Description
The metamorphosis of the spectator and the arts in the age of YouTube.From plasma screens to smartphones, today moving images are everywhere. How have films adapted to this new environment? And how has the experience of the spectator changed because of this proliferation? In Broad Daylight investigates one of the decisive shifts in the history of Western aesthetics, exploring the metamorphosis of films in the age of individual media, when the public is increasingly free but also increasingly resistant to the emotive force of the pictures flashing around us. Moving deftly from philosophy of mind to film theory, from architectural practice to ethics, from Leon Battista Alberti to Orson Welles, Gabriele PedullAAAa AaAAaAa AaAAAAAaAA!AAaAaAA examines the revolution that is reshaping the entire system of the arts and creativity in all its manifestations.
