As a medium, film is constantly evolving both in form and in
content. Fluid Screens, Expanded Cinema considers the shift from
traditional cinema to new frontiers of interactive, performative,
and networked media.
Using the theories of Marshall McLuhan and Gilles Deleuze as a
starting point, renowned scholars from the fields of film theory,
communication studies, cultural studies, and new media theory
explore the ways in which digital technology is transforming
contemporary visual culture. The essays consider a series of
questions: What constitutes the "new" in new media? How are digital
aesthetics different from film aesthetics? What new forms of
spectatorship and storytelling, political community, and commodity
production are being enabled through the digital media?
Using Gene Youngblood's 1970 book Expanded Cinema as an anchor
for the volume, Fluid Screens, Expanded Cinema understands the
digital not simply as a technological form, but also as an
experience of space and time that is tied to capitalism. This
important collection is unique in framing a range of social justice
issues with aesthetic theories of new digital screen culture that
will appeal to scholars and multimedia artists prepared to break
new ground.
