Another World Is Virtual 161 Notes 179 Bibliography 191 Index 199ReviewsHomay King's Virtual Memory is a fascinating and beautifully written book that explores the complex imbrication of the analog with the digital, both technologically and conceptually, and makes the case that there is no experience of technology or art that can avoid engagement with the reality of lived experience. Considering the breadth of its examples and topics, Virtual Memory should find readers not only in film and media studies, but in art history and criticism, and science and technology studies as well. An outstanding book. --D. N. Rodowick, author of Philosophy's Artful Conversation Homay King is an astute observer of art, her analyses masterful and original. The book's project of redeploying the philosophical concept of the virtual toward a renewed understanding of time-based art is one of great importance for art theory and media studies, and is brought to fruition in these pages with interpretive skill and conceptual precision. --Brian Massumi, author of Ontopower: War, Powers, and the State of Perception Author InformationHomay King is Associate Professor of History of Art at Bryn Mawr College and the author of Lost in Translation: Orientalism, Cinema, and the Enigmatic Signifier, also published by Duke University Press.
