With a focus on artists’film and video organizations, practices, manifestos, and guiding debates, this volume takes stock of where we’ve been and speculates on where we’re headed. Exploring such fundamental issues as censorship, the importance of festivals, the politics of representation, and the longstanding division between film and video aesthetics and institutions, Explosion in the Movie Machine should become a crucial document for artists, students, critics and curators in local, national and international media arts communities." -- Publisher's website.

Each work/practice is then visually documented, with comments either by Gale or the artists themselves. Includes texts by Adamczyk and Parent – respectively on the "architecture" and the "electronic arts" sections of the event; text by Jinorio on a performance by E. Licha. List of works; biographical notes on artists. Texts in English and French. Circa 40 bibl. ref.
