A thousand eyes : media technology, law, and aesthetics

Paasche, Marit. (Editor). Radul, Judy. (Editor).

Summary: "Since the early twentieth century, contemporary art and art theory have creatively challenged the status of representation. [...] To an increasing extent the law is present on screen, and the photographs, video documents, audio recordings used as evidence are not entirely distinct from their correlates in contemporary art, cinema and mass media."--Back cover.
