New media in art history

The history of art and new media are inextricably linked – both historically and in the present day. This publication can be described as an interdisciplinary reflection: it examines the confrontation and interaction between art history and new media, highlighting key developments, opportunities, and tensions.

In eight studies, eleven researchers present new findings and explore the techniques and methods of new media – from electronic to digital and post-digital media – and the challenges these pose for art history. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the history and historiography of new media to their practical application, use, and reception, as well as creative processes, material conservation, and mediation.

• With new research findings, this book bridges the gap between art history and media studies
• With contributions by Keyvane Alinaghi, Sarah Amsler, Katharina Brandl, Fleur Chevalier, Aline Guillermet, Thomas Hänsli, Dominik Lengyel, Catherine Toulouse, Caroline Tron-Carroz, Zsofi Valyi-Nagy, and Nina Zschocke
• Cooperative project between the Swiss Association of Art Historians (VKKS) and the University of Neuchâtel
