Routledge Geneses of Postmodern Art: Technology As Iconology

Explore the evolution of visual creativity in Geneses of Postmodern Art: Technology As Iconology. Part of the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series, this book examines how postmodernism transformed the art world starting in the 1960s. It looks at the shift inspired by Duchamp, where artworks no longer require physical creation by the artist, allowing mass culture and technology to serve as primary media. Paul Crowther provides a deep look into how technology has become a lived experience rather than just a tool. This text helps readers understand the naturalization of technology in contemporary life and how it shapes modern aesthetics. By studying the connection between technological advancement and artistic expression, you gain a better understanding of how the digital and mechanical age redefined what it means to create art. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of photography, video, and visual studies.
