> About the book
>
> The notion of spectatorship has become of increasing interest as artists
> develop experimental works and manufacturers seek to produce the means for
> viewing such works. 'Modes of Spectating' explores the visual landscapes
> which spectators encounter, and how they perceive what they view.
>
> The volume questions the effect of different mediums on the spectator and
> asks not only how we view, but also how what we view determines what artists
> create. Chapters discuss how gaming and televisual media and entertainment
> are used by young people, and the resulting psychological challenges of
> human beings in their new ?spectated? surroundings of virtual worlds and
> media. Themes explored include aesthetics, the body and mind and digital
> entertainment environments, looked at through the lenses of gaming art,
> photography, sculpture and performance, making it a useful text for scholars
> of all disciplines of media and art.
>
> Chapters include: The Audience in Second Life: Thoughts on the Virtual
> Spectator, Cultural Use of Cyberspace: Paradigms of Digital Reality and
> Sites of Performance: The Wollstonecraft Live Experience!
