Screen/Space: The Projected Image in Contemporary Art

'Projected-image art occupies an increasingly important place in the contemporary art-world. But does the projected image have its own specificity, beyond the histories of experimental film and video on the one hand, and installation art on the other? What is a projected image, and what is the history of projected-image art? What is the relationship of the projected image to the museum, and is the museum being superseded by new media, digital, and internet art? What are the specific forms of spectatorship which are encouraged by projected-image art, and how do these present challenges to existing critical and theoretical frameworks? Is there a politics of projection?

These questions and others are explored in this collection of nine essays by leading international scholars of film and projected-image art. Structured in three sections - "Histories", "Screen", and "Space" - the book argues for recognition of the projected image as a distinctive category in contemporary art, which demands new critical and theoretical approaches.' - excerpted from back cover.
