From Greek antiquity to the present, from the book to the computer, from Gutenberg to Turing-our culture is defined by changes in recording, storage, and transmission media. In a six-volume selection of his writings, Peter Weibel presents an encyclopedia addressing the full breadth of this subject. In a close interplay between the history of technology and philosophy in the third volume, Peter Weibel examines how media-related transformations have not only expanded the status of images but the concept of art as well: the image has become an interactive, participatory event field with virtual storage, variable content, and viable behavior. In the twentieth century, against the resistance of the traditional arts, this visual revolution has generated new art forms in and with the media of photography, film, video, computer, and the Internet. It also places the more traditional art forms of painting and sculpture within this media paradigm. The three volumes that follow will be devoted to literature, politics, and theory in the context of new media.
