Abstract or Description

This book explores practices of screening (screening out, screening off, editing visibility). It does this by looking at screens through three colour modes: black (the privacy of redaction), white (the white backdrop) and green (the anyspacewhatever of the green screen)

Screens are seen not as information interfaces but as information mediators: in that they are often are used to manipulate, filter, selectively remove, separate, overlay or cover images in contemporary visual culture. In this way, screens are a sensor for contemporary conditions of visibility, and a method of creating new spatial practices and spatial worlds.

Screens can also be seen as a surface that are blank, neutral and international. They can displace a person in a non-place free from the bounds of time, place and location, or make a persons identity disappear. What lies in store for a person that inhabits this non-space? How do we navigate this space? How does it enfold us in its material, and in turn, how do we get caught up in it?
