Signals: How Video Transformed the World
Michelle Kuo and Stuart Comer
A companion to the exhibition, this catalogue—the Museum’s first major publication on the subject in twenty-five years—includes an introductory essay by the curators and six thematic texts by leading scholars and artists that investigate the range of artistic engagements with video, media, and the public sphere. Here, video is posed not as a traditional medium but as a pervasive and fluid media network that is thoroughly global, social, and interactive: a means of politics.
