A history of media art from photography to the interconnected and collaborative art practices of the last two decades on the basis of 100 "masterpieces," edited by Peter Weibel and Siegfried Zielinski.
From photography to cinematography, sound art, machine and projection theatre, radio and television art, artistic video, mediabased action and Fluxus art to the networked practices of the last years: This media anthology not only puts the history of media art into an operative canon on the basis of more than 100 "masterpieces." It also contains a rhizomatic structure of global references in order to reveal the reciprocal networks of media experiments. An extensive introductory essay written by Siegfried Zielinski and Peter Weibel completes this indispensable reference work.
