This informative, inspiring, and richly illustrated survey book by German journalist, filmmaker and curator Heinz Peter Schwerfel offers an accessible and informative overview on contemporary moving-image art, focusing of contemporary storytelling in media art as the laboratory for new forms in understanding our reality. It elaborates the possibility of media art to short-circuit the mass media’s universally understandable language and make art once again a critical mirror of its time.
