Museum of Art (February 25, 2018 - May 20, 2018) - Will appeal to those
with interest in contemporary art, new media and the growing field of
Virtual Reality - Debuts latest work The Dress That Eats Souls, which
exists at the forefront of computer and robotic technology This uniquely
designed book presents the first survey of contemporary artist Toni
Dove's pioneering work at the crossroads of performance, cinema, and
virtual reality. Credited as one of the innovators of "interactive
cinema," since the early 1990s, Toni Dove has created an oeuvre of
"speculative technology" blending computer driven interactivity,
live-mix performance and installation in projects which examine
histories of consumer culture through evolving technologies. Dove's
collaborative practice brings together visual artists, filmmakers,
fashion designers, robotics engineers, computer programmers, musicians,
actors, and writers-each at the vanguard of his or her own métier.
Accompanying a major exhibition, this distinctively designed volume
presents four of Dove's most notable works, including the debut of her
newest work The Dress That Eats Souls, which exists at the forefront of
computer and robotic technology. Contents: Director's Foreword; Our
Ghosts, Our Machines, Our Selves: The Art of Toni Dove; Beyond Mother
Tongue: A Brief Archaeology; Toni Dove's Nonmodern Ontologies; Carried
Away; Collaboration, Toni Dove; On Narrative and Interface: An Interview
