Cinema was the unrivalled art form of the twentieth century; in the art world the use of film and video and the appropriation of cinematic language and devices for works in a range of media have been growing since the early 1960s. In the realm of popular culture, the influence of this technology and its vocabulary (and of subsequent incarnations like television and the internet) has grown to the point where the boundaries between 'real life' and make-believe are at the least blurred and at most indecipherable.
This volume opens with an overview by Kerry Brougher of the cultural, social and psychological issues raised by the project, before dividing into two parts which reflect the opposing poles at the core of cinema and its role in art and contemporary culture.
Part I, Dreams, opens with a discussion by Kelly Gordon of how and why moving-image work has shifted from the margins to the center of art production, and considers the analogous relationship between cinema technology and the psychology of dreams and the ways in which artists compel or challenge the suspension of disbelief, encouraging viewers awareness of their participation in this process.
Part II, Realisms, shifts the focus to the larger societal impact of cinema's pervasiveness and looks at the work of emerging artists. In this section Anne Ellegood examines how the interplay between reality and fiction informs artists explorations into subjectivity, individuality and character. At the heart of Realisms is the irony that, while over the course of the 20th century moving-picture media have become dominant modes for documentary and distribution of factual imagery, the moving image is also increasingly understood to be a powerful vehicle of illusion and distraction.
