Digital Film Event e-bog

Endless travel in cyberspace, virtual reality, and the dream of limitless speed: technology changes our sense of self. In her new book, Trinh Minh-ha explores the way technology transforms our perception of reality. "e;We are all engaged in social rituals in our daily activities, she writes, "e;and by remaining unaware of their artistic ritual propensity, we remain 'in conformity'."e; Her goal, as a thinker and an artist, is to transform our understanding of technology and speed so that we are able to "e;turn an instrument into a creative tool and to step out of the one-dimensional, technologically servile mind."e; The paradox that "e;stillness contains speed within it"e; is central to Trinh's concept of the digital apparatus. With her signature amalgam of feminism, Eastern philosophy, and practical understanding of filmmaking, Trinh Minh-ha presents a much-needed advance in our concept of the real in a technological age.
