Technological Constructions of Space-Time
Aspects of Perception
Heike Helfert

With the development of technical media of representation, these media also simultaneously moved into the scope of artistic debates. The use of audiovisual media and new communication technologies has introduced numerous new aspects to the conceptual and aesthetic engagement with questions of perception. In this fashion, new possibilities are opened up in particular for the use of temporal-spatial contexts, which are artistically explored in many new ways and forms. Using selected examples, the author describes various aspects of the engagement with questions of perception in connection with the technical media of reproduction in the twentieth century. [more]
