sky but
the campaign had been so huge that it is still popularly recognized
as the one rupee film. The books of this series contains stories,
backgrounds and experiences the makers of the 0ne Rupee Film
Project had during this extra-ordinary journey of theirs. If you
are interested in what kind of reality the marginal independent
filmmakers have to face or what unique face of reality they see
everyday, this book will surely amuse you.
