Considering how culturally indispensable digital technology is
today, it is ironic that computer-generated art was attacked when
it burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. In fact, no other
twentieth-century art form has elicited such a negative and hostile
response. When the Machine Made Art examines the cultural and
critical response to computer art, or what we refer to today as
digital art. Tracing the heated debates between art and science,
the societal anxiety over nascent computer technology, and the
myths and philosophies surrounding digital computation, Taylor is
able to identify the destabilizing forces that shape and eventually
fragment the computer art movement.

A fully bilingual catalogue (English/Japanese) for an exhibition of
the Japanese video/film artist Yu Araki, at The Container, Tokyo.
The catalogue explores in writings and images Araki's practice and
the exhibition "Wrong Translation," featuring a video installation
inspired by Araki's recent residency in Santander, Spain, summer
2013. The video installation, entitled "ANGELO LIVES," makes
references to Shusaku Endo's novel "Silence" (1966), and
fictitiously narrated by Anjiro, a Japanese convicted murderer who
fled Japan to the Malaysian state Malacca in the 16th century,
returning later back to Japan with Saint Francis Xavier and two
additional Jesuits, as an interpreter, in what is documented as the
first Jesuit mission to Japan. The installation also forges false
connections between the spread of Christianity to the new world and
the export of olive oil. The Container, as the name suggests, is no
more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm) in
Nakameguro, Tokyo. The exhibition space, the brainchild of
Tokyo-based curator Shai Ohayon, invites Japanese and international
artists to make site-specific installations four times a year. Each
installation remains on view to the public for two-and-a-half
months. www.the-container.com
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.
Francois Truffaut called "Night and Fog" "the greatest film ever
made." But when Alain Resnais finished his documentary, with its
depiction of Nazi atrocities, the resistance of the French censors
was fierce. A mere decade had passed since the end of the war, and
the French public was unprepared to confront the horrors shown in
the film--let alone the possibility of French complicity. In fact
it would be through "Night and Fog" that many viewers first
learned, as film critic Serge Daney put it, "that the worst had
only just taken place."
An engrossing account of the genesis, production, and legacy of
Resnais's incomparable film, this book documents in extraordinary
detail how a film that began as a cinematic spin-off of an
educational exhibition on "resistance, liberation, and deportation"
went on to become a significant step in the building of a
collective consciousness of the tragedy of World War II. Sylvie
Lindeperg frames her investigation with the story of historian Olga
Wormser-Migot, who played an integral role in the research and
writing of "Night and Fog"--and whose slight error on one point
gave purchase to the film's detractors and revisionists and
Holocaust deniers. Lindeperg follows the travails of Resnais,
Wormser-Migot, and their collaborators in a pan-European search for
footage, photographs, and other documentation. She uncovers
creative use of liberation footage to stand in for daily life of
the camps featured to such shocking effect in the film--a finding
that raises hotly debated questions about reenactment and
witnessing even as it enhances our understanding of the film's
provenance and impact.
A microhistory of a film that altered the culture it reflected,
"Night and Fog "offers a unique interpretation of the interworking
of biography, history, politics, and film in one epoch-making
cultural moment.
