Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian poly-math artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy asa pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment.Was he then both a pioneer and a proto-critic of the digital? This book is intended to introduce this seminal figure of post-medial practices to younger generations and, by including responses to his work by contemporary artists, to reflect on the ways in which his work is relevant to artistic practice now.Having been highly praised by experts, this classic receives a second and slightly revised edition.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 297mmContributor: Oliver Botar (Text by), (Edited by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: Society & CultureISBN-10: 3037787465Author: Oliver BotarType: Communication StudiesSubtitle: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the ArtsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
