Stuff It
THE VIDEO ESSAY IN THE DIGITAL AGE | 2003
Stuff it is a illustrated collection of texts by video artists and cultural theorists who illuminate the video essay in its role as crossover and communicator between art, theory and critical practice in all its variations: from monologues of disembodyment to cartographies of diaspora experiences and transnational conditions, from the essay as the organisation of complex social shifts to its technological mutation and increasing digitalisation.
