Resolutions 3

<div> <p><i>Resolutions 3</i> explores the wide-ranging implications of video art and video-based production in contemporary media culture. It is the third volume in a series composed of <i>Resolution: A Critique of Video Art</i> (1986) and <i>Resolutions: Contemporary Video Practices</i> (1996). While <i>Resolution</i> was one of the first critical texts on video art in the United States <i>Resolutions</i> was one of the first books to address video as a medium across disciplines from theoretical activist and transnational perspectives.</p> <p><i>Resolutions 3</i> articulates this legacy as a challenge to reengage with the explosive viral reach of moving image-based content and its infiltration into and impact on culture and everyday life. The contributors to this work analyze what is now a fourth decade of video practices as marked within and outside the margins of art production networked interventions projected spectacle museum entombment or 24/7 streaming. Intending to broaden contest and amplify the mediated space that was defined by its two predecessors this volume investigates the ever-changing state of video's deployment as examiner tool journal reportage improvisation witness riff leverage and document.</p> <p>Contributors: Kathleen Ash-Milby Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian; Myriam-Odile Blin Rouen U France; Nancy Buchanan California Institute of the Arts; Derek A.
