Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery, Bowie's videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and remediation of music video.

Filling a gap in the existing literature, this book shines a light on the significant contributions of directors such as Mick Rock, Stanley Dorfman and David Mallet, each of whom taught Bowie much about how to use the form. By examining Bowie''s collaborative process, his use of surrealist strategies and his integration of avant-garde art with popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video in relation to the broader fields of audiovisual media, visual music and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this wonderful book, Lisa enables us to see and hear the remarkable assemblages that we find in David Bowie’s time-travelling audio-visual work. Art and culture, the aesthetics of fashion and performance, and the politics of race and otherness, are the inter-planetary orbits that are deftly explored through close examination of Bowie’s television, promotional and music video performances. Bowie emerges as a figure who remade himself and recast the artforms that he visited – always alien-like, in flux, thirsting for water that would replenish him and us.

With thoughtful and satisfying analysis, she drills down through layers of representation and reference, revealing new insights into Bowie’s creative practice.   Perrott’s book looks at Bowie’s work with music video as the interconnected, interdisciplinary, richly nuanced body of work that it is. She makes a compelling case for the cultural and scholarly significance of music video as a collaborative, transmedial artform, worthy of deep study. * Leah Kardos, Senior Lecturer in Music, Kingston University, UK, and author of Blackstar Theory (Bloomsbury, 2022) *\u003cbr\u003eIt’s been a long time coming, but the wait is over! Finally, a book-length study about the music videos of David Bowie. Lisa Perrott has written a comprehensive and thought-provoking study of the music videos of Bowie from the 1969-83 (the sequel, dealing with the later videos is being published this year). This is a significant work that examines the role Bowie played as an avant-garde creator and collaborator who transformed (and helped create) the music video into an art form that generated a dialogue with music, theatre, film, dance, and other artistic forms. The writing is engaging and accessible and Perrott takes the reader on a journey through the cultural, social, and artistic processes that fuelled the mind of this larger-than-life figure and his various personas. It was an utter pleasure diving into the deep analysis of classics such as \u003ci\u003eSpace Oddity, Jean Genie\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAshes to Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e, while also reading about the intertextual threads that ran across many of the videos across time.

What factors intervene to enable or restrict these passages? In After Uniqueness, Erika Balsom explores strategies that have changed our conceptual framework of how circulation functions today-what we mean by 'copy,' 'reproduction,' 'authenticity,' and 'authorship.' To explore this is to understand what moving images represent in our current world. An original, elegant, and impressively researched work. -- Francesco Casetti, Yale University Once only mechanically reproducible, all kinds of moving image art are now digitally copied and disseminated in innumerable apparatuses that were unimaginable forty years ago. Ranging in its references from eighteenth-century printmaking to UbuWeb, Balsom's brilliant and beautifully written book is a tour de force of scholarship and critical analysis that investigates the new forms of liberation and of control that ubiquitous copying offers. Its spirited intellection is exhilarating. -- David James, University of Southern California Balsom is at the forefront of a generation of scholars who focus on the history of film's relationship to the other arts-an enterprise that she terms, in the spirit of Andre Bazin, 'Where Is Cinema?' Her new volume is a timely addition that addresses the ubiquity of screens in contemporary art and examines, with her signature precision, the inner workings of the networks through which cinema now circulates.

This is the definitive book on NFTs in the story of art and collecting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is co-authored by an art historian who has written often on the value of art and the history of collecting. NFTs caught Noah Charney’s attention and fascinated him.

He was recently a “normee” but he’s now halfway inside the club—he is also an acknowledged authority on the history of art and collecting. He knows all there is to know about humans collecting things of no practical value but that we just really want. But then he worked for a period with two crypto-related companies, and got to know this world from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe’s not alone on this ride.

Kenny is an artist, collector, curator, professor, columnist and NFT influencer. In fact, he was listed in the fall of 2021 as among the 30 most influential people in the world of NFTs. He even coined (and trademarked) a term, NFTism. While Charney is an art historian considering the NFT phenomenon from the thoughtful but remote perch of his couch, examining NFTs historical and within the context of collecting and the value of art, Kenny has been “in the field” more than anyone, even during the pandemic, zipping from London to Zurich to Art Basel Switzerland to Art Basel Miami.
