    The Language of New Media
    Lev Manovich
    For more information please visit
    http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/MANGHF00.

    In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory
    of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media
    cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on
    conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera,
    and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the
    viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique
    to new media, such as interface and database.

    Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and
    computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as
    cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and
    history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among
    other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema
    and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new
    media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.

    Lev Manovich has been working with computer media for almost twenty years
    as an artist, designer, animator, computer programmer, and teacher. He
    teaches new media art, theory, and criticism in the Visual Arts Department
    at the University of California, San Diego.
