This volume chronicles the visual art and writings of pioneering video artist Frank Gillette. Revisiting his work from the late ‘60s and ‘70s to his current practice, this book traces Gillette’s incorporation of the natural world into new media technologies. Surveying the oeuvre of this seminal artist, the reader is offered an insight into how technology erupted and continues to intersect with sense perception, and visual thinking. Axis of Observation I: Frank Gillette includes essays written by Suzanne Anker, Sabine Flach, Taney Roniger, David Ross, and Roy Skodnick, together with a facsimile of Gillette’s first publication Between Paradigms: The Mood and its Purpose (1973).

The Vertigo of Reality explores the profound changes in art as a result of digital media, such as video games. It includes work by artists such as Tino Seghall, Thomas Demand, Peter Campus, Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman, Harun Faroki, Trevor Paglen, Christian Falsnaes and Franz Reimer.
