About “Expanded cinema”

Expanded Cinema by Gene Youngblood, published in 1970, was the first book to explore video as an art form. It played a key role in shaping the field of media arts. The book presents the idea that a new kind of cinema is needed to reflect a new way of thinking. Youngblood examines different forms of filmmaking that use new technologies, such as special effects in film, computer-generated art, video art, multi-media installations, and holography. His work helped define the early development of media art. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
