Artist, filmmaker, and writer Hito Steyerl is an acute observer and
interpreter of globalized and digital cultures. This book examines
three of Steyerl's large-scale works-Hell Yeah We Fuck Die (2016),
ExtraSpaceCraft (2016), and Liquidity Inc. (2014)-as well as other
iconic works from the last 15 years. These essayistic documentary
films blend personal with political and satire with seriousness.
Her artworks and writings are inspired by her investigations of the
impact of the internet and new technologies on our lives and are
critical of the various forms of control and surveillance, as well
as militarisation and cultural globalisation.
A fascinating survey of pioneering work in experimental cinema and
art from 1905 to the present day, revealing the high stakes and
transformative potential of these forms This generously illustrated
publication surveys the work of filmmakers and artists who have
pushed the material and conceptual boundaries of cinema. Over the
past century, the material, optical, abstract, spatial, and tactile
properties of film have been tested at a level of experimentation
and utopian ambition that is generally unrecognized. Whether
creating synesthetic or 3-D environments, projective or
non-projective installations, generations of leading-edge artists
have explored how technology transforms experience. The essays
published here offer an intensive look at the themes of cinematic
space, formats of the screen, animation and CGI, the body and the
cyborg, and the materiality of film. Contributors place particular
emphasis on the idea of the cinema as a sensorium and on the ways
in which it defines the human body, both through representation and
in relation to the projected image. An immersive plate section
brings together rarely seen and previously unpublished stills, in
addition to concept drawings from historic and contemporary films.
