In doing so,he discusses artists'widely differing achievements,aspirations,theories and approaches.Featuring over 400 international moving-image makers and drawing on examples from across the arts,including experimental film,video,installation and multimedia,this generously illustrated account offers an incomparable introduction to this increasingly popular and continually evolving art-form.With 153 illustrations in colour
