We live in an age of the mobile image. The world today is
absolutely saturated with analog and digital images of all kinds
circulating around the world at an incredible rate. The movement of
the image has never been more extraordinary than it is today. This
recent kinetic revolution of the image has hitherto unconsidered
consequences not only for the way we think about contemporary art
and aesthetics but also for art history as well. Responding to this
historical moment, Theory of the Image offers a fresh new
aesthetics and history of art from the perspective of this
epoch-defining mobility. The image has been understood in many
ways, but rarely, if ever, has it been understood to be, primarily
and above all, in motion. This original approach is what defines
Theory of the Image and what allows it to offer the first kinetic
history of the Western art tradition. In this book, Thomas Nail
further develops his larger philosophy of movement into a
comprehensive "kinesthetics" of the moving image from prehistory to
the present. The book concludes with a vivid analysis of the
contemporary digital image and its hybridity, ultimately outlining
new territory for research and exploration across aesthetics, art
history, cultural theory, and media studies.
