Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.]]> 1887 3.95 118 10 4790497 8574194565 9788574194561 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1222374978m/4790497.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4790497.Derivas_cartografias_do_ciberespa_o 4.83 6 1994382 4.84 25 0 1889660 4.81 16 1 1887 3.95 118 10 2125438 4.50 10 2 4532417 8573594209 9788573594201 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223478375m/4532417.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4532417.Chip_e_o_Caleidosc_pio_Reflex_es_Sobre_as_Novas_M_dias 4.75 4 1994382 4.84 25 0 1889660 4.81 16 1 1887 3.95 118 10 3003492 4.75 4 0 124510 4.07 87 10 3003493 4.75 4 0 134382 4.03 30 3 1384880 4.27 11 2 2135023 4.75 4 0 3003494 4.75 4 0 2755 844931769X 9788449317699 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2755.El_Lenguaje_De_Los_Nuevos_Medios_De_Comunicacion_The_Language_of_New_Media 4.50 2 1887 3.95 118 10 3302691 026213456X 9780262134569 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3302691.Soft_Cinema_Navigating_the_Database 4.00 1
The results of their three-year explorations are the three "films" presented on this DVD. Although the films resemble the familiar genres of cinema, the process by which they were created demonstrates the possibilities of soft(ware) cinema. A "cinema," that is, in which human subjectivity and the variable choices made by custom software combine to create films that can run infinitely without ever exactly repeating the same image sequences, screen layouts and narratives.

Mission to Earth, a science fiction allegory of the immigrant experience, adopts the variable choices and multi-frame layout of the Soft Cinema system to represent "variable identity." Absences is a lyrical black and white narrative that relies on algorithms normally deployed in military and civilian surveillance applications to determine the editing of video and audio. Texas, a "database narrative," assembles its visuals, sounds, narratives, and even the identities of its characters, from multiple databases. The DVD was designed so that every viewing of each film generates a different version.]]> 1887 3.95 118 10 372813 4.00 1 0 869773 0937108375 9780937108376 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/869773.Animated_Painting 3.00 1 448677 3.00 1 0 1887 3.95 118 10 216943 4.14 7 2 493439 0226951243 9780226951249 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175209734m/493439.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/493439.Tekstura_Russian_Essays_on_Visual_Culture 3.00 1
Taking its title from a Russian word that can refer to the 'texture" of life, painting, or writing, this anthology assembles thirteen key essays in art history and cultural theory by Russian-language writers. The essays erase boundaries between high and low, official and dissident, avant-garde and socialist realism, art and everyday life. Everything visual is deemed worthy of analysis, whether painting or propaganda banners, architecture or candy wrappers, mass celebrations or urban refuse.

Most of the essays appear here in English for the first time. The editors have selected works of the past twenty years by philosophers, literary critics, film scholars, and art historians. Also included are influential earlier essays by Mikhail Bakhtin, V. N. Voloshinov, and Sergei Eisenstein. Compiled for general readers and specialists alike, Tekstura is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Russian and Soviet cultural history or in new theoretical approaches to the visual.

Nor do I aim to discuss all new creative techniques it enables across different cultural fields. Instead, I will trace a particular path through this history that will take us from 1960 to today and which will pass through some of its most crucial points."]]> 1887 3.95 118 10 1486521 3883961973 9783883961972 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184109281m/1486521.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1486521.Black_Box_White_Cube 0.0 0 1887 3.95 118 10 6972169 1849660107 9781849660105 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6972169-info-aesthetics 0.0 0 1887 3.95 118 10 493440 3775790276 9783775790277 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175209735m/493440.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/493440.Vision_ruhr_ 0.0 0 275272 3.94 18 0 1887 3.95 118 10 7173123 0937108405 9780937108406 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7173123-animated-painting 0.0 0 448677 3.00 1 0 1887 3.95 118 10 260582 0.0 0 0 3127011 0.0 0 0 3180411 0.0 0 0 3180412 0.0 0 0
