Description

Explore the evolution of late 20th-century multimedia art with Critical Vices: The Myths of Postmodern Theory. In this collection of essays, Nicholas Zurbrugg provides a fresh perspective on the developments within art, theory, and culture. He directly addresses and challenges the perspectives of prominent thinkers like Jean Baudrillard, Fredric Jameson, and Achille Bonito-Oliva regarding postmodern techno-culture. By combining literary theory, cultural studies, and visual studies, Zurbrugg offers a deep look into how multimedia artists maintain creative agency. The text examines how visionaries such as Bill Viola and Robert Wilson act as exceptions to the perceived neutering of mass-media culture. These artists successfully bridge the gap between the modernist and postmodern avant-garde, creating a unique space for artistic expression within a digital age. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of technology and contemporary visual art.
