Paperback, 236 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Mild handling wear. Straight uncreased spine. -- This book, the first in the "Axis of Observation" series, offers a deep theoretical analysis of the work of Frank Gillette, a seminal figure in the first generation of video artists. The essays move beyond a simple survey of his art to explore the complex epistemological questions at the heart of his practice. The contributors examine how Gillette used technologies like multi-channel installations and closed-circuit feedback loops to investigate the relationship between natural ecosystems, information systems, and human consciousness, framing his work as a profound inquiry into the nature of perception and knowledge itself.

This volume chronicles the visual art and writings of pioneering video artist Frank Gillette. Revisiting his work from the late ‘60s and ‘70s to his current practice, this book traces Gillette’s incorporation of the natural world into new media technologies. Surveying the oeuvre of this seminal artist, the reader is offered an insight into how technology erupted and continues to intersect with sense perception, and visual thinking. Axis of Observation I: Frank Gillette includes essays written by Suzanne Anker, Sabine Flach, Taney Roniger, David Ross, and Roy Skodnick, together with a facsimile of Gillette’s first publication Between Paradigms: The Mood and its Purpose (1973).
