Imersão para desenvolvimento de projetos - immersion into projects in development

Abstract

The third Video Vortex reader aims to build upon the first two readers, reflecting upon networked video, as it profoundly re-shapes medial patterns (Youtube, citizen journalism, video surveillance etc.). This volume more particularly revolves around a society whose re-assembled image sphere evokes new patterns and politics of visibility, in which networked and digital video produces novel forms of perception, publicity – and even (co-)presence. A thorough multi-faceted critique of media images that takes up perspectives from practitioners, theoreticians, sociologists, programmers, artists and political activists seems essential. The video book will enable us to go beyond the format offered by the first two volumes, presenting a unique publication which reflects upon video theoretically, but attempts to fuse form and content.
