Abstract:
"The twentieth century was marked by the fall of all specific artistic disciplines. Painting and sculpture began to intertwine with other artistic languages - architecture and photography, cinema and design - through the unbridled use of all techniques and all media. Vertigo: A Century of Multimedia Art, from Futurism to the Web aims to document multimedia overlays created through the use of new technologies - radio and television, the telephone and gramophone, film and the computer - that have marked the artistic practices of the historic and contemporary avant-gardes, from futurism to constructivism, dada to surrealism, pop art to conceptual art. It features a long line-up of images and thoughts, books and manifestos, films and photographs, discs and videos produced by the major protagonist of art - both yesterday and today, from Balla to Marinetti, Schwitters to Duchamp, Warhol to Beuys, Nauman to Kiefer and Paik to Anderson - for an aesthetic view completely free of all spatial, temporal and media-based confines."--Jacket.
