Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making. In this new paperback edition of her acclaimed book, curator Barbara London traces the history of video art as it transformed into the broader field of media art from analog to digital, small TV monitors to wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly software.
