Publisher's Synopsis
Art mirrors life; life returns the favor. How could nineteenth and twentieth century technologies foster both the change in the world view generally called &«postmodernism» and the development of new art forms? Scholar and curator Faye Ran shows how interactions of art and technology led to cultural changes and the evolution of Installation art as a genre unto itself - a fascinating hybrid of expanded sculpture in terms of context, site, and environment, and expanded theatre in terms of performer, performance, and public.
