In this companion, a diverse, international and interdisciplinary group
of contributors and editors examine the rapidly expanding, far-reaching
field of mobile media as it intersects with art across a range of
spaces--theoretical, practical and conceptual.
As a vehicle for--and of--the everyday, mobile media is recalibrating
the relationship between art and digital networked media, and reshaping
how creative practices such as writing, photography, video art and
filmmaking are being conceptualized and practised. In exploring these
innovations, The Routledge Companion to Mobile Media Art pulls
together comprehensive, culturally nuanced and interdisciplinary
approaches; considerations of broader media ecologies and histories and
political, social and cultural dynamics; and critical and considered
perspectives on the intersections between mobile media and art.
This book is the definitive publication for researchers, artists and
students interested in comprehending all the various aspects of mobile
media art, covering digital media and culture, internet studies, games
studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, media and communication,
cultural studies and design.
