Vision Anew: The Lens and Screen Arts by ADAM BELL AND CHARLES H. TRAUB
“A remarkable compendium of important artists, practitioners, theorists, and essayists, who muse on what constitutes creativity in the lens and screen arts today. I think this book is destined to be essential reading for all those thinking about the future of our visual culture.” Mark Lubell, Executive Director, International Center of Photography “Brings together prophetic historic texts with the best of recent thinking to create an essential reader. This book provides a critical framework
that genuinely supports a creative life in photography.” Charlotte Cotton, author of The Photograph as Contemporary Art The ubiquity of digital images has profoundly changed the responsibilities
and capabilities of anyone and everyone who uses them. Thanks to a range of innovations, from the convergence of moving and still image in the latest DSLR cameras to the growing potential of interactive and online photographic work, the lens and screen have emerged as central tools for many artists. Vision Anew brings together a diverse selection of texts by practitioners, critics, and scholars
to explore the evolving nature of the lens-based arts. Presenting essays on photography and the moving image alongside engaging interviews with artists and filmmakers, Vision Anew offers an inspired assessment of the medium’s ongoing importance in the digital era.
