Sommario/riassunto

In these essays, Nicholas Zurbrugg charts the developments in late 20th-century multimedia art. He challenges accounts of postmodern techno-culture, and interweaves literary and cultural theory and visual studies to demonstrate the neutering of mass-media culture and the exceptions to it.
