Screens are ubiquitous today. Yet contemporary screen media
eliminate the presence of the screen and diminish the visibility of
its boundaries. As the image becomes indistinguishable from the
viewer's surroundings, this unsettling prompts re.examination of
how screen boundaries demarcate. Through readings of three media
forms - Virtual Reality; holograms; and light projections - this
book develops new theories of the surfaces on and spaces in which
images are displayed. Interrogating contemporary contestations of
reality against illusion, it argues that the disappearance of
difference reflects shifted conditions of actuality and virtuality
in understanding the human condition. These shifts further connect
to the current state of politics by way of their distorted truth
values, corrupted terms of information, and internalizations of
difference. The Post.Screen Through Virtual Reality, Holograms and
Light Projections thus thinks anew the image's borders and
delineations, evoking the screen boundary as an instrumentation of
today's intense virtualizations which do not tell the truth. In the
process, a new imagination for images emerges for a gluttony of the
virtual; for new conceptualizations of object and representation,
materiality and energies, media and histories, real and unreal; for
new understandings of appearances, dis-appearances, replacement and
re.placement - the post-screen.
