Description
The Language of New Media by Lev Manovich is a comprehensive account of new media that draws upon its roots in old media, particularly cinema. This systematic theory explores how new media relies on conventions from the past, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, to create an illusion of reality and address the viewer. Manovich's analysis delves into the history of visual and media cultures over the last few centuries, examining the ways in which new media works represent space and develop unique categories and forms. The book also explores parallels between the histories of cinema and new media, including digital cinema and screen and montage techniques. By combining concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science, Manovich develops new theoretical constructs that shed light on the cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography of new media.
