Description
Homay King explores the concept of the virtual in film, video, and time-based contemporary art through the philosophical works of Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, and Giorgio Agamben. By detaching the virtual from its associations with digitality, technology, simulation, and speed, King reveals a new framework for understanding the "analog" elements in digital art.
King's analysis of artists such as Christian Marclay, Agnès Varda, and Victor Burgin shows how they transcend distinctions between disembodiment and materiality, abstraction and tangibility. By treating the virtual as an expression of powers of potential and change, King explains how these artists create art that speaks to durational and limit-bound experience.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between the digital and the analog in contemporary art, challenging our understanding of the virtual and its role in artistic practice.
