During the past twenty years the use of projected image in art has rapidly
expanded, producing equally rapid alterations in the definitions and
parameters of its employment. This symposium focuses on new writings that
take into consideration both the current status, forms and uses of the
projected image and its complicated and multiple histories. Invited by
organizers Stan Douglas and Christopher Eamon, ten international scholars
will present new research on a variety of key topics involving artists“
uses of the cinematographic in the twentieth and twenty-first century.
Relating current screen practice to moments in the history of the medium,
these papers investigate topics ranging from the film cooperatives of the
1960s, the endurance and representation of time in recent projected-image
work, multiple screens and montage in contemporary art, to the idea of
converging media through digitalization in the late 1990s and 2000s.
