The first book to focus exclusively on the tactics and goals of new media art activists.
TACTICAL MEDIA
Rita Raley
University of Minnesota Press | 208 pages | 2009 ISBN 978-0-8166-5151-1 | paperback | $19.50 ISBN 978-0-8166-5150-4 | hardcover | $58.50 Electronic Mediations Series, volume 28
Tactical media describes interventionist media art practices that engage and critique the dominant political and economic order. Rather than taking to the streets, the practitioners of tactical media engage in an aesthetic politics of disruption, intervention, and education. In Tactical Media, Rita Raley provides a critical exploration of the new media art activism that has emerged out of, and in direct response to, postindustrialism and neoliberal globalization.
"Tactical Media is smart, original, well-grounded in the field, and a pleasure to read. It is everything a book should be."-Alexander R. Galloway
