Images have never been as freely circulated as they are today. They
have also never been so tightly controlled. As with the birth of
photography, digital reproduction has created new possibilities for
the duplication and consumption of images, offering greater
dissemination and access. But digital reproduction has also stoked
new anxieties concerning authenticity and ownership. From this
contemporary vantage point, After Uniqueness traces the ambivalence
of reproducibility through the intersecting histories of
experimental cinema and the moving image in art, examining how
artists, filmmakers, and theorists have found in the copy a utopian
promise or a dangerous inauthenticity-or both at once. From the
sale of film in limited editions on the art market to the
downloading of bootlegs, from the singularity of live cinema to
video art broadcast on television, Erika Balsom investigates how
the reproducibility of the moving image has been embraced,
rejected, and negotiated by major figures including Stan Brakhage,
Leo Castelli, and Gregory Markopoulos. Through a comparative
analysis of selected distribution models and key case studies, she
demonstrates how the question of image circulation is central to
the history of film and video art. After Uniqueness shows that
distribution channels are more than neutral pathways; they
determine how we encounter, interpret, and write the history of the
moving image as an art form.
