book series:
MONTAGES. ASSEMBLING AS A FORM AND SYMPTOM IN CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Edited by Cristina Baldacci and Marco Bertozzi
Preface by Angela Vettese
_____________________________________________________________
About the book:
Montage, today, is a widespread procedure that doesn’t concern just
artistic production, but also our daily lives and the use everyone makes
of that huge visual archive that contemporary media place at our
disposal. In a technologically advanced society, where the notion of
postproduction regulates our relationship with images and objects, it is
therefore necessary to thoroughly investigate the role, possibilities,
and, most of all, anthropological and political connotations of montage;
and to ask ourselves whether – in comparison to the heroic years of the
avant-garde movements – montage has become a faded and standardized
practice or if it is a more and more effective means to understand and
reprogramme the world, especially in relation to the technical
possibilities offered by new media and remix practices.
