The Language of New Media
Lev Manovich
For more information please visit
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/MANGHF00.
In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory
of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media
cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on
conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera,
and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the
viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique
to new media, such as interface and database.
Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and
computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as
cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and
history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among
other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema
and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new
media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.
Lev Manovich has been working with computer media for almost twenty years
as an artist, designer, animator, computer programmer, and teacher. He
teaches new media art, theory, and criticism in the Visual Arts Department
at the University of California, San Diego.
