The ground-breaking event that took place during the 100 days of documenta IX in 1992 was an early experiment with entirely user-created content. This is the first book-length study of this largely forgotten experiment: It documents the radicality of Piazza virtuale's approach, the novel programme ideas and the technical innovations. It also allows, via QR codes, direct access to videos from the show, which until now have been inaccessible.Edition Medienwissenschaft ;Volume 96.Social mediaInteractive televisionSocial media.Interactive television.621.388Baumgärtel Tilman1966-1119651Weinert JulianMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996453548103316Van Gogh TV's "Piazza Virtuale"2965122UNISA
