Moving Layers Contextual Video in Art and Architecture (b&w)

Volume # 31 of "The IT Revolution in Architecture", "Moving Layers" explores the stratified language of the electronic image and its ability to redefine architectonic space, giving it new meaning. From the prehistory and genetics of Video Art to the origins of video installations, site specific installations, interactive environments and Public Video Art, all the way to the applications of advanced technology in the new media.This is an artistic study of the elasticity of video surfaces, of the possibility of rethinking and re-dimensioning the experience of space through the use of images in motion. The authors Alexandro Ladaga, and Silvia Manteiga founded ELASTIC Group of Artistic Research in 1999. Their contributions to the international art scene are works with highly conceptual aspects, the fruit of careful analysis of their surroundings. Founder and editor of the book series before with Birkhنuser and Testo&Immagine and now with Edilstampa, is Antonino Saggio. www.arc1.Uniroma1.it/Saggio/IT/
