A personal and expert account of the artists and events that
defined the medium's first 50 years, written a true expert in the
field 'London's book excites because it brings new artists into a
lineage worthy of greater stuff. Her passion for lesser-known
figures ... is contagious.' - ARTnews, The Best Art Books of 2020
Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a
half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their
latest technologies to art-making. This first-hand account by the
curator who has been following video art from its beginnings in the
late 1960s, when artists first adapted portable consumer technology
to art-making, spotlights video's ongoing importance in the art
world, tracing the genre's development alongside the advances in
technology that have continued to open up new possibilities for
artists. London has worked closely and personally with the artists
she writes about, who span generations, including Joan Jonas, Nam
June Paik, Bill Viola, Shirin Neshat, Pipilotti Rist, Miranda July,
Ragnar Kjartansson, and Ian Cheng. The text is both art-historical
and personal - weaving together background information and
insightful interpretations with unique anecdotes and experiences to
trace the history of video art as it transformed into the broader
field of media art - from analog to digital, small TV monitors to
wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly
software. In doing this, she reveals how video evolved from fringe
status to be seen as one of the foremost art forms of today.

Square meters of empty toothpaste tubes and bottles of cleaning
solution, pencils, balls of wool, or shoes—all of it in neat
rows: Waste not, the spectacular installation by Song Dong (*1966)
comprising more than ten thousand individual items, traveled around
the whole world, inspiriting countless exhibition visitors. The
artist’s mother fell into poverty during the Cultural Revolution
and compulsively collected everyday objects. The installation
arranges everything she accumulated, cataloguing and documenting
her life.This is the first volume to provide insight into all of
the series of works by the Conceptual artist in which he deals with
issues such as consumption, sustainability, memory, or
spirituality. Song Dong arranges old doors and windows from
demolished buildings to create new living spaces. In Doing Nothing
Garden at documenta 12, he transformed a mountain of garbage into
an attractive recreation area, or he recreates modern cityscapes
out of candy: Eating the City —unhealthy, but yummy. Taking a
bite is allowed! Exhibitions: Groninger Museum, Netherlands, 13.6.
