In the heart of London's media world, leading video artist Tony Oursler created a spectral son-et-lumi???re for Soho Square, as a kind of 'psycho-landscape'. Delving deep into the history of media, he has looked into historic shows that invoked the 'spirit' of the site, such as the phantasmagoria of the late 18th century, as well as the beliefs and superstitions that have haunted the media throughout the 20th century. This new book documents Oursler's most elaborate 'deep history of media' to date in an illustrated time line. An interview by Louise Neri highlights the background to the project while Marina Warner and Carlo McCormick elaborate on points of historic reference and consider the influence of and relationship to spiritualism within the development of the media in general, and Oursler's work in particular.

Seller's Description:
Used-Like New. In Madison Square Park in New York, and subsequently in Soho Square, the heart of London's media world, video artist Tony Oursler created a spectral audio-visual experience for an image-saturated society. Conceived as a kind of psycho-landscape, The Influence Machine delves deep into the history of media, rousing long-forgotten spirits and setting them to roam about both squares at night. The ghosts of the Fox Sisters, who made telegraphic contact with the spirit world in the mid-19th century, haunted alongside the ghost of television pioneer John Logie Baird. This book brings together Tony Oursler's most elaborate deep media projects in an illustrated time line, the Timestream, and accompanying texts elaborate on the phantasmagorias of the late 18th century, its contemporary equivalents, and the influence of spiritualism within the general development of media. Slight scratching/scuffing on dust jacket. Book has minor shelf wear.
