Resolution 3: Video Praxis in Global Spaces - Forthcoming

Coedited by Ming-Yuen S. Ma and Erika Suderburg, the Resolution 3 book seeks to examine the theoretical, historical and contemporary implications of video art and video based praxis in twenty-first century global culture. While Resolution: A Critique of Video Art was one of the first critical texts on video art to be published in the U.S., Resolutions: Contemporary Video Practices was one of the first books to tackle video as a medium across disciplines from a theoretical, activist, practical, hybrid, and transnational perspective, collecting texts from scholars, practitioners and engaged observers. Resolution 3, the third in a trilogy, continues this mandate and embarks on an analysis of the third decade of video as marked within and outside the margins of art production, broadcast interventions, festival codification, projected spectacle, museum entombment, digital tracing, 24/7 streaming, activist tool, essay, and camcorder document. Intending to broaden, contest and amplify the mediated space problematized and interrogated by its two predecessors, this companion volume examines the state of this practice in the third decade of videos deployment as examiner, tool, witness, poetic flight, leverage, and document.
