Description

Expanded Cinema, first published in 1970, is a seminal work that helped establish media art as a cultural category. Gene Youngblood's influential book explores video, computers, and holography as cinematic technologies, offering an insider account of the 1960s counterculture and the birth of cybernetics.

This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new Introduction by the author, providing conceptual tools for understanding the sociocultural and sociopolitical realities of our present world. The book traces the evolution of cinematic language to the end of fiction, drama, and realism, analyzing outstanding works and describing methods of production through interviews with artists and technologists of the period.

With its prescient formulations and detailed analysis, Expanded Cinema remains a valuable reference for media artists and scholars today.
